IF you ever break the glass tank buy the clone tanks glass. they are actually better. FYI those heads can be rebuilt if you want to save some money. Remember it's a dual coil head so when you dial in say 8 watts your getting 4 watts per head. So you can up the wattage/voltage a bit more than a single coil atty.

I think the nautilus is a fine tank, it really helped me cut down analogs tremendously. I have since moved on to RDA's and RBA's and build my own coils and am analog free for 13 days (and proudly counting!). Having said that, the nautilus always travels with me, just in case something goes wrong with my builds. Very reliable, love the airflow control and provides very good flavor - great tank if you ask me!

steved5600 yeah my aspire et-s bdc is dual coil and I've had it since the beginning I really like the dual coil setup. I ordered the stainless replacement tank with the nautilus so no worries on breakage. As for rebuilding I'm still a relative noob so I don't think I'm ready for that step yet but someday soon I will take a crack at it
Pete congrats on the 2 week mark analog free! Glad to hear positive feedback on the nautilus I did a lot of research and didnt see any dealbreaker negatives on it, mainly peole criticizing the look of it
Stierwalt3 I'm glad to hear someone with a matching setup is happy with it I can't wait to get mine set up
Aspire is now offering the Nautilus with a SS tank as a standard item. Just saw a video on it at Indoor Smokers.
Soon it will be available as an Add-On. And more then likely a little less expensive that the aftermarket SS tank.
Personally I am retiring my Nautilus as I have gotten into Kayfun clones. No real comparison.

Keep knocking! I used my Nautilus for a couple of months before I encountered an issue with heads that worked fine for a day or so and then started rising in resistance until the tank was unusable. My 1.8 ohm heads would suddenly go to around 2.4, then 3 ohms, and finally rise to 4 ohms, at which point raising the voltage didn't produce a decent vape anymore. One went completely open. I verified all the resistances using my ohm meter and a separate VV mod.
I'm wondering it anyone else has seen this happen. I went out and bought the Kanger Aerotank a couple of days ago out of frustration. I was tired of changing $3+ heads every day or two because they went from 1.8 ohms up to 3 or 4 ohms.
Well.
Interesting about that coil problem, I had that problem with my Protank 3.
So far no problems with the Nautilus, very impressed with its rugged design and ease of use.
Compared to my leaky ligtweight Aerotank Mega, it's a Tonka compared to a chinese plastic truck.
Im loving it but... been thru too many to innocently think it'll work forever. So I'll keep y'all posted.
Happy vaping !

-DJ Colonel Corn-I hear your frustration brother and just hope the Nautical Gods keep smiling down on me..lol
I do have that same experience with rising ohms on some coils, but it's only after about 2 weeks of use and constant cleaning. I use that, and also flavor change, as a mark the coil needs to be tossed. I'm on my third 5 pack of coils and have luckily only experienced one coil being bad out of the package. When I checked the ohms, after noticing it not producing vapor, it read .7 on my MVP. I kept it for some strange reason in my juice box.... perhaps I'm hoping it will magically fix itself, dunno.

(Who's knocking extra hard now)
I found a major dealbreaker if I was to be buying a nautilus. There is a very bad clone out there and its being sent to unsuspecting vendors. When you check the authenticity number it can have hundreds if hits on that number. I'd be wary about buying a nautilus now unless the vendor can prove its genuine.
i think the heads are terrible, ive had my Nautilus for a month and havent had any consistent luck with it, im using an Evic and im atarting to think its that because everyone says how good the Nauty is, i cant get a good flavor out of Bobas Bounty, or Five Pawns Gambit or Grandmaster, nothing but problems from mine, good vapor but no flavor
I'm seeing a similar issue with my new Aerotank. It's not as bad as the Nautilus, but after a day or so the resistance begins rising. It danced around 2.4 on a 2 ohm coil and I didn't worry. Then, this after noon it started rising incrementally as I vaped. I stopped at 3.4v and installed a new one. I'll break it down when I get time and see if the grommet is burning where the wire passes through. That's the only suspect I have at this point.
Maybe whoever supplies the grommets for the coil and head makers has cheapened the stock. If there's a dark line at the pass point, we have the culprit. The more you use it after that point, the higher the resistance climbs. When catastrophic failure occurs at the junction, an open occurs. What else could it be? We are talking about a coiled up piece of wire with the legs held in place by some sort of flexible grommet that exerts pressure on the wire to provide consistent contact with the body and the center pin.
Maybe the head manufacturers don't like that fact that we can recoil and they are cheapening the grommets to last only one typical usage cycle. If you don't have the grommet, you can't rebuild. Word may be getting to China that they could sell more heads if they didn't last so dang long. My supplier is a little concerned because she has a huge stock of heads and wonders if they are all like that. She bought in quantity first quarter to get a price break. I had 6 of 8 do this on my Nautilus in three days and stopped with two unused so she could check them out and confirm a problem. I got credit and spent it on the Aerotank and also bought two 5 packs of heads for it.

Has anyone had any trouble with the metal replacement tank on the nautilus not fitting correctly?
My nautilus tank (bought a month ago) doesn't do that. Neither do the heads I bought at the same time.
A new vaper at work asked me about them and I said they were the best next to an RBA (which I now use).
He bought one and is having the exact same problem.
I gave him one of my known good heads and he's not having an issue.
I think you may be on to something. From what I've read, the replacement heads were hit or miss when the tank was first released. Maybe they're mostly a miss now...
