I really like my nautilus and, thanks to ECF, I've learned how to clear the dreaded gurgle. Is there a way to avoid it happening, though? That is, is there something I can do (or not do) to reduce how often I have to clear it?

When you inhale, take a long smooth draw vs a short sharp draw. This will prevent extra eliquid from being pulled into your coils and flooding it. Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette
Whenever you first sense that your atomizer is beginning to flood try this:
1. Open up the airflow so when you take a hit you are not pulling in as much juice into your coils.
2. Raise your voltage or wattage if your battery allows you to do this. This will vaporize more eliquid.
3. Tip your battery up (and take a few hits). By tipping it up you will prevent more eliquid from being fed into the coils.
Give one or all of these a try.

What wattage range are you using with your Nautilus?
In my experience the only times I've run into gurgling is when trying to run the tank at too low of a wattage. 7-9W and gurgling is a constant problem. 11-15W and it never gurgles.

Great tips, thanks!
That could be it. I'm right around 8 watts. Being new to this, I've been trying to follow some of the charts that give "ideal" settings, but I'm going to try cranking her up to see if that's the problem. I should be old enough to know that "ideal" rarely is
A lot depends on the liquid, mine is 70/30 to 50/50 pg/vg at 18 mg Nic. I like the flavor of my NETs better at 8W (3.8 to 4v on 1.8 to 1.9 coils than the higher watts. Slower smooth draws helps minimize gurgling.That could be it. I'm right around 8 watts.

If you can't resolve it and it drives you insane, try a Kanger Subtank Mini. I got one after I got tired of the gurgling of my Nautilus and never looked back. And I don't recall hearing complaints about gurgling like I do with the Nautilus.
When refilling the nautilus have the airflow closed. Don't over tighten anything. After filling open it up to the smallest airflow and take a couple of vapes without firing then leave it for a couple of minutes then vape away.
keep the power to where its vaping the liquid in the wick but not burning it.

I've had no problems vaping a 60VG/40PG vanilla juice in my Nautilus at 15W. I can go higher with a clear juice like my peppermint without any burnt hits. I wouldn't go any higher than 60% VG in the Nautilus though.
With using 60VG/40PG juices at 15W I've been able to run through 120-150ml of juice on a single coil on average. I've only had one coil that I've had to replace sooner than 120ml. That's about 5ml per day for a month on average.
This is true, actually. I've never had a gurgle with any size of subtank.
t.b.h. I don't get full-scale gurgling with mini Nautilus either - well nothing more than an inclination to gurgle and then I blast it with higher power for a few puffs.
That's pretty amazing coil life. What liquid are you using? Vaping NETs I get 2-3 days on a coil but my tolerance for any slight burnt taste is low. I go 8 W and highest I've been is 9 on these new cotton coils are you using those?
What pg/vg ratio and power are you vaping at and what coils? I've read complaints about the subtank mini gurgling unless you use higher vg juice.
70% VG or higher. Mostly 20-25W on various RBA decks (new, old stock, old modified with larger juice channels).
So perhaps it's a problem with high PG.
I think so, a problem with all the newer tanks I've tried so far seems they are designed for high vg that most people are using now.
