Well if I'm going out for the day I make sure I leave with a full battery in my Pico (3000mah) and make sure the kayfun is full,dats about it.If I were going on a weeks holiday,it'd be 2 mods,2 Kayfuns 2 thirty ml.bottles of juice and 4 batteries and my Xtar charger.

I put one in my fasttech cart but read about spitting and auto-firing issues so I've been hesitant. I would like a tiny think I can throw in my bag. From looking at the coil, it looks like spitting could be definitely be a problem.
Never had these issues with either of mine.

I keep looking at those ultra tiny things but can't really decide. My problem is that I'd like one with a large enough battery ( 900+ mAh), easily (or at least doable) rebuiltable and refillable, with a very tight draw. Most meet one or at most two of the criteria, even marginally, but not all three.

The answer is a resounding yes to the Nautilus 2. Meets my MTL clearo needs spot on!

I've heard the same... picking up the iCare Solo which has a button fire instead of draw activated. I'll post once I get it and try it out.

Closest one I know for that is the iCare mini with the PCC.

Has AFC built on the coil:

Battery life:
  • iCare Mini Built-in Battery Capacity: 320mAh
  • PCC Battery Capacity: 2300mAh
It's not a POD system so it is refillable and the coils can be rebuilt:

does it come with an RBA?

nevermind I googled it....lol
No, came with a 1.8 and the new .7 ohm coil.

With new life being breathed into this Aspire line (Nauti and Triton Mini style coils) hopefully someone, maybe even Aspire will come out with a good RBA.

How is the .7 coil have you tried it? Interested to know how the flavor is.... I usually use the 1.6 but recently just popped the Clapton 1.8s again I enjoy them as well.. ramp up time is a little slower on them though.

Haven't tried it yet.. not much of a sub ohmer but will probably throw it in my pocket rocket since I have it. Will give some feedback when I do.

I have an ICare (or three) which I recoil, and have a Solo on the way too (Netherlands Post, so might be a while ... it's only been 16 days so far :yawn: ).

Love 'em for just chucking in the pocket when going down the road shopping and what-not ;)

I keep makeup bag in my purse with enough stuff for 4 days without a charger!

How hot do you think the coil needs to get to bake off the crud? 500F? Was going to try a TC "dry-heating" of my Ni coil... won't bother if 500-600F won't cook off the crud.
I know when I've done that with SS coils I have to kick it into wattage mode...temp protects instantly.. never played with Ni.. but I would not dry fire them. maybe use a brush of some sorts.

Funny, I haven't owned a mod with a USB chargers since the eGo days.
Just simply put in a fresh battery whenever I leave the house.

If I'm going to be out & about for an extended amount of time, I simply take @Krisma advice and take more than one mod.
In pocket A, I carry a mod and tank. In pocket B, I carry a mod and tank. In pocket C (huge inside pocket), I carry 2 bottles and spare batteries... today, it amounted to 120 ml, and 7 batteries in cases. Hey, I'm a big feller... I can pull it off...

Nickel is not worth bothering with... pull the coil and install a new one...

Meh, I just made a new coil... no sense futzing with it... needed to clean the crud off of the posts anyhow.
