I purchased the Silo Lite and using the Aspire BVD coils. So far not a leak or dry hit, but since I never tried the Naughty mini I can't make any comparison. I will admit the quality is excellent and the vape has been great. This is day 3 using it and no change in flavor.The cost only being $15.00 along with a great vape I'll order several more.

Any other Silo Lite uses weigh in.

I am a few days in to my first Silo Lite. The bdc coils are crap but the bvcs are great. No noticeable difference between Nautilus/Mins and these. Airflow is decent (not adjustable except for drilling). The capacity is great for a tank that fits/looks good on a istick. I am replacing my minis with these as soon as a I order a couple more.

Great to read this... I am placing an order today... I really like the look of the silo lite and uie capacity it much better than a nautilus mini which has been a down fall for me personally. I love the big nautilus but it's huge... the silo lite fits right in the middle and hds just the right amount for my day time set up to and from work!!! I'm stoked! Hope it's as good as I've heard! The bvc coils can be found at sweetvapes for $7.95 as opposed to $12.00 at beyond vape. I haven't figured out shipping and all but it seems like a great deal to me. We shall see... :)

While not a great comparison with the Nautilus Mini in my opinion (different coils, no airflow controller = not like the Mini in many ways at all), it looks like a great little tank. I won't be ordering one anytime soon due to the ridiculous shipping, but if I were to order one I'd probably get the full size so that it is compatible with my Nautilus Mini and Full Size Nautilus coils. The Silo Lite takes the Aspire K1 style bvc coils.

I can't comment on the Silo Lite, but I love my regular Silo that takes the Nautilus BVC'. I chose the Silo over the Nautilus because of the looks. I have a Nautilus Mini too (love it also), but I might grab the Silo lite to try it out.

Beyond Vape's regular shipping was expensive, but I ordered a few things and did 2 day express shipping which was just a couple dollars more than their regular shipping and didn't feel too bad. It's hard to justify their shipping charge for just one item. Their coils are more expensive than elsewhere to, but love their tanks.

Beyond Vape uses FedEx shipping which is why it seems so high. I have had no issues with the Silo Lite using the Aspire BVC coils. The airflow although unable to change is just right for me IMO. Sweet Vapes is where I purchase my coils and they arrive two days later and only cost $7.99 per box. For only 15.00 a tank it's worth buying several as shipping is still $8.00.

I am considering ordering two silo lite tanks to justify the shipping cost. Maybe I should grab a lite and a regular... ugh, decisions, lol. I did come across a few other places that carry them but are out of stock at this time :( wish 101vape had em... cloudchaserz has em for $17.99 and lowest shipping almost 6 so ends up more than beyond vapes total with shipping. And I've never ordered from them...

I already checked with Beyond Vape and they assured me the chimney is stainless steel. I'm ordering 2 more tomorrow.

That must be great news for people worried about the Nautilus, but don't have the will power to pass on the BVCs. Of course, the coils may have their own safety issues, but it seems to me that possible lead contamination poses a greater threat (but I'm no scientist!).

Tonight I decided to drill open the airflow for my lite. First I used a 1.9mm bit and it was better but still a little tight for me. I drilled 2.1mm and the airflow is wide open and I love it. You have to be careful with the spring in the bottom of the base when you drill but other than that is was easy. I was able to crank up the wattage and get much more vape out of it.

Good tip for those seeking more air flow.

I would think by now someone would investigate the bvc coils.

Is this easier than drilling out a hole in a rba? I've never drilled anything but wood but could get help from my fiance ...
