I'm waiting for my shipment to arrive. I started a month ago with an EVOD starter kit and while it's ok, my batteries die out too fast.
So these maybe some silly questions...I'm sort of clueless about adjusting the settings on wattage etc. I think the nautilus comes with a 1.8 coil which is the same as my kanger pro tank mini and aspire k1. I'm not a cloud chaser, I just like decent flavor. I'm currently bouncing between 12 and 6mg nic.
Are the nautilus coils available in different ohms? I'll use what I have and am getting with the new tank for the time being, but I'm curious.
I go through juice rather slowly (I think?) with the EVOD. I maybe go through 2 mls a day on average. And that's fine with me.
Any tips to transition to my new istick 30 are appreciated! ;)

There are several different coils available for the Nauti. I think it's smart to stick with what you know, though. When you get the new one up and running, you can try a different coil later to see if you like it better. If you're coming off an EVOD, start the power low, like 7 or 8 watts, and run it up and down in small stages until you find the vape you like. That gear is a good choice, it will serve you well. And we'll all be right here the next time you have questions ;-)

The first thing you need to do is turn the wattage down on the iStick. Click 5 times on the fire button to turn on/off. Then click 3 times to select wattage/voltage. I use wattage on mine. Then use the down arrow to lower the wattage, as the iStick will come set to maximum. Turn it down to 8 watts to start. If it says "locked" when you try to adjust the wattage, just hold both arrows down together for a couple seconds to unlock. You use the same holding of both arrows to lock the setting in once you find your sweet spot because this will keep from accidental change of the power setting.

The Nautilus comes with a 1.8 ohm coil and usually a spare 1.6 ohm coil. Both coils are available for purchase. Honestly I don't notice much of a difference between the two but I buy the 1.6. The coils you now have won't fit the Nautilus.

Thanks! I think the tanks I have now will fit with the adapter, so that's what I meant about using what I have. If that works out, I'll keep my current tank(s) filled with higher nic (Or I could just use the EVOD for that purpose if they don't fit the istick)

They will fit with your adapter. You might want to turn the wattage down to 6 to start with the old tanks. Start low and work your way up is the method with ANY vape device. You'll want to keep the evod charged and handy for the times when you recharge the iStick. Backups are the key to successful vape. :) (You're going to love this new setup)

Thanks! When I initially joined, you had pictured your transition for me and told me the istick was a good choice. I've only been pointed in the right direction from all of you...I really appreciate it! I was even able to convert a coworker to vaping! Yay!!
