I just cant part with my Nautilus or my MVP... even after the Atlantis. Any airflow mods?

I remember all the buzz about the Nautilus BVC and how you needed 15 watts to really get it to shine. My MPVs went in a drawer and havent seen much use lately.

I have been making my Nautilus so tight thinking I needed to to prevent it from leaking. Lately I have been reading that just making the tank snug was better.

So I have my 2 Atlantis coils ( both about done at 3 weeks of heavy use ) soaking in PGA along with the tank. My 15 watt Dovpo was dead, so i filled a freshly cleaned Nautilus original with the steel tank up with Jerry juice and a fresh coil.

OMG... it is the best flavor I have ever had from the nautilus, and maybe even Jerry juice. I am wondering if my over tighening was affecting the flavor somehow.

Has anyone removed the stock nautilus air flow ring to expose all the airflow holes? If I could get just a little more airflow I think I would start using this tank again.

I managed to remove the airflow control ring ( didnt loose the spring or pin either )

Improves the airflow a little, no significant effect on the flavor. I tried it at 15 watts on my Dovpo and the vapor was really nice. I think the particular juice ( Jerry Juice ) vapes better at 11 watts.

The MVP has always been my single favorite mod, I am glad I discovered that it is still worth keeping around.

Try a Beyond Vape Silo. Uses Nautilus coils and has better air flow.

I was looking at those but got some mixed reviews... anyone with firsthand knowledge of them is welcome to give your opinion.

I have about 50 BVC coils left and probably a gallon of 12mg juice I cant vape with my atlantis. Its nice to give my lungs a break from all those clouds.

I've been using one for a few months. I got it when BVCs were first introduced.

The air wide open is about the same as the 2nd largest on the Atlantis. As I understand it Aspire had a hand in the design. Not sure about the production. The glass tank is the same as the Nautilus. It's basically a Nautilus with a different tank cover and more airflow.

The fit and finish is quite good on the 2 samples I've used. I've had no usage problems to report.

Does the nautilus coil keep up with that kind of air flow? Any dry hits or loss of flavor?

When i screw the base on i stop as soon as i feel slight resistance (snug). I see no flavor difference between over tightening and not. How could this really effect it? Something i do notice is using the smaller air holes improves wicking. That is something to keep in mind.

I normally vape 50/50 juice, wide open air between 9 and 10 watts. I've tried it up to 20 watts with no dry hits. Started noticing it at around 23 watts.

I think my preffered wattage makes it more prone to gurgling than dry hits. It'll start to gurgle about once a day. When that happens I fire it for one second without taking a draw then blow into the drip tip. A little vape comes out the air intake and it's back to normal.

Sorry, as to flavour, the difference isn't as noticably different as it is on the Atlantis. Of course the Atlantis has much greater airflow wide open so that might be comparing apples and oranges.

I should have explained that better. Turning up the watts also eliminates gurgling.
