Those are a bit pricier than discountvapers and a couple others I've seen. They do have them in stock though. Are you asking if I've ever been to a B&M in Ithaca? No I haven't, I'm about 2.5 hours from Ithaca, 70 miles south of Buffalo in a small city called Olean. Pronounced Oh-lee-anne. I will definitely eventually get a carto and I was thinking about trying out a cheaper one first. I'm pretty sure I will like it though.

I love IBTanked ... just ordered 2 more tanks and 60 cartos for them ... I now will have 4 tanks (you can store filled tanks with cartos in the thingys they ship in).
IMO ... best option for trouble free Vape and go ... and the $2.50 drip tip refilling tool is a must have item

I have the Nautilus and love it also!!! No gurgling, clean taste and 5ml (glass)tank is nice. The only bad part is the price of atomizers and limited carriers. I use the 1.8ohm's because I can use a higher voltage with them. I took it to the local vape shop and let them check it out and they loved it also. Again all these choices and it comes down to personal preference. Anyway, 2 weeks using it and thinking about ordering another.
How do the coils last? How much can you run through them before the vapor production starts to diminish? I'm hoping I can get some decent life out of them.

I vape about 6 mls a day and I get about 1.5 weeks from my Nautilus heads before needing to rinse them. It will depend on what type of juice that you use as well. Some are more clogging than others.
Nothing at all wrong with it but, I get a kick out of the fact that people are going back to cartos and tanks lol When I first started vaping, we had Boge cartos and attys only. Then came carto tanks. Now, we have great fillerless clearos available and people just seem to be going backwards.
Just an observation is all

i go back and forth between my IBTank and protank 2. You could always buy one later. Some days I like the draw of the carto better etc. I was just saying size wise since the MVP can get top heavy. I'm still hoping for a "new" innokin device the MVP/VTR merge. The battery life size and weight of the MVP with the tank and button location of the VTR.
This is the best price I've found on the replacement heads

I went from clero's to carto tank's to Rebuildables and use mainly Rebuildables dripping atomizer's and Kayfun now
my friend who's new to vaping and got into the Nautilus
let me try his
I have to say its a 100x better then the T3's evod and protank's I've used
I also just recently got rid of my carto tanks that see no use at all anymore
If I had a Nautilus instead I moght have kept it as a back up as it has good flav and easy 2 second to change coil
with carto tanks the flav is really good with some flavs but others lose their complexity
It can be a pain to prime the carto
not a terrible pain if your using them all the time
but for me its just as easy to rebuild a kayfun that taste much better
but a Nautilus would be as easy as just changing the coil which makes it a better back up
And as far as flav its right on par or better then carto tanks
If I were doing it all over today the Nautilus would be my clero stage and I would skip the carto tank stage
and go right to Rebuildables

I went from atomizers with cartridges to dripping to cartomizers to clearomizers, then back to carts, then carto tanks, then clearomizers, then rba's, and now clearomizers/glassomizers with the Nautilus. For ease of use and flavor, vapor, etc... I would vote for the Nautilus. Carto tanks are good but for me lacked consistency. The Nautilus is consistency defined, I get about 1 week out of each head, vaping 3-4ml/day. The only downside is the price of the replacement heads/coils, but I expect that to go down with time. Also, you should search around, both here and elsewhere, sometimes people run co-ops that will bring the price down significantly.
As always, YMMV, different strokes for different folks.

I saw reviews of the IBTanked & saw tht it doesnt vape correctly with the Hcigar specs? Is it true? Im researching 4 carto-tanks tht is easy & perfectly commodates my incoming HCigar nemesis. Any suggestions? Im not rdy 4 RBA's yet as im learning 1 at a time, thx!!
Well I won a little bit of money at the casino tonight and could technically order an IBTanked now but I think I should have replacement coils for the Nautilus before I buy something else so I'm just going to do that and keep a little money. Papeshfoo...thanks for the link. That's the ONLY site I can find that has them in stock. Have you dealt with them before? I think I'll end up going through them. Not a bad price either. Thanks for the link!

Well I ordered a 5 pack of replacement coils from kidneypuncher and with a 5% off coupon code it was under $18 shipped. Not too bad I guess. More expensive than others but if they're really that much better it's worth it in my opinion. Only like $3 more than a 5 pack of iclear30s heads. I hope the Nautilus impresses me. I think I've watched almost all the reviews out there on it. I will save my old coils so if/when I get into building my own I'll have them. I have yet to try that but I've been vaping just under 4 months. I'm sure it'll come in due time.

IBTanked for sure, they are slick and really good quality. Nautilus dual coils are annoying and expensive. It worked the short time I had it, but I really despise dual coils, they don't work as good as single coils for me.
Well I got the Nautilus today. So far I am pretty happy with it. I'm not getting QUITE as much vapor as I expected but the vapor production is good. Overall I like it. My next bigger purchase will be an IBTanked. Most likely a 22mm with stainless caps. Is there anyone out there with both? How's the flavor and vapor compare between the two?

I don't think you would go wrong with either tank. They both are reviewed well and should perform great. Go with the one that looks best to you. Or do what many do and get one of each!
Ive owned and used solely an ibtanked for 6 months on a mech with Boge LR cartos. I managed to snag a nautilus and to say the least its not a bad clearo, i ruined my heads rather quickly though. And now its back to the trusty ibtanked carto tank setup. If you want pure reliability and consistency a carto tank is the way to go. If you want to fiddle for a great vape get a clearo lol
