Aspire Nautilus

[Timeghoul]

I'm using an Aerotank right now and its working fine for me :s

I finally narrowed the Nautilus issues to 2 culprits; deffective heads and vaping style. The first is easily solved, albeit at a cost. The second is to realize that this atomizer demands certain attention.

This tank doesn't like airy draws; it just doesn't produce vapor nor taste. The best settings are the first and second orifices (from small to large). It doesn't either like to be left overnight on the side with the vents open; it leaks to the base and seeps through the holes. The solution is to move the ring so all the vents are closed, or place it in vertical position in a mod holder.

The 1.8 heads last longer and if you have a decent mod, they can give an equal amount of vapor. It seems to me they give even better flavor and are les prone to clog.

The head must be cleaned regularly. An overnight bath in Everclear or >95° ethil alcohol will loosen the carbon cake. Then, a careful repeated dry burning until you get an even red coil will convert all the crust to ashes. A second vigorous wash in alcohol will remove them from the head. Involved but beats throwing them in the trash can.

When the atty starts gurgling, a pipe cleaner through the chimney and then through the largest vent will remove most of the juice excess.

The other part of the equation is great tasting vapor that goes on for hours.

Thanks for your post. This procedure worked for me. I was hesitant to try the dry burning because I read that it would scorch the cup, etc., but I decided to try it anyway, and I don't experience any burnt taste.

Regarding dual coil clearomizers, it's been my experience, and I don't have much, that they appear to suck up a lot more juice than a single coil clearomizers. Is this my imagination or do others experience the same phenomena?

Twice as much than a single coil.

I use both, the aerotank has been just about flawless as long as I rinse the coil every other day it fits better on my mods better too. both are really nice tanks. cheaper to change coils on the Aero

So I have about 5 open atomizers now and another 7 new ones of both available ohms. My new ritual is a nightly soak of the the days atty in PGA (Everclear). And then I let it dry for the next day while I swap to a different atty. It works pretty well. The only times I have opened a new atty for the past couple of weeks was when I forgot to take them out of the PGA to dry. For the most part I get a nice flavorful vape all day and I use 90vg/10pg most of the time. Boba's Bounty from avejuice.com .... If you are transitioning from analogues I highly suggest this juice it is might tasty but it is hard on atomizers because it is 0 PG and mostly VG and I am guessing distilled water.

Cleaning the coils? How long can you get a coil to last without having to fully replace it?

I have such an inconsistency with my coils. Some last a day, some last a week before I experience a burnt taste. I have 1.6 coils and 1.8. Given the cost of the coils, I'm looking for any way to extend their life. I just looked into rebuilding but it doesn't seem practical.

Weeks to months depending on how often/hard you're hitting it and what kind of wattage you're pushing through it.


I don't have a Nautilus, but I've been using the same coil in my Aerotank for a month and a half and typically average about 2 months out of my iClear coils. As long as the coil fires properly I just clean and occassionally rewick them. I only replace them when they stop working.
