Protecting my Nautilus Mini (or: My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts)

[fyrefiend]

I just got my first glass tank, an Aspire nautilus Mini, and I'm loving it. I'm also a bit of a klutz and where I work tends to be hard on fragile items (as two shattered watch lenses can attest) so I wanted to be able to protect my new baby. A quick trip to the hardware store for some ½ inch pipe insolation resulted in this:


Sure it looks funny and I have to remove it to actually vape but, dang it, it should survive whatever I manage to throw at it.

Aspire has a stainless steel replacement tank available for the Mini as well as the full size 5ml Nautilus tanks. The 5ml size is a viewless solid steel while the Mini version has a T shaped view slot on each side to see where the level is at any time! For the two Mini tanks I use on a pair of iSticks I went for those just in case I dropped one on pavement or some sidewalk while out! Misthub seems to have the lowest price for those at the moment for only $7.99! https://www.misthub.com/product/aspire-nautilus-mini-stainless-steel-replacement-tank-tube/

Thanks @Night Hawk! I'll pick one up next pay day (cheeper than smoking... sure... ;-) ). Until then I'll admire the pretty glass and continue to use my red-neck tank protector.

They go on quite easy and are actually easier to see through when held up to what you have left in them then other solid tanks with tiny view slots only. You can see when the ejuice is just covering the top of the base when looking in. And they tighten on the same way the glass tank does so everything is quick and easy there too.

Can save you from dying of fright if you should happen to drop and ... "my tank is broke!"
