I have an issue with my BVC Aspire Nautilus Mini. Burnt taste.

[LegalizeTangos]

I just had a eGo-c twist battery with my Aspire nautilus mini BVC Dual coil and I'm not able to find that satisfying vape. I just bought the Itaste mvp 2.0 to go with it and i would like to find the fix for this. I have read on this forum that many have found that the BVC provides better taste and performance with increasing voltage/wattage and I can't get a satisfying vape past 3.8v or 10 watts. The vape isn't currently satisfying because it's not providing in the area of vape production that I think that it should. Along with that issue I just realized when I hold down the P and U button on the MVP 2.0 it doesn't display the numbers like it is suppose to. Not sure if there is something I am doing wrong, if there is any more questions fire away and I also will try anything to fix this that I have hte power too. I jumped in on the idea of a BVC and have no knowledge of how they work.


EDIT: It's the iTaste MVP20W. not sure if that's the 2.0 but that's what it says on the box and the packaging.

Hello there, and welcome!

Maybe this helps:

I've experimented with the Aspire Nautilus BVCs a bit, and so far, these are my 2 euro-cents:

- Wattage/Voltage - start low, go up. Like your career at McDonalds.

- Ohms - Use what you can get, They're good coils. For me, the 1.6 Ohm coils wick and deliver better than 1.8s. Hit and miss on coils probability remains, but the coils are not french, so they'll not surrender. Bad (you would think) coils work fairly well on low wattage.

- Gurgling - no over-saturation of juice (the wicking material is very dense), just 1) condensate in the chimney and drip-tip (the Mini has a conical shaft under the drip tip, and that is good, the condensate can flow back to the coil), 2) condensate below the coil in the air control piece (. Solution - take apart, wipe, assemble. High-W puffs, chain-vaping means more condensate. Wipe more often. High-VG+water liquids - more condensate than 50/50s.

- Dry hits - coil prep and primer puffs are crucial. 2 drops in the coil before use, put some in the air-holes too (BVC 101 basics) and time. For example, took a fresh 1.6 today with Bunny's OB, prepped it, after 15min on 14W a dry hit. Waited 15min more, turned W down to 12W, 10 more primer puffs, all is good. Turned W up - puff away, 17 W slow lung hits on biggest air hole. Coil prep, people!!! They teach that in college, though.

- Puffs - try slow(-er) draws. On any air hole. You'll see. Ask your girlfriend.

- Juice consumption - consumes juice like the USA consume oil. Fill it up.

- Flavor - No idea, I think, after weeks of vaping I still have vapers tongue, but who knows. For me, better than the Kangers. Able to switch between flavors, but if you take this one, for example, your'e done. I don't know, what they put in there, but the flavor of other juices after this one just went AWOL. Be cautious using strong organic juice, if you don't know you'll like it. Have a spare coil in the glove department of your Kia. ( I haven't tried RBAs).

- Coil life - ok, this one depends on your budget. If you can, change the coil after a week or if you just don't feel satisfied. For the sake of experimenting I soaked mine in water and vodka - no use. The vapor's there, but the flavor diminishes like our hopes and dreams.

Plus, dn't overtighten the base when assembling. Put some juice on the rubber as lubricant.

I tried a few things and am vaping currently 11.5 w. It's better, but I'll keep it updated, hopefuly I can continue to get help but thanks guy

What's the pg/vg ratio of the juice you're using?

 

[LegalizeTangos]

I have VG only juice and I have 50/50 balance, it is not the answer i'm looking for, i think it might have been the coil, i just changed the coil, I primed the Col and lubricated as it said, vaping low W now, will see how I can increase with taste. I still need to figure this problem out with the iTaste MVP20w

Just wanted to point out that heavy vg juice typically doesn't wick very well in those coils. Higher pg is more fluid, and reaches the wick better preventing dry hits/burnt taste.

Is it 50 PG / 50 VG or 100 % VG juice ?

Certainly sounds like a wicking issue

PRIME PRIME PRIME. I just got my mini naut 2 weeks ago and i completely wrecked the first coil because I was treating it like an atomizer and it is not at all. Treat it like a carto tank. I recommend tossing your burnt bvc, putting in a new one, filling the tank and putting a few drops inside the BVC itself and letting it sit for about 2 hours. After that, it should be soaked well. Hope it helps!

On my Nauty coils, I put 5 or so drops down the top, and one drop on each "wicking hole". The put the full tank together, and let sit for 5-10 minutes (at least)

^ This. Give it a couple power-free puffs to help with wicking.
