I own a 5ml nautilus and have had so many problems with it that I have just ordered a mini a few hours ago. My suggestion is go with the mini, everyone says that they're the same but my nautilus leaks all the time, definitely go with the nautilus mini and be careful what juices you use in the BVC's. You want to have not too thick (high VG), not too sugary/sweet and not too colourful juices, because honestly it's these ones that ruin the bottom vertical coils in the nautilus. Just some advice!

I really don't recommend you go with a Nautilus. The new line of Kangar BDC coils are far superior. T3'D, Aerotank, EVOD2, Mini Protank 3, Genitank, etc. You will get a much finer, smoke like vapor. Even with an eGo CE4 will give a better vapor.

I started with Nautilus Mini, have 2 of them. The vapor the produce is wet, larger droplets than anything else I've tried. My lungs started getting congested and I started hacking like I did when I smoked.

I could tell the difference right away when I picked up a T3'D to try out new flavors. I quickly bought 2 more and switched my main eliquids to those tanks.

If I try to use my Nautilus Mini's I can feel the droplets in my mouth, back of my throat. I can't use them anymore.

Easy to test for yourself, T3'D is all you need and they are only about 6.50. I'd trade both my mini's any day for 2 more, but then I wouldn't want anyone to go through that.

Let me guess....

7-10 watts, right?



Nautilus with a 1.8ohm coil at 19 watts.....




I'll guarantee you the Kanger coils can't do that. I know, because I own an Aerotank. And when it comes to flavor there simply is no competition at all, the Nautilus BVC coils blows the Kangers right out of the water.

I just mounted up a Nautilus on my mod, set it to 20 w, ran a few vapes, did the same with my other one, and no the Kanger is far superior in vapor quality and taste. Nautilus is more like a "spray". I can still feel it in my throat. The uncooked eliquid that is.

Kanger gives you a vapor and doesn't spray a bunch of liquid in your mouth.

Now I have a sore throat. I need to just throw these crappy Nautilus Tanks away.

Different people like different things, that's all there is to it. I have been comparing a Subtank Nano I have with the Nautilus Mini, lately, and I note that the Nano seems to produce a "dryer," or perhaps "finer," vapor than the Mini. But since lung hitting the Nano, I am coughing a lot more than when I only used the Mini. So, while I love the cloud production of the Nano, I may just be a Nautilus-guy. Probably just a Ford vs. Chevy type of argument.

Say, don't throw those crappy tanks away, I'll take them. :D

I can assure you that you've NEVER run an Aerotank at 20W. EVER.

If you did you would probably vomit from the extremely burned crap that came out the top. I've got an Aerotank sitting right behind me, and that thing burns the same juice at 12W that I'm using in my Nautilus at 19 watts. The Kanger coils have two mid-sized oval shaped holes to let liquid into the wicks, the Nautilus has 4 large round holes it's its cotton BVC coils. Each hole in the Nautilus is larger than the Kanger, and it has twice as many holes. The Kanger coils can't get juice to the coil fast enough to handle 20W.

There is a reason mine is dry and collecting dust. It just plain sucks compared to the Nautilus.



And your T3D at 20W? Don't make me laugh. I own a pair of T3Ds as well and they aren't even remotely capable of handling 20W. 7-10W max. Fit for an ego, not for a 30+W mod. It fact they're Ego threaded which pretty much says it all. They're designed to be used on a low watt low voltage Ego battery. They can't handle 20W.

Yea cause 20w gets you a better vape doesn't it. If you want hotter vape you'd put a .8 ohm coil in your aerotank.

That's why there are 1.8 to .8 coils for them.

The tank is nice, the coils just produce a substandard vapor. I can get a far better vapor quality from a CE4.

The sore throat I get when I use a Nautilus is the same one I get when I use nicotine gum or lozenges. It comes from liquid nicotine.

But how am I getting liquid nicotine from a tank that is so good. The nautilus is the only tank I have problems with.

You could simply spray the juice in your mouth with a spray bottle much cheaper.
