I currently have a nautilus Aspire and a Kangertech Protank 3 on a XVape V3 mod. I love the nautilus but it leaks on occasion. I'm thinking about another large tank that provide great flavor and lots of cloud. I have my eye on the Kangertech Genitank and Aerotank Turbo. Any of you have any experience with these or have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

The only time my Nautilus leaked was when I had a crack in the glass tank. I bumped it on a doorknob in passing and it cracked in the threads under the top cap. You couldn't see it until you removed the top cap, then a little crescent of glass fell out. The replacement pyrex tank was $7.99 and it fixed the leak.

Thin juices contribute to leaking and I'm mostly a 100% pg vaper.

I like the Kanger Aerotank Mega if the heads you buy are good. If you are into recoiling, try the Kayfun line. You wind a coil and install it (about 15 minutes or less once you do a couple). The coil is good until you break it and all you have to do is change the cotton wick about twice a week. That takes about 5 minutes and I do it during a juice refill. I replace my coil once ever month to six weeks. The flavor is as good or better than the Nautilus and it's consistently flavorful.

The best part about an RBA is cost. Instead of paying $15 for a 5 pack of heads, you buy a bag of organic cotton balls and a 100' roll of 28ga or 32ga Kanthal wire. That's about $10 and will produce coils for a year.

Here's how you recoil it.

If you like the Nautilus, you might like the Silo from Beyond Vapes. I haven't tried it myself but there are 3 or 4 reviews on YouTube loving it. It holds 5 or 6 ml and takes the same bvc coils as the Nautilus.

I'm really pleased with my aerotank from Kanger. If you want more liquid in the tank you might want to consider the genitank or aerotank giant. They are the same tank only the geni is chrome plated and the aerotank is stainless steel. Both take the kanger dual coils and come with the enclosed ones.

I just got the Silo tank from Beyond Vape and used it all day yesterday, I do a bout 380 to 500 puffs and it is a beast! It is almost like the Nautilus, but better in my opinion! So if you are sticking with a clearOmizer I would definitely suggest the Silo Tank by Beyond Vape and stick the apsire bvc coil in there!:thumb:

If you are going to build your own which I am thinking of doing, a lot of people are suggesting the Lemo tank, it is almost like the kayfun but the build deck is better. I am thinking of starting to build my own and I am leaning in that direction. I only started vaping 2 months ago and I am still searching for that flavor/heavy vape.

The tank is lightly fickle and you need to really read this thread to know the ins and outs of it, but it is a lot cheaper then the Kayfun which a lot of people swear by.

Quoted for truth. And that is a great reference thread on how to properly set one, or any of the several clones (I use a Rocket that I got for less than a pack of BVC) that are available.

Got the Silo in the mail and it looks awesome. Had a small scratch on the top cap close to the glass which is not a big deal. I put some of my fave juice in it, primed the coil with a couple drops and stuck it on my mod... Got no flavor, plenty of cloud but no flavor. I've been using it all day and I have some flavor now, but not very much at all. I'm assuming this is an issue with the coil? I've never had this problem with the Nautilus. Any thoughts?
