Temperature Control - What coils are required?

[MarcoSilva]

Good night everyone,

I've been away from vaping for a long try because it didn't fulfil my needs at the time (either a bad setup or something else,not sure) but I just ordered a Nautilus tank with BVC coils and an iStick TC40W and I was wondering if these coils will work with temperature control or if I need specific coils and if so, which? Any advices?

Thank you all,
Marco Silva

No, you need Nautilus TC coils.

VapeOnly vAir-T Temperature Control Coil (For Nautilus) Type N

Nautilus Temperature Sensing Coil (5 Pack) - Atomizers - Advanced

Should I swing for one of those more than the other or will it make no real difference?
Thanks

Not sure.

The vaporshark ones are more expensive, but they were made in collaboration with Aspire so that should be good.

The vAir-T coils can be found lots of places and are probably more of a knock-off, but at half the price it's hard to resist.

Haven't really seen reviews on either though.

Alright...Seems I can't find either of them in Europe though, and getting their from the states would be way too expensive... I've seen some 'coils' that look like just the bottom part of the coil with resistors (coils) in them where you can put your own cotton and all. Do you know if those would work and how easy they'd be to setup and also which ones would be best?
Thanks, and sorry about so many questions but I want to get it right this time!

So run it in VW mode for now while searching for Nickel coils.

FYI, I've tried both the Vaporshark and the vAir-T coils and in my opinion, the Vaporshark ones are superior. I've been using the same Vaporshark coil in my Atlantis 2 on the evic-VT for over 3 weeks now and it is still going strong. The vAir-T coil used in another Atlantis 2 at most lasts me a week before i start getting a burnt taste from it. I've already gone through the first 5-pack of vAir-T coils and out of the 5, I've had one bum coil. The bottom pin of the coil was very loose and it fell out. Also, I've been having leaking problems with the coils. Don't know if it is the coil itself, or the way it interacts with the tank, but I have gone through 2 coils in one day on an Aspire Triton and the juice keeps leaking through the coil and down into the air flow control. The first time it leaked, I had the wick openings opened up all the way. It leaked, so I closed it off so that it formed a perfect circle. that seemed to work, except that started leaking too this afternoon. Then I started getting a burnt taste to the vape. I was vaping at 550 degrees, and then dropped it to 450 degrees and closed the opening up a bit more.

From now on, I'm only going to get the Vaporshark nickel coils for the Atlantis.

Vaporshark would end up being far too expensive from where I could get them, so I ordered myself a GS-Tank Air-M and some TC coils for it to use with the iStick TC40W. I'll test and see how it goes when I get both.

Thanks for the inputs

With TC appearing in more and more mods, we're seeing more and more sub ohm tanks that now offer nickel coils. Freemax is coming out with nickel coils in conjunction with their new Starre Pro tank, there are nickel coils for the Herakles and the Arctic, Kanger was the first to come out with nickel OCC's for the Subtank. It is strange that Aspire appears to be the only company that does not offer factory nickel coils (since the Vaporshark ones has the Vaporshark logo and not the Aspire logo.

I used the nickel Nautilus coils when they first came out and didn't think they are really worth paying more for. The reason is that since the Nautilus doesn't use a lot of juice and is low wattage, when the wick starts to go dry it only gradually becomes unpleasant. It's very easy when that starts to happen to stop and refill. With sub-ohm tanks that chow through juice and are run at higher wattage, if the wick goes dry, the harsh dry hit comes quick and is intense. So for those types of tanks, nickel makes a big difference.

I've used nickel in sub-ohm for months now, but still used the Nautilus until a few weeks ago. The regular bvc coils worked fine and are what I would still use if I still used it.
