IDK what the Nautilus mini was like, so I can't speak to that.... I believe my Nautilus X clone just arrived, actually it did and it seems genuine with a scratch off code that I checked.... I was simply interested in a larger tank, though I'm not going to attack it just yet. Also wanted extra.... Well, I want to Buy All the Things so I'll have backups if I need them. From my understanding that tank wasn't so well recieved, but I've liked everything by Aspire so far, and it sure is pretty.... I think that takes an entirely different set of coils, from the looks of it.

I will report back :)

I have been using the Nautilus X all Summer and I like it a lot. In my experience the 1.5 Ohm coils aren't nearly as good as the 1.8 Ohm coils. I mean it's a huge difference. I bought three boxes of the 1.5 Ohm when I bought the tank. They were OK and they served their purpose. One day I saw a video about the 1.8 Ohm ones and I realized that I had a 1.8 Ohm still in the box, so I tried it. It was so good that I bought three boxes of them and put the 1.5 Ohm coils away.

The name and how it looks... just wow. That's an awesome looking mod.
I like it that much I've took my batteries out of my Alien & am using it as my main mod :) the only other I use is my pico when I go out & I have about 20 mods.
It's just took so much experimenting to find a mod ill stick with.
I'm keeping my other mods as back ups, just don't know why I've got so many.
These have built up in just a year! Before that I had one mod hahaha.

Hahaha I did the same thing, I used a 1.8 that came with it & ended up getting a bunch of them. Great vape eh?? :)

Wow... lol. I've been using just the Alien 220. I have been looking at getting another mod (or two ;) ) but have been wondering if I should get something with less power or go into the 300 territory.... for battery life really.

Oh, yeah. It's like discovering the original Nautilus all over again. I think they did a great job. It feels like the 'modern' successor to the original. Top fill, top airflow, no leaks; the coil just drops in to the tank. I would have preferred some knurling around the airflow control and I have been getting all my gear in black so the airflow holes are hard to see but that's just being nit picky.

Whats the deal with the Nautilus? As well as the 1.8? I have never had a tank that isnt sub ohm. The closest I have ever been is .8 and its pretty great for flavor there.

I get 2-3 days out of the tesla, dunno what it is but gives me better battery life than my other dual battery mods but I know what you mean cos I'm thinking of a 4 battery quad core for battery life as you say.

& that's the nautilus do have great flavour, mtl is meant for flavour chasing. I actually do a mixture of direct lung an mtl but flavour from sub ohm is just as good if you get right setup :)

I know right?! I was so suprised cos the nautilus mini is my favourite tank & people give the X a bad review but I love it & cos it's top fill it's took the place of my mini

Worth checking out, I use my NautilusX in the morning with high nicotine when I'm really craving cigarettes & also in public when I don't wanna blow clouds!

I have to use max VG due to PG sensitivity and the tank still works fine, though I sometimes have to change my coil more frequently as VG is viscuous and thick, while PG is thinner, gives more throat hit, and flavor taste.

Anna

I vape max VG, but add some distilled water to the mix to thin it out a little.

Is that another of my bygone vape tricks from genesis days?

The tank with that particular coil mimics a cig really, really well but still gives good flavor-at low Wattage. Pretty much anything with a 510 connection and adjustable Wattage is going to last a long time while giving you a good MTL vape.

I think a lot reviews came out when only the 1.5 Ohm atomizer was available. I have the 4 ml extension tank and I have it sitting on a dual 18650 200W box mod, lol. I can practically get through a whole work week on this thing just by filling my tank two or three times.

Oh man... I can't speak to the Nautilus X capacities yet, I filled it (this one is bottom fill, to my knowledge?) and IMMEDIATELY squirted a bunch of my WTA juice straight down the center of the tank, (Wah, that's one juice I hate to waste) and thought, "Well, I'll just blow out the airholes since most of it dripped right out... I was then in a rush, assembled it (so I thought) and the dratted thing just LEAKED non-stop (yes, I did blow out the airholes), I ended up having to close off the airholes, remove it rapidly, and put my Cleto tank on since that goes anywhere (probably Everest) without leaking, so it lives in my vape kit.

I think I may not have put an ATOMIZER in it, but I was too tired upon my return home, and just sat it down, in disgust.

It certainly is pretty, though :) There's that... I wonder if there's a small corner of the internet where you can do youtube videos of what *not* to do with your vape equipment, I'd apply for that job...

That certainly would give good battery life, I used to have my triton mini on my tesla at 12 watts an get a good few days :) I don't like the look of tanks like that on big mods though haha

The NautilusX is top fill but regardless of that I hope you enjoy it, try not to overfill then it doesn't leak but I agree the Cleitos never once leaked for me either

Well, I must have some sort of wierd clone or something, unless I'm missing something very obvious? It.... maybe it's some sort of modified mini that's bigger? The instructions clearly indicate it's bottom fill. I had at it again this morning, and the freaking... The tank is a sieve. I found where the atomizer goes, made sure it was well screwed in (it wasn't), it's still *leaking* like crazy especially with the airflow opened fully.... IDK, I'm not too thrilled with it at this point, it draws horribly too.... Guess I need to do some research. :) I don't think it's the real thing... I'm going to empty it, wash it out thoroughly, and experiment with it using my least favorite juice, to even see if I can get it not to leak. :)

Stick to your nautilus 2 & pick up an authentic nautilus mini or NautilusX or even the triton mini. They are not expensive :)

Good plan Skold, thanks. I'll have to go in search of one, I've heard good things about the triton mini (it takes the same coils, right?). Around here it's all Kangertech all the time, I'll have to venture into some of the more exciting smoke shops, LOL, Tucson's filled with them (I think many of them are... Well, it's kind of like tattoo parlours, there are so many per square feel that, even WITH the fact that much of Tucson is highly tattood, I kind of assume most of them are money laundering places.) Not all bad, the house we bought here was a *steal* as it was owned by one of the Major Cartel guys around here and they laundered money by "rehabbing" it, at vastly overinflated prices (we have a loadbearing wall that can be poked about 1/2 inch inward, with one's finger....) The neighbors, again, were so happy as they were also storing ah, stuff, in it, and they were scared the guy was going to give it to his nephew or whatnot and remain indefinitely..... We got it ridiculously cheaply, and nothing found yet other than *a bunch* of shoddy work.
