Final decision for MTL: Topbox Nano vs Istick 40 + Triton Mini

[Fernando Mercerat]

Decided to go with the GS tank, because the Triton Mini is in pre-order status in FT, and don't like the look of the Nauti, that made the decision easy
I guess the Triton Mini will be the next in case I need another tank.

My guy recommended the Nautilus since it is my first MOD and tank. What was it you did not like about the "look"? Is the knurled finish on the top by the mouthpiece? Is comes with a smooth polished piece which I wish I had installed before i filled it.

Looks kinda vintage for my liking, and gives me the impression of being a medical device, don't know why
Anyway it would be my choice if couldn't get the GS.
Sorry about my english, I know it's not very good.

One of the things that stopped me from buying a MOD sooner was I did not want it to look like a Nebulizer. What I like about the iStick is it has a small form factor and look modern. I also like the adjustable air flow on the Nautilus Mini experimenting with that right now.

No sorry I was mistaken the threaded cone is not for the tank is is for an EGO Battery.

I like both the Nautilus mini and the GS Tank.

There are pros and cons to both.

The flavor and vapor on both is very good.

The main stickler for me is the price of the Nautilus. It's almost twice the price of the GS Tank.

I wish they would sell the kanthal coils with the GS instead of the nickel ones. I don't own any TC mods.

What I like and the reason for the Vape Shop guy recommending it was easy of use and maintenance. I could build tanks and coils or your car engine but I am more into screwing in a new atomizer and I am back up and vaping.

Keep the Triton Mini on your future list, I love mine and use regular 1.6 and 1.8 ohm nautilus coils in them. My four GS Airs of various styles including the GS Tank and my three nautilus mini's now sit on the shelf though all are good tanks I love the top fill and Nauty coils in the Triton Mini. Another great tank is the kabuki or kabuki clone.

The mini Nautilus looks old and fussy next to the GS Tank.
Also, on most mods, the width is perfect.

I wish they would sell the kanthal coils with the GS instead of the nickel ones. I don't own any TC mods.

I just bought it anyway and put the Ni coil in my spares. Then some packs of Kanthal 1.5ohm.

What you might think is "vintage look", is probably not about looks but about fingerhold.
Rough surface gives you way to unscrew the parts.
One big prblem with many tanks is when they are smooth everywhere, its a pain to dissassemble them.
