So I've only been getting a few days out these coils, while others are getting weeks. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I use good quality juice, mostly 50/50. I'm vaping at around 26 watts on a Hanna clone. After a few days they get very gunky and pieces of charred juice come up into the mouth piece. The vapor production decreases as well, but the biggest problem is the decrease in flavor. After two days of use I have two coils that are extremely muted in flavor. I have a peach in one and a creme brûlée in the other and you can barely taste any difference. In the first day of useeverything is extremely flavorful( almost too good because the juices are so sweet). The brands of Juice range from nicoticket/itc/jimmy the Juiceman and are 6 mg. I chain vape during the day, but then go for long periods of time without vaping. I've tried to wash the coils in warm water but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running out of money =(

Its likely your juice. Some juices, depending on flavorings or additives like sweeteners, sour, etc. will just clog up more than others. Generally speaking, dark juices (coffees, chocolates) just clog the snot out of tanks frighteningly fast and clearer juices tend to produce much less residue.
yeah, i found most of the times the juice gunks up the coils and/or im burning up faster than it can wick and just burning cotton. Once all that gunk is built up and cotton is burnt, you will just get eliquid flying up your mouth and thats when you know the coil is dead.
I don't understand why my good quality juices would fry my coils when others are getting such a different outcome. I've tried multiple brands. All of nicoticket is clear and they're doing it as well.
You answered your own question,,, sweet flavors, doesn't matter who makes them.
Sweet or colored or dark, any of the three will gunk coils and clog wicking material rapidly.
Are you using authentic Aspire Atlantis heads, verified by checking the scratch off security code on their site?

How would I got about finding juices that don't have a heavy sweetner used? They're mostly fruity vapes and a few desert. I stay away from tobacc as I only quit smoking four months ago. The only reason I'm so dead set on retrying to get this to work properly is that I don't want to go back to cigarettes, and I've outgrown the nautilus tank and functionality.
As for the coils, they look legit in the black box with scratch off code on the back. I haven't actually entered the codes. I've gone through 3 boxes from two different stores, so I doubt that it's the issue. I wish it was because it would be an easy fix.

By going to a vape shop and sampling flavors until you find something you like that isn't sweet. It's not that they add sweeteners many flavors are sweet, most if not all fruit & bakery flavorings are considered sweet as far as the coil & wicking material goes. If it tastes sweet / too sweet to you it is too sweet for long head life.
You'll have to actually enter the numbers if you want to know if they're legit, looks won't tell you one way or the other.
What have you outgrown about the nautilus that seems to be working for you, have your tried upping the power (W) and experimented with all the air flow settings?

The nautilus doesn't provide enough vapor production and I have a hard time tasting anything. I've tried to up the watts but can only vape at around 13 watts with them I get dry/burnt hits. I'm not interested in building coils, and I've tried the kanger tanks and didn't see a difference. I love the Atlantis the first two days of a new coil. Great flavor, great vapor production. The problem is it only lasts two days.
Have you experimented with the air flow settings?
Could be vapors tongue from chain vaping strong sweet flavors.
Even if you have to change the head every 2 days it is still cheaper than buying 2 days worth of cigarettes.
5 pack of Atlantis heads is around $16, Nautilus +/- $12 and will last you 10 days if you change them that often. Don't give up.

It's def not vapors tongue. I went through that after quitting initially. I've tried different air holes but the nautilus just doesn't make enough vapor, especially now that I'm used to the Atlantis. I changed the coil and my juice tastes awesome. In three days I'll be angry again =(

Have you saturated your coil and prime the tank before firing the first time? If not, you could be hurting the life of your coils.

I prime/saturate the coil and take a couple primer puffs before vaping with a new coil. My flavors range from very sweet to mildly sweet and are mostly clear.
I get about a week out of the coils before I change them, using the Vapor Shark 40 all day long in intervals, but frequently. I use Mt Pocono Vapes juice. The Atlantis coils seem to work well with sweet flavors.
I've had mixed results too. If I get a week, I consider that a success. Lately, when putting in a new coil, I'll drop 4-5 drops into the top of the coil and then gently blow into the top hole. I repeat that process until I see juice oozing out of each of the 4 feed holes.
Which coils are you using for your Nautilus? The older BDC coils or the newer BVC coils? I've had a tremendous amount of luck with the BVCs -- great flavor and more than adequate vapor production.
I totally understand about the Nautilus not being enough after using the Atlantis. I've been getting about a week or so per coil give or take some and all of my flavors are sweet.
