So, I'm about 2 months deep in the vaping world and so far, 48 hours of being completely cigarette free. I currently have 3 nautilus (5ml) tanks that operate off of a ZMAX Mini. I use the 1.8 BVC coils, and vape anywhere from 8-12 watts. I love my mini, but my only gripe is how often I have to change out the battery. I frequently chain vape, so I'm doing good if I get 2 hours out of each battery. I want a new battery but not sure what to go with. I'm debating an MVP, although I would prefer a pen style that takes rechargeable batteries. Also debating getting the full size ZMAX. What batteries do you guys/gals recommend for the Nautilus, and for what reasons? Any input anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you have the money, get the Sigelei 100 Plus, 4x Samsung 25R batteries and Nitecore D2 charger. Youll be able to use subohm tanks or custom built RDA's.

If you are on the budget get an Eleafe iStick.

iTaste MVP 2.0 is decent power brick, but its crappy with power regulation. Only good if you going to use it for 9watts and lower.

So just to clarify, if I got the segelei 100+, and was only using nautilus tanks, then I would not want the wattage over 12 watts? The reason I'm asking is because at this point, I'm only using nautilus tanks and it says the segelei ranges from 10-100 watts. My zmax ranges from 3-15 watts. Wouldn't I want something in a lower wattage range like my zmax? I may decide to upgrade tanks or possibly upgrade to dripping at a later date, but at the moment, I'm content with nautilus tanks. The Segelei does look bad ... tho! What kind of tank would you put on that?

Have a look at the Pioneer4you IPV 2S. Should have plenty of power for your current needs. Also have a look at the IPV Mini which is scheduled to start shipping around 12/24. IPV Mini is 30 watts and uses an external 18650 battery. IPV 2S also uses a single 18650 and is now capable of 70W (I think). My IPV 2S arrived today but I've not had time to fire it up. I plan to use the 2S with the Atlantis, Aerotank V2 and Nautilus Mini.

Aspire b"D"c coils( BDC) are good up to 8 watts.

The Aspire b'V"c (BVC) are good up to 12 watts. You can crank it up to 15 watts, but you will get a nasty burn taste and shorten the life of the coil.

Sigelei does not look bad, because its flexible, you can use it with various types of RDA and RTA set ups. As well as sub omh tanks with sub omh coils such as Aspire Atlantis and Kanger Subtank. Or you have the flexibility to build your own coils.

+1 I have both the MVP2 and the IPV2, and with the nautilus, I'm happy with both. Either will last ALL day and then some, but I also use a RDA on the IPV2. 7-50 watts is a lot of versatility, it charges via USB and a user changeable battery. Mostly I use the MVP at home while the IPV2is charging. I use both the Nautilus and RDA at work. I'd personaly look into something with a DNA chip (USA MADE), at least 30 watts, but USB charging is a must for me. Running the RDA at 15+ watts drains a 18650 pretty quick.
Oh yeah, I think if I only had the Nautilus, I'd stick to the MVP, but I do hit the RDA pretty often too so the IVP2 seemed to fit me better. Just swap attys and settings and toot on.
