RIP Trippers did a breakdown as well. He has concerns about the ceramic cloth. He said it feels gritty or sandy and is wondering if we are inhaling tiny particles of something that perhaps we should not. Did it feel gritty to you?

I've been unable to find out what the filler wick is made of. Aspire says nothing of it being Ceramic and I know it will burn similar to polyfill. I do know that these things Vape like a Beast..

Hi everyone, some interest was expressed in seeing what these interesting new heads would look like after some vape-time. Here's a close-up look.
This video is by Paulie Meatballs a reviewer out of the U.K.​


I'm still not convinced. It's a cartomizer with all the pitfalls of cartos. Difficult to clean and to dry to change flavors, they vape like crazy but for the price get some cartotanks and vape on!

Prices should come down.
Cleaning to change Flavors never made Sense to me on a Carto or A head like these. Simpler to assign each head to a Flavor until it fails.:)

So far what I have been doing is rotating 2 heads. I clean one out and let it dry a couple of days while I use the other one. Then I clean that one and use the cleaned one. So far so good.

I don't use just my nautilus exclusivly though...I have 3 Kayfuns that I use too so it doesn't see all day action,

See? I love changing flavors and I rarely had more than 2 or 3 cartotanks at a time. Back with KR808D I did do that, I love changing flavors two or three times a week.

Nice video!

When I was a kid we played that same music at the funeral of my hamster Squeak. His passing was strangely welcomed due to his constant jail breaks out of his Habitrail at 2 AM. His two inch fangs always found their mark, even when I wore yard gloves that looked more like welders mitts on my little hands. He was a scary, dreadlocked covered devil that still invokes fear when I think about him.

RIP Squeak, gone but not forgotten.

I never bothered to try and clean my cartos from my cartotanks. That was part of the appeal to me. They lasted longer, vaped better, and there wasn't any maintenance. Coils lasted so much less time that I spent a lot of time trying to save them.

The appeal here is I think the Mini combines what's best about cartotanks and clearos. You get a cartotank type vape with what will hopefully be the same life span as a carto in a cartotank, and the convenience of filling a clearo. Many people never leave the clearo stage due to the convenience of them, and this way they can experience a better vape.
