why shouldnt you use a nautilus on a mech?

[Not Sure]

in not entirely new to vaping. ive had pretty good coil building help from others and have built some good ones for rda's.

but out of curiousity, why do i hear vape shop employees say that using a nautilus or similar tank on a mech mod would drain the battery etc?
ive tried it of course, and it doesnt work as well as on a vw but why?

shouldnt a 1.6 or 1.8 ohm build use LESS from a mech?

Well, any coil that you fire will drain your battery.

Higher ohm builds will use less current, and therefore use less power. On a mech anyway.

It doesn't work as well as on a VV device, because to get higher watts on a high resistance build you have to pump in more volts, which a mech can't do. Boosting your voltage will drain more from your battery than not boosting, but still I don't see how their argument adds up at all.

i was always wondering why i kept hearing that from them, and other shop people. it didnt make sense to me at all. thanks for the reply, i thought i was just missing some simple detail or something lol

Disclaimer: I know that not every B&M employee is dishonest or not very knowledgeable about the equipment they sell. But, it does seem that many are at the least very biased based on the amount of profit they may make off of one setup vs. another.

With that out of the way. I'd take anything you hear from a shop owner/employee with a grain of salt. I'd rather listen to the opinions of 200 or 300 end users (here on ECF) and then make my own conclusion. Cause taking the advice from a dozen shop folks who are also trying to sell you something isn't a very big pool of unbiased opinions.

the reason it confused me the first time is b/c i went there and bought an atty, nemesis clone, nautilus tank, batteries etc on the 1st visit. it was clear to the employee that i was buying all this at the same time.
but he made it clear to me that i "shouldnt" use the nautilus on the nemesis. he didnt suggest another item, he said the nautilus was a good tank, but not to use it on the nemesis. i went to another shop months later and asked an employee why shouldnt i use it on a mech, and he pretty much said the same thing, but also that i would just end up flooding the tank by using it on a mech. i know this probably seems really stupid to the pros out there,

You can use any delivery device you want to on a mechanical as long as the resistance doesn't exceed the CDR of the battery you use.

100% sure you can successfully run a Nautilus on a mech.

If your atomizer is a 1.8ohm, it'll vape at 10w (almost) on a fresh battery.

That's not as good as 11w or more on a VV/VW.

I don't really understand what the shop is telling you. Sounds like they have some interest in selling you something they want to sell you.

I've used mini Nautilus often on a Nemesis.

That shows what a good part of B&M workers knowledge is. I've run a nautilus and Kayfun lite on my nemesis with zero ill effects. The only thing is that a mechanical just puts out whatever level the battery is at and will decrease with use, whereas a regulated mod will keep your volts or watts at a set level until the battery is unable to produce what is demanded. The power used by whatever atty is determined by the resistance of your coil and the voltage of the battery. A 1.6 ohm or so coil will use far less battery than say a dripper with dual coils at .4 ohms.

I use a Nautilus Mini on a Panzer Black Hawk mech mod. Everything seems fine to me
