Get one or 3 more if you can, that way you won't have to refill as much. :) This is why I love the nautilus' and I got 4 of them because I am soooooo sick and tired of fiddling with everything. I just want to pick it up and go! :laugh::vapor:

Yeah, If it hadn't been for that 50% off sale, I probably wouldn't have tried it. I think it was $3!
I bought a similar tank from my B&M a couple of years ago and it had a nasty taste to it that never went away.:confused:

3 dollars??? Oh my!
BTW, these are Nautilus 'mini's' I'm talking about. If you have the large version- yes, my Nephew saw one of my mini's over Christmas and he really liked it. He said he is tired of filling it and we both didn't like the fact that there is no window to see your juice level. :) He never mentioned any leaks though.

No, I was talking about the Evod glass.

Kanger is preparing to release 22mm & 18mm versions of the SubTank; I think the "Mini" & "Nano". This was inevitable after they ditched the BPDC and went with the OCC for the SubTank.

With a choice of 0.5Ω or 1.2Ω factory heads and the RBA head, they may be great for the 20-50W iSticks. Capacities are still unknown.

Wow !! That would be the same size as a ProTank 2 ??

Well, still no tracking info is available for my istick. That's ok though cause I got it yesterday. Found it in the box this morning. Shipped Monday and got here Wednesday. I have tested it on a few toppers to see how it performs. It seems to burn at anything over 10 watts except for an iClear X.l, as I expected. Tanks won't sit quite flush on it but the adapter does. Here's what I found so far
Rose 1.3 ohm single coil- fires 7 to 20w won't wick fast enough over about 11 to keep up
Joyetech 1.5 510 atty- fires 7 to 20w best below 10
iClear X.l 2 ohms- best below 10
Kanger T3S 2.5 ohm- best below 8

These are my preferences with the particular juice and coils/wicks I have in these. I haven't taken the time to find the best settings for the different devices but I don't understand why some say that adjusting at lower settings has little effect. I found a sweet spot at 6.3 for an apple that was in one of my wife's Kangers. I like the .1 increment adjustment for fine tuning. It's small and easy to use. I don't see any problem with the threads especially using the adapter. Screw up the adapter, replace it. I think she will just be using the iClears on it for now with the adapter and beauty ring so I don't foresee a major thread issue from swappin out different tanks. She usually only removes a tank to fill it and that's it. She has the same 2 Kanger tanks I gave her a year ago with the same coils. They never leaked, gurgled, flooded, nothing. I had 3 from the same batch and had all of the above. If using means means longer battery life then by all means keep it. I don't know if that's the case but I still have no problem with it. It's easy to adjust to it. The best thing about it is the high performance without the bulk. I haven't thoroughly tested it but I've seen enough to decide to give it to my wife and she absolutely loves it! I'm placin a preorder on the 30w for myself ( as soon as I can find that link) and will (maybe) wait to see how the 50 performs before considering it. It is definitely a nice upgrade from her VV3. Maybe she will get her nic fix now because she has a habit of just puffin on her VV3 and egos like a cig. She gets a much better draw with it. I'm more than happy and I agree you can't beat it for the price. Thumbs down on P Busardo

Exactly. Originally, Kanger made the BPDC heads in the SubTank compatible with all their BDC clearomizers >14mm in diameter. That cross-compatibility was lost when they decided to go with the OCC heads. Kanger got slapped by Aspire so hard, they really wanted to put a head out on the market for their existing clearos that would compete with the BVCs in the Nautilus. Unfortunately, we have to purchase new clearos for that functionality now... or rebuild our own BDC heads. ;)

I ain't sayin I LOVE it, but I wish I had bought 2 :) I just realized that I'm vapin it left handed. That's a first. Now I don't have to put it down to use the mouse. Even typin with it in my hand. I like vapin left handed. It's doin justice to this Rose. Bride of Bikenstein is in the other room right now, she thinks it's still on the charger.

Add me to that list. Love it enough I ordered a second.
All the power and battery life I need for my Russian. Even if it looks a little goofy sitting up there.

Above all else it's the form factor for me. I've got an MVP and it just feels huge now. "Bride of Bikenstein" --you DO have a sense of humor-- now give the iStick back to her
