Eventually, (one day) I will run out of Nautilus coils.

That is the day I'll be getting 2 subtanks even if I run them more or less the same power as the mini Nautilus.

Probably going to go 1 x nano plus 1 x mini.

If I find the coils don't do at least a week, I shall cry (for a split second) and wish I'd never done it. However, I feel 95.4% confident I can rebuild the heads in the dark after 4 large beers standing on my head, so then I can't really lose.

(I don't like rebuilding Nautilus... so long term, sub's have to be the way to go...)

I own both a Nautilus Mini and a Subtank Mini. Both tanks deliver good flavor, but if you like a cooler vape or are not a lung hitter, I think the Nautilus is a better fit. I've also had more problems with the Kanger, such as spitting with the 1.2 ohm coil, occassional leaks, and trying to find a comfortable sweet spot (as the Kanger tends to run hot). My two Nautilus Minis have pretty much worked fine from day one. I haven't used the RDA section yet, but I may try that with a 1.8 ohm single coil and see if that finally gets the Kanger where I want it.

Also, if you go sub-ohm, you'll likely need new e-juices at a lower nicotine level.

The main question you have to ask yourself is are you comfortable with large volumes of vaper that you inhale with a direct lung hit rather than a mouth to lung.

If you use the RTA section of it on the smallest air hole, it does constrict it enough for a modest mouth to lung, but it's still nowhere near as tight as a nautilus.

I use the original subtank and have to say I am impressed with this clearomizer, but it's not for everyone. Don't buy in to the hype - consider your way of vaping and how this will work with that.

Looks nice together and it really vapes great wether you're using the occ coils or the rba, sub ohming or not.

I own both....subtank mini and nautilus mini. The mini is flavorful and produces good vapor. I primarily use it on a mvp20w for mouth to lung hits. The subtank mini generates a lot more vapor and taste at a range of about 18-23w for me. I use the rba deck with a .8 coil. I also have the Delta II from Joyetech which is a great option as well.

It all depends on your preference. If you like the mouth to lung hits I'd go nautilus mini. If you prefer the lung hits I'd go with the subtank mini because of the wide open airflow. Just remember to lower your nicotine levels if you go with the subtank. I've found that anything over 12mg will make me sick. I prefer to stay below 6mg.

I use the subtank mini or delta II on a istick50w at the moment.

As faar as I am concerned the Subtank mini is the best tank on the market. I have 3 Kayfun Lite+ authentic a KF V4 also authentic, 4 regular Nautilus's and one mini which I don't care for too little air flow for me. I have 4 sub minis and I love them I also have a 25mm which I got when they first came out. Don't use it a lot only thing I like about it is with a head installed it holds 6ml with the RBA section holds the same as the mini. I use my own build in all of the minis and I love them. I also use them for my NI200 build which works great on the rDNA40.

I've used and have subtank mini, nautilus, lemo drop, kayfun v4 clone with authentic parts inside, and a goblin but for the price and easy build also taste factors I love my subtank mini. Airflow u can go high or low also don't have to drain tank if you want to change coil. Kayfun v4 is good also but it's $180 for authentic vs subtank $40-60. Nautilus was good when I started but after using rda I just couldn't go back to it[emoji29] and subtank never leaked on me so far. Had it for a month now but it's really great and user friendly tank.
