I've had no problem with mine, and I have 4 of them. Two with the 1.8 coil and 2 with the 0.7. I know it may sound OTT but I'm new to vaping and having problems with flavours, probably due to shot taste buds, although they must be on the mend as I'm starting to taste liquids I couldn't before. I've been loading up with various liquids before 20th may, and I have some rubbish amongst my purchases. Some are ok for a couple of draws but I won't waste them. So I'll vape them till I can't vape them no more, then swap to a flavour that I am finding bearable (ry4, heisenberg or Strawberry Milk) If there's a problem with the Nautilus 2 that I've found, it's that it can be a pain from time to time getting the top off to fill. The colar that covers the air holes could do with knurling to give you something to grip onto. But I've had no leaks, and I find it hard to imagine getting through a tank full in a day.

So, to open a can of worms, what can I expect by installing the 0.7 ohm coil in the Zelos. I'm aware that I'll need to go up a few watts, but I'm curious to how it'll affect flavour, throat hit and battery consumption. I think a 1.8ohm coil in one of my tanks is going to need changing in the not so distant future, and thought if it worthwhile that I'd give it a go 🤔

I guess I've spent more than expected, certainly more than I did on smoking per week, but I can't see me having to buy more at the moment. I've got enough RY4 to keep me going for a while. Saying that,I will buy an odd bottle to try from time to time, if I read here of any recommendations that are tempting. I guess I get frustrated that I can't enjoy all the flavours thst everybody speaks so highly of. And even my rated buds scan change over a day. RY4 was excellent at first as I didn't need to vape it for long to get my fix, but I'm vaping it for longer now, and at times can seem quite mild. But as I've already said, on the plus side,I haven't been swayed towards cigarettes

Well it was my first weekend away vaping, first vape whilst having a beer, and first vape stuck in a traffic jam, and I've survived without tearing someone's eyes out 😂
RY4 has been excellent, shame about RY6 as reading its description made me think I'd like it more. But it will come in handy at a later date. It tastes fine and would beat RY4 had it given the same throat hit. Heisenberg has also been not too bad, and seems that the name translated is 'Vic Vapour Rub' as that was what came to mind 😂 . Strangely I'm not keen on menthol, but I can vape Red Astaire and Heisenberg.
Vampire Vape's Colonel Custard, blackcurrent and chocolate seemed a bit weak for me at the moment, but nothing is getting binned as I'll try it again one day. I've got a blackjack and a coffee yet to try, and I'm trying not to just stick with RY4, although I've just ordered some more.
So thanks again for all the help, I'm getting there slowly.

😂 If I can handle a vape and a pint I think I can manage without smoking at all.

I'm fine that way Postmodern Smoking. I have no interest in lighting up. I'm enjoying the garbage tastes too much I don't need to smoke, it's just at the moment when the craving starts I'm still thinking cigarette is the only cure, when vaping is enough to take the craving away. Getting off tobacco flavours may help, but I'm not getting the same hit from those I've tried yet. Getting big my taste buds will help but I can't just flick a switch I've just hit another first. I pint and a vape 😂

Thanks pipeman01. Yes I've kept the naff stuff. My taste can change hourly. The RY4 that give an excellent throat hit can sometimes seem smooth which blooming annoys me. Ive a vampire vapes blackcurrent that supposedly was too strong a taste that's weaker than the strawberry I had. Kind of looking forward to a too strong fruit.
Just had a 2 hour car journey that was strange without a cigarette, but had no problems. A couple of draws on the Ry4 and I'm too top again. Can't say I'm enjoying my vaping because of my taste buds.
I think my mind set has changed since starting. It was to stop me smoking originally but think the first port of call is to stop thinking of cigarettes. They'd probably taste rubbish too now if I tried one.

Thanks Chykensa. It is to help those that will switch from smoking to vaping that I kept all my 'new to vaping' woes in one thread. There's me thinking I needn't flavour shop this week, but your reply is making me think to grab some more 24mg tobacco while I can. I do have some 18mg in ry4, so may give that a try to see what throat hit it gives beforehand. I don't think anybody who has their first cigarette would say "ah, that was yummy". And the Hangsen 24mg RY4 had that effect with me. I can't vape it for long periods and I don't need to. If I could have a couple of tobaccos like that and a couple of occasional fruit / sweet / desert etc alternatives to keep vapers tongue away, then I should be ok. In other words, I'll be back on here shortly with a shed load of more problems

Thank you. I can manage with these forums, but it's as far as I go regarding social media. I can't handle Facebook and reading about what someone's having for lunch etc, and being in the wrong for not logging on because they messaged me, and it was urgent, when they could just as well rang me. Anyway I've had my deliveries for the week. You're all leading me astray , I got some ry4 and ry6, some coffee, chocolate, blackjack, custard and most of your recommendations. I've had a blast of ry4. I can't say it tasted special, but strooth, it had a good throat hit. Thought I'd swallowed a hedgehog. Admittedly it was a 24mg. Would that increase the throat hit over an 18mg?

Sizzlebox is starting to look not so interesting. I'll probably stick with recommendations for now

Thanks DJS, l'll have a good google tomorrow for some RY6. Reading about it sounded like my kind of vape.
Thank you too Darkginger. Sizzlebox may be a good thing for me as it'll make me try flavours I probably wouldn't have thought of adding to a shopping cart, and I've been paying more than that a week on various flavours. The extra couple of tanks I've ordered will help.
I haven't done too bad today to be fair. I've used the Red Astaire a bit more trying to get my taste buds back. My first draw on the Cirri Sun was quite strong, so I reduced the watts down to 11.5 from my standard 14w, as I had noted that previously as my vaping session went on, the less taste I was getting. Maybe the higher watts wasn't helping the vapers tongue, or maybe I'm just getting my taste buds back slooooowly.
And just as I was thinking 'this vaping is better today' the damn coil went. But it worked out ok in the end as with the new coil I no longer have the spitting on the T18e, and doesn't sound like I'm sucking on a firework.
P.S , A quick query regarding the Sizzlebox. It states the flavours will be as high VG as possible, from what I've been reading it sounds like I need 50/50 for the flavour and throat hit rather than the vaper

crag In addition to all the good advice above... Did You get hold of any Hangsen tobacco flavours? I reckon these would suit You as You say You're getting on well with 'baccy flavours & after the throat hit. Hangsen seem to get 'dissed' a bit elsewhere but imo, Their tob. flavours are hard to beat:- suggest 'Red USA' for strong flavour & throat hit, 'Golden Tobacco' (ex='RY6'...) good too. Im hoping for a delivery tomorrow, and will see how they go, as looking at your recommendations I didn't select the right ones, 😂 I did notice the RY6 but it said discontinued.

Hi Crag - as a fellow sufferer from vapers' tongue, I was wondering if you'd considered trying some coffee flavours? I think a nice dark coffee-type juice really cuts through any tongue fuzziness, and is in the same flavour family as tobacco. Also, some juice manufacturers seem to have more flavoursome liquids than others - I find Triphammer and Sailor Sauce particularly good (though not sure the latter go any higher than 6mg, now I think about it). Anyway, good luck on your journey - vaping is so much more interesting than smoking Thanks Darkginger. I wouldnt call vaping more interesting than smoking at the minute. I feel like a pain in the backside relying on forum members to get me out the mire. Although I'm more than grateful for everybody's input. I've seem to have spent a lot, although I'm still confident it will save me a lot in the long run. If I could just walk into a shop and pick up a coffee flavour, it make things so much easier. It seems a bit daft ordering 10ml at a time, but will add your recommendation to next weeks list, Then there's the stress of trying to work out whether I'm doing something wrong. I use to smoke between 10 -15 cigarettes a day, I'd have 2 one after the other on the way to work to carry me through to break, and being as I didn't smoke in the home I'd do the same on the way home. Although would nip out in the garden for an odd one in the evening. So with vaping, I probably vape for the 15 minute duration it takes to get to work, and the same on the way home again. I'll vape in my lunch break, and I'll have a vape session in the evening. I'm vaping for a longer period of time than it would to smoke a cigarette, it's just the regularity is the same as when I smoked. I'm only using approx 2ml per day, but whether the length of a session is causing the vapers tongue. Its just trying to get to the flavour, and the throat hit.

I'm not sure I'm after a cigarette to be fair. I think I've read enough to convince me that the tobacco flavours are anything like a cigarette. But after trying a few liquids from different manufacturers, I do seem to be getting on with so called tobacco flavours as ADV's rather than fruits. It may be that I've just not come across a fruit that would suit me as an all day vape yet. My tastes seem to be changing daily, sometime good and sometimes damn awful. The OK Smokey BNH I was nearly vaping exclusively, but for trying fruit flavours out at least once a day, and then got vapers tongue. I never craved between vaping either, like I have with the Manabush stuff I tried BNH again yesterday and still can't taste it. But at the same time was wondering if vapers tongue is also hampering all tobacco flavours. I should be able to try a 24mg flavour this week which may answer a question or two. It may be that I'm still craving a cigarette, but I'm in denial, determined not to light one up. It's just so frustrating reading about all these great flavours.
I guess I've got to be a bit more patient

Sorry about the bold text, it wasn't meant to highlight big throat hit anymore than big taste, as both are important at the moment. I've also learnt today that I can't switch flavours after Red Astaire or any other thicker liquids without changing a coil, unless I vape for a day on an empty tank, lol. I don't know if I did a daft thing mixing a tank half and half with Nokomis and Osuma. Bad flavour but good throat hit. From what I've been reading about curing vapers tongue, I think I'm in need ykchew a few lemons, yuk. Sorry but that's wrong advice. There's nothing wrong with mixing up your juices, in fact you might find that you'll enjoy the odd cocktail. I cant possibly imagine the day I'd vape an empty tank!! A tank or two of menthol usually cures vapours tongue for me, but as I've usually quite a few flavours in rotation it's not a problem What I meant was the Red Astaire is so thick, that it sticks in the coil. I've tried 3 different flavours since the red astaire has been in the tank and all turn red when the tanks filled and all still taste of Tunes. Hence the tongue in cheek comment that I'd need to vape on a dry tank for a day to rid the Red Astaire out of the coil
