Nautilus coil life span

[Cowboy192]

Ok I see plenty of people talking about how many days or weeks they get from their nautilus coils,
but to be honest that means nothing to me, I seem to go through coils a lot faster than people on here, so...
heres my question, how long do your coils live?
not in days (as you may only be taking a hundred puffs a day) but in ml, what amount of fluid are you putting through yours, what type of juice and what power level?

heres what I'm finding with my nautilus coils
bryces vanilla custard, loss of strong flavour after 10-15ml @ 9w (heavily vaped in the evenings)
chefsvapor ry4, loss of flavour after about 15-20ml @ 9w (my adv and I chain vape all day on the road)
nicoticket gcd, only got through about 10ml but starting to loose some of the sweetness (only really vape it with a cup of coffee)
nicoticket virus (not sure yet)

does this his seem normal to any other nautilus users or am I just being super fussy or expecting too much from my coils?

Nope, my experience same as yours. People who get 2 wks from one coil must take a hit once an hr. I chain vape only light fruity 70/30 ejuice thru these coils at 4.3 volts or 9 watts and feel lucky if I get a partial 3 days out of one.

I tend to chain vape when I'm using my nautilus mini, usually running 10 watts on a 50/50 or 65/35 blend. I'm getting anywhere from 20 to 30 ml out of each coil.

I just started using the Nautilus on my iStick about two weeks ago, and I've yet to change a coil after vaping Halo Malibu and MTB Solar Flare exclusively. I've been through at least 6-7 tanks now, and haven't noticed any difference in flavor or amount of vapor.

Taste and vape pleasure level is highly subjective.

Are you asking about BDC or BVC heads?

What are the ratios of the juice ? I'm vaping Bionic vapor custard assault 50/50 Amber color. I'm getting 50 mls out of the coils. 11 watts / 4.6 volts.
Also some fruit juices getting 40+ mls with the same settings.
Five Pawns castle long reserve 50/50 40 mls.
I've been using these coils since August. Prior to that I was using some Kayfuns and Russians.
I rarely use them anymore.
When the coils first came to the market they were lasting 20-15% longer than what I currently get.
I think higher VG ratios will kill the coils faster.
I'm good for 6-7 mls a day everyday. I chase flavor not clouds.
I agree it's the volume of juice not the time lapse between coil changes that are the best measure.

Because you like a good clean vape every vape. I statute you.

Got a friend and his wife into vaping and I went by in a month and asked him for his used coils to rebuild for him. He said he had none and I looked at his wifes tank and the juice was black as tar. Husband said our coils still vape. I washed out his wife's and put in a new coil, fresh juice and when she vaped it she said, I love it as that is how it vaped when we first got them. Looked at husband and said you clean yours when ever you want to. LOL

Are you asking about BDC or BVC heads?

What he said.


BDC coils dont last very long at all, plus they cant handle mid-high wattage.


What voltage are you running the coils at? What Mod box are you using?

 

[bigrf85]

i run at 15 watts on my nautilus and get almost a month out of each coil

 

[CrystalSoul]

Yeah it depends on the Coil type really.

I noticed that on the BDC coils i couldn't go above 4 volts on a 1.6ohm coil otherwise i would start to get a burning taste.

On the BVC coils im using 1.8 ohm coils and vaping strong at 13 watts (i think that 4.8 volts) and could probably go higher if my mod didnt max at 13watts

 

[Cowboy192]

Running the bvc coils (Don't like the bdc) a mix of 1.6 and 1.8s, I use an mvp2 that pretty much lives at 9w
Pretty much all my juice is 50/50

 

[Topwater Elvis]

I'm vaping a BVC now that has over 90ml's of 2 different tobacco flavors 50/50 6mgnic clear non sweet / no sweeteners, no loss in flavor or vapor no reason to change head yet. 12.5w ~ 15w. The resistance has increased from 1.84 new to where it is now at 2.11.
Using authentic aspire bvc heads, at the least very close to 90 ml, usually more than 90ml's has been 'normal' for me using the above juices.

With green apple watermelon (coil killer) 50/50 6mgnic I get 20 - 30ml's before it needs to be changed. 11.1w ~ 13.5w.
Same flavor in any other clearo head lasts 8ml's at most, in a carto 12 - 15 ml's at most.

If your juice is sweet or dark or colored or thick I doubt you'll get the same life.
