Someone tell me why nautilus tanks are great

[DingerCPA]

I really like my Nauti mini. The full-sized is pretty good (but I'm too ADD for 5mL at a time) My full-sized does start to gurgle when I have less than 1mL left in the tank. I can't recall my mini ever gurgling. Make sure you've not over-tightened and pinched/damaged the silicone seal. Also make sure your coil is seated snugly, but not over-tight....

Sorry you're having difficulties. In general, I like the Nauts, but I can rebuild my Kanger PT2 heads, so I tend to use those more often.

ETA - I really don't run above much above 11-12W on mine.... I also exclusively run lighter juices in the Naut (in a wimpy attempt to "conserve" the coils)

What am I doing wrong?

Not sure, but I'm sure you're effing up somewheres!

So far, da Nautili are da best 'tanks' (non-'rebuildable') I've tried (and that's been a herd of others).

 

[Danbrooks2k]

Nautilus BVC are the best clearo tanks I ever used up until the Atlantis came out...

I had problems when I over tightened... I found that just snugging up the tank made it work beautifully.

kanger is fine if you dont mind dry burning coils and cleaning wicks... I never get more than 3 days out of a coil otherwise.

Seems to be a lot of time, effort and money being spent trying to make factory coils/wicks work right. Could have got a nice rba coiled, wicked and working consistently and providing a better vape than you'll ever get with a clearomizer by now. Rebuilding is not hard at all. Keep fighting with inferior devices if you want or take control of your vape by using a device designed to be setup by the actual user. Not some china man mass producing crap.

Personally I don't like to suggest rebuilding coils is for everyone. I prefer it, but its not everyones cup of tea. If you do want to go that route, just remember to be safe, learn ohms law, battery safety and what your device does (or doesn't do) to protect you from worst case scenarios

I've only had my Nautilus for a couple weeks (it came with BVC's), and I vape mine all day long with max VG juice on my MVP 2.0 with no gurgling and no dry hits.

The vapor and flavor production is much, much better than the best clearo I had used before which was the Aerotank. That being said there was a significant time difference between the two (with a Kayfun in between). Perhaps I need to do a better side by side comparison.

Also, if you are having trouble with clearo's give the Kayfun a shot. Rebuilding is silly easy and it gives a great vape for less than you'll pay for a Nautilus.

Can not say one good thing about any of these type tanks !!! Sorry but I like to tell the truth.. I had the nautilus , Atlantis,,Silo tank and they all just plain didn't work !!!! Or at least they didn't work as they were advertised to work. I guess the hype was just that.. HYPE ,,,, It's a shame, Great concept but a longgggggggggg way from a great vape.....

 

[choochoogranny]

Harley, are you suggesting that those of us who have a fine vaping experience on the Nautiluses are just hyping the tank? Have been using both sizes with the BVC's for 5 mos. now and have had no problems other than a couple "I" created; but then maybe I was just dreaming......

 

[BlueCanary]

Yeah, I bought into the hype and got a big one and a mini, too. Nothing put a PITA. Switching out the metal/glass sleeve for the plain glass one fixed most of the gurgling and leaking issues, but I wouldn't classify the nautilus tanks as "great" by any stretch. I haven't used mine in months, they're sitting in their boxes in the vape junk drawer, and I doubt I'll ever use them again. Too fiddly. If I want to have to tinker with something constantly, I can rebuild my own coils and get a better vape. And I can't have any piece of vaping equipment that works so inconsistently…I need my stuff to work, I don't have a lot of time during the day to sit around and fiddle. Especially not with a tank that cost as much as those did…plus a coil that costs what those coils cost and tastes like mildewed socks half the time.

I realize lots of people love them and swear by them, but frankly I think they're junk. It's why I haven't bought into the Atlantis hype even though all the kids at the vape shop rave about them. You got me twice with a forty dollar tank, Aspire, you won't get me again.

I'm a newbie so I'm not the best judge as I haven't tried everything out there but I must say I *love* my mini. It beats the heck out of the iclear 16s I also have.

What are you using that isn't "fiddly" ? I'm looking to help some family so they can have a nice easy vape without fiddling with a bunch of stuff.. I think they are on Egos with a CE style clearomizer - disposable clearomizers with top coil. It's not "doing it" for them, they are still dual users after a year. Was thinking about the iStick v1 with a Nautilus Mini, but I've heard they're having QC issues with the heads. I liked the EVOD tanks when I was using egos, and now they have the v2 that are all glass (on the inside) and use the Kanger BDC heads... no adjustable airflow though.

I found my Nautilus Mini always muted the flavor of everything. It now collects dust on my shelf. I know alot of people on here hate Kanger tanks but I have never had a problem with any of their tanks and they perform like champs. Thumbs down for Nautilus.

 

[pinkie1205]

I gave my mini a try and I'm still not impressed. I'm buying a kayfun. Lol.

I have been using my kanger giant for 3 weeks now i have 5 kanger tanks but love the giant i have had zero problems,
I read all the hype on the nautilus i thought i got to check this out soon as i seen the tank i was like nope just by the looks of it.,

 

[coldgin96]

I have been using a full size Nautilus for a year now. I have six of them. The BDC's were junk but have had no problems with the BVC's on all six tanks. Love them. Different flavor every day. Johnson Creek and ProVape juice. Vape the 1.8's (usually reads 2.0 on ProVari V2). Usually @ 4.3 volts. Always get 30Mls out of one coil. Plenty of Vapor and flavor. Can't get enough. Vape Heaven. What am I doing wrong?

I have really enjoyed my Smoktech GDC tank with the adjustable juice ports on the coil head. It is a similar concept to the Nautilus with adjustable airflow, but IMO it is better made…all the components that screw into one another are screwing into machined metal, no problems with gurgling or losing vacuum due to threads on glass. Plus, the adjustable juice ports allowed me to use high VG juice if I wanted. I was using it on an iStick and it had no problem going up as high as 14w, though I would not think it would go all the way to 20. The only bad side to it is that it's a little harder to clean…doesn't come completely apart. Before that, my usual daily tank was a protank or an aerotank. I never had the problems with either of those tanks that I did with the Aspire ones.

I haven't used a tank like that in a while, though, I was mostly using orchid rtas before I got my eGrip, and now the eGrip with the rba is what I'm using all day every day.
