nautilus mini with istick burning taste

[Billy collins]

Hello my name is bill,
I've been vaping for about 3-4 weeks now as I'm trying to give up smoking however ive started getting into the juices and have brought my fare share of 50/50 only recently I brought 2 juices of 70vg/30pg Mixes
Being mothers milk and kyrptonite when I put the mothers milk in and started using it I noticed if I take 2-3 pulls in a couple of seconds I get a burnt taste but this never happened before and this coil has been in less than 2 days is the any advise you guys can give me it would be much appreciated

Also any suggestions on some nice juices ive tryed about 25 but up for trying some peoples favourites !

One more thing what is the best way to clean out the nautilus mini ?
Thanks in advance XD

Cleaning, boil it. Silicone o-rings can take the heat.

Taste with 70/30 is because it cannot wick the juice quick enough. I solved this problem by adding 1-2 drops of water to a full tank. Remember, a little goes a LONG way to thinning the juice a bit. Too much, it will leak.

Hi Bill, in all likelihood you are over drawing the wicking capability of the coil. Higher VG juices will wick slower than the 50/50 so you can't hit them as hard. VG is thicker than the PG. Shopping for juices I'd recommend looking here :

COUPONS - Stores - ECF E-Cigarette Coupons

I clean my Mini by taking it apart and rinsing it out with water (except the coil and bottom). A dip of the top glass in vodka will help to clean off any "oily" residue also.

Good luck in your vape journey.

By a full tank you mean 2ml?
A just a tiny bit of water?
I did notice the juice was a bit thicker than normal but wasn't sure if I could water it down how much water would u suggest per 10ml?

Maybe that's part of the issue I just rinse the lot apart from the battery of course
And I don't let it dry to be honest j take it this is no good for the coil?

hello bill I am not familiar with mothers milk I usually vape 50 /50 but I did have some max Dr fog I think it was called I liked it but it seemed the coil needed to be changed quicker. I love my mini I use q tips to swab out the inside and gently inside the coil to usually every second fill I pull out the coil wipe the end and gently wipe the little springy section - I am a relatively new vaper 3 months so I imagine someone with more info will answer one person said he boiled his coil for 1/2 hour and got better life I have not tried this so can't really speak to it, I also heard soaking in vodka I do think the thicker juices may be a little harder on coils - what battery type do you use

 

[Margate69]

Add it to the tank, not the bottle. Just a couple drops should do it.

VG is like syrup in it's thickness. It is harder to absorb into the wick if your tank isn't designed for it.

4-5 drops at 10ml. If that doens't work add a few more.

Should be just fine with 70/30, I use it exclusively. It has been my experience that once the BVC gives me a burnt hit the subsequent hits will as well, I toss it, start fresh.

Compare the 70/30 to the 50/50 visually then add a drop of water and compare, continue until the 50/50 has the same viscosity....no more than 3 drops per 10ml is my safe guess....the drops are subject to the dropper!

It is a solid tank, there are some you may prefer depending what you like. Is it the 30 watt stick you are using? May want to look at the subtank mini. It works really well in the 20-25 watt range. It all depends what kind of vaping you like.

What tanks are made for high vg liquids ?

Or Isit more so coils that is the difference?

VG liquids are designed for sub ohm builds/tanks. Aspire Atlantis, Kangertech subtank, Arctic subtank etc..

They produce a cloudier vape but may slightly mute the flavors compared to a higher PG mix.

No just 20w

And my kind of vaping is all day vape of 10 pulls over a time of 5 minutes roughly every 2 hours whilst at work (general smoke)
Then I hit it hard when I get home and chill out I like to try different flavours etc..

Any suggestions

I see I was under the impression you got a lot greater juices with a higher vg percentage ...
I take it this isn't the case
And I should really stick with 50/50...
After all I'm looking for flavourful liquids to enjoy !

The Nautilus Mini with the BVC is probably the best clearomizer out yet, once you get the hang of making it work to your liking, you will swear by it. Everyone on EFC has burnt a coil and this experience is the status quo "learning curve".

Many here use the MIni and love it. The best way to approach anything really is too take small steps, in this case use a low power setting and adjust up till you hit the sweet spot. Same goes for the draw you take, take a small draw then increase, again to get the right hit.

The best power is around 12 to 13.5 W....some do use higher but these settings will do the job.

Kangertech Subtank comes with 2 different sets of coils .5 and 1.2. The 1.2 is solid at 15-20 watts in my opinion. It will give much bigger puffs and flavor than you are getting now but you have to decide if the bigger puff is your thing or not.
