Knock on wood I never broke mine, but there were some intense moments of frustration that ended with me holding a hammer in a menacing fashion. Lol! I did finally figure out that you can unscrew the top cap from the glass. 2 pairs of pliers, a towel and some tongue out,eyes, crossed, careful wriggling wil do it.

I've had gurgling in both the full size nautilius and the mini, and I found a quick fix to the light gurgling was to take a qtip and run it down the mouth piece. Usually just a small puddle forming on the ring in the drip tip that causes the light gurgling. Gf had same minor issue and a qtip fixes it every time.

I run both the mini and fullsize at 13 watts.

Okay, followed hanasidea of burning of the excess...no gurgling, now slightly burnt tasting. Grrrfr. Hoping a bit of vaping will get rid of it.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

Ahahaha I'm an idiot. I left it at 20w, and it was tasting burnt. Dropped back down to 16, no burnt no gurgling!! Thanks everybody!

We all know who's coming now .......

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I am getting much more of a "juice in the back of my mouth" feeling than i did with my evod though. Hrumph.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

open up the air flow. bigger clouds, less flavor. but less wetness too.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

Totally okay with less flavor. Lol. I was taken aback by how MUCH flavor I am getting from the same juice compared to my vape pen.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

That's a solid tank you have now. Keep it clean though. You will get some condensation down in the base. It will happen no matter what. Every 3 - 5 tankfulls, pop the coil out and rinse out the base with super hot water and let it dry. If the juice builds up down there it will turn to a black sludge and taste like crap. Its easy to keep it clean if you do some maintenance cleaning on it at least once a week. The coils should last you at least a week to 10 days each. Probably more like 2 weeks. There's info out there on how to clean them too. I never bothered with it, but you can if you want.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I tried to clean the Kanger one once and it didn't work for crap. I might try again with these, only because my local B&M doesn't seem to carry the coils. (I'm trying to talk him into it, but he doesn't carry the tanks either so yeah. . . )

 

[MaenadMoogle]

Thank you all for your help troubleshooting today. I'm really enjoying this upgrade now that it's functioning properly.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

The coils arehalf the price and easy to find online. Go ahead and get a 5 pack. It will last you for months.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I wish all the darn coils were interchangeable. I've still got a 5 pack for the Kanger. Ah, I'm sure I'll use them over time.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack. While @Hans Wermhat suggestion worked for a short time, I'm back to gurgling. I'm using 50/50 liquid, air flow is open all the way, watts are between 16-17. . . what givvvvvvvves? I just went on my smoke break and gurgle gurgle. Burned the excess again. All is good for about 10 minutes, and gurgle. I'm ready to switch to my EVOD!! >.< I'm also getting a good bit of liquid up under my drip tip.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

hmmm... Something is def not right. I dunno though. I looked it up. Aspire suggests max wattage for the coils at about 15W for the 1.6 ohm and about 20W for the 1.8ohm. So you should be right in the sweet spot. I would need to take it apart and look at it to tell ya any more about it. But you are def seeping juice i somewhere it shouldn't be.

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I'm wondering if I should contact the guys I bought it from or just go straight to aspire? Or is it user error and I just need to keep tweaking it. :/

Hidee-ho @MaenadMoogle. I have experienced a touch of gurgling with my Nauti Mini - usually from running at too low of power (I hit mine around 11-12W and I run 25p/75v juice.)

Weird question.... How hard are you drawing? Are you taking the "I'm going to suck a milkshake through a coffee stirrer" kind of hit, or are you taking a more gentle "I'm sipping hot coffee through a bendy-straw" kind of hit? If you're pulling too hard, and your power is insufficient, you might be flooding the coil yourself.

I have used EVOD tanks, RDAs, Kanger SubTanks, and Nautilus tanks. Each one of them requires a slightly different kind of draw (at least to me.) I've just learned to adjust how I take a drag, based on what I'm using.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

Was just about to type this...

 

[MaenadMoogle]

I started out with a hard draw because that's what it took on my EVOD. . . after poking around on the forums for a bit, somebody warned that might be part of the issue with somebody in the past who was having a lot of flooding issues, and you should draw lightly, so on my last break I backed off some, Doesn't seem to make a difference. :/ Maybe I need something in between the two.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

That's a mouth-to-lung tank, not a lung hitter like a subohm tank. Puff it like a ciggie, not one of the other kinds of ciggies.
