Yes, started with the BVC in my regular nautilus Aspire 5 mL tank and am speechless. I have even sold all of my mechs and drippers due to the quality of vape that I get from this. The BDC's seemed to only last me a couple of days, being a chain vaper... while I have been using this current BVC for about a week now. I am definately impressed. Also, putting it up to 22W on my Cana mod, i haven't had a dry hit yet. Definately an improvement over it's predecessor.

22W on a BVC? That is impressive. I can't run them over 15W. Any higher and mine get kind of toasty and nasty.

    I picked up a Nautilus not long after I started vaping and eventually moved to a Kayfun lite + V2 and I prefer it over the BVC, in fact, I havent used my Nautilus since. For me the KF is where its at, a single coil around 1.3 ohms and some rayon. The only thing I dont like about the KF is having to pour out any liquid to re-build or if theres an issue but I have a Taifun GT on the way to try out. I will also be getting another KF at some point just to always have one with a fresh build ready to vape.I guess it all boils down to personal preference, Happy Vaping!

    I'll just leave these here. Rip has videos reviewing and rebuilding theNautilus BVCs and has, what IMHO, are valid concerns regarding the ceramic wicks. I absolutely love my Nautilus BVC mini experience, but he's got me pondering about the ceramic.

    I love my Nautilus. It's perfect for me. But a KFL I'm sure would rock my world. I just hate fiddling with everything vaping. Still, if I had the bucks for an authentic I'd buy one.
    However, a cop tagged me at 71 in a 55 a few weeks ago. I haven't gotten a ticket in years and even with defensive driving it's $113! Pretty much what a cool KFL would have cost. Of all the luck.
    I'm not sure what's worse..the ticket or 6 hours of a bad comedian yammering but anything beats DD online.

    If you don't cut it open, pull it apart, and rub it between your fingers before you vape with it, I don't see it being a problem. If Rip has some knowledge about bioceramic materials, he's not sharing. He's just making a very uneducated guess.

    In the research I've done, bioceramics are non toxic to people and human tissue. Types of it are used in everything from bone implants and pacemakers to the exterior of the old space shuttles. I'm not the least bit concerned about vaping with the BVCs.

    If anyone believes it's harmful because, "RIP Tripper says so!", there are plenty of other materials to vape with.

    Back to the OP, it's not as good as my Kayfuns, Sofias or Erlkonigin, but it's pretty close. I mainly use them because they great for "grab n' go" and for trying new flavors with out having to rewick my RBAs.

    I went to DIY because of uncertain regs coming ... then I noticed that most eLiquid seems to be made with run of the mill peppery nic base.

    For me an ADV is not something I vape all day every day ... for me an ADV is eLiquid I would consider worth buying again.

    For those that love the BVC and mini nauts, have any of you had gurgling/spitting juice with the BVC's? If so, how many dud coils did you have in a pack? Just wondering because I had no issues with the OG Nautilus, just the mini and BVC's.

    I had 1 bad coil out of 2 boxes of coils. I use them every day all day. I'm using both the mini and the full size tanks.

    I agree whole heartedly. After having both an authentic and clone kayfun, I have dealt with enough burnt hits, leaking, terrible wicking, weak air flow etc for a lifetime. I absolutely hate the key fun, but more so because no matter what I do, they never, ever work. I consider myself pretty savvy with my building and wicking and absolutely nothing worked. It saddens me because imo, kayfun is the sexiest, most elegant looking tank. The nautilus mini sure is ugly but oh my... These bvc coils put the kayfun to shame.



    Ummm.... I respectfully disagree. ;)






    If these 5 pack of coils hit $6-8 range I will be set for my vape life. I am waiting for another buy 1 get 1 deal like myfreedomsmokes had I shoulda ordered a crate

    I will say, in my own opinion, the bvc's have less flavor than my kfls. I do own 5 kfls and 2 full size nautliii? and a mini. The mini has more flavor, an airier draw, and the coils last longer (maybe due to the more open draw). Yes the coils are identical (i even used an ohm meter to make sure I found 2 identical ohms). Why is the mini better? no idea why. I use the nautili because it's easier to fill, and it lasts longer than the wick in my kfls so they are my current travel setup, but to me the flavor is much less than a kfl, using both a mech mod, 2 dna 30 mods, and an ipv 50w.

    So, Vaporcalyptic, why would you be deliberately offensive to someone who has done you no harm and who has been here helping and vaping far longer than yourself? :confused: Being of the female persuasion myself I find Katdarling's setup beautiful and in good taste. Not everything has to be black, silver, gears and punk rock. The ladies can and do enjoy color and bling. :)
