Im just getting started into vaping. Been using a Kanger Evod, pretty cheap but works good for me. I keep reading you guys and gals talk about the nautilus mini paired with an istick. Am I missing out on a better vape? I am really enjoying getting into this and I would much rather get something Im gonna enjoy for a long time than stair stepping my way up, buying a lot of stuff I will end up not being happy with in the process!

If I do order a nautilus mini and an istick, any sites recommended that sell both products at a reasonable price with good shipping deals? Thanks so much, this site is great! This vaping stuff is a little complicated for a beginner :)

The question shouldn't be are you missing out, but is it not working for you?

The Istick is a great little regulated mod that allows a pretty wide range of voltage/wattage for just such a tank like the mini. My wife currently has two of these mods and uses Protank 3 minis on them and loves them! I think the Nautilus would be a good match for it too.

I won the exact setup you refer to in a holiday contest one of our local shops was running for Christmas. I liked it enough to pick up the same combination for my wife. It is a nice setup to compliment our current rig's which are iPV 2S's. Check local shops and online vendors for boxing day/week sales. I paid $65cdn for the iStick and mini tank combo. The nice thing about the tank is that it is not limited to use on just the iStick.
 
There is an immense thread running about the stick in the "APV" forum. Can take the rest of the day to read it all. :) :p

I have exactly this combo for two month now and don´t regret it. In fact i would even recommend it to an absolute newcomer. Just make sure that you start with low Volts or Watts. Also let the head/coil soak in the liquid for at least 15 minutes. All new heads in the Nautilus have to get "vaped in" with low voltage/wattage. After the first 2 ml you can go a little bit higher and so on till you find your sweet spot.

Don´t bother with volts or watts, these are only numbers. Just run it how it suits you, it´s that easy. Personally i vape at least 4 ml with it a day and a coil lasts me three weeks easily. Of course that depends on your liquid. With my self mixed 55PG/35VG/10% H²o and mint, lemon, apple liquid i have no problems. If you use more chocolate stuff and heavy liquids the coils starts clogging a lot more early.

If you want to save the tear and wear on the 510 thread of the stick just order the bending adapter as well. It makes yout istick a bit more pocket friendly as well.

Can´t help you with links and pictures of my combo as i´m as new here as you are, haha. But have a look at the before mentioned thread and you will see it all. I never had any problems with this combo.

Happy vaping, Rainer :toast:

Ooops, just have a look at my avatar and you see it. :D

Ooooops.... and get a package of 5 spare coils as well. Otherwise you are stranded like a smoker without a lighter! :blink:

Of course the BVC ones as they give a smoother vape. May be you can get a mixture between 1,6 and 1,8 Ohm coils for your own experiments. I prefer the 1,8 Ohm ones vaping between 8-12 Watts. Depending on the liquid. With these you can go up to 14 Watts. In my experience going higher results in getting a burning taste. Others go happily beyond so it´s completely up to your personal taste.

Just enjoy it, Rainer :)
