I got an Aspire Nautilus about a month ago, I have used it on my EVOD VV 1100mAh battery at different setting of 4.2-4.8. It is a truly nice tank, with the air open to 3-clicks it produced a good supply of vapor. Yes, it's 22mm~7/8ths inch diameter is a little top heavy on a battery that's 16mm~5/8ths inch diameter, it would be prone to falling over easily. I only used it when sitting at my desk and stood it in my vape stand when I set it down. I doubt I would use it when out and about, although it would slip nicely into a pocket, and I guess you can get some kind of hanging container that you could have on a neck strap. I use the KangerTech AeroTank on my EVOD VV. It is a super good tank, has an air setting, just a pleasure to use. Best of both worlds with VW and VV in a more streamline package that is less top heavy.

I decided that the Aspire Nautilus would be better served sitting on top of a bigger, more stable piece of hardware, I have a couple larger diameter MODS, the Nautilus works perfectly on them. I got an an itazte 134 mini for my birthday, put the Aspire Nautilus on it . . it's a really nice combo, a little more power than the EVOD's 4.8, set it at it's lowest setting of 7.0 to the coil and at the same air setting at 3-clicks I used with the EVOD VV - it really produced a lot of vapor.

I am not one to want my e-cig to produce mega amounts of vape, just a good tasting, decent amount, and have a tank that I only have to fill every so often, maybe daily, thereabouts. Same applies to battery life, have the battery produce about the same amount of time that my liquid lasts, again, thereabouts. I get 2 days of vaping out of a battery and 1 tank of liquid in the 134 mini with the 18500 battery. I had to change the battery daily with the EVOD 110mAh.

I would get another Aspire Nautilus in a heartbeat, is so far an excellent tank, I am still on the original coil after one month of use, it's heated about 150ml of juice, maybe a little more.

Have had the Nautilus for about a week and partially satisfied with it. When it goes good it's awesome but if I switch it over to another mod it can start gurgling or get dry hits. Also get dry/burnt hits sometimes when i open the airflow. Have changed the coil twice already. Have a feeling i didn't get the best out of the litter as it is quite unstable. Will be getting a Aerotank mini soon and see how they are.
 
Aspire Nautilus user here. I really wanted to like this tank but so far I've not been too happy with it. Within 2 days of using the stock 1.6ohm coil it died. I have the stock 1.8ohm coil in it now and ordered a 5 pack so maybe those will last longer. The vapor production on my MVP V2 is nowhere near as good as it is with the iclear30. I have to really puff on it to get anything out of it. At first I thought it might of been the 1.6ohm coil but the 1.8ohm coil is having the same issue. With coils being $3.50 a pop this is unacceptable. Also I'm getting dry hits galore, I keep finding myself having to prime it after a few vapes. I'll keep you guys posted on how long the replacement coils last but just be aware of these issues before you buy. Some people claim to have no problems and their coil lasts weeks, I have no idea how that's possible unless I'm just very unlucky.

WOW, someone from St. Charles and that lovely downtown area! If you visit you tube, there are some great videos on how to rebuilt the nautilus coils. I was amazed at how simple it is and if this old lady can do it, anyone can! They last for a weeks and in my opinion are much better than the ones we can purchase with the added bonus of costing a tiny fraction of the retail price.

So, an update on my progress: the 1.8ohm coil has died today. That's now 2 coils that have died within 3 days. After digging up some more information on these coils I've found that Aspire has made new coils that fix these issues. Apparently the wick wasn't making proper contact with the coil and was causing all kinds of problems. I went up to my local shop today and picked up one of the new coils. You can tell just by looking at it that's it's definitely different. I can only hope that the 5 pack I purchased are the new ones and not the old ones. With the new coils the vapor production and taste has increased dramatically. If they last me at least 2 weeks I'll be happy. Hopefully this helps people who are discouraged by the coils that come with the tank.

Almost my own experience exactly. Once I got ahold of a decent batch of coils the Nautilus proved its worth and reputation with alacrity.
