When the subtanks started coming out i bought into the hype, thinking id get what i get from an rda only with a tank. Needlesa to say i have 2 atlantis, a kanger sub, and a lemo collecting dust. Most of the extras still in the original package. I dont buy into that subtank game anymore rdas surpass anything for vaping experience.
But either way, atlantis is better than nautilus.

Your not wrong dude I'd never even heard of the Artic till you posted it, just checked it out! I use Kayfuns only considered the Atlantis due to using nickel coils and it being so cheap £17 plus how easy it is to rebuild the coils ; ) The poster really just needs a decent regulated box mod for around the $30 mark for achieving a consistent vape.

I have had an atlantis, arctic, vct tanks etc.. If you are ok with building I use the delta II regularly, but have ordered a zephyrus tank. These run like 30 to 40 bucks, stock up on cotton and wire and you are done. I use an ipv 3 daily but bang for the buck I have several friends using eleaf 50's. Search main websites like myvaporstore or vapordna (just a couple of the many I use). Ask at the local shops and a lot of us will let you try out setups but your best deals are online, just be careful buying blind. I have burnt a lot of $ online without trying. But however you go having the desire and will to quit smoking is the right move and with the options out there you will find the right setup.
FYI mvs has the eleaf 50 for 39.95 and zephyrus for 28.95, so for like 70 you could have a versatile setup.

Thanks a lot for all the help truly, this is looking like my best bet I'm gonna research online & try it out...
I appreciate it an have a nice day!
I really wanted to like the Kayfun but I hate the airflow or lack of airflow. I got to use to RDAs and Herakles type tanks. I just have to lung hit now

Have you seen the zephyrus, the rba deck has massive airflow. I have been searching reviews for the past week and quite a few are up now that it is in circulation. I pulled the trigger and ordered one yesterday so I will see. The Vapor Chronicles just did a very nice review of it on youtube.

If you're thinking Eleaf Istick 50 watt I'd strong suggest ONLY buying it from Eleaf. There's been a LOT of dangerous problems with them and the only !way to know you're getting a newer supposedly" fixed" one is from them. Plus that is the only way to ensure their" warranty" will cover you. I have first hand experience with them and you can read all about their problems. Their 30 watt is a solid product though

This is going to be my recommendation: the new MVP Pro, which is 60W. Why? It will likely be well made, reliable and affordable. It will run your Nautilus fine, under 20W. It will also run your dripper. And if you decide you still don't like the Nautilus, it will run one of the other subohm clearos.

Anybody to confirm this would be a good set up? I really want to either keep the k100 & get a new tank or replace the k100 & keep the tank.
I'm just not sure what would be the most efficient..
Sounds to me a lot of people are saying get a box mod, I currently have two batteries & a two battery bay charger. One is a purple (color) Impren 18650 3.7V 2500MAH & the other is a green (color) Impren 18650 3.7V 2600MAH. So I think the batteries are ok? & I don't run into battery problem at all! I believe my K100 broke the first month or so I bought it the part that I use to screw the Nautilus tank to got stuck & pulled out with the tank, so I just don't bother with it & put the whole piece back in & out when I refill.
I don't mind the tank, & for a couple weeks I was actually vaping consistent & it wasn't to bad at all I liked it, took about 4-5 second lung hit drag & it would produce a small cloud( like a cigarette drag ).
& to one of the other posters I am not looking for a dripper like drag, & I have seen tank/mod set ups that can hit like that ( it was a IPV2 Mod with a Hercules tank ) 35 watts & it hit like a dripper, also burned a ML every 4-5 drags & that's not what I'm looking for I'm looking to cut down, & enjoy a consistent but good cloud size. Like a lot of people understood !

Sadly I believe the vape shop I went too set me up with a junk mod just to sell me something ( considering it broke ) & I have seen a lot of mods online that are newer/better & cheaper!! I'm really looking for a good mod that a few people will agree on will do the job for a reasonable price & match with my Mini nautilus tank... Or a tank that would match with my k100( but I believe I decided a new mod is due!!)

The k100, being a mech, is just a poor choice for the Nautilus because the resistance of the Nauti coils are just too high to run well on a mech. The Nauti needs a regulated mod to shine.

There are other mods that will run the Nauti well. A 20 or 30W mod would be fine. But, I'm considering you may decide you want a subohm tank later, and then that 20 or 30W mod won't work well for those.

Keep the k100. You might use it later with an RTA or dripper. There are great dual coil RTAs that work wonderfully with mechs.

I named the mvp because they are built like trucks and are affordable. Some Chinese mods aren't faring so well, like the isticks. I also like the Sigelei 100 and 150w mods.

I'm not familiar with the Imren batteries so I'll leave that to others to answer. I use Samsungs, Sonys, Efests and AWs.

Other mods I feel ok recommending:

Sigelei 50, 100 or 150W
Ipv mini II or ipv4

More expensive, Yihi sx mini

I'm really considering a IPV mini II, one of my friends has one & has no problems with it . Probably my best bet & I'll know what I'm getting

The mini nautilus will match up with it well though??

It sure will. You will probably like the Nauti somewhere between 10 and 20W. But, since the mod goes up to 70W, it has plenty left if you decide on a subohm tank in the future. Its a very versatile mod.

And you can run your dripper, too, or put that on your k100.
