It seems they could be connected to Element vape in some way. I clicked on a link for coiling tools, and it took me to an Element vape page with those tools listed.

They're not far from each other, so it's possible. One is in Irvine, and the other is in like El Monte or something like that, so maybe an hour or so apart. I thought the same thing, because I was looking at the iStick Pico Baby, and the link that they had for replacement coils took me to Element Vape too.

Maybe rename this thread the "Bargain Bin Steals" I just hope those of you that ordered all this stuff are Ok with what you got (considering the cheap prices) I think I was the one that first mentioned them... going to be a bunch of people praising me or chasing me off with an ax LOL

Then - Just in case . . .

Great find! Thanks for sharing. I've got 50 kangertech coils and a Stabwood Stentorian Ram that was too good to pass up at that price! I can't wait to see what it looks like.
I ordered 10 packs of the. 5 claptons. Already have a few rbas so great stash tank. Wish I hadn't pif'd my minis now. Pickup up a toptank for nostalgia sake a few months back though.

NCC, I also scored on those nauti-X tanks (and the coils) but I will warn you... the 1.5 ohm coils that come with the tank are not as good as the 1.8 om coils (not sure why they offer both but the 1.8 are much better) Not just that, but the 2 coils that came with the tank seem defective (one floods, the other has clogged airflow... haven't tried the extra 5-packs yet) The tank is fine though. Please don't judge it until you get some 1.8 (authentic) coils... outstanding flavor! Aspire just came out with a new version of that tank (and will definitely continue to offer the 1.8 coils because it uses the same ones)
Oh great! You have no idea how much I hope you're wrong, somehow ...someway. Counting the two coils which ship with each tank, I've got 210 of the 1.5 ohm and 10 of the 1.8 ohm. I'm only tried the preinstalled 1.8 ohm so far.

Placed order yesterday (Sunday). . . I was also having a number of problems at first - took approximately 10 tries to finally get order placed. I won't go into much detail. However, I think the reason was caused by - Privacy Badger. Once I disabled the program, everything moved along. It seems they would not let me check out right away. When I finally got to check out - Found out that they were out of stock for the 2 Ares Tanks I wanted - I could only get one. Once I corrected my order everything - went through. Well except for the Discount code I was using - refused to accept it at first. Contacted Customer service when I got my confirmation email (arrived within a half hour) to let them know I was having problems. They replied a couple of hours later (Supposedly they are only open M-F 8 AM - ? ? ? PMT so I in't expect them to reply so quickly) - "Mohamama" apologized for the problems and refunded the money back to my CC. . . . . :D :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

BTW: List in the flash box on their Website main page . . . Discount Codes - 1) "10OFF'" (don't know how much Ya have spend or what it is good on) and/or 2) "FreeShipping' when you spend $75.00 . . . :thumbs:


.
Thank you @Uncle
So I was finally able to order using my phone vs tablet and with different browser! When I went to check out that age verification thing (my first time) came up wanting last four of social or photo ID, I did the panic thing, lol Anyway, order went through, received confirmation and two emails telling me to try again since I emailed twice asking if site was down....so now a "wait and see" what happens :)

I think both of the coils that come with the tank are 1.5 ohm. Doesn't matter, if you like the tank, the 1.8 ohm are way better.

"The Nautilus X is an adjustable TOP airflow device. Yes, you read right! The revolutionary Aspire U-Tech coil allows fresh air in through an intake port atop the head, through a dual coiled, u-shaped channel that reaches down to the bottom of the atomizer, and then back up again directly to a sealed top portion. Available in 1.5 ohm (2 included) and 1.8 ohm resistances, Aspire’s new U-Tech coils are completely optimized for tasty mouth-to-lung hits."

So, I've go 220 of the coils you do not recommend. Hey, at the price I paid it'll be fine with me if they are relegated to backup status after the newness wears off. But they're not terrible by any means.

I checked one of the Nautilus X Coil packages on the aspirecig site and it cleared. When I tried to scratch off one of the Nautilus X Tank's code I may have gotten a bit too hasty and cleared whatever type there may have been. But, I've been using that tank for a couple days off & on.
Glad to know the coils cleared the authentic test...I have 200 of them.

Thank you for checking!! I will sleep better tonight. I ordered 300 Kanger coils :)

Found out that they were out of stock for the 2 Ares Tanks I wanted - I could only get one.

Discount Codes - 1) "10OFF'" (don't know how much Ya have spend or what it is good on) and/or 2) "FreeShipping' when you spend $75.00

I entered 999 in the qty for the Ares and tried to add to cart and it responded back saying 14 so perhaps they re-did their inventory and updated the system or the system is wrong. I was able to get to the point of even paying for 14 of them. Their page is not saying they are sold out either. You may want to call them or email them to see if you can get more of them. You may want to ask them if they are the kit - with extra glass, o-rings, 2 coils and some wire to make your own, cotton and 2 build tools with screw driver - this would indicate they are not likely clones.

Thanks for posting the codes. I totally didn't see them on their site!!

Letitia, Kanger Wholesale has subtank minis on clearance for $5. I added a few of them to my stash.
