a lower resistance coil can be used at higher watts.
id sudjest a 1.5ohm coil if using an istick - as you can hit the full 20W range.
the 1.8 may use a thinner gauge wire that heats up quickly causing it to "synge" certain areas of the wick causing dry hits.

I'm using a naughty mini with 1.8ohm coils. I have found it nice around 12.5w (4.7v) maybe 15w (5.1v)with some juice.
I could be wrong but i seam to remember reading that the istick can put out more power than the screen says. I'm sure more experienced people may pop in with views on this.
If i was you i would stick at the 4.6v setting or maybe try a pack of the 1.6 ohm coils see if that's any better for you.

Exactly right my egg, flour and milk based savory baked good friend.
The iStick is overpowered and will be delivering much more voltage and / or wattage than is displayed on the screen. For an equivalency chart go to this thread
Add to that, the method of priming the coils, the draw technique and even the exact batch of coils you have will all make a difference to your experience compared to others. I can barely vape my Nautilus at 11 watts on my iStick as well - it doesn't bother me that much as the vape is decent.
I wouldn't worry about it, there are so many variables with vaping, just try to find a vape that works for you.
If you are adamant about getting more out of the Nautilus, there are ways, but it might mean drilling the air holes or other such drastic measures.
OP, why do you want to go beyond 4.6V? Are you finding the flavour or vapour lacking in some way?
I do find that there is a break-in period with these coils. If you try to use it at too high a voltage too soon, you're more likely to get a burnt hit. Start low and work your way up gradually. And, yes, the iStick will hit hotter than other setups so that also needs to be taken into consideration.
I always adjust mine for flavour and ignore what the numbers say.

The main thing with the Nautilus is when you change heads, let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the wick to get wet before vaping. Not doing this results in instant burnt hits. I vape high PG juice and have had mine up to 15w. It really depends on the juice. just adjust to taste.
Fisher90. 4.6 volts on an iStick is closer to 5.3-5.6 volts. That's why you getting burnt hits. Problem is worse if you use watts instead of volts with it.
IStick is a great compact device but you must run it lower than what you see others using on other devices.
I run mine at 4.0-4.2 volts with the 1.9 nautilus heads. On my more accurate devices I run it at 5.1. Taste is the same even though volts are way different.

The iStick is calibrated in mean voltage, everything else out there is calibrated in root-mean-square. Put your iStick in voltage mode, then use this formula:
voltage (mean) X 5.8 / Ω = Watts (rms)
So in your case:
4.6 X 5.8 / 1.8 = 14.82 watts
Looking at the formula, you are vaping at 15 watts.
Sounds to me... you're more concerned with the numbers and what other people run their devices at than what is the quality of your vapor production... apologize if I'm mistaken.
Is your vapor production and flavor good at 4.0 volts?
If so, why do you want to move up to 4.6v?
Just because the speedometer in my car goes up to 120 MPH doesn't mean that's a safe speed to operate in... arriving safely and comfortably at my destination is more important than achieving a speed record...
You draw is a big factor.
Your pushing the Atty to the limit you need to draw cooling air through faster. Are you doing a sharp fast pull/ lung pull.
Edit - looks like others nailed the power issue in mean.

I have a Nautlius mini on an IPV mini. The Nautilus has a 1.8 ohm BVC coil in it. I'm currently set to 13 watts with a 50/50 juice. The display says that is about 4.9 volts. When I first start vaping in the mornings with this, I'll set it to 10W and work my way up to 13.
