And another thing about using different tanks, you might need different levels of juice for them, as they will vape differently. I would say to get 2 of the same kind, be it the nautilus or the Subtank.


I think I have decided on the Eleaf iStick 40W battery and the Nautilus tank. I hope the tank is not too complicated to fill. I want 2 so that I always have one ready to go. I will get more tanks later. I like to vape different flavors so it's nice to have extra tanks. :) My husband got laid off in March and I'm spending more by constantly buying carts that don't last long so this is my big splurge. :)

I think it's a great decision. You'll be amazed at the quality and difference from where you are now. :) Any issues just post or message me.


Thank you so much. I have spent the last few days searching and searching. I feel so much better having decided on something. I will order my next juice with more VG and half the nic. I have enough of my old stuff to use while I learn about my new stuff. I am so excited. I told my husband that I was about ready to go back to reg cigs. PV helped me get off them in 2011. But I still have that hand to mouth and nic thing LOL.

Thank you for your help. I think I have decided on that battery and the Nautilus tank. Not the mini but the reg. I hope that is a good combination. Opinion?
Great choice. Make sure you let the head properly soak in before you fire it up; prime it, and give it a few minutes for the wick to get totally saturated.
Then take a couple of draws on it (without pressing the fire button) until you can taste the flavor.
If you don't, you'll burn it (and once a coil head gets burnt there's no fixing it).

The only issue I had with the 5 Nautilus that I had at one time was they can be difficult to open to refill. All you need is a rubber band to use like a kitchen jar gripper on the bottom part and twisting is no issue. (The tank draws a vacuum when used) Find a rubber band and you're good to go.

I don't know how much you smoked so determining nic is a guess. I was 2 packs a day of lights and 12 got me to quit with the Nautilus. If you get a bottle of zero in the same flavor and mix equally with the nic juice you now have it cuts the nic in half. I still vape 50/50 or 60pg/40vg that I used in my Nautilus.

The Kanger Subtank Mini, Use the 1.5 ohm coils. I would also recommend buying an inexpensive 510 drip tip to swap out for the wide bore it come with. I mouth to lung hit with my subtanks, as most people lung hit with them. The Subtank Mini holds 4.5 ml. (get a black or white one).

If you get a different tank you're going to have to get different coils for it.


Ok I just saw this. So the reg nautilus won't work? I've tried drip tips and never had much success with them.

Oh no, get the Nautilus. You won't need to change a thing. I was typing that when you were wanting a different tank also. Ignore the Subtank, you'll love the Nautilus.

I was 2 packs a day lights myself and that is how I got started using the 12. Thanks for the tip on the juice. I will do that.

Ok here is what I plan to buy. 2 Eleaf iStick 40W (one silver and one black) 2 Nautilus reg tanks. If you see anything that won't work, please let me know.

A drip tip is the mouthpiece. I tried dripping and hated it, I want grab and go vape, not high maintenance dripper vape.

Perfect. Add a 5 pack of spare coils. They come in 1.6 ohm and 1.8 ohm. You can get either, I didn't notice much difference between them.

Will do. This tank sounds like it works a lot like the bottom fill, rechangable coil clearos that I used to use.

It does. It's user friendly. It has been my most trusted not to leak tank. Every tank has their ins and outs, you just have to learn them. In my opinion it's a great tank. The coils are easy to change, probably just like you used to have. The tank is easy to clean too.

60/40 is what I usually use. I will stick to that then and just adjust the nic when I need juice. :)

yes, unless you shop for them somewhere else thats the best you can do. They usually come in a 5 pack. So buy 4. :)


Ok, I'll google them just in case I can find them for less in a pack. Otherwise my order is ready to go. WooHoo :)
