Refilling nautilis mini

[Kieferz]

Maybe I'm doing this wrong but I have noticed more often than not when I unscrew the bottom of my nautilis mini the coil stays screwed into inner tube part. This means I have to unscrew the coil and rescrew it into the base again. This gets messy and takes more time than I would like. Am I doing something wrong? I have found nothing that compares to the mini as far as I'm concerned with the taste and throat hit but it's a royal pain in the rear to fill.

My wifes did that all the time, it just happens

So funny! My wife has it happen too. It's not a big deal. Just fill around it and replace the bottom. My full size nautilus never does it but the mini is a constant.

It helps to make sure your coil is screwed into the bottom assembly as firmly as possible.

I've done that before. I think you may be tightening the base to much.

1st while you have the base off make sure the coil is on tight then when you re-attach it remember that you don't have to 'wrench' it down until it won't move, just keep turning until it is 'snug' or just bottoms out and you should be good to go. After a while you'll get a 'feel' when you have 1/4 turn or so left that does not need to happen.

That use to happen to me all the time on my full size Nautilus.

The way that I got around it was to make sure to open/refill the tank before it got to only 1/3rd juice full. If I let mine drop below about 1/3 +/- it became a bear to even unscrew the glass tank from the bottom and usually ended up leaving the coil screwed into the tank.
