Hi Angie - not an expert by any means, but lots of things could cause it from equipment to a coil clogging flavour.

Try posting exactly what liquid you're using (PG,VG, Flavour etc.), and what you're using it in: tank, clearomiser, coil etc., plus battery type/power.

Someone may be able to help you better with that information :)

I only had that once with a mini Nautilus/BVC coils - I went in search of info and found that if the base is screwed on too tight after filling, it can cause problems. It does seem to become a little tighter in use ..perhaps heat
Try removing the base and then putting it back on until just tightened, then back it off half a turn.

Sometimes, if a fairly new coil seems like hard work, I also try turning the metal top on the tank a little bit to the right and then back again (not too tight) can help -something like releasing an air lock or bubble. Seems to work.

Apart from that I've had very little in the way of problems with them. Always the chance of a duff coil though if all else fails.

What voltage do you find these run best at. ??

For me, on a VV battery.... about 4.3 or so.

How old is your atomizer head angie124?

In general, if things go bad (not that I've yet had this with Nautilus) I take out the coil, give it a good blow out, clean/wash the tank and re-assemble (carefully) with fresh juice.

Only on second tank full. Even with the coil I used before one hit would be wonderful nice vaper the next good flavour very little vapour. I was starting to wonder if it could be something to do with connection pin. As I thought lose of vape was normally to do with power

When you refill a nautilus, the pressure can build and flood the BVC. I find it happens more often than not. I turn up the power to 'stupid' and blast out the juice.

In your case, maybe the atomizer head itself is loose or something?

Went to shop. They took coil out and wiped underneath. Which I though you shouldn't do as there is a small spring in there. Anyway they put coil in really tight and it worked brill. Got home refilled with liquid made sure coil still tight put new battery on. Now tank getting hot and very little vapour again. These seem very inconsistent.

New coil in and primed. Gurgled and spat. Then no vapour. Took it out juice under coil. Wiped it out again. So worried about damaging that little spring in there. Really tightened coil in. At this moment it is working better than ever. Really enjoying it. So hoping it carries on. Don't know how juice is getting under coil.
