It's not that the juice is getting thicker, the gunk on the coil is mostly leftover components that don't vaporize.
This is common with a lot of tobacco flavors, particularly with NET (naturally extracted tobaccos) or WTA (whole tobacco alkaloid) juices, but happens to some extent with pretty much all of them. Some parts of the flavoring components often don't vaporize, so are left behind on your wick and coil. That's likely the "gooey" stuff you're referring to. Coil gunk is something we all have to deal with, but some juices accumulate it more or less than others. If it's getting to be too much effort to keep them clean you can always go out and try some new juices and see if you can find one you like that gunks up less than what you're using now
You already know how to clean your coils, I'm assuming based on your post, so just keep on going the way you are. If you're getting good results then it sounds to me like you're doing it right

I run mostly coffee flavors. I'll change coils every 2-4 days, dropping the old coils in a jar of cheap vodka to soak. Rinse them after a few hours, and let dry overnight
After a few such cleanings, if they start to seem like they're not coming back to life, I gut 'em and rebuild

I'll soak mine for days. I have at least 8 or 9 that I rotate. I vape 2 or 3 different ones. Is it worth changing wicks or do you recommend a new or rebuilt ?
When I recoil, I put in new cotton. Using Japanese organic
Went from $1-2 per coil to 15-20 cents per coil

Oddly enough, I can't. I know I learned rebuilding from a thread on here, but I seem to have deleted the link.
Ahhh... here's where I got started: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ed-kanger-dual-coil-single-vertical-coil.html
I can warn you one thing about the Nautilus: there's a layer of filler between the inner and outer body pieces. When you pull the old guts, you have to be careful not to pull that too. If you do, you can separate the body pieces using a 3/16 bit (as a punch) and a 3/8 socket (as a holder), rewrap the inner piece (takes VERY little cotton) and press fit the 2 back together.
