Is the Nautilus worth it?

I just ordered the Nemesis for myself and the Hades for my husband, and I was wondering if the Aspire nautilus is worth the money? I would be using it on both the V5 and the Nemmy. I have been using the Protank 3 on the V5 and I actually like it a lot. I don't have a whole lot of trouble with it as far as leaking, though when it does leak it is pretty minor. I need a hard air flow. I cannot use anything that is too airy, and sometimes my Protank just doesn't have enough pull to it. I read that the Nautilus is great in that aspect. I am both a mouth hitter and lung hitter, and would like to find a tank that will be comfortable for me to do both with. I do primarily mouth hit however. I'm not looking for clouds, though I do like a lot of vapor so I feel like I am at least getting something off my mod's.

Also, is there ANY RDA's out there that would possibly fit the Hades mod better than my husband's regular RDA? If so, where can I look for it, and what would it be lol. I am not new to vaping, but the monster mod's I have no clue about.

Thanks!
V

Hey V, the Nautilus is a nice clearo, it has an adjustable air flow system with a bottom ring that spins to the desired airflow, the air holes are
0.9mm
1.1mm
1.4mm (about the same draw as a protank)
1.8mm (largest and great for smooth lung hits)

You can also get a SS tank to replace the Pyrex tank if you like SS more. The only problem I know of with them is sometimes the 510 connection is a bit wonky. I have 3 and they all work perfect without any problems at all, and other people can't seem to get theirs to work right no matter what they do.

The only complaint I have is the price, for just a little more you can buy a pretty good RBA. But if your not into building your own coils, the Nautilus is one of the best.

Thanks! I'm not too fond with building. I gave it a whirl as my husband builds his own coils, but I just don't have the patience for it lol. I will probably end up ordering one to put on top of the new Nemmy, and if it doesn't work out then I always have the protank to fall back onto. I have been thinking about looking into a 26650 mod for myself, but them suckers are just HUGE! And I don't think they make 26650 tanks. I hate finding things I really like and not having a lot to fall back on as far as reviews. But at least if they don't work there is always the classified on here. I will be placing my order with Focalecig.

i was looking at the nautilus for about a month before i decided to drop the 35 bucks and pick one up. from the first puff i took it was just as amazing as i expected. airflow system is awesome and flavor is boosted unbelievably. if your looking for a quality clear you should def try it out. and i thought it would look dumb cuz its so big but it looks great on both my mecxh mods and my ego style batteries

Of course the Nautilus is worth it! Consider that it's made of naturally occurring materials found right here on the planet, no imports, it comes in an attractive color, fits your mod, and best of all, it's cordless.

Case closed.

It's supposed to be cordless? Ugh, I think I got a crappy clone. Mine says it was shipped from Saturn too. It took FOREVER to get here. I'm gonna try to find one that was made right here on Earth. Damn Saturnians, always trying to scam us Earthlings. For shame!

Can't answer the first question, but there are a BUNCH of Rba and rda coming out now to match the 26650. You don't have to buy from fasttech, but they have many they have lusted recently. I know there have been pre orders for a large kayfun, and there is an authentic Russian Big also. I thought about a 26650 until I held one in person. Too huge for me! ;)

I like mine a lot on a regulated mod such as a vamo or lambo but not at all on a mechanical such as a nemesis unless one runs a kick in it. The reason is the standard heads can't handle much more than 12 watts at best as you will begin to get a burnt taste. I like mine about 8 - 11 watts with the 1.5 or 1.8 ohm heads. Now I did rebuild one using a single micro coil of 28ga kanthal with a cotton wick 2 1.2 ohm and got it to 15 watts without a burnt taste but didn't take it higher than that.

Good luck with it. I'm about to give up on the Nautilus. Glass is fragile and breaks easily. I think out of 4 heads, I only had 1 that worked decently. Every replacement begins to gurgle, leak, and in general give very poor performance about an hour into use. I think that I would try the Kanger aerotank or something in preference to the Nautilus. My protanks or Kayfuns give MUCH better performance and reliability.
