Nautilus coils leaking

[thebishman]

Just wondered if anyone is having the same issue and myself. The base keeps filling up with juice till it come outs the airflow hole.

Have changed the coil many times so dunno if i have a bad batch or whether its a wider scale issue.

I got them from an amazon link recommended by someone on here (i forget who now). And also havent checked the scratch n sniff bit either. Maybe i should!

My god its annoying

Have never had one leak on mine, I only use the minis though, have bought countless times from Amazon, think it's Shoreditch you mean, I've randomly checked the barcodes and all have been legit. Last time I did use one of the full size though I do remember it leaked now you've reminded me. I only stopped using the full as I have dinky mods and they look top heavy.

Thats the one TJ. Was shoreditch.

Its bloody annoying! I think its the batch of coils as im sure it didnt leak before i got these coils

one of the reasons I gave up on the nautilus was because the 'new' BVC coils leaked something rotten. A couple of puffs and they would gurgle and empty.
I bought a few packs on Amazon around August last year, genuine according to the scratch panel but there were loads of people reporting the same problems and not just in the UK.
At the time the old horizontal coils became like gold dust for rebuilders.

Solely use the Nautilus and occasionally get leaks and gurgles but usually fairly reliable. Usually a good blow sorts them out.
Bought coils from Shoreditch no problems.

Another tip I found is to close the air hole before removing the tank to fill and start on the smallest hole for a couple of vapes.

I had a nautilus for ages back when i first started vaping. Never leaked or gargled once. Then went off into the vaping hardware journey and only recently decided to buy one again.

My nauty mini don't leak at all, had 1 of the big nautys when I first started vaping and that leaked, the shop changed it for another one and that leaked so got the mini instead.

I'm finding my coils in the mini aren't lasting very long at all 3 days at the most using RA.

[TJ]

The newer ones certainly don't last like they used to minime, I only use them for one tank with my RA mixes for driving to and from work every day so not a lot of use really and they used to go on for near on 3 wks, now I am lucky to get a week out of them. They did change something not so long ago but I can't remember what and it's since then that they don't last, I am sure it was the wicking they were using that they changed.

Couldn't get on with the big Nauti due to flooding & gurgling. My son uses them and you can hear it gurgling away. So I went for the mini.

I've been recoiling the Nautilus coil heads for 2 years. First year no problems then we started to get flooding.

I can't find out why. There is an Oring that sits below the flange. I got some replacements and no change. Next step was the grommet the pin goes through. I had some made in silicone and no change.

Now looking at the wicking. I use cotton tape and different thicknesses make no difference. A couple of days ago I wicked with Muji cotton. Didn't get to find out if it still flooded as the flavour was so muted I took it out.

Aspire are very secretive about changes they make to the coils. Could they have changed the wicking material again?

I deal with the flooding by taking the drip tip out, wrapping the tank in kitchen roll and give it a good shaking.

thebishman Have you tried replacing the big seal that sits on top of the base?
