- Hi Guys,
Im relatively new to vaping. I have most of the Kanger series tanks and recently purchased a nautilus mini.
I must say the mini I purchased suck big time in everyway and im not sure what else to do. I get burn throat hits after the first day of using the coil. I changed the coils twice and have not had much success.
I mainly use my kangertech mega and the air draw and vapour production is way more than the nautilus. Im sure the nautilus mini I purchased is original as I bought it from Vape king northcliff.
Any Ideas, I have run many types of E Juice all 12mg and 50/50 PG/VG.
The Kanger just beats it in every way, I'd really like to experience what everyone else does on these mini's.
Relatively new vaper

Hi @Rafique
its very strange what you are experiencing. Have you tried adding a 2 or 3 drops of juice into the new coil and also allow the newly filled tank to stand for a short while to allow the juice to seep into the coils?
this is about the only thing i can think of other than a dud set of coils.
Hi Marzuq
I have tried everything even dry burning just to see if it would help. The draw is much tighter even on the largest air whole compared to the Kanger mega.
What also tends to happen is that if I leave the tank to sit for about an hour after I vaped it earlier its very strong and really burns the throat through all Watts.
I use an Istick with the tank
thats very strange. Maybe take it back to the vapeking store and ask them to check it out and assist you in store. Those are very friendly guys and im sure they will be more than happy to help you come to the bootom of the burning taste.
As for the draw. that is a limitation of the tank itself, the only way to get and airier draw is to drill the holes bigger.

Could you tell me whats the difference, I thought those 2 were the same. Its like I get no flavour and it burns my throat. I dont taste the coil or anything its just very strong. with no flavour so im not sure what that is
Hi there,
Its very important to know and the person who sold you this should have explained unless you bought it online.
When you use new coils you must prime the coil with juice otherwise it will taste burnt the whole time.
There 2 ways you can do this:
1) Drip juice into the coil and blow through it
2) once you insert your juice leave it for 20+ min and wait before you take a few pulls on the smallest air whole.
Hope this helps as the mini is a very goood atty!

@paulph201, Thanks
I bought it from Vapeking and they said I could bring it for them to have a look later. i have primed it in the way mentioned. maybe im doing it wrong.
will go get new coils later and try, does the priming have to take place after every new coil or after every refill

Hi Rafique
I have a similar setup... I have 2 Nautilus Minis, as well as the Kangertech Mega, and various Kangertech minis for flavour tasters.
To be honest I get a metallic taste to my mega, and the flavours are more subtle, and the vapour is "ok". I did swop my coil to 1.6 which did the trick, and then later to 0.8 which for some reason burns many of my liquids, regardless of wattage.
Now my 2 Nautilus Minis... The one gurgled and splattered the whole time, though this seems to have sorted itself out after a while. The other one I got from another supplier, months later. Perfect. Since then I have swapped coils, the 1.8 works best for me. I have noticed that these VV sticks are not too crazy with these Nautilus Minis... I find that the sticks just cannot power these devices. You have to push the voltage up too far to get to the proper temperature in the 10 seconds it allows you, but it exceeds this temperature so much so quickly there after that you either get some vape, or you give your lungs 3rd degree burns.
I very quickly upped to an iStick, amazing difference for only R600, and then a Hana 30w. Dreams....
Almost everyone has a Nautilus Mini, try theirs on your setup? And then also try yours in their setup.
There has been various reports that say some of the Minis are botched, or faulty coils and so, but try another setup first, assuming of course you have an authentic Aspire?

To be honest my first coil was a dud. VapeMob assembled the whole thing for me as I was a complete n00b when I walked in there first time, it gurled out of the box. The rest also did but not that much. I am a lung hitter so the 3 second drag will never work
Still trying the mouth hits but just cannot do it. Seems I sucked the life out of Stuyvesant to long...But swapping to a proper mod sorted out all my problems. Stable wattage, and it gets to the proper temperature perfectly.
There is a recent post on this site around the gurling problems on a Nautilius. Here it is, good read: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/erm-aspire-nautilus-not-all-its-cracked-up-to-be.4427/

Update, Just switched in a new coil from Vapking.

Thanks everyone

Try this.
Fill the tank with the ejuice desired.
Then put your finger on the air hole, take a few draws till you feel a slight gurgle without pressing the fire button.
Then let it stand for about 1-3 mins to settle.
Then put it on the smallest airhole and take a few puffs.
I thought the same thing when i purchased my nautilus, but then i googled why it was like that... giving me a burnt taste.
But then i watched a YouTube vid and showed me this technique.
After that i have never ever had an issue with the nautilus.
P.S make sure the juices you have are not too high in VG as the nautilus coils weren't designed for high VG juices, also try lowering the nicotine content as this will give your lungs a burning sensation.
Hope this helps and you come right, as the Nauti mini is a great tank!

If I may ask what mod are you using?
For what its worth, a mate of mine from work also has a nautilus and it leaks and gurgles constantly. He still uses it as his primary though, I cant imagine why. My protank 2 is prone to leaking and gurgling and it annoys me to such an extent that I stopped using it entirely. Glad yours is working nicely now @Rafique
Sorry for the derail, just curious to know from the guys using the istick & NAMini, do you pull straight into the throat or into the mouth? Reason being when I pull straight into the throat, I get a burnt metal taste.
Well everyone is raving on about how tasty the Mini is... So much concentrated flavour. Well if you think about it... Gurling, splattering - that means tiny droplets of vape directly on your tongue. And of course the increase of flavour.
I pull straight into the lungs with all my tanks, on the iStick and Hana. I only really get a weird aluminium taste on my KT Aero. And lately the burn with the .8ohm coils inside. The Nautilus Mini only burns me if I give it too much wattage.
