Aspire Nautilus longer life coils

[lobeydosser]

At the beginning of this year I changed over my basic attys to Nautilus Aspires because I liked the draws I got and the fact that they didn’t leak down any central hole.

At first, I started them on a low wattage until I found my “sweet spot” of around 7.5W.
Now although I now have 4 of these Aspires on the go, only one is used all day every day and the first of these lasted about 2 weeks. That suited me just fine and I didn’t mind replacing the coils every couple of weeks.

However, subsequent coils were then only lasting a week or so and eventually, after several months, I was so disappointed that I started keeping a record of just how long they were actually lasting . Some were lasting just 7 days, others 10. Not very satisfactory in my opinion.

 
On the 10th of last month with a gurgling coil, I went on U-tube to look for information on Nautilus Aspire Coils and came across one which recommended that I start a new coil on the lowest setting possible for a wee while and only then increase the wattage by 0.5 again for a wee while and continue to raise it by 0.5w until I reached my sweet point, to slowly “break in” the coil. By doing so this it would considerably lengthen the coil’s life.

Well it is true!!!!
I am changing this coil 28 days after starting with this new regime.
28 days!!!! Fantastic!!!!

On the nitty gritty side, I am vaping FlavourArt Royal Tobacco mix at 10% flavouring in a 50/50 mix.

The Coil that has just given me 28 days was the fourth of a packet of 5 X 1.8 ohm coils and of the previous 3 coils, the longest I had out of any of them was 10 days.

So from now on all my Aspire Coils will be “broken in”.

very interesting.

mine average 2-3 weeks and i go straight to 12watts and then upto 13 or 14.
depending on juice i do get the gurgling once in a while which is a pain but for the majority of juices especiall from drip drop ive never had any gurgling at all.

I used to get a week out of mine, almost like clockwork.

But recently it's been more like 4/5 days.

Interesting read.

Thanks.

I've just taken your advice and started off a fresh coil nice and low, shall keep a note

....but value for money, it matters! I like to get my full worth out of an item and I'm English (but a bit tight - granted)

CC is having the same issue with 50/50 juices and the Aspire coils. Will get her to try this.

[lobeydosser]

Hi Roscopecotrain, I use 50/50 in all my e-juices these days.

Much prefer the smoothness of these.

[lobeydosser]

Okay, I have gone through 4 coils since I changed to this new, low starting wattage for new coils.

Some success and some failures. The days worked out at 28, 9, 7 and 19.

From this I can only summarise that the 28 day one had been hand made by a Sumo Wrestler using an Irn Bru Girder instead of a coil and Asbestos instead of a Wick.

I have found that when the Aspire starts to gurgle, if I then put the wattage up by say 4W, the gurgling stops after a short time and I can then reduce it back to my usual wattage.

A much longer trial period will be required to get a true comparison, but at the moment I will continue to start my new coils at 4.5W and rise to 7.5W as they get older.

Is that always with genuine coils lobeydosser ??

[lobeydosser]

Yes markus

[markus]

I always bought genuine ones too, as I read reviews on FT about clone ones not being as good, I ended up swapping the atty on here because they never lasted very long....I thought it was just down to the sweet juices i mix....might try what youve suggested with these atlantis coils & see how it goes.
