Disappointed with Nautilus Mini

[Shortfuz]

I recently got a Nautilus Mini, and am pretty disappointed... I have been using original EVOD tanks (single coil, not glass) and was hoping to find something that vaped like the EVOD but with a larger capacity.
I can't find a sweet spot with the nautilus airflow, it goes through juice much faster, and burns through my battery much more quickly as well...
Am I out of luck? Are my expectations of finding a tank that's exactly like the EVOD in every way except for higher capacity set too high?
FYI I use 2.2 ohm single coils at 3.3 volts on a mini Istick 10w.

I have too many to count. They are my go to non sub tank and they work fine. Have you tried them on anything more powerful?

What coil are you using on the Nautilus, the BDC or the BVC. The former is a dual coil so will run through juice quicker, I prefer the BVC (single vertical coil), which works quite well. I nearly threw my tank tank away when I first used it as it wasn't working well and flavour was terrible, but I swapped the first coil with a new one and it's been working really well since.

The Nautilus Mini? I've cranked the power on the Istick, which did result in better flavor, but with the side effect of going through liquid and battery at an even higher rate. The airflow still left me wishing it was more like my EVOD.

1.8 ohm BVC - the new 100% cotton ones.

Give it a go with a new coil and a different juice if you haven't already and try it for a few days. If you still don't like it and want something like an EVOD with larger capacity then you can get a ProTank II.

Welcome to ECF Shortfuz!
I have zero experience with Evod tanks, so I'll skip any comparisons.

Considering the tradeoffs of flavor, juice consumption, battery life, coil life, and overall ease of use, I've found it pretty hard to beat the Nautilus. It's absolutely my go-to tank for work and play, and it's tough enough to stand up to both my work and play environments. ;-)
I hit it pretty hard all day long and it's only about 3 ml/day and two days of run-time on a 2650 mAh battery. I haven't found anything else that even comes close to that.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. You made an unusual 'next move'. The mini Nautilus is about 5* stages downstream from the EVOD clearos, most of us arrived at using them after trying out Protanks and iClears and iSmokas (Eleaf) and probably two more*.
If you want an EVOD type vape, then vape an EVOD. Nobody will think that's weird, we are all different.
You can keep it for future use or when you have blown $300 on trying all the tanks in between. I know this sounds like a lecture, but it'd be nice to NOT see people try every tank on the market. For many the BVC Nautilus is THE plug and play device. Sure, it's more thirsty the basic Kanger stuff, but it gets twice as many miles per ml of fuel than a Subtank Nano, for example.
I went from about <2ml a day in basic clearos to 3ml+ in mini Nautilus. Well worth the extra juice. Then I dropped down to about 2ml again, then discovered subtank, so back up to about 4ml!! RBAs RTAs use lots of juice, but I don't take these to work.

Shorty, bump up the Volts to at least 3.7 and see what happens.

I have two 650s and a 900 (that is very used) and a couple of the itty bitty 650s. Only the very used 900 is a spinner. What I Think I have noticed is that my juices vape and taste a bit better say the first 20 minutes I vape on a battery after recharging, not chain vaping. I think that 3.7ish volts IS a sweet spot and once (IMO again) the voltage drops to even 3.4 the quality of vape is noticeably not as good.

At this minute I am vaping an Evod tank on an iS 30, 2.2 ohm, 3.8 v (a Blistering 6.5 w!) and it's just fine. Not even starting to get warm yet.

I not sure you're getting a full vaporization at 3.3 volts.

PS; My coils are also rewicked with much larger Silica and the Evods are Turbo'd with 1 hole drilled out.

Miles per ml...hehehe, Also smiles per ml. A very important consideration on the road to vaping happiness.
Find your own groove and you've got it right. Chase after someone else's groove and you'll probably be disappointed.

I have two, air flow socks, 1.6 ohm carts burn out in an hour ( to small of holes, don't wik right), 1.8 work better but still burn up in day or so,and I use them on my provari 3, I don't have any problems with rda's or my kangar tank mini rebuildable, used dremial with cutoff wheel to open up ( just a little) wicking holes.

What are air flow socks?

Maybe look at the Evod Mega:
Kanger EVOD Mega Kit 1900mah
You can get the tank by itself or in a kit.
