Is 70% VG too much for Nautilus coils?

Except now I'm looking for something I can put my steel tanked Nauti Mini on and carry in my pocket. From the responses here, its clear the istick 20 was a bum buy. Any suggestions? Needs to be a mod not a battery shape. I have an Aspire K1 starter kit which is perfect for my pocket and surprisingly good. Just want a change but it has to be small and show power setting and battery life.

I have 2 x 20w iSticks. If you don't mind vaping a bit higher than it says and have the right tanks/coils to deal with that, you can get a good return on the (small) investment.
For example, when they came out they caused trouble with Protanks using 1.8ohm coils or lower. Put a 2.2ohm atomizer in the tank and it's job done.
Personally, I found the K1 superb on the iStick 20w, just the adapter was my only criticism.
I take a glass mini Nautilus to work on a 20w or 30w iStick and it sits in my drawer. Not let me down in 14 months. :)
Whatever 'real watts' I'm getting, the vape is spot on for me.

No, I don't mind vaping higher but I have two Nautilus tanks, large and mini. And the available coils are only 1.6 and 1.8 to my knowledge. I also have two Kabuki tanks and they take only Nauti coils. I have a Triton 2 as well but I put that aside since I don't want to sub-ohm as I want the higher Nicotine content for now. But I'll check to see if they take 2+ ohm coils.
I've just discovered that my favourite juice (Suicide Bunny Suckerpunch) is in my large Nauti that sits atop a P3. And the juice is 70VG. AND its vaping beautifully! So there's some hope yet......

Well not really familar with the set ups you already have but I am just wondering why you do not want any type of a box mod? Me myself I did not want a bunch of things kicking around so I bought a 150 watt box mod. It still fits perfectly in my hoodie pocket and that way I can vape a huge range of E Juice without any problems. I can also pick just about any tank out there and throw it on. I went with a Sigelei 150 TC and its my all day buddy. I have a bit of a reaction to PG so I always vape higher VG juices.
It's got to be really smaller to fit into my pocket without being bulky. And I'm quite slightly built. i guess I'll stick to my K1 Aspire starter setup for portability. Not an issue.

It is :eek: , i mean i rarely if ever have anything worthwhile to contribute or what anybody would consider useful information .

Wow, first time for everything i suppose

Thank you Sir.
Herb, off course it was worthwhile. I'm reading your experience with Nauti coils and high VG juice. Remember I'm new to vaping.

I've been using 70% vg in my (4) nautilus mini tanks and my k1 glassomizers for months. Never a problem,I vape between 13 and 15 watts with an isick 30w and an istick 40w.
That's very encouraging. I just realised today that I've been blissfully vaping my favourite juice in the large Nauti and I was oblivious to the fact it's 70VG.

Enough said. I get it. I went to their shop to ask a few questions. The internet and telephone experience is better. Reliable delivery service too. But the store experience is.........questionable. Anyway i have more gear than what I need. Except now I'm looking for something I can put my steel tanked Nauti Mini on and carry in my pocket. From the responses here, its clear the istick 20 was a bum buy. Any suggestions? Needs to be a mod not a battery shape.

Why not try the ijust2. It wont take your Nauti but it will fit the Atlantis and honestly the tank it comes with is pretty good. It's about $45. There is no temp control and its an unregulated battery but it's an amazing piece of equipment and perfect for your pocket..check it out.
