Nautilus Mini spitting?

[meredithlacey]

okay so i hope i'm posting this in the right place, but i have a nautilus mini that i've had since december and i just bought a new coil for it yesterday from my trusted local vape shop and it was working okay at first, but then it started gurgling and spitting juice into my mouth

this isn't the first time it's done this, i actually stopped using it for a while because of this problem (and the coils were old, so i thought that's what was causing it) but i just put a new coil in and it's still happening...

i have scoured the internet for reasons why this might be happening and i've tried every trick in the book and nothing has worked

PLEASE HELP!

It sounds like your coil head is flooded.

Try turning your entire setup upside down and start vaping. Doing so will allow you to vaporize the excess eliquid in your coil head while preventing extra eliquid from getting to the wick. Alternatively, you can also try taking your tank apart and soaking up any excess liquid in the coil and the chimney (the tube that leads from the coil head to your drip tip) with a paper towel or Q-Tip.

Take the Mini apart, unscrew the coil, soak all parts apart from the coil in warm water for 5
minutes.

Wipe the coil with a paper towel and clean out with a Q tip. Clean out the base the coil screws into with a Q Tip. Re-assemble, screwing the coil in tightly.

Screw the glass tightly to the base, fill and Toot.

I've had it happen to me. There are a couple of things I've done to fix it. If you have any VG, add a little bit to your juice. These coils wick so well when new that they tend to flood. It may take a day or so vaping with it to get a proper wick going. Another technique I tried was blowing out right before an inhale as if it were an rda. This may be against other advice but it stopped spitting and it worked for me.

Or turn upside down, let all juice leave coil head, blow out excess juice that sounds as tho it's filled the air holes. Had a customer bring theirs in today with the same symptoms

I don't know if you've done this already, but you could try taking the drip tip off, covering the hole with a paper towel, and sling that thing all over the place. I use this method quite a bit on both my nautilus mini (happens a lot on that) and my aspire atlantis when it decides to get juicy. Always works for me.

Turning upside down only allows more juice to seep inside the outer sleeve between the coil casing. Just grab a paper towel and place it over the air hole and blow into the mouthpiece, use the largest setting.

Now for why this may be happening....the tighter the draw you are set at the more juice you will suck in, try using the largest bore. You may hit the draw real hard also, try easing up, smoother hits and draw longer. But if you are a good sport, being you are a female....don't suck so hard! . And lastly, what ratio of PG/VG is being used, if 100% PG it just may be a too thin? This I doubt very much is the case but.......

Another thing you can do is remove the drip tip and remove any residual juice in the bore it sits in, also use a Q tip in the drip tip.

The outer sleeve this threaded and thus gets screwed onto the coil casing. The amount of liquid that gets past the threads during a couple of upside down hits is minimal at best.

This was happening to me just a minute ago and I remembered to blow out before hitting. Cleared it right up. I was a little rough with my tank while driving earlier but my flooding didn't start until 20 minutes ago.

I run the min's exclusively for my ADV and have had the same issue from time to time. I have particularly with my recent change in juice mixture: 50/50. Never really experienced it with 65/35. My findings is this: with the 50/50 mix I need to run my iStick at 10.4 watts (4.2 volts) anything less and it gurgles after some time. Believe this or not, with the 65/35 or 70/30 (pg/vg) I can run at 8.6 watts without issue.

What's my answer to the problem when it happens, wrap a paper towel around it and give it a good blow 4-5 times (take it off your battery first) and dry it off. Jack your watts way up and hit it a few times, then return it to "normal" watts. Bet it works for you! Another thing comes to mind, if you haven't gotten a new coil since December, you likely had the old ceramic style coil, and now have the new cotton style coil, they do wick differently.

Take the tank off your mod, wrap in paper towel shake hard several times with the drip tip facing down where the juice gets caught in the paper towel. Wipe tank of excess juice. Screw back on mod and Vape. Works every time to fix flooding. Hope this helps!

I asked a few others about this and I was told that this happens more often with the 1.8 ohm BVC coils. The 1.6 coils have a slightly larger coil and burns just a bit hotter. I used the 1.6 coil that my Naut came with and never had any of the gurgling or spitting. I still haven't tried it yet but my next step is to build a 1.6 coil. I'll post my results.

i used to have the original nautilus and it did stuff like that all the time. I would take it off the mod flip it upside down and blow air up through it will pull the floaded juice out. I had so many problems with those i had a couple that found there way to the trash can. hope you get yours to work properly
