Have been running one for a while now and love it so much so that my KFL+ has been sitting empty ready for a build for the last few weeks. I'll admit that the coils it shipped with were total junk but, knock on wood, the replacements have been great. I unscrew the head, blow it out, wipe out the very bottom base it screws into, screw the head back in and then dry burn about ever other tank and the heads last a lot longer. No complaints at all and it produces great flavor and tons of vapor. Best tank going IMO but I haven't tried them all.

YMMV

Edit: Just received an email that GotVapes has them plus the replacement heads on sale for 15% off right now, just a heads up. I have no connection with them at all, just passing along the goods.

Been hesitant on buying a Nautilus as it's big and I thought it would look goofy on my MVP.

Went to my local B&M today and a buddy that works there had one on his MVP. Looked good on it so I put my drip tip on his tank and tried it out.

I left with A Nautlius and a bottle of my fave juice
actually big tanks fit well with the mvp i can link a picture of a kfl if you want?

This is my 5th day on the Nautilus and I'm loving it! The best thing about it is how easy it is to clean. I just rinse the tank under hot running water and let it air dry. I do the same with the coil and just let it air dry over night. When it's dry, I just dry burn it for a few minutes and its ready to go. And the best thing about it is that I can fill it without using a needle tip bottle. Heck, if I had juice in a cup I could just pour it in and not spill a drop. At 5 ml's the tank will last all day long without having to refill. I'm on the road or at a clients office most days, so it's nice to be able to fill it in the morning and not have to worry about running out of juice.

The only bad thing I can see at this point is the tank itself. Unlike other tanks that have some type of metal ring at the top and bottom of the tank, the Nautilus has nothing at the top. I have not dropped it yet, but I have a feeling if it hits the ground it might break a lot easier than a protank or something like that. I was working on my cabin last weekend and dropped my K100 with an Aero Tank on it. I was on the roof and dropped it. It hit the ground mouthpiece first. I had to stick a wire in the drip to get all the mud out of it. The good news is that nothing broke. I thought for sure it would be broken somewhere, but it was not. I don' know if the Nautilus would fare so well. But other than that, it's a great tank.

Just upgraded last week to a Nautilus and ProVari. Absolutely love everything about it so far. I tried to switch to the 1.8 coil but couldn't get it to wick properly, so I switched back to the 1.6. Super dry hits for some reason. It's probably user error though.

I've been getting that problem since my Nautilus arrived. I have a feeling the coil just has wicking problems with certain juices. I keep blowing into it (forcing air into the tank, which forces juice into the coil) to force it to wick properly. I think the replacement coils I have will fare better. I've heard there were serious problems with the coils early on. I'm thinking perhaps the ones that came with it are slightly defective and am hoping my replacements will be good.

There's a few sellers on eBay that have stainless replacements for the glass. I did that with both of mine and they have survived drops onto concrete a few times. I didn't trust the glass.

I've been having a weird issue with my nautilus where the ohms on the coils keep increasing over time (according to my evic) and produce less vapor. I'm trying to figure out what's happening - they start at 1.8 but over days they begin to increase, with one hitting like 3.5.

Is this normal? I feel I'm going through coils a little too fast (about 1 every 2-3 days) on my main vape. What's weird is the coil still looks fine, it's not all burn't like the coil it came with, which lasted a few weeks, it still relatively white/gray/not-charred, but it's just not vaping.

I've heard there were some bad coils out there, but these I got just last week. Even so, is this the behaviour of the bad coils?

Thanks.
