Can you even sub ohm with a Istick 30?

And yes juices can make the vape harsh, especially if you run the power too high for your wick/tank/airflow/juice. Lots of factors in play there.

im not sure thats just whats on the box, im new to the vape world so im just going by whats on the box, lol.
thank you ill try to lower the power.

can different juices make vaping with a eleaf istick 30w sub ohm with an aspire nautilus mini tank make a vape too harsh?
Nautilus Mini coils must be primed first (Drop a few drops straight into the coil, fill tank, take several puffs without firing the istick). It also helps to let the coil soak for at least 30 minutes, or longer. Start LOW on the power and work your way up. Again - the coils burn easily, once burned there is no turning back, throw it away, nothing will taste right on it.

+1 on priming your coils prior to use. Also, I don't believe you can sub-ohm with an Aspire Nautilus mini... Make sure you're not setting the wattage too high on your iStick, as the Nautilus' stock coils at, say, 30w would certainly lead to the harsh, burnt taste you described. Should you ever elect to go with a sub-ohm tank (e.g Aspire Atlantis or Kangertech Subtank), you will also be wise to consider lowing your nicotine levels accordingly. From my experience, 18mg in a Nautilus Mini is akin to about 6mg in a Subtank at 0.5 ohms.

In any case, I would strongly recommend you do a bit of research. You're on the perfect place to do it, as ECF is chalk full of invaluable information for new vapers.

I did prime the coil, I noticed it's making a gurgle and when I take the tank off and blow out on it it blows juice out the air holes, should I change the coil
That coil sounds flooded now. You shouldn't have to change the coil yet unless its been in there a couple of weeks already. Turn you device upside down and pulse fire the coil a couple of times.

Ahhh, the fine Art of Vaping. The trick is to find that happy medium between too much eliquid and not enough eliquid to the coil. Every device is a little different, and each one needs some experimentation to find "What Works" best for you. Slow, longer draws or puffs like sucking on a straw in a milkshake.

My wife and I both have istick 30 watt she has a nautilus mini and I have a kangertech subtank Plus. One thing I found with nautilus mini is coils suck. We had two of them bad one of those would leak l like crazy. The other was bad from the get go. But the tank does work pretty well. When my wife fills it she generally just let's it sit for about 10 minutes then primes it with 3 unfired hits and bam ready and works great.

We're pretty new little over two weeks in and without smokes. kangertech subtank plus is sub ohm 0.5 ohm coil. Love it super big hits lol. Definitely recommend it works like a champ on my istick.

As someone mentioned above taking a puff is different. From using my tank to her tank you have to positions your lips differently to get a hit. That's the one thing I do not like about the mini I feel like I gotta fish lips it lol. My kangertech feels like my old camel wide lights lol

It's great to hear my hubby and I aren't the other couple trying it together! I wil have to try that next, I'm finding that I'm not sucking as hard as I should I'm so worried I'll mess up the coil if I suck to hard! We both have cut down majorly on smokes since we started I've been on the same pack for 3 days now! ( used to be a pack a day)

Nice keep it up u guys will be fine. When I started this it took about 5 days to kick smokes all together pack of newports a day habit (wife also). Day I started smoked almost 10 cigs next day 4 next day 2 and another 2 lol by day 5 half way into the day went to have one and man tasted like butane compared to my unicorn milk lol. I put it out after one puff. Now my wife and I are like juice fiends always searching for another juice to try lol. But I think we have a few flavors nailed Down now that we like so that will curve the spending.
