i use eleaf istick. Aspire nautilus 1.8 coil. They are real aspire coils. 50/50 juice. 0% nicotine. I keep burning them out past 11 watts or 4.6 volts. The coil says 3.0 to 6.0 volts. Aspire emailed me saying dont go past 11 watts or 5 volts. I havent but every time they burn out. Anyone same problem? If not advice. Please.

Maybe take shorter shots with the power?
I bought your setup for my brother-in-law's Christmas gift, along with some 60% VG juice. He started playing before calling me, and cranked up the watts to max (15.6W, I think). I told him that was probably too high, especially when he said it tasted a little burnt, but he laughed me off. He only fires it for about 1 second per puff. And you know what? He's still using his original coil to this day. Go figure.
P.S. I got him the Nautilus MINI, with 1.8 ohm coils...I guess there may be a difference there, but they use the same coils I think.

The istick is pretty notorious for running higher than what it's set at. Maybe the coils are getting more power than you think they are.
How do you "break-in" your coils?
When I mount up a new BVC for the Nauty Mini, I put two drops of e-liquid down the coil pipe and let it soak for a minute before screwing it onto a filled tank. Then I'll set the tank upright for a couple minutes to make sure the wick ports get saturated too.
I then set low wattage (7-8W) when firing for the first few times, making sure to keep the wick primed (a little suction, without firing, at the beginning and end of the draw).
After that, I'll start ramping watt by watt until I get where I want. I'm using a VaporShark rDNA30, and I just put a new BVC coil in tonight. It's now humming away quite happily at 14.8W (vaping ITCVapes' Custard #3, 50/50 12mg). A 2-second firing gets me a nice juicy mouthful (I'm not chasing clouds, obviously), with an extra second of suction after releasing the button.
If you're still burning up coils under these circumstances, there might be a problem with your iStick. They're known to fire a little hotter than other mods, due to a difference in power modulation. It shouldn't be enough to wreck your coil at 11W, though...unless something defective is going on.

Closing this one since it is already being discussed in the duplicate thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/645395-help-bvc-coil-2.html
