I got the nautilus Mini yesterday. I love it! It has gurgled a few times but I can fix it quickly. I'm wondering if a higher VG ratio would help prevent it - VG is thicker, right? So my logic is concluding that a thicker fluid would be less likely to flood the atomizer. I've been using only 50/50 PG/VG. Any thoughts?

Vg is thicker, but my experience, there are things other than thin juice that can cause gurgle. Try taking apart everything that can come apart, use q tips or twisted tissue to soak up any liquid you can get to, gently blow through to clear any liquid in the air inlet or other spots to small to get at. Once you're sure it's as dry as you're gonna get it, put it all back together and refill. If the gurgle doesn't even pause, it might be the coil, but vg is cheap, so that's not an expensive fix to try at least. Going too thick with those little holes can less to dry hits/burnt coils though.
Possibly could still gurgle if theres not enough power to vaporise the liquid or the liquid is getting somewhere where it can be vaporised.
After refilling and putting the tank back together have the air holes closed then open up to smallest air hole and take some primer puffs.
If gurgles just turn it upside down over the sink , fire it and blow through an air hole. If problem persists then look it over again for problems.

One thing that helped me get rid of the gurgling, was how you refill the tank. When refilling, close off the airflow holes. Keep them closed until, you are done refilling, and have screwed the base back on to the tank. I saw that tip on youtube. Never had a problem since.
Or flick it as if casting a fishing rod but hold on tight or you'll throw it instead. best do it outside that removes any juice then roll up some tissue and poke it down the centre hole to get rid of the rest. You can do both these actions or just one if I'm outside I flick if I'm inside I poke.
When I used one, it was a power issue. It wicks really well, maybe too well. So you have to up the power to burn the juice off that it's taking on otherwise it floods out.
That's probably true that upping the power well reduce the gurgle, but be careful, it is a trade off. On my nautilus, going from 3.4 v to 3.8 v means reducing my coil life from a couple months, to about a week.
I never had any luck with more than 60%VG juice in my Nauti. It would dry hit. I chain vaped it like I was getting paid for it though. Also, it was REALLY bad about flooding a little when it was hot outside. All tanks are susceptible to quick changes in temp, but of everything I've had, the Nautilus was the worst.
I know I've mentioned it in other threads. But it actually worked. The first few days I had the Nautilus, the gurgling was driving me crazy. I was looking all over youtube for a solution, and lucked out finding it.
Thanks for the input everyone. I got my new mod and some new juices in the mail today, so we'll see if those help 
I had that problem with one of mine. The coil was loose. Make sure they are tight. I'm using 80vg/20pg with no problems.
