I've been using my PT2 now for almost a week! Vaped lika biatch the first couple of days and then it started to make less and less vapor and started getting dry vapes with a full tank, changed the coil today and back the vapor was again for about a hour and then I started getting dry burnt tastes running at 3.8V, so I have to vape at like 3.3V - 3.6V, made a duel series coil yesterday coming in at 1.8Ohms and got dry vapes, took some wick out and got gurgles. took it out, stripped it bare and put the old coil back in, the coils that came with it is suppose to be 2.2Ohms

I pull hard! straight to lung vapes! Also take long inhales when doing straight to lung, have to let the button go and press it again so the 10 second limit dont kick in.
long or short stalk? normal Evod coils from Vape Africa.
using mostly Liqua juice and used some of my last Twisp Tobacco 1 juice in it.
(PS Twisp Tobacco 1 is the best tobacco flav I've had so far)
The pics posted by valley vapour are the long stalks and they give a bit more air and I find that I get more dry hits with those than the shorter stalks. They are press fitted so a little wiggle and pull and they come right off then I swap them out for a short stalk but pressing the short stalk into where the long stalk was.. with the short stalk I find I dont get any dry hits.
Have you tried doing a bit of dry pulls when you get a dry hit to try and prime the coil?
It could just be the wicking material that is not soaking up the juice properly.
I also find that the threading is not so smooth, so what i do is when I get to the point where the coil feels like it is tight I give 1 more harder turn and it turns further and then I have no issues.
where can I get the short stalks?
You going to have to look around. Kanger have standardized the long stems so no short stem coil heads are being produced to my knowledge.
I'm surprised to see disappointment in the PT2 Mini... It was by far the best flavour for me until I got the Nautilus... but it seems I may have to try the iClear 16 just to guide my new vapers who I have recently converted... The thought of yet another one to try and another set of spare coils to buy leaves me stone cold when all I plan to use is the Nautilus from now on.. but I may have to press the buy button tonight again!

Both the bottom coils(PT2/Mini PT) and the top coils(iClear 16) are good, it just depends on what you prefer.
I found the drag on the bottom coils easier, and the 16 a bit tight. but then the 16 gave me better flavour. On looks, when you have a colored juice in the 16, it kinda looks nasty...the PT just looks more sanatary..
On rebuilding, bottom coils can be rebuilt, so that is a money saver in the long run. I have not seen anybody being able to rebuild a iclear16 coil..not even youtube has someone..

Definitely try the 30b. It has been faultless in my experience to date.
Markus you will change your mind when you get your Nautilus! If by some strange phenomenon you don't like the Nautilus I'll swop you my 30B for it!
Lol Rob, your nautilus is making my virus worse
I can't believe you don't have one yet!
LOL, I wish I had more time to properly test all the gear. The problem then for me is that my virus gets worse because I know there are so many things I want to experience. I need like a full week off to just test out several things...
@Rex Smit @Silver1 I rebuilt an iClear16 with cotton. Maybe I should make a video
EDIT: Oh wait! Just remembered I didn't actually rebuild the coil, just re-wicked.
@Rob Fisher You really have been bitten hard by the vaping bug!

I'm not sure WHAT you guys are vaping but I don't know how anyone can even consider the iClear 16 as anything but a load of kak! Maybe the issue was I tried an new juice in it from eciggies (Almond Flavour and that is the worst juice ever... that was R65 down the drain!)... OK so let's empty that juice and fill it up with a menthol juice I do enjoy... first issue is it's a really hard suck to get the vapour going and the taste isn't even close to the PT2 Mini and about eight million miles away from the Nautilus.
Thank the Pope I only ordered one... this one is going into the bush now... I can only imagine I have a dud because this clearomiser is simply the worst I have tried.
I'm so glad I got a syringe with the blunt needle so I can suck the juice out before throwing it over the fence!
That was the bad news... the good news is my 2nd Nautilus arrived today and that will be filled with a sweet VM Juice shortly (Probably Pineapple) and go onto my MVP... and my 4th PT2 Mini also arrived which will probably be filled with VM Candyfloss on my new green eGo-C Twist...
