Kanger Aerotank and Nautilus Mini are said to have very comparable tastes, but the nautilus has vertical coils that people think work better. Some people don't like how the nautilus is press fit, and think it leaks more easily. The Nautilus coils are also more expensive I think, but only slightly.

Not too familiar with the new stuff. I still use the mini protank and rebuild the coils.

I love my Nautilus mini flavor output, BUT refilling is a pain on the fingers......my hands are soooooo sore from removing the base. I would love to figure out a way to make it remove easier.....NOT USING RUBBERBANDS on the glass.
I just use a piece of kitchen roll to help me grip the base. Never had any issues.

My friend uses plyers with his nautilus. Sometimes I have the issue removing the base on my protanks and kayfuns. It's damn near impossible if you get it wet.

But these gloves are the best $3 I've ever spent. Glad I bought an extra pair to not use with the car. Looks like they're more expensive now though, but any mechanics gloves should work great. They're basically designed to grip so well that you can turn things that are covered in oil. They sell similar gloves at Wal Mart and Home Depot.

I had this same problem with my mini until I realized I was tightening it too much. Now I just barely tighten it, just to where I get resistance. Or I will tighten normal then back out ever so slightly. Keeping it finger tight has made it much easier to disassemble. No more sore fingers!!

Just don't tighten it that hard..that's what I figured out. the seal is very good on the mini, so it doesn't take torquing it down. Firm it up, then back it off a 1/10th of a turn. Just enought so that it isn't torqued down. Makes it much easier to remove next time.

if u tighten it down where it physically cannot turn any more then u have officially overtightened it and it will be a pita to unscrew it after vaping it for awhile, if u have not vaped it yet then its quite easy to back it off, back it off about 1/2 a turn.

when screwing it on initially there is little friction, when u start feeling resistance (at about 6 full turns) turn it another 1/4 turn.
if its still hard to unscrew then u still overtightened it, takes a bit of feel and practice but mine unscrews really easily and w/out any leaks while using it
