Luckily, I haven't had any issues with any products from Aspire. I run all ohm's at 4.0 volts.
Problem with Aspire Nautilus

Really depends on the liquid. One of my Nautilus' runs nothing but my DIY Extreme Ice in it. Heads last 3-4 weeks, at a tank full (~5ml) per day. I rinse them out once a week. My other Nautilus runs whatever I decide on for a few days. Boba's Bounty killed a head in around 4 tank fills. M3 and Stripper Cake from Insane eliquid seem to take it a little easier on them heads. I have been switching between those 2 for 4-5 fills each and the head isn't too bad off yet (rinsing head every time I change flavors). My guess is I have 1 or 2 more fills on that head.
Mine came with a decidedly 'machine oil' taste! Took it all apart and used alcohol to clean it thoroughly. Made a HUGE difference with my atty.
Check your glass tank!
I have the Aspire Nautilus and love it. My first one rolled off the counter after only one day and broke the tank. I was so upset. Bought a second one and put the little craft sticky foam dots on it to keep it from rolling. Found them in my granddaughters craft box. I then purchased my 3rd tank with replacement 1.6ohm coils. Went thru 3 coils and it kept flooding. I complained about the coils and the company replaced what I had left with the 1.8ohms. I took apart the 3rd tank to clean it cause I had just put it in the drawer because it was flooded. What I found was that the tank on top was chipped, preventing it from sealing properly. With it coming already put together I had no way of knowing it was chipped until I took it apart to clean. I have contacted my supplier and are in the process of working on this issue.

Zero issues with mine and on my third tank. I have never had an issue with any of the Aspire BDC heads with the exception of one DOA. And I typically get 3-4 weeks of constant use on one head. Then some after a cleaning soak. Amazes me how some of us have great luck with them and others no luck at all. Guess it is like the Ford and Chevy debate. Aspire and Kanger. LOL

Good point. Hate Kanger -- would never give them another dime of my money -- love Aspire!
The only Kanger I have had consistent luck with is the T2. Hate the T3 and after reading have zero desire to try their bottom coil. They are getting as bad as Samsung with smartphones. Pumping out new products lefthand right before fixing bugs with current products.

I recently purchased 2 Nautilus tanks, The first one I used only lasted me half the day before I was getting a real bad burnt taste, I removed the coil & rebuilt it with a 1.5ohm micro coil with a cotton wick which has been going strong for about week now but only thing I have noticed is I cant take it above 8watts without getting a burnt taste? Anyone else have this problem 
Well after 3 days of use, mine flooded bad today. I had a bad gurgle so I opened it up to the biggest air setting and juice was everywhere. Not sure what caused it as I am fairly new to this. Anyway I have extra coils laying around and am wondering if I should change it out? Literally 3 days on the tank...

Could it be your choice of juice?
It isn't the juice I have used the same stuff in my RDA without any issues on a 0.8ohm coil, I have heard some people say the factory coils the Nautilus comes with have differently positioned holes compared to the replacement packs? I was thinking that if this is true it could be a wicking issue?

Hmm, that's interesting. Hadn't heard that. I'm still using the ones that come in the box, although I have already some replacement packs lying around. After watching the video for recoiling the Nautilus, I figured buying replacements was the option most likely to leave me with some hair on my head.
44 days on the 2 original heads that came with my Nautilus....the lower ohm head started to give a lower level of vape tonight with a sweeter than usual e-juice. I will need to see if a good rinse and soak renews it. Even if it doesn't 22 full tanks(110ML) isnt bad on a single head and I will now have one to try recoiling
I have been using the Nautilus since the beginning of January and I am on my 3rd head.
I had one head go bad (the 1.6 ohm that comes with the Nautilus). It died after a week of Boba's Bounty. I think the high VG was too hard on it, or it was a little out of spec. It would continually gurgle.
I tried to dry burn one head, but it ended up giving a short error and it died.
I find that priming the head, even after every tank refill yields better flavor and no burnt taste.
I am running the 1.8 ohm coil at 4.2V with good results.

I've encountered a new problem with the Nautilus heads. I generally got a week out of a coil and then that dropped to a couple of days. In the last couple of days I've started to notice weak vapor followed by a rise in resistance. The resistance will rise to 2.4 and 3 and 4 ohms. One went from 1.9 ohms to 7.4 ohms over a 20 minute period once the vapor dropped off. This morning, one I installed last night stopped vaping completely and it read open on my Provari and 0 ohms with an ohm meter.
The last batch I bought seems to be afflicted with this problem. I'm on my 4th head in a row that only lasts a day or less and then starts to lose contact and eventually open up. I'm vaping them at 3.3v when new and seldom have to go any higher than 3.6v to keep the vapor strong.
