Nautilus 2s leaking with nic salts

[Hanbe82]

Hi all
Im having massive issues with aspire zelos. .nautilus 2s tpd leaking really badly. Comes thriugh the airholes at the bottom but gets everywhere inside. It also floods a lot too. Im using nic salts 50/50 20mg and the aspire nic salt 1.8 coils. Its worse with certain liquids but generally is leaking...sometimes a lot. I got a second tank and it's the same story. But this tank is meant to be leak proof. Usually vaping at 10w but i vary this up or down for what seems to suit the liquid im using. Another problem is that the coil always gets stuck when i go to remove it. I push down and unscrew the child proof mechanism but it always seems to unscrew itself from the coil leaving it still in the tank. Im wondering if its the coil thats the problem? Can anyone help please

I'd hazard a guess, and it's only a guess, you're not screwing the coil in properly.

Ive tried screwing it in tight as i can and not so tight and it doesnt seem to make any difference

Then I'm stumped mate. I have no clue about those particular coils. I couldn't tell you what the 'nic salt coil' thing means either. I can't help thinking this nic salt specific coils and tanks is baloney. Have you tried any other coils in your 2s? I have tried all the others available except those nic salt coils and none cause leaking. Occasionally though one will be left stuck in the chimney when I take the base off.

I briefly used the normal 1.8 that came with it with normal eliquid and didnt notice leaking but wasnt getting cravings satisfied so switched to nic salts....which i think leaked using normal coils. I might be uscrewing it wrong as the coil that came installed also got lodged in when i went to open it. I may have to admit defeat and cope with regular and not nic salts. Thanks for your thoughts

It could be the 50pg/50vg juice. PG is very thin. Maybe a higher VG mix would work better.

Also sometimes too low a wattage will result in flooding or leaking

What was the PG/VG on that juice? Nic Salt itself wouldn't make the difference

FYI nic salts are inherently no thicker or thinner than freebase. The PG:VG ratio is the primary factor affecting viscosity.

It’s not the salts. That coil should be okay with 50/50 but I’d try higher vg just to rule that out if possible. Are there any accessible o rings? If so, check and replace if needed. Are you letting it sit somewhere too warm?

If the coil is properly installed, and you try all the other stuff, your tank is a dud. I mean there are only so many things it can be.

If your having issues with the coil getting lodged, than perhaps it's a defective tank. That also can be why its leaking...did you buy from a local vendor? If so perhaps you can go back and have them take a look....

No, honestly I've gotten coils lodged before and it's a pain.... But my tank doesn't leak.

Have you done a complete tear down and checked ALL the O rings? Every single one?

It could be a dud but you said you had 2? That suggests some sort of... IDK user error.

This sucks sorry to not be more help.

Don't fill it all the way to the fill mark. Keep you finger over the drip tip as you screw the top back on. I had the same prob with mine and this is how i overcame it.

The Nautilus 2s doesn't have a fill mark. I fill mine until it's bubbling out the silicone and it's never leaked.
