What the hell. New to vaping HELP.

I had some issues with flooding, and then my mind went back to my days designing and building machines...a smaller diameter drip tip tube means less pressure when vaping...especially with the smallest hole setting on the ring. The bigger diameter tube set on the smallest diameter hole means you're drawing too much into the coil. Most people say to open the ring...but that loosens the draw.
So far, it's allowed me to keep my draw closer to what it was when I was hooked on analogs.
You may want to try a top coil tank. The bottom coil type just never worked that great for me.
Gotta go for a high quality tank that can take a beating. More $ up front but worth it in the end.

It helps to puff a little to see some fog come out of your device and give you mental confirmation that it is working.
If you see thick fog, you're less inclined to draw too hard; if you see no sign of fog then you know something is wrong.
With the analog cigs, one tends to draw a little harder sometimes to get a visual cue that the cig is still lighted and hasn't gone out.
I have four aspire bdc tanks, different models, all work perfectly.
One of them leaked like crazy, flooded the battery.
The coil head was not screwed in tight enough.
Just hold it with a paper towel (if it has juice on it) and make sure it's really tight.
Once i did that, haven't seen a bit of leaking at all.
Hope that helps.

Vaping all day today on the Nautilus and only had some slight flooding. Been doing the test puff and super light draw and it's working great. The learning curve is just really steep with 25 years smoking analogs.

This might sound odd but to reduce the draw strength I am breathing in my nose at the same time.

Yes; it's like riding a bike; it's easy but you still have to get the hang of it first;
Your test puff idea hit it on the head for me. I used to draw hard for the throat and lung and finish soft on the analogs. I think doing this on the vape is pulling too much liquid to the coil before the coil warms up. Also it seems I am guilty of trying to clear the chimney after releasing the fire button. So ending each puff with extra unvaped juice and starting with a hard pull on a cold coil were adding up to a mess.

There's the trick...or hold the tip looser in your lips so some air can come in around it...vary your lip grip to get the proper amount of extra air in the mix so it works the way you want it to. That's what I do with my Aspire BDC Novs-S glassomizers and they work great. I'm sure it will be the answer for your nautilus as well.
Some folks will always tell you to throw money at a problem to cure it when many if not most issues can be resolved by a little of what engineers call test and evaluation...but us mere mortals call trial and error

Yeah with the stress of nic fits and trying to vape while problem solving like I did with the analogs, I failed to add me into the equation. When you approach these things like machines it clicks like a lightbulb as far as what's needed. I have seen a suggestion to get a smaller bore drip tip in order to "stiffen" the drag without increasing the air pressure change.

Oh yeah; you're definitely getting the hang of it.
Another thing to do is hold the mouthpiece up to your ear and fire the power and get used to the sound of the atomizer; when you vape isn't performing as it should, listen to the atomizer to hear the difference;
like when the coil is flooded you will notice the different sound or lack of it; holding it upside down the coil if flooded you will also hear the sound change as the liquid drains away from the coil towards the mouthpiece, thus confirming that the coil was flooded; don't get nicotine in your ear though, it might itch.
I asked the Brick and mortar clerk about the ceramic coil and was told they take a long time to warm up so if your using an ego style battery you have to hold the fire button for 4 seconds or so then release it and then fire and puff. The eGo style stick batteries usually have a 7-10 second max fire time to protect against shorts. Also in cold weather they are harder to get warm enough to vape.

[QUOTEq=RippinLips204;12899269]where do you get this ceramic wick?[/QUOTE]
RBA Supplies.....I use 2mm with a 1/16th coil

Wick just holds the juice. I use a 1.1ohm coil around the 2mm ceramic wick. If I need it hotter then I build a lower ohm coil.
No such lag time for me. But it does give the ability to go forever without changing. Every few days I rinse and dry burn cleaning the coil and wick back to almost new.
Pulled top from mod I am vaping right now

Rinsed and partial dry burned

Rinsed again and dry burned until all moisture gone. Steam cleans the coil.

Put top cap back on and vaping again
