But arent they a much smaller capacity? Part of the possibility of a nauti is the capacity.... Im sure theres different sizes. Mine it 3ml i think. But im sure the titanium one is 5ml. Perpetua can confirm this as she bought it The 5ml is an error. All the Kabukis, clones & genuine, are the same capacity. Claimed 3ml but I reckon it's 2.5ml or 2.75ml for the brave who fill over the top of the chimney and rely on surface tension for it not to overflow.

It's probably old news but I just ordered the vvtf v2a (latest rebuildable coil for nautilus/kabuki) meant to be a lot easier to use than the original,for 7.50 was worth a punt Good luck
I recoil Nautilus coil heads which is very fiddly. I am now going even fiddlier by making the coils NR/R/NR using silver crimps.
The VVTF Mk2 is epic fiddling.
Do let us know how far you throw it.

I save anything non minty in a 1 litre bottle. It's called 'End of the Road'. 2 vapers use it as their only juice. Started as 'End of the Road' next came 'End of the Road 1'. 'End of the Road 4' is nearly full Only one vaper has been given 'End of the Road Mint' to try 10 weeks ago. I usually hear from him once a month. I haven't heard from him.

Luna is a real character. She loves every human & dog. She greets them by squirming up to them on her back and if no bad vibes jumps all over them.
She is rarely on a lead. She stops at all road junctions and waits until told to cross.
But she has a mischievious streak a mile wide. In the last month she has run into 3 houses where people who know & fuss her had their doors open. The last one being our next door neighbours who were unloading shopping from their car. Luna emerged triumphant with one of their dog's toys.

TJ & gill2009 get the tissues before reading any further :- The trike was bought for Lulu, the chocolate cocker in the first photo. She had been lame for 2 months. Vet & animal chiropractor couldn't find out why. On the morning the bike was delivered she was found to have a huge growth under her shoulder muscle and had to be put to sleep 3 days later. Luna who was a year old last week loves to ride in the trike. When it gets warmer we will be back to doing our 9 mile circular ride taking in 3 parks and a wood.

The first one is a don't buy. They were great at first but the threading is poor. I am very kind to my threads by lubricating them with Contralube. I have 2 that are unusable and on the rest the air flow adjustment screws keep working loose. I have had them since May. I sold a couple but took them back in exchange for Nautilus Minis when the users kept breaking the glass.
The second is my favourite but it's not 5ml. It's the same as the others - about 2.5ml or 2.75 if you are really bold with filling.
The Ti one has a P3 threading ( lots of reports that it's wrong and doesn't fit P3 devices ) with a 510 adaptor. The adaptor is why I like it. Both my genuine 510 Kabukis & the clones all seep a drop through the 510 connection. This may be because I don't use the stock coils. The adaptor has a floating 510 & no seepage. Another benefit is the condensation collects there and doesn't go onto the mod. The designer now claims that was a design feature. Yeah right.
On all 3 types you have to treat the glass very gently. Do not grip the glass from both sides if you are removing it. I use a vape grip inside & outside on one side of the glass.

I was wondering if it was an age thing, where the more mature might prefer the more conservative whispy vape.This does not seem to be the case though as one friend of mine is 70 and not long got an alien and a beasty tank thingy. He absolutely loves it lol. Yes still more overall might stay whispy but I think that is shifting a little as people are learning and trying cloudage I think you are right about age. Only 5 of my 30 are in their 20's. There were 2 more but they were told to get lost for either not turning up when arranged or turning up with no arrangement.
Us oldies just want something simple to replace smoking. Ohms, watts & volts we'd have to get the grandchildren to set it up. We'll leave you whipper snappers to find your way through the fog.
In my town we have 2 vape shops and a permanent Socialites stand in a shopping centre. One shop only caters for whispy old farts. They wouldn't stock the iStick 30W because "It's too powerful for our customers". The other has a range of devices. When I walk by the shops often have no customers. I have never walked by the Socialites stand when they haven't had a customer there.
The BAT cigarette factory in Southampton was demolished and only the laboratories were left standing. They are now used solely for vaping research. I don't think much sub ohming is going on in there because I don't see any clouds when I shop at the Costco next door. Big tobacco know what people want. They just don't want them to have it cheap.

My attitude is that that you need to start on something that covers the basic bases, from whispy vaping to sub ohming. I think definitely a regulated mod for safety and a little education is needed. The trouble I see using something like a nautilus is that whispy vaping doesn't satisfy enough for a lot of people and then they try something like a crown and they wish they'd gone straight for that. So I see it as buying something that covers only one base and as being a waste of money tbh.After using something simple like an Evic and crown that covers all bases, then the newbie can get a good idea of which way to go. Whispy or Cloudy I mix for 30 vapers many of whom Angie & I introduced to vaping. Only one has gone sub ohm. A few use Protanks or K1s but the rest are using the iStick 30W & Nautilus Mini or Nautilus.
All but 3 have found the one liquid they like and use nothing else. One has the same 2 flavours. The other 2 will try anything and change flavours when they find one they like.
My experience is that the vast majority of new vapers want MTL. They all say they want tobacco flavour until they have a tasting session. Only 2 of the 30 have a tobacco flavour.
So for the best chance of converting to vaping you can't beat simple. We've only had 3 smokers who didn't switch and they said they found what I call simple to be too much faffing.
The sub ohmer is using 360mls a month. He was paying £4 for a Cleito coil until I got them for him for £2.
The MTLers nearly all have 60mls a month. Most pay £1.75 for a coil. 5 of them use coil heads that I recoil & wick for free.
We nutters enthusiasts are a tiny minority. The majority want it simple, cheap & as much like smoking as possible.

I've been using this company for a couple of months now for genuine Aspire products.
Great prices but items are often out of stock. However they respond quickly to emails with details of when the item will be in stock. I also use the 'email me when in stock' option if I don't need the item yesterday.
Website is basic. The address lookup option doesn't recognise my 7 character postcode which has been in use for years.

stu1873 I've been mixing for nearly 3 years. I mix several days each week because I make for about 30 vapers. Not so many years back shifting that many bottles a week that would have qualified you as a vendor Fortunately only 1 is a sub ohmer so the average is 2 bottles a month. It gives this retired old fart something to do and, equally important, people other than family to chat with.

stu1873 I've been mixing for nearly 3 years. I mix several days each week because I make for about 30 vapers. I still make mistakes. The difference between now & when I started mixing is that I know how to rectify them. My advice to a new mixer is to :- mix by weight, mix small amounts, keep a record of every recipe. Get every thing ready before you start. Line all the ingredients up in the order that you intend to add them. As you use each bottle put the cap back on and move it well away from the rest. Keep a pen & paper handy so that if you get interrupted you can note how much of the current ingredient you've added. AND if you are unsure about anything just ask on here. When I look back at some of the questions I had to ask I think I had an inkling of what was needed but was looking for reassurance that I'd got it right. Others I just couldn't get my head round but the forum stalwarts held my hand and talked me through them. They kept telling me 'There's no such thing as a stupid question' and there isn't.
