Competitors to Naut Mini?

[willho01]

Hi Guys,

So I'm fully aware of the Atlantis Subtank and Delta II all competing for the same part of the market.

My question is, what competes with the naut mini and which would you choose?

I always hear people recommend the mini and istick to new vapers. I guess I'm just wondering what makes it the go to recommendation.

Thanks.

SILO Lite..takes regular BVC coils, not the Nautilus coils

Eleaf GS Air..1.5ohm coils look identical to the eGrip coils

eGo One 2.5mil,,,available in .5 and 1ohm (i think)

Kanger Subtank NANO and Mini .5 and 1.2ohm

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 know the regular Nautilus is press fitted, but does this also apply to the minis? It was kind of annoying, but then again, I have dropped the Nautilus on several occasions and it might have been saved due to the press fitting as that is where the unit gave EVERY time. It was pretty easy to press fit back in, so to speak.

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.

The SILO Lite is an excellent tank but it doesn't have air control. For me this isn't an issue because I think it draws perfectly. I'd say it's right on par with the mini as far as vapor production goes, maybe a slight edge on flavor.

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!!

Can't speak for the nautilus mini, but regular nautilus gave me dry hits and had trouble with flooding. I have heard the minis don't have the trouble with flooding, though.

After 3 months of vaping a pair of N minis (8 watts) is what I go to relaxing at home and at my bench at work. The gaskets that make untightening difficult loosen up eventually. Buying replacement coils is geting old so may be someday I'll be rebuilding.

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

I've been using my mini on my iStick 30 and love it. the taste of the e-juice is very good and the vapor is great. I have the 1.8 ohm heads and vape at about 5 volts and it has been working great. I do have the same problems others have stated here about getting the base off but I just use a damp wash clothe and it comes off pretty easy.
