Which replaceable coil Tank for a beginner?

[keepitgoin]

OK, my mate wants to give Vaping another go. I persuaded her NOT to buy a "cheap" 650mAh battery and with so many offers on at the minute I picked up an MVP 3.0 at a fantastic price for her.
Now to the Tank: must have i) replaceable coil heads, that aren't too expensive, not Sub-oHm!!
                                         ii) a largish (5ml?) capacity
                                        iii) as leak free as possible
                                         iv) reasonably robust
I've been looking at Nautilus 5ml, with a steel Tank protector, but if anyone has any other ideas, or where the best TPD offers are at the minute, please let me know.
Does TW (sorry) have a Nautilus equivalent, as they have loads on clearance just now?

There would be more choice if he would settle for a smaller capacity, but you can't go wrong with a Nautilus.

I second there Nautilus 5mil.
Used for them last 3 years.

Where are they cheapest at present?

Yep, we discussed this too, but she wants to take it to the Pub and doesn't want the faff of refilling after a few drinks. I know when she has the hang of it she wont have an issue, but I reckon 5ml will last her a couple of days, easy, but with a couple of drinks her smoking increases (I know mine did, when I smoked) so 5ml will definately get her through 1 or more bottles of wine!

I wonder what the biggest Cubis tank is? TW sold them under some dodgy name of course
I say this as the 0.6ohm coils are very cheap from Fasttech and they vape comfortably in MTL range.
Using one right now at 14w. Preferable to Nautilus with the right drip tip.

Oops, missed the fact that it was a she.

Yep, her and my Mrs. like a drop of wine when they go out and reckon it's cheaper if they buy a bottle between them than a few glasses each. Never mind that they usually get through a bottle each!!

I used a Nautilus for about 18 months and couldn't find anything to better it that uses pre- made coils until the Triton Mini came out, and now that's the tank I couldn't live without.

IMV the fact that the Triton is "only" 2ml capacity is more than outweighed by the excellent and very simple to use top fill. I don't know if other users of the Nautilus had this problem but every so often I just couldn't get the glass tank off the base without an awful lot of effort. Without wishing to sound too sexist and patronising, that may be something to consider given that your friend is female.

I also chain vape when I'm drinking so I perfectly understand her dilemma

[Bobsbeer]

I would recommend an Eleaf GS Air M. Good MTL vape and the coils are reasonable from Fastech. Used on an iStick it's perfect. Capacity is around 3.5ml, but considering the 1.5 ohm coil the 3.5ml of juice lasts a reasonably long time. I use one as an all day vape and generally lasts. Cheap as chips from FT as well.

[keepitgoin]

She needs to get a Brand with coils she can get easily, buying from China ain't her style. As the new Nautilus V2 takes the same coils I figured out they'll be available for a while.
As she is pretty good at making stuff she'll come around to re-coiling herself when she realises how much cheaper it is.
I just want to get her to get used to Vaping the easiest and most reliable way and in my experience the major faff is leaking and learning to rebuild.

Hmmm...dunno if i would agree with this, not sure i get on with it and it isnt as good as protank/aerotank

[Bobsbeer]

Eleaf coils are readily available in the UK. Just a bit cheaper from China.

I've seen a couple of newbie vapers try the Protank 4 lately and they love them. One was using a nautilus but much prefers the protank.
I know I'll get shot down for this but I consider the nautilus pretty dam crap and just don't get the hype with them. Although the version 2 may be better

^ I never had any luck with them either so you have my support
