LOL I didn't realize the Protank was not popular, I got my first one almost two years ago and at that time I thought it was pretty awesome. I will be excited to try the nautilus, it's a bit more expensive but sounds like it's worth it.
Lol, two years ago, it was. Now, there's better gear available. That doesn't make a pro-tank bad. I have several myself, although I don't use coil tanks any more since I started rebuilding. The Protank is still the same tank it ever was.

I want to welcome you to the forum.

I had a Nautilus Mini. Flavor was fantastic but did not care for the mysterious crumbly whit substrate around the organic cotton and coils. Ivdobt know if it was ceramic asbestos etc so I threw the coils away and switched to the Kanger sub tank mini and nano

If they don't tell what the stuff is I am not vaping it.

Ceramic asbestos???? Whaaaaaaaaaaa???????

I'm kind of disappointed nobody mentioned a possible flaw in the recommendation.

A mini Nautilus on a standard eGo battery is not a great combo.

See how you get on, come back and report on progress. :)

Oooooooooooo do tell, how come? But I will most definitely let you all know how it works.

They don't tell what it is and IT AINT COTTON it crumbles likeva porous ceramic or porcelain or ?

Several hundred years ago asbestos was used as the wicks for eternal flames in the temples.

I don't know what that stuff is and they don't tell what it is so I am not vaping it.

I have vaped my Kanger Mini Sub Ohm on my old Evod battery with no problem while my Coolfire4 was charging. None of the Ego-T batteries worked. The X6 battery I paid $9 for works great on the Subtank mini or Nano. The Nano would not work on the evod but worked like a champ on the X6

relax. They are cotton wicked coils. You'll love the Nautilus.

Yes they are cotton wicks but open the heads and remove the coil and there is a powdery crumbly coating inside the metal housing.

The new coils (several months old, if memory serves) for the nautilus are organic cotton. The old ones were a ceramic type deal that would flake and just make you uncomfortable looking at em.

EXACTLY! That is why I threw away 6 coils and bought the Subtank mini and Nano.

I liked the base in the Nautilus but when something extra is in the head and they won't tell you what it is then I AIN'T vaping it.

    I am sorry that we never made wickless BVC coils
    We at aspire listened to customers' voice,we did change the material to full organic cotton about four months ago,about two months ago,all of our BVC coils shipped out to be full organic cotton.

My favorite non sub ohm tank has to me my Aerotank because they never leak. I also like the vape of my Vivi Nova tank. Yeah it's old but still works great. Sometimes it will leak at the bottom but it's not bad.

Thought I was a member here for a long time. When I went to log in threw an email from the site my user name was gone.
Odd but now I am back.
Been vaping for a few years so I am not new.

It was, back then! Glass rather than plastic, an easily replaceable bottom coil assembly that some of us learned to rebuild with Kanthal and cotton. They were very popular for a while, but considerably better stuff has displaced them.

Would the mini nautilus work better on an ego twist battery? I really don't want a complicated set-up. Lol. The ego twist might be as fancy as I ever get.
