aspire nautilus mini...

[otto]

Hi everyone, I've been gaping for more than a year but recently purchased a nautilus mini and am having an issue...
The 'juice' gets dark and 'burnt' looking and loses the good taste very quickly... I have the dial set between 3.8 and 4.3, I've replaced the coils every 2 days and changed juice...
The tank unit gets quite warm, not burning hot but very warm if I puff for a solid 5 minutes...
Am I doing something wrong or is this just how this particular product is?
I read dozens of reviews before purchasing and many since I noticed this issue and haven't come across anyone else with this problem....
??? Any thoughts out there?

Thanks everyone...

Im not particularly familiar with this problem. Could you provide some more information. What is the pg/vg level of your juice. High vg may not be wicking properly or may be gunking things up so that it isnt firing properly.

I use a 70/30 juice, this problem didn't happen with my Atlantis, and in the low end basic other ecigs this 'burned look & taste' was the coil getting worn out...
But I'm replacing the coil every other day, put in a new one yesterday afternoon and by midnight it was looking burnt....
I'm careful about not having the setting up higher than 4.3, so other than the battery producing too much heat and this unit is defective (bought new in the Premium Kit) I highly doubt that's the case...

When I researched this model everything I read was positive and there were mentions of the coils lasting pretty long, so I'm feeling quite frustrated...

I dont know. Maybe you just got a bad batch of coils. One of the reasons i love my nautilus is i have had very few problems with it. 2 to 3 week coil life and can hand 5 volts without any issues thpugh i prefer between 4.2 and 4.6 on it.

Ok, that's kinda what I was hoping to hear... I definitely puff on it like a chain-smoke so I know I'll go through coils a bit faster, but 2 days is ridiculous...
I'll pick up another pack of coils n hopefully that'll solve it...
thanks for the input and suggestions...
have a good one!

Before you put in a new coil jam a very tightly rolled paper towel or tissue in the well of the tank and get all the juice out. Then put a new coil in and make sure it is tight. When you refill check that the coil is still tight because they will loosen up sometimes and when it does juice will burn. Hope this helps you out.

Excellent, thank you.
I'll try that next time I change coils...

Before using a new coil, you should put some drops of juice in it, than fill your tank and wait for some minutes. If the wicking material is not fully wet before the first puff, the coil life will reduce a lot. I hope this can help.
