Liquid leaking into bottom hardware - Nautilus

[videogamingtown]

Everytime i take apart my nautilus there is liquid under the coil and around the bottom post of the coil, why does this keep happening?

Also i'm getting gurgling almost constantly ... air hole is set to the maximum setting

Same thing happens to me on a daily basis. When it starts to gurgle (I, too, keep it on the largest airhole), I just take it apart and stick a q-tip in the bottom to soak up the juice.

the atomizer wont screw on tightly enough to prevent leaks unless you turn it with a pair of pliers til it wont turn anymore. thats what i had to do

get an aerotank ive never had a leak yet with mine

To the OP; are you using the BVC coils, or the original ones?

when i used a nautilus that leaked it was the top o ring was flipped upside down. it has a dimpled side and a flat side dimpled should face tip and flat should face tank. mine was reversed from factory and leaked.

i heard the same about the nautilus that's why i bought it, i also heard people say no leaking for the protank 2... everything always leaks i really don't believe reviewers anymore.

I had one of those days yesterday where EVERYTHING I touched leaked and / or mal-functioned. I wanted to throw EVERYTHING in the trash and start all over again.
Then again, I re-considered, changed out a couple of leaky coils, and all is well in the world. (We all have these kind of days. The square peg into round hole syndrome.....Sure glad I didn't throw everything out. I was THIS CLOSE.)

I never had any leaking in my PT1 or PT2 or any of my Mini PT3s, however lot of people say the PT3 leaks a lot. I can't comment on the Nautilus cause I've never had one.

I think it's near impossible to keep juice out from under the coil in fact I think it is suppose to collect there. If you look into the base of the Nautilus, there is a rounded chamber that seems like a perfect holding area...for juice. There is no seal between the coil threads and the lower chamber so juice belongs there I think. Flooding, gurgling and popping are a direct result of the wick and coil setup whether it's stock or rebuilt. I would not over tighten the coil into the base. This will create worse problems. It should be screwed in "hand snug" at the most. You want the coil and wick mostly saturated. Maybe your overall seal/airlock is the issue.....

Make sure airholes are closed when you screw back on the atomiser to the tank.

I vape one the 3rd hole I find if I get some leaking then turning it to the largest hole and having a vape or turning it upside down and fire it up and blowing through the air hole helps to clear it.

When mine gurgles a bit I reverse my draw, just a ligth short burst of air into the drip tip, finger off the fire button, clears it right up.

i have juice collect but it dosent leak i tend to like the open draw so im not creating alot of vacuum. still the nautilus is the best fill n go tanks i have tried yet.
