Tonight’s setups. Dotsquonk with Wasp Nano, Roundhouse with Pyro v2, and a Pulse X with Oulse v2. For your LOTR fans check out Christopher Lee’s service during WWII, never would’ve guessed.

They say disasters come in threes, thankfully mine this morning have only been bijou disasterettes.

Trying to take the battery out of yesterday’s Pico I found I’d put the cap on slightly cross threaded - but thankfully with a bit of plastic sink protective material and my plumbers wrench I managed to get it off without damage.

Opening today’s Nautilus Mini the base hardware came off fine but the coil remained stuck inside the chimney - fixed with a bit of tissue for grip and five minutes hand washing to get the e liquid off of my fingers.

Filling the tank I got distracted, overfilled it and had juice run down over my dressing gown - more tissue and a trip to the utility room washing machine fixed that one.

Hope you all get a better start to today!

Dang bud! I would've just gone back to bed for an hour, gotten back up, and started over again. :lol:

Well, I'm puffing on my new EHPRO MOD 101 with new Nautilus on it. Just need to get the metal cage for the Nautilus. Liking this thing. You can't even see the seam where the battery cap unscrews, the machining is so tight. I can even take a section off to shorten for an 18350 battery. Can't see the seams at all. Amazing! Now the wait is on for the Rincoe Manto AIO. :pop:

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the tanks with the metal cages are Nautilus Mini's. Also known as "Naughty Minnies", they are the second best 19mm mass produced tank ever, the best being the Kanger Subtank Nano. You have a full-sized (22mm) Nautilus tank there. I love the gradations. It's a super cool tank, better ventilated than its little sister.

If you find yourself liking that tank, then you should give a Kabuki clone a spin. There is even a metal sleeve version. Unfortunately, all that does is make the broken glass stay in one place. They made the glass thinner to make room for the sleeve. But it's basically a Nautilus tank redesigned by California company House of Hybrids. Wish you could still get authentics, but the clones are almost identical in function. Maybe not as durable. But they solve the Nauti's ventilation problem well.

Good morning Dave. Thanks for the information. But Aspire does make a full sized cage tank for the Nautilus. I can find them all over the place online, but my local shop has them. I just haven't got over there for one yet. I will check out the Kabuki, as I'm looking for some more 22mm attys for the new mod. Looks like something I'd like. Thank you my friend! :thumb:

Ah no Rob - remember that waking up gasping for a smoke sensation?

I still get that only now it's gasping for a vape - an old addict's gotta do what and old addict's gotta do!

And it’s like the least I can do since you’re sending a MoonBox up!

The least you can do? You sent me that beautiful DR RTA, and the extra gift my friend. I was thinking the Moon Box was the least I could do. You're a good man Nick. Wish we lived closer. :)

@Electrodave Does the Kabuki use the Nautilus coils? I'm guessing yes? Thanks Dave!
Well, I'll be...how did a tootle puffer miss that (clad 22mm Nautilus)? Yes, the Kabuki's (I still have one authentic, in the Provari P3 threading) use the Nautilus BVC coil heads. But the vape quality is a world away, IMHO. I've never been much of a fan of the 22mm Nautilus in the first place, although it's a fine tank. I just like Kabuki's and Naughty Minnie's better.
