Nautilus BVC coils - Very moist vapor, or getting juice in mouth?

[Deathbox Mnemic]

Hey all,

I'm using a couple of Nautilus tanks, both with BVC coils (1.6 and 1.8 ohm). I'm noticing after almost every hit, it seems like I'm getting juice in the mouth, but at the same time I'm not feeling the little spits of hot juice like I have before with other tanks. My question, is the vapor just so moist/wet (whatever you want to call it) that it just seems like I'm getting juice in the mouth? The flavor is almost too much sometimes, especially near the back of the tongue/throat. Am I the only one?

 

[dhood]

No, you're not. I've noticed the same thing with mine. Also, running mine at 10.5 or 11 watts on the MVP doesn't seem like it is quite getting hot enough. I'm thinking it needs just a little bit more to vaporize the liquid right.

What voltage and or wattage are you running these coils at?

If it is in the 3.2 - 3.6 volt range, and or in the 5.6/6.4 - 7.2/8.1 wattage range, you need to UP the volts/watts to somewhere in the 3.8 to 4.2 range.

I'm running both nautilus's, Mini and Standard size, and the older ET tanks with the BVC's, 1.4-1.8 ohm ranges, and have them all set to 3.8 to 4 volts. I don't have any spitting or juice in my mouth. Just Vapor and Flavor, Flavor, Flavor.

I run the device between 4.4 - 4.8 volts.

Open up the air flow, and don't pull on it like you would a cigarette cause that's usually too hard. I find that occasionally I have to hit the fire button for a second and then lightly blow into the drip tip so vapor comes out the air hole. That usually clears it up.

How long have you been using the coils for?

 

[dhood]

Using the stock 1.8 coils that came with mine on an MVP. It doesn't gurgle, just the intense flavor like I'm getting juice passed up the tube. the coil is new and the juice taste is not hot at all like it is spitting off of it.

 

[Ren76]

I personally think that the 1.8's seem to be a little better than the 1.6's.

 

[Fattlestar]

Nautilus seems to get condensation in the chimney very quickly compared to others I have used, you might be getting a bit of that if it isn't actually spitting hot juice at you. The drip tip also tends to pick up some, so taking it off and q-tipping it out occasionally could help if that is indeed the issue (might not be).

I use only the 1.6 ohm coils (MVP doesn't have enough power to give me the vape I want on 1.8's) and they seem to last me a good week to a week and a half, but I'm a heavy user. If I vape coffee flavors that time is halved, but that's normal.

I've got the ET-S with the BVC. It does have a very moist vape at lower wattage settings. I really think these coils need more power to vape at their full potential. I've seen videos of people vaping them at 17-18 watts. I can only tell you how it performs at 11w due to the MVP being the biggest mod I have at the moment. I'm getting the Sig 100w box in a few days so I'm looking to push it to 15 and see if that gives a better vape. If it does I'm going to look into getting a eleaf istick 20w. These coils are definitely not getting pushed to their limits with lower power apv's and etc.

 

[Josh11]

I am using the eleaf 20w with nautilus mini and it is a perfect set-up for sure. Super light weight and compact. Perfect to take anywhere anytime. On that note I do get the liquid too on lower settings. It has stopped as of late but yea I thought I was the only one too. Shop told me coils were dead but they were brand new...

 

[ROADRAGE65]

I run the 1.8 ohm coils at 4.8 to 5.0 or 12 to 13.6 watts and that seems to be the sweet spot for me. I heard of people running them higher but I get a burnt taste above 14 watts.

 

[dhood]

On another note, I went into my vape shop and one of the regular customers had an iStick and let me try it out. I found that turning the wattage up to around 12.5 REALLY made a difference. Nice warm vape, relatively thick vapor. Pushed it to 13.5 and that was too much for that liquid. 12.5 to 13 was the sweet spot and the MVP can't do that. Not sure I want to get an iStick just yet just to drive my only Nautilus. I may wait to see what happens the next few weeks sales-wise. Who knows, maybe the MVP3 will be out.

 

[NoBicNeeded]

I am unimpressed with the bvc's. Bad flavor, Gurgling, low vape amount and there is no sweet spot on my bec pro. Quite frustrating. Barely use my nautilus anymore.

 

[entropy5]

I'm getting nice flavor and vapor hits with a K1 glassomizer with 1.6ohm (that actually registers as 1.5) BVC @ 10 watts on a MVP2. Lower wattages do seem to leave a "wetter" taste/feel in my mouth.

 

[Pclarity]

Higher wattages tend to flood coils for me. Staying around 7 - 8w is the sweet spot for most of my juices.

 

[CrystalSoul]

Mine does that too and its usually because moisture collects right at the base of the tip.

I usually take the tip out --> wipe the bottom on my shirt --> proceed to blow on it to force whatever liquid is sticking to the inside --> wipe on shirt again --> blow and wipe one more time = usually fixes the problem for me.

 

[angie124]

This could be my problem. Having problems with gurgling lots told me to up the volts to burn the liquid quicker. Still getting gurgling. Haven't gone under 4.5v. So you think running it on lower volts might help stop the gurgling ?

Every so often I have to pull the drip tip and and swab out a little condensation too.

Bottom coil tanks work on a pressure/vacuum system. When you fill them up full and screw the base back on, it creates pressure. As you use it, and the liquid level drops, the pressure inside the tank changes. If you vape it until it's really low, it's going to gurgle, leak, or spit liquid at you. Try to keep it as full as possible. If you notice you're half empty, fill it back up again. Also, don't draw hard when taking a hit. Long, slow, gentle pulls work best. Let the coil do the work for you. If you draw too hard, especially out of frustration, you're going to pull liquid into the chimney and you're definitely going to get some in your mouth.

EDIT: Also, do not overtighten anything on the tank.
