How do you vape? Mini nautilus

[angie124]

Read so many comments of problems and others having none. Someone mentioned they think it's the way the user is vapeing so can you tell me -
What voltage ?
How many seconds per draw
How long between draws
What pg/vg
Which air hole
Just trying to work out if its the way I vape that causes me problems.

What problems are you having?

 

[Susaz]

Depends highly on the liquid. If you vape a more dense liquid you'll need more voltage and a smaller hole for it to draw in more juice. If you're experiencing less dense hits, a couple of dry pulls (without activating the battery) should do the trick. Having its own wicking material makes it easier for serial vapers, I take two or three pulls in a row, and let it sit for a while that can go anywhere between 2 to 15 minutes. I generally vape 1.8 ohm heads 2+volts (3.8v). I don't use wattage. As heads age, and depending on the liquid you'll get less vapor. Also depends on how humid the air is, the more humid the weather, the more satisfying vape you'll get. No two vapes are alike. Wash your heads every 10ml of liquid or so to extend life, and dry burn (wth wet head) every two weeks or so. ROTATE heads! will give you more mileage. I've also found that it vapes better as you approach the end of your tank, so don't overfill.

The same problems as many. Gurgling and flooding. Learnt on here how to stop it gurgling. But gets annoying having to sort it out all the time. 50/50 juice always largest air hole can never go under 4.5. I bought a back up for when it's not working a aero tank v2. Haven't used it for a couple of days just tried and no vapour on that. Just wondered if it's me doing something wrong

Maybe if you tell us what kind of problems you are having, we can help. What is going on?

 

[angie124]

As in my post above.

Ahh, I just saw you already posted this.

I JUST got my Nautilus Mini less than a week ago. So far, I haven't had any gurgling or leaking. In fact, I thought this wasn't an issue with this clearo at all!



Considering the design of the Nautilus Mini, I really don't see how gurgling or leaking would be an issue, unless there is either a defect, or it is user error.

Are you making sure it is screwed on tight enough?

Did you read the directions THOROUGHLY? The directions are VERY specific about how to re-fill and fill up the tank. You can't just open it however you like and fill it up, at least according to the directions.

Are you over-filling it?

My wife is just sitting beside me vaping on her iStick and Nautilus mini. Her answers:

3.8v
4.7seconds
If she's drinking, she chain vapes. She doesn't vape when she's not drinking
It's my own DIY mix, 10PG/90VG
The biggest one

It will work for a while fine as long as I stay at 4.5. I have to keep taking drip tip off and putting paper towel down chimney to dry it off. I take slow long draws about 4-6 seconds. I fill it with air holes closed and always vape on largest air hole. When it's working it's amazing. Don't know what goes wrong as it's not all the time. It seems to be wicking too fast.

Wash the head, it's not vaporizing enough. Dry burn it with the filling moist and try again. The coil is too gunked up.

 

[angie124]

Thanks I'll try that

Sigelei V5
9 watts
70pg/30vg
same coil for 10 days and still registers 1.8 ohms
2nd to last smallest air hole

 

[Ren76]

Maybe you're drawing too hard?

 

[Susaz]

Mine also gurgled when brand new, I pushed up the voltage all the way to 5.5 and vaping it fully opened. It went away as the head wore off. Nowadays I'm vaping them at 4.5, surprisingly, these have a break in period like cartos had.

 

[angie124]

Could it be im not drawing for a long enough time to vapourize the liquid. Can't be the voltage 4.5 should be enough.

 

[cesctheman]

Yeah my mini gives good clouds sometimes. Don't get a great throat hit. Atty doesn't pop, leaks sometimes tried everything. Provari adaptor I use with my mvp.(I don't have a provati tho... I swear the adaptor is causing problems for me. It works better with adapter worse without. Trouble with aero tank mini too. I have to have it really loose and takes ages to find where it works...
Help if anyone can...

Make sure your coil is tight when you refill because it can, and does loosen when unscrewing the bottom to refill or clean letting juice in the bottom well.

 

[angie124]

Yes I always take coil out and clean underneath and re tighten every refill

What about holding firing button for a couple of seconds before inhaling to heat the coil before I inhale. Is it ok to do that ???

 

[Big Me]

I usually hit the fire button for a second beforehand. I wait for the crackle to begin then inhale. For mouth to lung, it's very slow and gentle for about five or six seconds (2nd from smallest hole @8-10 eleaf Watts/3.8-4.3 eleaf Volts*) and for direct lung hits its about the same length of time but drawing a little harder using a moderated inhale - not completely closing my mouth around the drip tip so air is drawn from the room as well as via the mini nautilus. (largest hole @5 eleaf Watts/3 eleaf Volts*).

*I'm using an iStick and it uses a slightly different method for calculating Watts/Volts.
