Nautilus BVC questions

[Notrub1857]

I just purchased a MVP 20W and plan on getting either the nautilus or nautilus Mini to go with it. Does anyone know if the new BVC atomizer will work in the nautilus? Or does it just work with the Mini?

Also, I use 80% VG juices. Has anyone experienced problems with the thicker juices in either the Nautilus or Mini?

Thanks in advance!

Works great, im using one right now with BVC coils. Im using 35PG/65VG atm and it flows well. You may need to adjust to the more restrictive air holes for better wicking with 80VG.

The Nautilus BVC's work on both the full size Nautilus and the Mini.

Just make sure you get the correct BVC's, as Aspire now has 3 BVC versions. Nautilus, General, and Atlantis. None of them are interchangeable.

As for the PG/VG ratios, Aspire's official stance is for the Nautilus and General BVC's to use VG that is less than 50 (i.e. PG/VG ratios of 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40). Because higher than 50 VG, they feel that it is slightly to thick to properly wick and you might experience dry burnt hits (and once you get a burnt hit, you can't recover and need to replace the coil). But your "mileage" may vary and you and others have found higher VG ratios to work (I think mainly that E-Liquid may be marked at 50/50, 40/60, etc. PG/VG ratios really aren't).

The Atlantis BVC's are recommended for higher VG ratios. But you need the Atlantis tank, and a proper battery that can handle SubΩ coils, which is another thread

I only vape 50/50 with my K1 and Mini Davide with BVC coils. I chain vape a lot and haven't had any wicking issues. I've actually found high PG juices are too thin and often gurgle and leak. I have tried 80-85 VG in them and it clogged up the coils really fast and I barely got any flavor. No dry hits though. I did have to replace the coils because even when I refilled the tank with 50/50 the draw was pretty hard and I still wasn't getting much flavor. Some people do say they vape high VG in the Nautilus so maybe it works in those BVC coils but I haven't tried it.

Personally I've been using 70/30 or 60/40 (PG/VG) in my Nautilus's with the BVC's and haven't had an issue. But, I know that the juices I use are truly at their marked PG/VG ratios (maybe a bit high on the PG side since the base flavors are based with PG).

Any word on a 2.1 ohm Nautilus bvc coil? I see that there's now a 2.1 aspire general coil, but it seems Nautilus' are still stuck with just 1.6 and 1.8 ohms.

Thanks!


edit: Just saw that they are available from fasttech...BUT, they look like generics , and I don't want to buy from that vendor. Hopefully we'll see some locally pop up in the near future.

Exactly

I normally run 30/70 PG/VG mix with my Nautilus BVC heads and haven't any wicking issues, run the same mix with my Atlantis and Subtank as well but with MUCH less nic, learned my lesson the hard way and threw 10mg juice in my Atlantis and almost choked to death, LOL.
