nautilus mini airflow problem...?

[arken21]

I previously used aerotank mini and with max airflow setting, i can get airflow more than enough.
today i received the nautilus mini, it produces create flavor and cloud. However, the airflow just really bad! For those of you had bubble tea before, imagine a tapioca got stuck between the straw, that's what it feels like.


I'm currently vaping Bombie Nana cream, so tasty! but just feels different without good airflow
am i doing something wrong? I even wash every part of the tank and blow dried them, still no help

I've never experienced that problem with my Nauti minis. Could just be the heaviness of the juice you're vaping. Are you certain you're on the largest air hole?
I also use an aero mini, so I am familiar with both.

i'm vaping Bombie's Nana cream...you think it's the coil?

 

[Augmented Dog]

The coils can take a while to fully prime. Not familiar with your brand, but a thicker juice could affect the ease of the pull.
What device are you using? Is it a variable?

 

[arken21]

what does full prime mean?
I'm using some cheap ego device, can go up to 4.8

full prime means letting the coils soak for about 2 minutes after filling the tank before firing. Fill the tank, put it back together, flip upright, let sit for 2 minutes, enjoy. The wick inside the coil has to be fully saturated before use or you will get a dry hit and burn the wick.

I use the full size Nautilus with 30pg/70vg in one tank and 50/50 in another. The 30/70 works but you can't chain vape easily. The higher the vg the thicker the juice will be.

One note, I had the problem you described, then I noticed I was either on too small of an air hole or between two air holes ( air closed off).

I just hit my girlfriends Nautilus mini on hole #3 and hole #4. Hugh difference between the two with air flow.

Looking at the airflow adjustment, each setting has a dot above it, the dots represent the size of the air hole your on.

Drill the smallest air hole to 1/8...much better...I even know a guy that drilled his all the way through...two 1/8 air holes now...Same goes for the regular nautilus

I was thinking about doing this because after I started dripping the mini feels positively anemic in terms of airflow. However, I am now about to pitch the this out the window because the coils keep flooding. It's really irking my nerves. I've run 50/50 and 80/20. Makes no diff. One good hit after letting it set for hours then it's flood city. I'm changing coils every four or five days here. I can't figure out what the deal is. They were fine on the coils that came with them, but once I started using the replacements this started happening. And yes the scratch off shows the replacement box was e real deal, but they've ALL been a pain in the patoot. I have two left. I'm seriously hoping I just got a bad batch because is is ridiculous. Any ideas?

I'm the same way. I've bought an Aerotank Turbo and an RDA after purchasing my nautiluses. I can hardly use them because I am used to a lot more air.

I ordered one of these. Can't wait for it to come in so the Nautis can be relegated to backup status.

The Kanger aerotanks have a better airflow that the nautilus I own both. Some ppl like the tighter draw as they get more flavor

NoName Mods BF-99. I ordered a clone by Infinite for $34.99 from Eciggity. The authentic is only available from EU sources from my searching and runs @ $190

ETA: I also figured out I can't vape my juices over 8w in my Nautis. So not utterly useless anymore, but maybe I've outgrown them? We'll see how the BF-99 goes though I'm expecting to have to drill out the 1mm air hole on it.

That one escaped me I never heard of it before. I'm in the UK so will have to have a look around. Is it a genesis or silica atty? Looks genny?

It is Genny. The makers are out of Italy. I saw a few EU sites with it in stock for 150-155£

Not sure about silica, but it does cotton and mesh. The white is a very easy to scratch off non-conductive ceramic coating.

Usual genny question from me..does it leak? Take that back, all genny's leak but how bad does this one leak?

I've not read of or seen videos of anyone complaint about leaking. In fact, I've seen a couple folks say it's very pocketable which is why I wanted it. That and it's very short. I'm too adhd to commit to more than 2ml of juice of a single flavor lol in fact the tank portion is set up to vacuum much like the Nauti.

 

[Pclarity]

FYI after filling a handful of times. The BF-99 definitely does not leak unless you over fill it. Bit of a pain to set up due to the knurled post screws, and it DEFINITELY needs to be drilled out. Calipers read the air hole at 1.5mm with 1mm clearance before you hit the bottom of the top cap. So you can bring it up to at least 2.0mm. But it's only ONE hole. Other than that, pretty good Genny.
