Well. I don't do that facebookery, twittery or instagrump stuff, never wanted too, never will. Maybe I'm anti-social lol. I've always used forums and am still a member of a couple going back to 2001/2003. I don't deny that FB etc., has taken away from certain forums, but thankfully not all. A couple of the car forums I use are as busy as they ever were. This place really is fantastic, I don't post that much but I do visit every day and have learnt everything I need from this site, and I thank one and all for that. What I have noticed with all forums I use, is that they have all become nicer places since social media came along. Maybe all the people who like to stir thing up have long since attached themselves to FB and the like where they can menace others there instead. AAEC will last well into the future because of the lovely people here

MTL during the day - about 4ml (10mg nic). Sub-ohm in the eveneings and weekends - about 6ml (3-6 mg nic). So 10ml+ total a day.

Many of the people I work with vape and none make their own liquids, so I just ask them for their used bottles now (they would just throw them anyway). Many use Lancashire Steam Company too, so I get the nice unicorn bottles. I give them a good wash and soak in a bicarb solution and they are like new. I see it as recycling.

oldleatherlungs Thanks, these 0.15ohm Ni200 Triton Mini coils would also fit a mini Nautilus then I suppose?

Just got some Naultilus 2 0.7 Ohm coils. Now, these are much, much better than the stock Nautilus ones. That's a relief.

Yeah I have Kodi and Pulse CCM on my firesticks. So not that much of an issue for me. The firestick youtube app was pretty good though and there will be a lot of hacked off people who don't use Kodi, maybe some with gifts for xmas. I wonder what Amazon's return policy is like, as if this happens there will be tons of firesticks heading back.

TJ Cheers. Good shout on the 30w Istick, I'd forgotten about those. I looked on FT, but they are only marginally cheaper than ebay, so I've ordered a black one for £17.

OK. Just to follow up. I bought some of the Triton Mini Coils and plonked one in my Mini Nautilus. They are much better than the stock Nautilus coils for sure. Not mind blowingly different, but enough to get a decent vape again. Thanks for the tips on those. Next I'll try the Nautilus 2 ones.
Btw will a 20W Istick take a 0.7 Ohm coil. If not I may need to get hold of a cheapo MTL type mod - any recommendations? I've had a quick look on myepack (I still have an account there), but not sure what's good (and cheap enough) these days. I find now at home I only use Smok Aliens, but out and about I like to carry a couple of Nautilus/Isticks with me, just for ease of use, simplictity and the pocket firendliness really.
Thanks again.

I sometimes think it's me as well. But.............. I still use an ego-c twist every day with a Mini Protank 1 on the top with a rewired kanger coil and a bit of jap cotton shoved in it. I only use it in the morning as I still like a tobacco eliquid first thing. And you know what, with a newly wired coil it still tastes amazing and is still very good. Also, remember those Naturvape coils, they are really very good too.
So no, I don't wear the argument that it's our tastes that have changed. The Nautilus tank was great when they first came out. I really think that the coils are a different beast from the early days.

Aha, thanks Perpetua. Very interesting too that the 0.7 Ohm Nautilus 2 coils fits too. I'll give those both a try.

What's happened to the Mini Nautilus. I remember when I first tried one 3 years ago the flavour and draw was amazing. I still chuck an Istick with a Nautilus on into my pocket every time I go out.
However, it seems to me over time these have got worse. It must be the coils. The flavour is muted, the draw always seems too tight. I've cleaned the tanks in everything from 99% IPA, Bicarb, vinegar, Ultrasonic Cleaner etc. The coils are definitely genuine and I've obtained them from various sources.
Sometimes I think it's me, but then I recall how good they used to be.
What's going on? HELP!!

I received the Xtar SV2 today. It's actually very similar to the SP2. But the display is very useful as it gives the percentage charge. I charged a couple of 25Rs in about an hour at 2A. What's useful too is that it charges NiMH as well. I've got a couple of 1300 mAH AAs charging at the moment and it seems to charge much quicker than the Nitecore D2, which I'd normally use for NiMH.
Definitely recommended if you like the SP2 or a new charger that can do both slots at 2A.
