Hey total noob here. Been vaping for about a month now on a Kangertech ego with an Aspire ET-S with bvc. I like the setup except for the fact I have had a lot of issues with a couple of them flooding and gurgling. So I purchased aSvd and looking for a tank and keep going back to the nautilus but don't want to deal with the flooding and gurgling. Don't know if it will happen but has with the ET-S's. What would you guys suggest for a tank to run on the DVD and also what kind of volt and watt settings to start with compared to my current setup.

Have you tried you Nautilus on the SVD? When I used a Nautilus I ran mine at between 14-17 watts. No flooding/gurgling.

To fix a flooded/gurgling atomizer take your tank off the battery and blow through the mouthpiece (with a paper towel under it or cover the airflow hole). This will drain the extra eliquid.

When you inhale, take a long smooth draw vs a short sharp draw. This will prevent extra eliquid from being pulled into your coils and flooding it. Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette

Whenever you first sense that your atomizer is beginning to flood try this:
1. Open up the airflow so when you take a hit you are not pulling in as much juice into your coils (if your tank has airflow control) .
2. Raise your voltage or wattage if your battery allows you to do this. This will vaporize more eliquid.
3. Tip your battery up (and take a few hits). By tipping it up you will prevent more eliquid from being fed into the coils.

Give one or all of these a try.:)

SVD 1.0 depending on version 1st Gen (1.5ohm dual coil minimum, 1.2ohm single coil if you are lucky), 2nd Gen (Luck of the draw between 1.2 and 1.5ohm). Have 3, 1st Gen Ver1, 2nd Gen Ver1, and the SVD 2.0, can only fire my Subtank on the 2.0 with the 1.2ohm stock coils. Nautilus and Nautilus Mini fire fine on the Ver1 SVD's with the 1.6ohm heads, might look into a Kanger Aerotank or Protank3 with the Aerotank base.

Beyond those 4 tanks, not really many good clearomizers on the market to run on the SVD 1.0, especially when Aspire went to their crap BVC coils from the BDC coil heads, if you can find any Aspire BDC heads, then the ET-S or the Aspire Nova-S could work. As it stands now, I mainly use Kayfuns and Russian RTA tanks on my SVD's due to inconsistency of factory stock coil heads in the available clearomizer market. You could also look into what Smoktech and Innokin currently offer in the way of clearomizers, though Innokin is more geared toward top coil designs that bottom coil designs.

I agree with the Nautilus or Nautilus Mini as a great...GREAT...partner for the SVD! Just make sure you let the tank and new coil sit for at least 15-20 min to soak the cotton. Sometimes ego type attys are like sucking a golf ball through 30ft of garden hose...as stated below, smooth longer draws will help flooding issues if you experience it. Some have said that the Nautilus gurgles a lot. Thats because hard short stiff pulls will flood the coil...again, take smooth longer draws. Another trick that works well...if gurgle happens...turn tank upside down while on battery/mod and fire it for 5-8 seconds. Solves the gurgle about 95% of the time. Anyway, yes...NAUTILUS or NAUTILUS MINI are awesome choices for both "noob" AND experienced. I have been vaping for four years and still go to my Nautilus tanks (have 5 of them) quite often!
