i love my Nautilus, but...

[schmance]

Is there anything comparable that doesn't require so much dang work to refill? Half the time I go to refill it the atomizer unscrews into the shaft and i have to get my hands covered in juice to put it back in the base because the base cross threads if i leave the atomizer head in the shaft.

Does anyone know of a similar style with similar cloud and flavor production that just has a little port at the top for easy eyedropper refilling?

I mostly need this because I chain vape while driving and 5mL sometimes doesn't cover my daily commute between job sites.

Thanks in advance!

WOW! I've never heard of 5ml being too little That is impressive!

I have had the same issue with my Nautilus, It seems to vary from coil to coil for me. I know some of the SubTanks have a 7ml capacity, but the sub-ohm vaping makes it seem like it is 5ml.

The Nautilus Mini doesn't separate like that, but it only has a 2ml capacity. The clouds, and flavor of the mini are better than the Nautilus.

I'm loyal to Aspire when it comes to standard tanks, so I may not be the best person to answer this Hope this helps though.

You could always buy a second one. Fill both before your trip and swap tanks when one is empty.

I learned to not screw the coil in to the base but in to the tank, this allows you to fill it up more also. When re threading the base, it is a bit more difficult and cross threading is possible but once you get it it holds more. Also remember as long as its not cross threaded you dont have to tighten it very much, just enough and I never ever get leaking problems. If you cannot untighten easily you are cranking it too hard.

I always screw my Nautilus coils into the base - finger tight - as the seal here stops the base from getting flooded with juice (e-juice out the air holes anyone?).

While it is rated as a 5ml tank, I regularly get more than than that squirted in before reaching the top of the air tube.

When you screw the base onto the tank your looking to make two seals, one on the air tube and the other with the glass to the base seal.

+1 rotation after the glass contacts the base seal and you've pretty much got that sealed, considering that you've had to screw the atomizer onto the air tube to reach that point you basically got the atomizer/air tube sealed.

I tend to continue screwing the tank onto the base until the glass reaches the outside lip of the tank seal (and/or I notice resistance in further turning).

Screwing the tank on will eventually "bottom out" on ether the atomizer+air tube or the glass+seal.

Your likely just over tightening the tank onto the base.
