All the NT fruit flavors (heck, maybe all fruit flavors) are very muted or mild for me. All my tanks are mini pt2s and I heve both ego stylr batts and vv/vw batts. If I turn up the heat, low ohms, high wattage, I just get burnt taste, no flavor improvement. So, I'm wondering if the new nautilus mini with bvcs would pump up the flavor. And before you go there, I'm not getting a reo and I'm not gonna drip.

Maybe you just have a a blind spot for fruits?? You're gear is fine, they should pop for you with that gear...:blink:

All my coils are rebuilt with cotton. You may be correct, Megan. I have a couple from MEL that aren't really hitting for me. Funny thing is, when I tasted them in my little eCabs the flavor was pretty good. Those use little wickless coils. At least I think they don't have wicks. Ya know, I happily vaped with those things for over a year before I happened upon ecf and started to think I was missing something. $$$$$$$ later . . .

Is there a local vape shop you can go to that could let you test the liquid in a dripper? :) Even if you don't intend on dripping, it might be beneficial to try the liquid in some more efficient delivery devices so you can get them to "catch" for you?

My grandson has a dripper. He lives with me, so I'm sure I could try. I haven't liked it, or his Nautilus when I've tried them, though. Too warm and airy for me. I can barely vape the Nautilus the way he has it set.

I think drippers are too airy for me as well....Of course I do mouth to lung hits while all the folks I've met in town with airy drippers do lung hits which I find too harsh. I like to roll the vape around in my mouth a bit before inhaling and exhaling through my nose...

With your Grandson's Nautilus you can always change the airflow and turn down the wattage/voltage for less warmer more airy vape.But I agree with what Kent said and try them in a dripper or different tank.As for getting a Nautilus, I absolutely love mine and their are videos on how to rebuild the BDC coils or you can always try the new coils which are supposed to be longer lasting and produce a more flavorful vape.It just might be the best thing if you don't want to go down the RDA route.

Oh and you can try adding a abit of menthol to make the flavors stand out more.

Nautilus mini with bvcs is a game changer for me. I started out with a simple 510 set up years ago. Moved on to cartomizers, Protanks (then building coils for PT), Russians, Kayfun, Iclears, igo-w's Tridents, Omegas, 3d.....recently Reo and now have been using the Nautilus mini with bvc. On my iTaste VTR and it is amazing. Blows away all the above. yes, dripping and the Reo probably produce a bit more flavor/vape, but for a fill and go, there is nothing that I have tried that can touch this baby!!

The Reo is now my number 2. I just get tired of the fiddling I have to do. Making the coils, changing the cotton. Rebuilding and not being happy with the build. Air hole either to small or to big for build.

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting muted flavor specifically with BG. So maybe someone could help me. I got a bottle of the BG VG born on date 3-26-14 that I tried FOB in a protank on a MVP and the flavor was very subtle so I let it steep until today. I put some in my mini with a fresh battery and cotton in rm2 at 1.2 ohms thinking I'd get great flavor and was very disappointed. All I'm getting is a faint raspberry and then a bad aftertaste. Any thoughts?

I have 1 fruit that I love. It was my ADV for a while, before I found NT. It's a lemon ice, lots of lemon, just the right amount of ice. I like Coolcumber Mint very much, lots of the cuke, not much mint. I'm kind of on the wire with QoH. I've messed with it so much I don't really know what's in the tank anymore. I need to clean out the tank and try it clean from my well steeped bottle. I think maybe the fruits just aren't for me. It's not like I don't have a dozen or more liquids that I'm really happy with. Need to remember why I'm vaping (I don't smoke and I don't stink) and stop looking for more, more, more. Probably should see a therapist.

I have fruit juices in abundance because I always think I should like them but I've come to realize I don't enjoy straight fruit vapes so mix them with CLS or CB

I find the fruits all hit pretty hard for me in aerotanks with vv batteries. Maybe you need dual coils, fray.
I have dual coils for the iclear16b that came with my mvp2, but I didn't like that tank and have retired it. The draw was just too tight. I can't make dual coils, so that's a factor, too.

fray, if you try your fruit in the Nautilus and decide you want a full sized, let me know. I have one that I was saving to give to someone, such as yourself.
