Eleaf 20w or 30w - with Nautilus Mini (UK Member)

[48SWIFT]

Hi guys,

New to the forum, have done a lot of research the past week and after being completely confused by everything at first, I have decided upon a setup I think will be right for me.

I have decided upon an eleaf 20/30w with a nautilus mini tank.

My question really is, would you advise getting the 30w over the 20w, I think it is unlikely I will be sub-ohming? (sorry if that's not the correct term!), so I don't think i'll ever need to make use of the additional wattage, but if the 30w has any improvements over the 20w then for the small increase in price I would just buy it.

I am also aware there seem to be some shady looking versions on ebay/ amazon and am unsure how to know im buying a genuine. Could anyone tell me what to look for and if possible provide me a good site to buy from here in the UK for a good price for both parts?

Thanks for the help in advance,

Liam

30, sorry can't help with a U.K. site to buy from. The 20 isn't bad, that's what I have now, but I'd get the 30 or 50 if I was getting another one. Maybe I should say when I get another one...

Welcome to ECF!

Definitely go with the 30w. Eleaf listened to it's customers and made many improvements.

Hi Liam, There are great improvements from the 20i to the 30i. It is worth the extra. I would get a full size tank though. The mini's only hold 1.8 ml, that's not very much.

Hello and welcome to the forum Liam. Glad to have you here!

I would go for the 30watt vs the 20watt. There were many improvements made to this version vs the 20watt. Stainless steel threading and floating center pin are the ones I most remember.

As for sub-ohming. You may be surprised. There are many new sub-ohm tanks hitting the market that include sub-ohm coils. They give you a dripper type experience in a tank with stock coils. A few of them also offer a rebuildable base should you ever wish to try rebuilding. Some of them even allow you to mouth-to-lung inhale. They give you lots of vapor but sub-ohm coils do require you to lower your nic level and increase your juice budget. If this sounds interesting to you I would look at the iStick 50watt. Twice the battery (4400mah vs 2200mah) and extra watts.

The Eleaf 20w was produced very quickly for the Christmas season and, therefore, has a few blemishes. The 30w version corrected many of those. Yes, the Nautilus was really good to me at the time. I still have a few around.

Good luck and happy vaping!

Wow! Thanks for the quick replies guys and girls!

Sorry to sound a total newbie, which I am, but one thing I haven't looked into is 'drippers'? I have a couple of cheap and nasty £10/15 things that originally I liked the vape type hit, so anything I buy now is likely to be a mega improvement. I guess if I do go with the 30w, I could sub-ohm in the future if I wanted?

Im not a heavy cigarette smoker anyway only 1 or 2 a day if that. I was actually thinking about going for the lowest 3/6 MG and maybe try a zero MG too.

Someone else did say go with the larger Nautilus, I just fear for it looking a bit daft on top of the Eleaf?!

Susan,

Ecigstore - that's open in my other tabs, should I avoid them then :-/

 

[gandymarsh]

Yes, the 30 goes down to .3 ohms. The 20 only goes down to 1 ohm.

Either Nautilus will fit on the iStick but I think the mini looks better.

I have the 30 watt with the nautilus mini. I vape occasionally through the day and I refill the tank once at night. Battery lasts me 2-3 days. It's a great set up.

I have been playing with the idea of getting a tank that I can sub ohm with. But even with the Mini it produces plenty of vapor and taste for my liking.

Hold on. If you are smoking 1 or 2 per day, then even 6mg is WAY TOO MUCH using the latest batteries and tanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but both the iStick 20 or 30 use "mean" wattage settings.
IMO, the first thing to look for in reviews is how well does a product work at it's lowest settings, not it's highest settings.

The iStick 50 has "RMS" wattage settings, so it's a bunch more accurate. Especially at the lower settings.

2 stinks a day nautilus mini well sute you fine watch the nic intake like 0/3 max I was a three pack a day and nautilus worked great for me I quoted this post it has facts in it get a driper if you can so you can try different juice before you put them in your tank in the us a lot of vape shops are glade to let you try some of there juice on a driper saves me money and if I do not care for the taste I did not just mess up a atomizer plus good way to learn the ropes if you will good luck

I just want to correct a mistake I made in this post. I should've said .4 ohms instead of .3, typo.

Get the 20w works great with it
