Nautilus Mini BVC trouble.

[IronJaguar]

So I bought a nautilus Mini, got it in the mail, filled her up, waiting about 10-15 minutes for it to saturate the wick, primer puffs too!

And all I got was Dry, burnt tasting, flavor muted, gross hits.... Like it was a HUGE disappointment, so I switched to the other coil head provided, it was a little little bit better, still hardly any flavor and dry as can be...

So what do I do?

 

[IronJaguar]

Can anyone help?

What are you using as a power source and what voltage/wattage are you running?

Also what resistance heads did your unit come with? (usually 1.8 ohms afaik)

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Aspire nautilus or clone / fake?
What power device are you using? VV / VW? what power levels have you tried?
Pg / Vg ratio?
Sweet, dark or thick juice?

Using a half charged Ego-T battery, It's an authentic Nautilus mini, 50/50 VG PG, And thinner clear juice.

The battery doesnt have VV/VW , still waiting on my battery for my Hana Modz clone

Hmm, so you're obviously not overpowering it and the juice shouldn't be an issue.

What airflow setting are you using?

Only thing i can think of is to move to a smaller airflow hole to try increase the amount of vacuum generated inside the chamber with each draw, thereby improving the wicking (hopefully).

Also maybe try removing and reinstalling the coil, making sure the coil is only 'snug' in the base, for some reason i feel like over-tightening the coil in the base caused more dry hits on my mini, when i still had it.

Tried all of them, also tried loosening the coil... :/

Has there been any consensus on the safety of these coils yet? I just ordered some but after doing a bit of reading it seems a lot of people are worried about getting fiberglass in their lungs.

Try not to overtighten the base onto the tank after filing, tighten until snug, it wont leak. I had several issues with that on all three of my Nautilus tanks until I read it somewhere. They have been flawless since then.

I always put a few drops of juice on a new coil until it just starts to come out the holes it flows into... proves they are clear and then I screw it into the base. But I've not been completely pleased with the Nautilus in either form (gurgles, floods, leaks and I have read and taken all the advice). Sometimes it works really well but often enough it doesn't. The new BVC coils seem to like 13.5 watts where the BDCs like less.

How can you get fiberglass in your lungs from something that contains no fiberglass.

I just tried out my first aspire bdc right now and mine is the same. I'm using a non vv battery, and all I get is burnt metal tasting. I'm not sure what's going on.
Hope it's ok I add in to this thread, didn't think it was necessary to start a new one

I'm so unfamiliar with these coils, I'm familiar with my evod, or mini protank 3.

It's crushed ceramic woven into a tiny blanket that snugs up around the vertical coil with a micro screen on top. Every time I vape them I think about that crumbly ceramic but it performs so well that I keep on vaping.

Mandy, mine never taste burnt. For some reason you are not getting juice flow to the coil. Did you manually drip some juice down the coil barrel and watch it ooze out of the bottom holes?

 

[Mandy88]

Huh? . I'll try. Lol
I think I should have done some more research before trying, I just assumed it was as easy as my others.

Maybe it's not fiberglass but it's tiny shards of ceramic. Does that not concern you?

Those BVC coils do love the higher watts. But I can get them to taste good at about 8 watts. Primer Puffs on it are needed on new coils. Close the air holes and suck about 10 times, also a little juice down the coil does seem to help.

No not a bit, saturated wicking material isn't going anywhere.

Did you do a scratch and check with your bvc coils and Nautilus mini???? If the BVC coil isn't working you got a dud or a clone they work flawlessly

I had the same issue. I bought a 5-pack of BVC 1.8ohm for my nautilus mini and every one in the pack had a horrible metallic taste. I emailed the company I purchased them from for suggestions and while I was waiting for a return email, I read, and read, on ECF an looked on youtube for what I should do. I was panicking because I only had one set up and had only been vaping again for a short while. I did not want to give in and go buy any analog's.

Luckily, I had purchased them from a great business and he sent me a new pack and I sent him back the ones that tasted so horrible so he could look into it more. After trying EVERYTHING suggested and nothing helped, the outcome was considered to be a quality issue. ...It can happen, even with the best of products

Since then I have purchased numerous more and they have been great so far.

Tried everything that I was told BUT They're still not perfect. Maybe a 3/10 with the nautilus bdc coils being a 5/10 on my list.... What should I do? Email aspire or the company I bought it from? Buy new coils maybe?
