Can Joyetech EGO one replace my iStick30+NautilusMini ?

[canzz]

Stopped by this thread because I've been thinking of getting one of these myself and I use the same gear you have.

If you like the way your Naut Mini hits when it is at 4.2v, i would consider the ego one as a backup or around town device. Soon after I started vaping (six weeks ago) with an Aspire CF Sub O, (which is also a constant 4.2v, like the ego one) an Atlantus and a nautilus mini, I picked up an iStick 10 from a B&M shop in town as a backup. (By the way everyone, if you're in NYC, go to one of the few dedicated Vape shops around - the head shop/ smoke shops are ripoffs). It is a device that is almost great. I dig the size and form factor and I understand that battery won't last all day. I've got a naut mini on it right now as I type away. I then ordered the iStick 30w as a way to push the Naut Mini as well as dial back the Atlantis, which was too much for me at the time.

One thing I've noticed as I adjust to vaping is that my tastes and needs have shifted. At first, sub-ohmming was way too crazy for me until I learned to not suck on it like a cigarette on a cold day. Then I was rocking it for a while (so I bought a SubTank Mini to avoid Aspire coils and start playing with rebuilding). This past week, I've been all over the naut mini and brought the little 10w back into rotation. I mention all of this because even though a .5 coil at 4.2v (which is somewhere in the lower 30s for wattage, I think) does not sound like your cup of tea today, you may want to explore it sometime soon. Until then, you've got a nice little battery (you said that small form was important). You might find that the atomizer that comes with it finds new life on your iStick with either the .5 or the 1.0 coil. Even if it isn't your go-to rig, it's always nice to have a backup as you're getting off cigs.

Two other options for small rigs (I'm sure there are more):
-the iStick 10. It might not get you enough throat hit, the threads are brass instead of SS, and the circuitry is B-grade, but it's small and light and cheap (about 2 or three days of smoking sort of cheap). If your current iStick and Naut Mini satisfy at 10w, then this might work.
-the ego eGrip. 20w variable, built in tank. Pretty good reviews (with a few issues, of courses).

Good luck and please post what you end up getting and how it worked out for you. I'm looking for a good pocket vape setup.

I couldnt hold myself any longer and bought a EGOone today.

I have been using for couple hours now. My experience so far:

- Amazing size
- Flavour is much better in EGOone
- Since throat hit is what I seek I didnt even open the .5 coil
- Even with 1.0ohm coil with tight draw its 40-50% less throat hit compared to iStick30+NautliusMini (13W - 1.8ohm - smallest airflow). Not to mention the EGOone's battery is nearly-full and throat hit is going to decrease gradually...

So the answer for this threads question is NO...
NautliusMini is just perfect. I just need to find a smaller battery that can go up to 13-14W

That's that then, but is 2 hours enough time to properly learn and handle a new device?
Seems you are pretty quick on the draw.
Haven't even tried the 0.5 ohm coil yet, right?

Your right, your thread, as you stated in post #6 however you could
1. use higher pg. or 2. use a higher nic.

Whatever floats your boat, Cheers.

Isn't 0.5ohm is for direct lung hits? Also istick30 lasts exactly 2 full days for me with nautilusmini, since this has half the battery 0.5ohm will not last a day. Thats another reason I havent tried.
My juice is already 70PG Nic is already 12 I dont know if I should increase

Here's a pic of the Ego One with the Nautilus Mini tank. Awesome little setup. With the 1.6 ohm coil, it pushes out over 11 watts and vapes pretty damn well! Everything is flush on the sides and the tank sits absolutely flush to the battery. The tank and battery stainless steel colors actually DO match perfectly, just something wonky with the lighting in the picture... or my mediocre phone camera. With the stock drip tip, this kit is about 120mm, top to bottom.

 

[Jan Graskewicz]

Not sure if I'd play around with higher nic levels with the Ego One or any other Sub tank. The way that they work ends up producing thick, dense vapor and the nicotine hits MUCH harder. My experience with the several subohm tanks I have is that approximately 6mg in a sub tank is equivalent to about 18mg from a non sub ohm tank. It's really that extreme of a difference. I tried vaping 12mg off of the Ego One and started feeling nic sick within about 15 minutes. Even more quickly with the Subtank Nano. Don't hike that nic level to get a throat hit. You might get sick.

That said, the Nautilus Mini will push PLENTY of throat hit from the Ego One. I personally can't mouth to lung from the tightest hole. It's just a bit much for me. Put the Nautilus Mini on the Ego One battery and I think you'll be very happy. And at 1.6 or 1.8 ohms (whatever your coils of choice are), the battery will last MUCH longer than with the Ego One at 0.5 ohms or even at 1.0 ohms. Just basic electricity theory, there.

Give her a shot with just the battery. If not satisfied, you can always purchase the tank later.

Just got the ego 1, need much lower nic levels. My 16 mg on the mvp2 and Aero tank made me sick on the ego 1. My vape shop mixed up a level 12mg for the 1.0 coil at 50/50 pg/vg juice and for the .5 coil a 6mg at 100% vg. Juices still steeping so I haven't tried them yet.

I vape MentholTobacco from FC (70PG) 12nic on my NautilusMini+iStick30. I tried 18mg on EGO today, It has slightly stronger throat hit compared to 12 but it makes my throat feels scratchy/weird. I Dont steep any juice though do you think it might solve the issue ?

I personally think 18 is way too high for the ego1. I did 16 and it made me sick. Using 12 now with 50/50 ph/vg on the 1.0 coil and 6 mg at 100% vg on th.5 coil. Working fine but I may go to 10mg from the 12 mg. higher nic always makes my throat scratchy.
Always steep my juice in hot water three or four times with a good shake In between. But my vape shop mixes juice for me. Where you buy yours may have sat for awhile. Wouldn't hurt. Some flavors I use the hot water then leave the bottle sit in the cabinet for a couple of weeks. Brings out the flavors. Especially the vanilla or custards and my double chocolate.

yes it feels like 18 is too much. I guess ego is not really for me...

Give yourself sometime. There is no hurry for anything.

Dont do it... Nothing beats this bad boy IMO

EgoONe didnt work for me. Its small and cool but has many flaws.
- It gives far less throat hit (great taste though)
- Button is wide open, so easy to press. It gets accidentally pressed in your pocket. (I was looking where that gurgling sound is coming from during shopping. I was even wearing pretty loose) You need to poweroff then put it.
- Battery is enough for a day for me which is fine. But its already weak and it gets even weaker after 50%. With iStick, stable 15W for more than 2 days.
- Its pretty hard to see how much juice left in the tank.
- You can feel the quality of both iStick and Nautilus is better than Ego.
- Its small but its not convenient in hand as iStick. You know how comfy is holding iStick

So, dont do it

It's interesting that this thread sprang back to life today. I have both the eGo ONE package with the CLR coils and the iStick 30W + Nautilus Mini. There's no doubt that when the eGo ONE is working "correctly," it puts out copious amounts of vapor. But, for me there is more to this question than just quantity of vapor. Convenience when I'm out and about, or at work, is a big factor for me. Simplicity of refilling the tank on the go is also a factor. Certainly, reliability is a huge issue, too.

For example, I can refill my Nauti outdoors, away from my bench, without getting any liquid on my hands or clothes. With the ONE tank, it's always a challenge with the coil getting stuck in the chimney and the narrow space for pouring the liquid into the tank. With the Nauti, the performance is pretty much always the same, and if it gurgles, it's easily remedied on the fly. With the ONE, I was doing a complicated dance between overly wet vapor, as well as some leaking out the AFC, and slightly burnt hits.

I love the way the eGo ONE looks and feels in my hand, and I love the tube form factor and the size of the eGo ONE. Further, the eGo ONE is fun to tinker with--I like to fiddle with coiling and wicking, and the CLR coils are made for customizing. But for reliable daily vaping, especially away from home, I keep coming back to my iStick 30W + Nautilus Mini, it just works.

If you can only choose one package, and you need a reliable vape to stay off the cigs, then I recommend going with the iStick 30W + Nautilus Mini. If you want to tinker around and learn about coils and wicks, then add the eGo ONE package to your line up.

Well said.

When I first noticed this thread, I thought that it was the wrong question. The two devices are so different that you can't even compare them.

I own a 1100mah Ego One with the small tank. I also own several iStick 20w and a couple of Nautilus minis.

The Ego One is very cool and the performance is great when it has a good charge. It's has a lot in common with a mech mod. Kinda like a sports car.

The iStick is simple, reliable and versatile. Kinda like my Honda Fit.

 

[Rabbit Slayer]

Well at least now you have a backup device to toot on while you're recharging the istick

 

[Markill]

You mentioned you like to vape around 15w. AS long as you're using a 1 ohm coil, at a full charge, you'll be vaping at slightly over that. as the charge in your battery goes down, the wattage will decrease, but not by much, because by the time you'd notice a large difference, the battery would stop working due to low voltage protection. IF you use the .5 ohm coil....don't. you'd be vaping at 30w.

 

[mymacy]

yeah seems like nautilus mini with istick 30w is right now the ultimate combo for mouth to lung hitters who want a small device..

 

[nancybout]

I like regulated mods and thought the ego one was a regulated mod ?? I just wonder if it powers up enough for the atty

Another option is the new istick mini. Eleaf made a 20 watt mini istick that pushes up to 5.5 volts. The Nautilus Mini will pretty much thrive on that voltage.

It powers like a Mech mod. 4.2v and dropping, I think.
Not enough for Mini Nautilus i.m.o. but plenty for subtanks etc.

Yep. More or less a tiny, packaged mech mod... without a removable battery. Hits hard as a freight train on lower resistance coils, but not really optimal for higher resistance coils. That said, with a full charge, it pushes just over 11 watts to the 1.6 ohm Nautilus coils. Not really pushing it to its limits, but much more than enough for a satisfying vape with tons of vapor and flavor. For the Nautilus or any tanks like it with mid 1 ohm range coils (GS Air M and MS for example) the new 20w istick mini is a better stealth mod and can nearly double the Ego One's wattage output. Below 1 ohm, the Ego One wins out, performance-wise and produces more wattage.
