I've done quite a bit of research and from what I have observed, it's feedback is stellar across the board. As I have currently started out, my gear is a tad modest, and I'm dubious as to whether or not the nautilus is a much of an improvement. As of writing, I'm rocking the Pro Tank II on a standard evod battery and have a few evod bcc's in rotation. I have tried the nautilus before but only briefly and in passing, so I cannot speculate it's capability with my setup. I have an iTaste MVP en route to my house (omgomgomg) and just don't know whether or not to pair it with the Nautilus. The only concerns I have at this point would be how expensive the coils are, and how long would they ask, as well as the price tag. I've spent more on vaping this month than the past two months smoking, but hey, it's a hobby AND harm reduction right
Owners, feedback would be greatly appreciated !
First off, I'm not an owner, so take my words with caution!
I was about to pull the trigger on the Nautilus. Saw a pretty good deal going on over at Vapor Joes. I also did a ton of research and saw that it got great reviews all over. I literally had it sitting in my Cart and I couldn't click the 'Next' button; my analytical side was at work. There were a few reasons why I didn't pull that trigger:
First and foremost.
I have a Protank 3. It has had its standard problems with a little bit of leaking here and there, but all in all I can say that I'm happy with it. The reason why my having a PT3 is significant is that Kanger has recently released the Aerotank's Airflow Control Valve as a separate piece to throw on the PT3, and the Aerotank has gotten just as good of reviews as the Nautilus has. Yes, the 5ml tank on the Nautilus was really tempting, but I figured I already have a makeshift Aerotank, so I should be okay.
Second.
The coils. I rebuild all the coils for my EVODs and am slowly learning to do the dual-coil rebuild in my PT3 coils. I did a few Youtube searches on the Nautilus atty heads being rebuilt, and only saw 1 video I think. I guess I am just comfortable with my rebuilding skills with Kanger so I will stay with them for now. In addition, I see that a 5pk of Nautilus coils is currently going between $18-25. Yikes. Those will certainly drop in price with the time though.
Third.
The darn ugly tank. I mean, the tank looks fine, but Aspire had to go put that huge logo across the entire thing. I think it really kills some of the simplicity that it intended to provide. There is actually now a SS tank replacement for the Nautilus (which would tie the atty together, erase the ugly logo, and also cut out your broken Pyrex tank fees), but that costs an additional $22 and has been in and out of stock day to day recently.
If you do not rebuild your EVOD/PT2 atty heads and you do not mind initially buying a 5pk of coils for ~$22, definitely pull the trigger. It has gotten such great reviews and, if it is anywhere close to the Aerotank (which I have read it is a bit better), you'll absolutely love it.
