I'm a bit out of the loop here, I stepped away from the vaping scene a few years ago due to financial constraints that are no longer an issue. I recently purchased a nautilus Mini from my local juice shop and I use a innokiin itaste VV ver 3.0 as my go to battery I have a few old regular eGos ( eGi?) floating around as well. Somehow I have managed to burn through both of the standard BVC atomizers that came with the Nautilus Mini and an entire pack of them as well in a little over 10 days! This should not be.I have not adjusted the settings on the VV ( so still stock at v 3.3 and p 6.0) because I am not quite comfortable with that yet. So what could be the cause of this? It's just irking me that I've burned through so many so quick.
Issues with Aspire BVC on the Nautilus Mini

What kind of juice are you using? Is it really, really dark, or super sweet, or thick and viscous?

Not really any of the above it's a light colored liquid not super sweet not very viscous at all
Are they authentic aspire bvc heads? as in verified on aspires site.
Have you experimented with the airflow control ring?
You're not burning them up at 3.3v or 6w.
Using them at too low power could be gunking them up causing odd / funky / burnt tastes.

too low power will cause residue to not burn off the coil. it builds up and soon it is done. the itaste really maxes out before what the bvc even needs. you can run the 1.8 very comfortably at 12 watts and as much as 15. you will know if it is your juice then. cheap juice will burn at that but good juice will be good.
I was going to suggest to bump it to either 3.8 volts or 8 watts and try again, too! Word, good advice, Nic and your Highness. ;-)

I can confirm they are authentic according to the Aspire site. In an act of desperation i took several apart that had died the wire running from the base to the fill was completely charred and broken in areas on all of them. So I decided to look at the fill material it seems to be like an ashy poly/cotton blend.that disintegrates at a touch. Any ideas ?
I agree with upon your voltage a little I am using mine at 4v on a 1.6 coil and was at 4.4 on the stock 1.8 coil it came with. What is the vg pg ratio of your liquid I tend to turn my voltage up some when I switch from 50 50 to 70 30 mixes.
Aspire calls it bio ceramic fill, ceramic disks, insulators & cloths are nothing new to vaping.
Not priming the coil properly can burn it out instantly. I prime with juice directly into the coil until fully saturated. I then screw on a full tank and take some long slow dry pulls w/o firing. I then let it sit for 5 minutes. Sometimes I will cover the air hole during these primer pulls to make sure the juice in the tank is connecting with the coil.
I then do a few short burst pulses at 7 watts....I do more dry pulls....I slowly increase the firing and vape it slowly. When I feel it is good and primed and operating well, with good flavor and vapor I up my wattage to say 9 watts then proceed from there until I hit a sweet spot.
Break the coils in slowly and they will become your friend
Sometimes you get a bad batch of coils and whatever you do fails.

I just wonder does the resistence of e-liquid matter?
Not the resistance but the thickness or lack of viscosity. Heavier VG juices will gunk or render coils useless. They burn them out quicker. Higher ohm coils like a 1.8 ohm BVC coil have a hard time processing thicker juices. VG is thicker than maple syrup. 70% and higher VG juices are better vaped in low ohm setups or "sub-ohm" setups.
So the answer is yes, the mixture of e-liquid matters.
I just said screw it and threw down on an RDA ( the Patriot I think it's called) and a Hades mechanical mod. The mini is nice as a backup but I get better flavor this way.
