How long is a coil supposed to last?

[Carrita]

Hi Guys

I have A aspire nautilus = I'm just curious to other peoples experiences? It seems like if I put the voltage over 4 it burns out super fast. If anyone knows any tricks to keep them longer please advise.

thanks,
C

It's not the coil that's burning, it's the wick! The nautilus coils should last at least a week, if not 10 days, but they have been having some trouble lately. Watch RIP Tripper's video on how to rebuild a Nautilus coil, it will save you a lot of money and will vape better than ever.

Ouch I ordered a Nautilus as my first-of-all-time Clearomizer, I though for the price they sell this thing the coil would last longer :S

If your e-liquid has a lot of sweetener in it this can cake on the coils as its being vaped which can impede performance. Also if you are using a thick e-liquid this can play havoc with some wicking setups meaning you get dry hits for lack of flow.

So if the blend is 100% VG we can dilude it with a little bit of water or something to make it thinner? Will this extend the life of the coil?

Welcome Jayd. I think you could use a touch of *distilled* water (as I've seen that used in some DIY recipes) It will certainly thin the juice to reduce clogging/gunking, but, presuming a perfect coil, the life still depends on your vaping style. I'm not familiar with the Nautilus or its coils. I would guess "normal" maintenance (cleaning, dry-burn if appropriate, etc.) should always extend the life of any coil.

Someone way smarter than I should be able to comment better for you. At a minimum, I wanted to say hello and welcome to the forum
