The sort answer is no. Coil depends on several factors :

1. What is you pg/vg ratio
The more vg the quicker the coils will gunk up.
2. What is your vaping pattern?
Chain vapers go through coils quicker.
3. The type of tank you are using and how much you want to spend on coils.

I personally gave up wasting money on factory made drop in coils and use rebuilable tank decks.

However in your situation I would go with the eleaf mello 3 its a good all round tank. For general purose use with drop in coils.

The coils that actually shipped with the nautilus mini lasted longer than 2 weeks each. I am using the same liquid, watts, and frequency. I've done a bit of research into making coils last longer using the methods already mentioned and nothing seems to work. I can only conclude its the tank or the coils so I am simply going to switch out both of them. If the problem remains this too is good information since I have more data to go on. At that point I will try the rebuild-able coils. For now, I will grab the first thing that atleast two people recommend :)

Yes, from what I've read that is surely a great way to get out of spending so much on coils, which is really starting to annoy me. But it comes at a cost of more complexity, which for the moment, hopefully I can avoid. I'm fine with spending 15 dollars on coils that will last two months if it makes things easier, but not 75 dollars!

Having had two nautilus tanks in my earler vaping journey and both leaked I certainly would not buy another. The Melo 3 for the cheap price and coil interchangable ability suits me at low wattages. Diffrent strokes for different folks.

My Nautilus never looked.
I just found the mello 3 too warm a vape, I don't totally hate it but the recommended wattages are way off. I tried it at 30 watts an it was still to warm a vape.
I think if I tried it at say 20-25 watts it could be okay, I'm a believer in making something work & this tank is new to me so not giving up just yet!

I think the person that asked the question is using a 40w mod. As I write I am vaping an Ijoy Rďta box mod rates to 200w. If I wound that one to its max it would be way too hot for me. My sweet spot on this is 65W. On the Mello 3 I like it around 25-28 w. I run it on my Vaporesso Target Pro when in the car and never looked for another tank for the Vaporesso. I prefer it to the tank the Vaporesso came with.
