nautilus coils...
I hope that they don't have a Shelf Life, lol.

I worry about that, too. I just wonder if organic cotton breaks down. Just make sure you keep them somewhere where the temp is somewhat constant and never really cold or really hot. that's all you can do.

    I just went and bought almost 400 Nautilus coils.
    That should last a few years.

    I'm trying to hold off on coil building as long as possible, heh (I'm lazy too).

    If you get 2 weeks per coil, that's 26 coils per year. 400 divided by 26 equals 15.38. How old are you?:)

    But here's something to think about. As you get older, your likelihood of not being about to rebuild due to health and vision becomes greater. Plus the older you get the more averse you may be to rebuilding, more than now. Something to consider. That's why I'm rebuilding as much as possible now and saving my factory coils as much as I can for when I can't rebuild or I get too fed up of doing it.

    I'm allowing for if I should happen to encounter Packs of bum Coils, too.
    I never make it two Weeks on a Coil - I Vape too much.
    I divided 52 by the number of Coils (380).
    If I am lucky they will last a little over 7 years (7.30)

    2 weeks? I'm running a Twisted Messes with a store bought coil 9 months or longer at 70 to 75 watts. Just take care of it. They can last a long time.

    GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ! That's the longest I've seen. Do you vape unflavored?

    What do you mean by "take care of it"?

    Before I bought the Coils I thought that I could maybe go to my Local B&M if I ran low.
    I went to my Local B&M and they didn't have any Nautilus Coils but for a comparable Coil type they wanted 4.95 PER COIL.
    I thought I was going to have a Coronary.

    Judging from what I see on this forum, i think nautuls coils lost a lot of popularity over the Innokin Z-coil. Luck you were able to stock up on the coils you love.

    Nautilus is super old news, I know, but dangit, I love my Nautilus.
    Also have some Nautilus parts coming too, just in case.

    I Don't think that should be a Problem.

    This is the Cotton in the RDA I'm hitting on Right Now.

    It's a little hard to read. But I opened that Cotton on 4-6-2015. It's Fine. And I've got Cotton Tour T-Shirts from the 70's. So I Don't think the Cotton should be an Issue.

    There is a Possibility of the O-Rings "Drying Out". But I think that is Kinda Remote.

    The Only thing I would do is if they Don't come in a Sealed Blister Pack, I would put them in a Zip-Lock Freezer Bag. Then stick them in a Cool/Dry Place like the back of a Closet.

    Yes I vape unflavored 50% of the time, at least. When I change the cotton, I run the Twisted Messes under cool water and momentarily light the mod up to burn off anything that is on the coil. Shines like new every time!

    Niiice!

    My Coils are in Blister Packs.
    I have a few ancient Cartomizers from back in the Day when I switched to a Tank.
    Don't know how they would Vape but they still look good.

    That's different. lol We're talking about factory coils not rebuildables.

    Sure you can get 9 months out of a coil if you can change the wicking every once in a while and give the coil a dry burn. I dont think you can do that with a Nautie.

    The US government is an organized crime gang and "tobacco" is their main product. Literally.
    BT needs to be boycotted.
    What would be nice is to get Smokers to stock up enough so they wouldn't have to buy for an entire Month.
    And then don't buy for an entire Month.
    Problem is for it to work, Folks would have to do it en masse.
    Oh well, the thought was nice while it lasted.
