Hey, got a fox squirrel with the air gun. He was attempting to climb up my front tire to get in the engine compartment at the time. I had to sneak around Jackie's Blazer so has to take a shot that wouldn't risk shooting my tire. He's gone. :smokie:

Opinionated, so the nautilus Xes are also called "minis?" I gather that the regular-sized Nautilus tank just takes a larger atomizer? I have 1 box of "Nautilus Replacement Atomizers." With the Xes and regular size, how high can I turn the Provaris? I usually vape at about 3.8. to 4.0Do you know the same about the Kabukis?
I literally can't thank you enough for the links. I also just discovered that the KangerTech Topfill Mini tanks and "OCC Replacement Coils" I bought at a B&M a year or so ago say "Sub-ohm" on them. Since the gal at the store also ripped off the power cord of the Nitecore digital charger I brought in, I doubt selling me the Kanger was an accident. She knew an older dummy when she saw one!
You should be able to use that Kanger Toptank on your 2.5's :?:
You just need to get coils that are not subohm coils. Kanger makes 1.2 and 1.5 ohm coils that should work.
I think these are them :unsure:
KangerTech OCC Vertical Subtank Coil (5pack) - Replacement Heads
or maybe these o_O
KangerTech OCC Subtank Coil (5pack)
I do the subohm thing so it's been a long time since I looked at these, :blush:
maybe someone can chime in and tell us what coils will work in a Kanger toptank on a 2.5 ;)

No, the nautilus mini and the nautilus x are two different things. The regular original nautilus full size tank (not sure about the nautilus 2's though) didn't have the flavor the nautilus mini had. (As well as having other issues) The nautilus x has the same flavor that the mini has in my understanding, as it is an improvement upon (and a mesh between) the nautilus mini and the full size nautilus, while being tpd compliant.

The first difference between (and main one here) is the fact the nautilus x is 22mm in diameter while the nautilus mini is 18mm. This is a difference in how it will sit on the cone of your provari 2 5's. The smaller diameter of the nautilus mini means you don't need a cone cover for them to look perfect sitting on top of your 2.5's.

The nautilus x is a great tank, is top fill (unlike the nautilus mini which is bottom fill) and has many improvements in areas like the juice channels and airflow, so it's a tank you will like well if you already have one.. But the coils it takes are not, in my understanding, the nautilus bvc replacement atomizers the Kabuki and the nautilus mini takes.

Are you in the U.K. then?

Also, does the pack of nautilus replacement atomizers that you have also say bvc on it?

As far as what voltage can you vape the nautilus and Kabuki at, yes, what your vaping at now is just fine for vaping those at, I think I was running those at 4.0 volts, but 3.8 - 4.0 volts works fine, just set it where you think the flavor is best for you.

Late in the game, but a belated Happy Canada Day, particularly to our host, @WillyZee , @BreSha6869 ...(I know I'm forgetting some others, but it's for all).


Thanks... as I camp in the rain and drink an American Goose Island (should be a Molson Canadian but I can't stand that stuff!)

2 probably stupid questions incoming:
-i intend on storing my Radius for a while;
anything i should be concerned with?(I've heard of people taking a device from the shelf after some time of non usage and it just died).
-can i rub the exterior with alcohol?(avoiding the screen and 510 )

Current go-to vapes:
The Kabuki topped Cabernet Radius has a Molehill Mountain Art Redwood Burl tip.
The Kabuki topped Procyon has a Delrin extension that came with a Stingray tip (not pictured). Inserted into the extension is a standard Aspire Nautilus tip. While the Procyon came with a high performance end cap, for perfect balance in hand, I've chosen to use a House of Hybrids engraved end cap with P3 spring.
Air flow screws on the Kabuki tanks are probably closed more than most folks would have, but for me and at 11.4 watts on 1.8 ohm coils, these vapes have a perfect sizzle, warmth and vape volume that mimics the effortless tootle of the stinkies they replace.
As always, I vape unflavored 12mg 50/50 Nicotine River. So good ...

No questions are stupid and I don't know.

I wouldn't worry about storing it without battery and I wouldn't worry about wiping the exterior with alcohol but that's just me. I also wouldn't take my word for it until some others chime in.

I bet your coils last forever with unflavored juice, a?

I don't think I've ever left a coil in longer than just over a couple of months and the coil certainly wasn't "dead". Just would discolor the juice a bit and taste slightly off. Probably could have soaked and boiled them up for continued use ... maybe.
Couple of months? I'm lucky if I can get 15mls through one (BVC). Just started vaping my first DIY today but it's with a HH rebuild I've been using for quite some time. It'll be interesting to see how many mls of my DIY I can get through a BVC but thanks to being showered with ProVape juice, it'll be a while before I make anymore.

How long are you planning on storing it? I've let mine sit for weeks to a month or so without doing anything to it. If I were to pack one away for, say, years... I'd pull the battery out of it and store that seperately, but that's me. For long term storage of lithium cells they will hold up better at about 3.7-3.8 volts.
