What watt is best with nautilus

[Crystaldm]

I am fairly new to this vaping, it has been two weeks. Getting through all the side affects of quitting like coughing, burning throat,losing vape taste. But my big ques is what to vape at. I have an aspire nautilus with 20watt, on 1.8ohm bvc. juice is 70/30 I believe. I read the charts and read some forums. Some say 8 watts and others say 11-12 watts. I just want a good taste. What is my best option for wattage? And not burn my coils or my throat.

The rule of thumb for EVERY vape device you'll ever own is the same. Start low power, take a draw and bump it up to repeat. If it starts to taste funny, gets too hot or tastes burnt, back it down. Different flavors will have different sweet spots so you just have to experiment.

I usually vapes my Nautilus around 12 watts, depends on the juice.

Go as low as you can go for the best flavor...I vape between 8 and 10 Watts depending on the juice ratio...but 11-12 is not that high...right now I'm vaping a toptank nano with a 1.5 Ohm coil / 50/50 juice at 9 watts with the airflow wide open...

Just my opinion...

+1 on what @Sir2fyablyNutz said.

When I used a Nautilus I ran it at between 14-17 watts using 50/50 juice.

 

[Crystaldm]

Thank you. I am at 4.2v now and it is sweet. But can't find a happy spot with my royal clouds flavors

Maybe I will have to try that high with my other flavors

By my calculations...approx. 9.8 Watts (based on your stated 1.8 Ohm coil @ 4.2 V). Not bad...

When I switched, My taste buds were pretty damaged. Taste was slow to come back.

Here's another dumb ques. When you say tank do you mean the glass part that holds the liquid?

Yes...the whole assembly that hold the juice (less the battery) is considered the 'tank'...

 

[Mannie]

Yeah, a "tank" is a type of device that is designed to hold e-juice versus "drippers" which, as the name suggests, you have to drip juice on the wick often.
I used to have a nautilus, the sweet spot for me was 10 watts right on the nose.

 

[Crystaldm]

Thank you so much everyone. 9 watts is good for my choc covered marshmallows and will try the other ones later. The charts I read were wrong then because they showed over 8 watts would burn. Glad I joined this.

 

[Crystaldm]

Another ques, how long should a 1.8ohm coil last?

 

[pappcam]

You mentioned volts in one post. What mod/battery are you using?

My first setup was the Aspire Premium Kit which was a Nautilus Mini and the CF/VV+ mod which only controlled volts. I ran that at 4.3 volts and when I got a mod that did watts I ran them at 10 watts.

How long a coil lasts depends on how much you vape and what kind of juice you use.

Welcome @Crystaldm

There are so many factors regarding "best watts to run" and "how long a coil will last".

You got some good answers regarding the first - as others mentioned, start low and work your way up (especially with a new coil!) Keep in mind, different juices will taste better at different levels. So a setting that works well with one juice may be wretched with another. You will have to play a bit and maybe keep track of what works well where.....

Regarding coil life - same thing. Different juices (sweeter, darker) will be harder on a coil than lighter, less-sweet juices. Also, depends on how often you are using your mod.

I have the Nautilus and the Nautilus Mini tanks. I often soak my coil after one full-size tank full or two Mini tankfuls in unflavored vodka for a few hours or overnight. Rinse and let airdry.

When the flavor starts getting cruddy, it's probably time to change a coil.

Glad you're here. Pull up a chair and your vape and make yourself at home

Just got a Nautilus Mini yesterday, and whilst I've tried every wattage from 3.0 up to 15.0, I like it best at around 3.5W with a 1.8Ω atomiser, which fits with my preferences on other setups.

 

[suprtrkr]

Hi and welcome. I tried to stay under 15 watts on mine when I was using them.

 

[Hotwire]

I use my nautilus mini with 1.8 bvc with or 1.8 clapton coils with no more than 30-40VG (I find 50VG too thick, doesn't vape well, you need the 1.6's for that IMO) and vape the normal coils around 15-17W but with the clapton coils have to go right down to 11-13.5W. I prefer the regular 1.8 BVC, NON claptons most.

 

[djsvapour]

14.2 watts today. 50/50.

If I was using 70/30 (VG) I'd be down around 12 watts.

 

[gandymarsh]

Yep, my juice is 65/35 or 60/40 VG/PG and I vape at 12 or 12.5 watts. Any higher and I get wicking problems.
