When you get the nautilus be sure to put a few drops of juice directly into the coil head. It will wick faster. And if you get a little dry taste, take a pin and stick it in the cotton but be sure not to touch the coil. Sometimes the cotton is really tight. She is going to love it. :)

He's starting out long haul flatbed. You're still driving, right? Thank you. He's been trying to come up with a CB handle LOL We've had a lot of fun thinking of names. Thanks for the support. I've been struggling with it a whole lot more than he has. LOL

I broke my foot 09-03, and hoping to get Dr's release 10-02!
If he hasn’t went through orientation yet, have him start a thread at truckersreport.com in the new drivers forum, let them know what area you live in, and exactly what kind of job he is looking for. There is a guy with the screen name "Chinatown" who is very knowledgable about companies all over the USA, and he will give him more options.
The outfit I drive for used to require 2 years min exp, but they are hiring some guys right out of school and sending them with us old pharts. Home every other night and weekends, mileage and hourly plus overtime pay is computed using the total of miles and hours!

My last long haul job was Central Oregon Trucking Company (flatbeds), been driving since 1984, married 31 yrs next March, it wasn’t easy!
If I can be of any help at all to you two just ask, us old guys are awnery looking but warm right up when a fellow driver needs help. ;)

Each flavor stands on it's own as far as ingredients. The brand doesn't matter. Most of the brands are coming out with new formulas without all that. Vendors just sell the selection of brands. Bull City Vapers, EcigExpress, Wizard Labs are three i've used. Wizard sells sample sizes for 1.49, I think it is. Then you can play some without being out much. You can get pg/vg from all of them, too.

Thank you so much for your help. :)

LOL! C.B. Handle! I live right by SR 826 and the truckers bleed into
my computer speakers as they drive by squawking about smokies and asking each other
where the truck stop is. I know my way around town pretty well so I used to spend my free time
giving them directions from my base station.

Does he vape? Think of a vape related handle like Space Jam, Cosmic Fog, Suicide Bunny...LOL.
10-4?

Anybody got any experience with Smoke Evolution? Good or Bad...
I've had good experiences with them, not a lot because their prices can run a little high.

I own a Nautilus. I love the tank. It's very well made. The only problem I have with mine is that when you open it to refill it, the coil head will stay in place and you have to remove it and put it back in the cap. It doesn't hurt anything just messy and inconvenient.

I've had that happen, too. In my case I was able to eliminate just about everything except the coils themselves. I had two boxes of coils that just weren't completely round across and straight up and down. Both checked out as authentic so I'm just figuring a little quality control issue at some point. Annoying, but as you said, doesn't really hurt anything.

Any brand better than another? I've dropped a lot of my old juice vendors because of diketones and have gone to ones that have tested and posted test results. It's like starting all over again. I didn't realize how much I had spent over the years on juice LOL and equipment. Where do you DYIers get yours if you use it? :)
You wouldn't want to use the flavors I use since they come from Russia some have diacetyl and who knows what else but they are the best I have ever had. I have to order them from Germany and I have a bunch coming now. Should be here is a few days it has been 17 so far and they are in the state. They are actually food flavorings and very concentrated. They are sold in Germany as ecig flavors. VZ has some of them they are sold as Gourmet SC

That Kanger EVOD2 is on her istick30, She dont care for the loose draw on my subtank mini, and I have heard so many people brag about the nautilus mini tank I was thinking about getting her one. Not sure if that nautilus mini will have a tighter draw or not?

To me, the draw on the largest hole of the full size nautilus is the same as the smallest sized holes of the full size subtank. She would have her choice 3 smaller holes on the nautilus for a much tighter draw than the subtank. :)

If already answered, I'm trying to get caught up. :)

I've used the Aspire Nautilus for over a year and the Kanger Subtank for around half a year. I like them both and agree completely with what you said about the air flow. I always use the biggest air hole on the Nautilus. Even though the biggest air holes on the Subtank are MUCH MUCH bigger, that's what I usually use on the Subtank too. The tanks are very different from each other but I enjoy both of them.

Great info, dword! Gotta luv da porchers...


I never have subscribed to that philosophy.

JMHO: This thread spends too much time for my tastes being critical of today and remembering yesterday through the rose colored glasses that are lent to history the further removed it becomes.



BTW, I never cared fer Lucille Ball at all and still don't...

I just got a GS Air M. They have 2 sizes and I love it. I like a tighter draw and I can adjust the air flow down and it works great. Gives great vapor too. Fasttech just got them in and I think their price is $7.17 ea. Sweet Vapes has them for $9.95 ea. and they have the cotton coils for it for $9.something a 5 pack. I own a Nautilus. I love the tank. It's very well made. The only problem I have with mine is that when you open it to refill it, the coil head will stay in place and you have to remove it and put it back in the cap. It doesn't hurt anything just messy and inconvenient. But the tank is great. The one I have hold 4ml. The GS Air is lighter weight. :)
My Nauty was doing that sometimes & I realized I was pushing the coil into it's chimney as I unscrewed the bottom. It was enough to unscrew the coil from th base. I started pulling as I unscrewed the base d it stopped. But I still double check the coil before I put it back together.
