Aspire Nautilus

Wow, great info for re-builders or would be re-builders of the Nautilus. Not my cup of tea, seems way too much trouble. Would it not be better to go for higher resistance (like around 1.5) if NR wire is not an option? Might also prevent the robber grommet from getting scorched?

Absolutely! In hindsight I should have gone with a higher resistance coil, but I was banking on the distance between the coil itself and the rubber grommet being enough (in region of over a cm) that the rubber would not get heated enough to get scorched.

There are two possible way around this, one being the wire zapper, or two, finding a silicone type material that will not scorch the same way the rubber does. This would require casting a mold of the rubber grommet and then making own silicone washers using the correct blend of silicone from the hardware store. That sort of mission makes the wire zapper seem quite tame in comparison.

But yes, next attempt at a coil will be much highest resistance. Probably in region of 1.5-1.8.

The other thing I can't quite work out is why the factory coils have insulation on them:



Only logical thing would be because it is a dual coil setup they do the insulation to ensure that there is no shorting of the NR wires from the two coils against each other

been dying to try rebuild one of these for ages. even have rip trippers nautilus rebuild video saved somewhere on my computer

I tried my hand at rebuilding the nautilus and failed horribly. it scared me and I got rid of it

Big up to you for trying and getting it to work - albeit burning the rubber
Respect!

That was an extremely detailed and informative post! The most detailed one I think I have ever seen. Well done! Mighty impressive.

Thank you @Silver that statement coming from the person who I feel has set the bar in terms of detailed, thought out and well written reviews of juice and equipment is a major compliment, and very much appreciated
