Better tank for thicker juice?

Hi all, looking for a better tank than my Nautilus Mini for my coffee flavored ejuice. To make a short story long, here goes...

My go to flavor is ECBlends Dragons Cafe, 50/50 in 6 mg. I moved up from an Evod months ago and could never get the Mini to wick correctly. Even thinned it with water which just muted the flavor. Eventually fell off the wagon, only occasionally trying the Evod to no avail. Then heard of the new Nautilus coils with the bigger juice holes, time to jump back on the wagon.

After properly priming and working my wattage up with a new 1.8 ohm coils, i get a real nice tasty draw around 7.6 to 7.8 watts using the biggest air hole. Really good flavor, nice throat hit, and enough cloud for my mtl hits. Enjoying the heck out of it. Then without fail, it starts to GURGLE. Eventually spitting hot juice up thru the drip tip. Usually within an hour or two. I can clear it up by increasing the watts, drawing with the tank upside down, or taking it apart and cleaning. I'm not a heavy vaporer(?), but I've had it. Time to move on with my quest to happier vaping.

So...what in your opinions are better tanks for my thicker coffee flavored juice?

I would consider the Kanger Subtank Mini. It comes with a 1.5 ohm vertical factory coil that is replaceable. It also has a .5 ohm coil and a build deck should you decide to grow into it down the road. I have quite a few of these tanks and I am a mouth to lung vape. The only change I made to the tank was to get a more restrictive inexpensive 510 drip tip like the one on the Nautilus (can't use it , won't fit). Then I use the single medium air hole. I ran the 1.5 ohm vertical coil around 18 watts. It has more vapor than the Nautilus and I feel as if it increased the flavor as well. The Subtank does drink more juice than the Nautilus, so you would have to consider cutting back on the nicotine in your juice.

Good luck.

Definitely need a smaller driptip for mtl on the subtank mini to make it enjoyable...

Best tank Ive found for thick juice is a carto tank.

With a 2 or 3 hole Smoktech carto inside.

The problem with clearomizers, and thats what people are mistakenly calling tanks nowadays, is that the string wicks dont have very much surface area.

Less surface area equals less juice absorbed.

Ive been vaping since 2009 and I have yet to find a clearo that wicks as well or imparts as much flavor as a carto tank.

Try one, you might be very pleasantly surprised.

Kabuki tank, it brings those Nautilus coils alive, not cheap but worth every penny and you save money if you have a lot of coils already. So much more flavor too, yes, from the same coil..fantastic tank, the quality is 10 times better than the Nautilus too and you get a lifetime warranty (made in the USA)

Fully recommend one, def no gurgling from this beauty.

Just to add, I have vaped 80VG 20PG in this tank with the newer Nautilus coils without problems.

Unless you want to start rebuilding, I can't recommend a better tank. I have found that my Nautilus floods when I draw on it too hard. As odd as it sounds, it happens more often on the largest airflow setting. Try drawing a lil slower and longer on it. If you do want to start building, +1 on a Kayfun, but not the V4 for your 1st RBA. Too many parts. I would start with a Kayfun lite. It's super simple.
