Well according to Aspire's "Scratch and Check" my BVC coils are fakes. Bought them from ebay. I have to go look up the seller.

Where is the best price (shipped) from a reputable source?

EDIT: Also these are 1.6 ohm heads.

EDIT again: If I decide to get any more, it looks like 101 is the way to go.
I just ordered some from eBay as well, I hope they are real... I really want to love my nautilus (which is a clone BTW), but the BDC heads are such a hit and miss...

I recently purchased a couple of the new Kanger coils from a local B&M and got several dry hits the first day...

A few weeks ago, I got 10 of the single Kanger coils from Ebay UK, used one and it leaked. Checked it against the one that came out of the Protank and they're a tiny bit smaller overall than the real thing! Chimney metal is slightly thicker too.
Boxes looked genuine, but no scratch & check on them.

First & last time I order coils from Ebay!

Yes, the V2 coils do that, but not a lot...just enough to anger me. I noticed it mostly after a few days of use...not so much when they're fresh

Glad I only bought one Aerotank mini - must be the tank itself because the V2 coils are used in the MOW, and I've had no problems with that :( I don't like malfunctions!

Has anyone checked out Beyond vapes "Silo" its a tank they just came out with that uses the Aspire BDC and BVC coils and sports a different style look. I honestly like the way my nautilus looks compared to it,I have no clue why all the new tanks/Clearomizers that come out now have to look Kayfun-ish...Nothing wrong with the way the kayfun looks but I like variety and not have my stuff all the look the same...But then again that's just me and there's nothing at all wrong with more options!

So, IF I get a mini Nautilus (Okay, I ordered one and it should be here tomorrow . . . ) do I fill it with my favorite liquid to see if it could be even better or one that's not quite hitting for me to see if it finally tastes delicious?
Oh what a dilemma! :laugh: I hate deciding what to put in any new one!
Personally, I'd try it with something you're very used to (I did) and see if it tastes different.

For me, at first it tasted a little bit off. That was partly due to it taking a good while to soak in and 'get comfortable', partly that I needed to go from 750w to 800w with the MVP2. By the time I did that, I got a better taste than I'd been perfectly happy with before! :)

Oh, don't tell me that. I'm afraid that I put in something that I already love and then love it more I'm going to be dissatisfied with the others I love as they are. It's not the cost of the tanks; it's the $3 coils. Oh, what to do, what to do . . .

Yep I have to go with this too! It always give me a thrill to taste something I know I like and love in something that'll make it even better!
Later on you can try those flavors that didn't hit for you the first time to give'em a second chance.For it's easier to get used to a device with e-juice
you know what its suppose to taste like and the nuances in it.I really hope you enjoy your new tank!! After you used for while I really would like
to know what you think of it!

If there's others you love as they are already, then you still will :)

I know, the cost of coils is high - personally, I'm going to get some from FastTech and hopefully they'll be fine. I've had Kanger and Innokin ones from them in the past, so hopefully the Aspire will be good too.

I've noticed the draw get tighter as the days go by too!
I'm thinking the screen is down the chimney, ...and the Q-tip is used dry ..and put down the 'chimney' then used to wipe away the gunk? .......Aha! now read on.......

I left the above as I wrote it a short while ago - was just about to say that I've just cleaned a coil by rinsing it & soaking in mild soapy warm water for a couple of hours, then soaking it in vodka overnight and then rinsing thoroughly in clean warm running water. I set it down in a stand a few hours ago to dry out properly for when I want to change my current coil.
So, I got a Q-tip ..couldn't even see anything down the chimney, but oh my word! Looked like black oil or soot on the end of it after a swirl around! After a few more swirls I can actually see that silver toned mesh clearly!
I'm really surprised that all that running warm water, soaking and vodka didn't move it! I could actually see through the side holes that the lining material was white again too.

Now I've tried doing that with the one I'm using! I have found that the gunk came off the rinsed & soaked one easier, and left it totally bright metal. The one I'm using hasn't come quite as clean so easily, but the draw is improved and the liquid tastes much better.
So yes, this is good to prolong the life of the coil, but also very good for extra cleaning after soaking!

Thanks for passing that on :)
Remains to be seen how the 'washed' one performs ...perhaps in a day or two I'll find out.
Well dang, you thought you had discovered a black hole only to find it was trickery solved by swirling Q-Tips.

I got mine from 101Vapes.com. The mini nautilus was only $24.99 and the five pack of coils was $12.99. As far as I can tell it's authentic. They shipped fast too. I ordered early Saturday morning and received it today.
My code checked out fine on the BVC coils from 101 Vape but I had a box of bad coils. I called Aspire because my pack of coils were bad. They told me that they are not an Aspire reputable dealer. 101 Vape blocked me from calling and never answered my emails. I reported them to the BBB. Be careful!

I just wanted to briefly confirm that the heads I bought off ebay were not authentic, so they are out there already. I got a Mini today and its a completely different experience. Regardless of any questions about the safety, I'm getting a very enjoyable vape with a MUCH looser draw.

Its insane how fast they work...but since the clones are coming out china and Aspire is a china based company you think they would at least attempt a lawsuit of some kind...From articles I read conterfeiting is getting so out of hand in China that there are even fake Apple stores where even the employee's didn't know they were working at fake Apple store. Some times the store would only be a few feet away from the real one and they would have the uniforms and everything.

I have a question if any knows the answer I would appreciate it. Would it be legal to create and sell your own cheaper or improved coils to be used in a Aspire or Kanger tank? I know that there are tanks out there that are not made by Aspire or Kanger that use coil heads made by Kanger/Aspire...Although in the end there's probably no way to produce them at cheaper cost..but if some could find a way to might be a very cool idea.

Wow...that's horrible! I bought them from there and they checked out ok too...but my seemed to work fine.Hopefully it's just a case of them buying them from a someone else that bought them from Aspire...I really hope that they get back to you.

The "Not an Authorized Dealer" is industry speak for "They sell below our MSRP, so we act like we dont know them", its the same with Innokin. They're selling authentic products and i'd be willing to bet they're buying their product DIRECTLY from the manufacturers.

I have no idea what transpired to lead them to block you, but 101 is about one of the easiest vendors to deal with out there.

If you had a problem with the coils, you should have contacted them and i'm nearly positive they would've taken care of you.

For example, just last week i received BDC coils from 101, when i ordered BVC's, it took 2 emails and a picture and the correct heads were in the mail that day, and i was allowed to keep the BDC's.

I feel like we're not getting the whole story here.
