Hello everyone! I started vaping when the first cig-a-likes came out. I followed the tech back then and eventually the aspire nautilus came out. It was generally considered one of the best at the time (10 years ago). I tried it, loved it, and have stuck with it ever since. I do occasionally smoke still, but mostly I vape.
I want to change to DTL (or possibly RTL). I’ve tried friends occasionally and loved that way of doing it. I have absolutely no idea what to get though, tech has moved on and I’m totally out of date and lost! Please help! The batteries really confuse me - there’s a box with batteries in that you have to take out to charge? The coils are now made of mesh? There are rebuildable tanks now? I need a handhold of every specific thing I need to buy for a complete new, decent DTL or possibly RTL (not sure which) set up.
My requirements - the first two are non-negotiable, the rest in rough order of priority:
It can’t leak - it lives in my handbag so is often on its side when not in use.
I am very clumsy and I drop it a lot. My nautilus has a tank with a sort of metal shield thing round it which has hugely reduced broken glass. I need something which has a similar metal/protective surround to the tank or it will get dropped and smash.
I need to be able to charge it overnight by plugging in to a usb cable, not by taking the batteries out (this could be standard anyway, I can’t work it out!).
I like a really airy, loose vape. I don’t like to have to draw hard on it at all. I like it cool and I’m not that interested in throat hit. I just like smooth flavour! I’m happy with either 0 or 3mg nicotine in MTL vaping depending on my mood.
I am not interested in clouds at all, just flavour. Less clouds/more subtle is better, but that’s not a deal breaker.
I’m a bit unsure about rebuilding, I don’t have vast amounts of either time or opportunities to learn as I have small kids that I’m with all day who I prefer not to see all the bits and bobs, and I’m also prone to smoke if my vape goes even slightly wrong which I want to avoid. I like things to be consistent, simple and to just work, so I don’t know if the learning curve is a sensible idea. I love the nautilus because it just works, it never leaks, nothing breaks - it’s so reliable, simple and consistent. I want a DTL/RTL version of that.
I’m in the UK so something readily available here.
I’d like to be able to change the mouthpiece but it’s not at all a priority, just a nice extra.
I don’t know if it matters in terms of kit but I’m really limited on flavours I use, as most make me feel sick when I vape them even if they smell amazing (gutted as I’d love to have all the dessert type ones!). I can use simple fruit and floral flavours, so only really vape clear juices.
Thank you so much for any help!
