I own two full-sized Nautiluses and still have a few BDC coils, aside from the newer BVC's.
It's an excellent clearomizer, one whisker away from being the best, in my book. Rebuildables not included, OK?
The main difference between BDC and BVC is that the BVCs tend to last way longer and to give a slightly better flavor. But their performances are heavily juice-dependent and battery-dependent. One freshly and fully filled Nautilus will taste and perform differently on different batteries or mods.
In my obviously subjective opinion, it held up pretty well and it's still a good buy.
Tips? Prime the coils before use and let them soak a good minimum ten minutes. After filling and screwing everything in place, let it sit that way some more. Start from the largest hole and work your way down (if you so choose). Try not to burn the coil with high wattage or voltage - you'll ruin your experience. BDC coils are rebuildable! (rather tough, but perfectly possible). Clean the tank (minus the coil) thoroughly after 2-3 fills. Don't break the glass (heh), or buy the
SS (or
GSS) tank(s). Also, don't drop it - it's press-fitted and you may lose some important parts if it gets gutted all over.
