The MVP 2 is one of the best devices out there right now, imho. You may want to consider the Protank II with a air flow adjustment base or a Aspire ETS bdc

The MVP 2.0 is an amazing device. Guys I work with ask what I would recommend, and that is what I tell them to pick up. The ease of building and use, I would recommend a Kayfun. If your up for the aggravation of learning how to build on it I love my aqua/origin running in hybrid mode. Just to put it out there. The aqua is not the easiest atomizer to build on. It also can be a pain to fill. Once you get it built right however it is AMAZING.

I already have an adjustable airflow aspire nautilus! I find it doesn't produce enough vapor for me. Would it help to rebuild it? I've been looking at the ehpro kayfun lite clone to get into rebuildables. The various mech mod clones are interesting too.

I was also under the impression that the nautilus was THE tank to buy right now.

I've read mixed reviews on the Nautilus. Lets go back to basics. A few questions:
1. What pg/vg are you using?
2. Coil ohms?
3. Voltage or wattage settings on the MVP?

1. 67PG/33VG
2. My MVP is saying it is 1.5 - stock nautilus head
3. All different. Up to 5V

The VG is a little low but I've smoked a variety of juices with all different mixtures and the vapor is still lacking.

1. VG a little low for vapor production but not majorly
2. Not a problem there unless it's a faulty head
3. 5v should be giving you plenty of vapor

Let me tap a resource and see if I can get somemore help.

Had a friend tell me "There's been an increasing frequency of folks complaining about bad stock coil heads these days for them." Still lookin' for a solution.

you should be firing that head at somewhere around 3.6 to 3.9 volts. Sounds like to me the head is flooding if you're not getting much vapor. With that thin of an ejuice you might want to use the 2 bigger airhole options, if you use the tightest holes for airflow you might be creating too much vacuum and flooding your atty.

I always leave it on the biggest airhole because I do lung hits. I will try to dial down the voltage, but my experience with it seems to be higher voltage = more vapor.

On a side note: do the beauty rings change the airflow? I've noticed if I use the one that came with the mvp the airflow is drastically increased and the airflow is lessened with the beauty ring that came with the nautilus.

The beauty ring shouldn't cause any difference since the airflow on the Nautilus in on the side of the base, not the 510 connection.

There is the Reo Grand which is a box like mechanical mod. But for a starter you can't go wrong with a k100 with phoenix v5 or igo-w! Make sure you do your safety research on RDA/RBAs!

REO grand is too pricey and the k100 is too cheap. I'm looking for a middle ground between the two.

I use a 30PG/70VG ratio - to me better flavor and vapor production - at 8 watts on your MVP 2 u should be getting good clouds.

My nautilus is in a major time out - to many coil head DOA and coil problems - sometimes it would work great/not enough times. It can be rebuilt but can be taxing.

Inexpensive EVODs work better for me-even with stock coil heads: I rebuild mine with P&C cotton yarn - better taste for me. Might be a better solution for you until you get another device.

However I don't think the battery device is the issue - it is getting a proper functioning topper. It can be a challenge to get the right combination of topper and juice to work for you.

I have used the MVP 2 with topper coils varying in resistance: 1, 1.5, 1.8. 2.0. 2.2 ohm rating - all vape well. I've vaped from 6 watts to 11 watts to find my sweet spot - most everyone's is different.

A topper at 1.5 ohms at 8 watts always works great for me and my juice.

Just for reference most days I use EVODs, RDAs, Kayfun, cartomizers for out and about ( no leaky).

I think I'm going to get an ehpro kayfun lite plus. If you can get vapor from an MVP , then what is the point of a mech mod?

Are there any black mech mod clones? I prefer black to the silver lookm
