Panic: mini nautilus BVC coils

[MrDJ]

I'm having the same issue - this is my first mini nautilus and quite frankly so far I am not enjoying it - first coil I used 2.1

2.1?
i thought the mini nautilus bvc coils only came in 1.6 or 1.8

I just meant check the resistance of the coils on your device, they could be duff if they have a high reading.

[MrDJ]

ahh ok sorry DOH!

readings are all the same as working coils.

working coil
11w 4.5v 1.9ohm
15w 5.3v 1.9ohm

duff
11w 4.3v 1.7ohm
15w 5.0v 1.7ohm

duff
11w 4.5v 1.9ohm
15w 5.3v 1.9ohm

duff
11w 4.3v 1.7ohm
15w 5.0v 1.7ohm

duff
11w 4.5v 1.9ohm
15w 5.3v 1.9ohm

Just checked and indeed the coils supplied with the tank are supposed to be 1.8 however on the istick it reads 2.1 and on the mvp its showing 1.9 - these were the genuine Aspire BVC ones that came with the nautilus.

I'm having the same issue - this is my first mini nautilus and quite frankly so far I am not enjoying it - first coil I used 2.1 (the one that came with the tank) burnt almost immediately even though I knew to prime it and to wait a good 10 mins to allow the coil to fully saturate before using it, and I started at a mere 3watts! Got very little flavour through it at all and after another few attempts ramping up the wattage a bit (but never going over 10w) it just started to taste blinking awful. I didn't want to believe the coil could have burned out in under an hour and with very little use but decided to switch the coil for the 2nd one that came with it, and to take the first one apart to see if I could figure out what was wrong - it was absolutely black inside and completely burned. Second coil hasn't been taken over 5 watts but the vapour production and taste is nothing like what I'm used to getting from my protanks. I've got some 1.8 and 1.6 coils from fasttech which I am going to try this morning and I'm going to switch from my istick30 to the mvp2 and see if that makes any difference but so far I have been very disappointed with the nautilus.

How are you priming the coil ?

Juice directly into the coil via the holes on the side a few drops at a time waiting for each drop to disappear then repeat ... probably did that about 5 or 6 times then fit the coil into the tank and leave sitting in the juice for 10 more mins before vaping - starting off at 3 watts with the airholes wide open.

Going to play with some bvc heads next week using igual method, if I get it right I'll be able to do these for peeps as well as the protank/subtank types.

Awwww poop! I've thrown loads away!

Oh dear DiscoDes

Do that but also 3 or 4 drops onto the mesh via the big hole at the top of the head. Drop it on the mesh but try to avoid the central hole

Something wrong there then. which istick battery you got. if the 30 then i have no idea why its reading 2.1

[snow]

Yeah it is the istick 30, have switched the nautilus to the mvp now - slight improvement on the flavour - I can at least taste the juice now but nowhere near as much flavour as the protank will probably "waste" this head and put a fresh one in a bit later and see if that helps at all but one things for sure the nautilus prefers the mvp.
