Nautilus Replacement Options

[gtrthang]

I've used Aspire Nautilus for many years to the point that I wear out the threads. The last few tanks I have bought have been low quality and I'm thinking it may be time to move on to something more modern. I am not interested in Sub-Ohm vaping (been vaping for a long time and don't care for how they hit). Typically my coils are 1.8. Any recommendations? Looking for something similar, is rugged enough to survive my pocket, doesn't leak, good size tank, and a reasonable cost for coils. Thanks!

Poor quality Nautilus tanks? Haven't experienced that myself, but ok...
A way to refresh your vaping experience would be to try one of the newer Nautilus mesh coils, if you haven't done so already... maybe the 1.0 mesh coil, rated for 13-15W?

Otherwise, maybe have a look at the Innokin Zenith 2, another great MTL tank. Imho it is not really an improvement over the Nautilus, but it does vape a bit differently, so that might do the trick for you.

For a real improvement in vape quality though, I think you would have to for a good MTL-RTA, since there isn't anything better around stock-coil-wise than these two... imo.

Agreed

Thanks. I may try a different supplier also. I may have been sent some knock off tanks. Really have no desire to change, but will also look into the options you all have sent.

 

[gotch23]

If in doubt whether you have been sent knock-offs, you could use those "scratch-and-check" verification codes found on the packaging and enter them into the aspire website.

Product Verification Center

Aspire has upgraded its anti-counterfeiting system, requiring users to check security codes on their account to verify products.

In any case, I would buy from a reputable US vendor with guarantee, ability to return, etc.

Here's what options there are out there @gtrthang.

Aspire Nautilus GT

Innokin Zlide

Freemax Fireluke 22 (somewhat hard to find the tanks, but there's some out there)

Since pods hit the market MTL tanks have become more scarce.

Yes, I highly recommend any of the MTL Innokin Zenith tank versions [original Zenith that's a 4mL 24mm tank, the Zenith D22 that's a 3ml and 22mm dia., and the newer Zenith II that's a 5.5mL 26mm dia. tank for MTL and RDL vapers]. They've all been very popular, and for good reasons [ie. easy to use, their longevity is great, they're top-fill, coil replacment is a breeze, etc., etc.

The Innokin Zlide is also a very good MTL tank that shares some identical characteristics and features of the Zeniths. It's also a favorite of many on ECF. I just personally prefer the Zeniths. They're my all-time favorite MTL tanks.

The Innokin Z-coils are used in the Zeniths and Zlides, and are amazing. They come in a wide variety of ohms...with the 1.6ohm ones being the most popular. Replacing a Z-coil is super easy, since it's just a push-in place coil and you can do it easily, even with the tank full of eliquid. Many of us get an average of at least 11-15 days use from each coil. Some who vape flavorless eliquids get even far longer from each one. Beware when buying them though, as most vendors want ridiculously high prices for them. One US vendor though...has been consistently selling them for less than 1/2 of what some others sell them for. That vendor also sells only authentic coils.

I may try a different supplier also. I may have been sent some knock off tanks. Really have no desire to change, but will also look into the options you all have sent.

There is 1 US vendor who is pretty well-known for selling clone Nautilus tanks and coils. They state that they're clones now, but that info is buried in paragraphs of info. that most people don't read. So, you may have bought yours from them.

If you still want to use Nautilus tanks though...if you'll send me a private message [start a conversation with me] I'll tell you where/how you can still get authentic ones.

 

[gtrthang]

Thanks for the information. What US stores would you all recommend?

I'm very happy with the Nautilus 3-22 (there's also a 25mm version that's also quite good), and the Nautilus GT Mini. Both use the original Nauti coils, or the newer mesh versions.

I don't know if that's of any value, but they work great for me.

I can't speak highly enough about this Canadian company. I live in the US and their shipping is fast, efficient, and not terribly expensive.

Where do you get authentic atomizers for nautilus?

 

[DPLongo22]

ProVape has them. I'm sure there are others too.

Has anyone tried the 0.7 non mesh? I'm curious how well they last, compared to the 1.6 and 1.8's.

I bought some 0.7's, but have yet to try them.

Just got an email from Aspire that they are having a 10% off sale through them. code is "10offavc". I have the 3 22 and the 3s. Ive been happy with both. Just found the 1ohm coil that is my new favorite from them now.

The Zenith II tanks do seem to be a little pricey if bought separately, but; if you buy one of the sets with a mod they basically give you the tank for about $5.00 over the price of just the mod, which, given the current regulatory environment, and the need to have stuff on hand, is okay. The Zlides are pretty cheap, all in all.

For as long as I recall back, the Aspire OG Nautilus was my go-to. At the time they were easy...spite the leaking. I used them up until recently when they went NLA. I found and tried the clones, and bought a couple. They couldn't compare in quality.

Then I bought a N³ to try. The method in which they filled and how the coil changing went, sold me. So I ordered four more and stocked up on coils. Next thing to happen locally was banning and regulations were/are coming. Hearing of that, I stopped and regrouped. DIY was my new direction. Buying more Mods, making my own juices, coils, all of it, that's now my direction for my needs.

Meanwhile all my N³'s kinda got put on the back burner. They're pretty decent...although they notoriously leak as well.

Just gotta make sure it's closed up tightly. Pretty much the same as every top fill I've used so far. A bit o' air will do a lot o' damage.

Yes, I despise leaky tanks. Inevitably, if they are not in the upright position.....the Mod succumbs to fatality.

I lay my 3-22s down all the time. For the most part, they've been great about it.

I've had others though.... (not so much).

Haha.....maybe my senses are still linked to the old Nautilas tanks, and they keep me conscientious of the past ......
