Nautilus Mini Gurgle/Leak

Hi guys.

So I'm new to vaping and found out there was a vape store not too far away and decided to treat myself today to an istick and .comtilus mini. For the first few hours everything was great when suddenly it's gurgling and I'm getting a lot of juice dripping from the air holes.

I pulled it apart, gave it a clean in warm water and spent a while drying it out. Blew through every hole I could find to get any liquid out. Tried again, good for about 10 minutes. After repeating this process a few times I gave up and assumed I had a bad coil so I replaced it but the same thing is still happening.

I watched youtube Vids with various tips like closing the airholes before reassembly but still it's gurgling and leaking. Almost sounds like a mini bong when I vape and then I'm cleaning small drops of juice off the airholes.


Anyone got any advice as to what could be going wrong?

 

Ok so I think the BVC coils for these things may just be inconsistent in quality. I went through the 2 coils that came with the tank. First one lasted about 4 hours. Second one was flooded within about 10 puffs. Third one was flooded pretty much instantly. I'm onto my fourth coil and so far, it's vaping better than any of them. The vape is amazing off this thing. It's dissapointing that it's taken me trying out 4 coils to get one that's playing ball. With every coil I was being super careful to refill correctly, screw it back together tightly and make sure no liquid got into the chimney. Each time they would end up spitting juice into my mouth as well as making my istick wet. So far this 4th coil is doing none of this, so fingers crossed.

That said I've only been vaping on it for about 20 minutes so I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself here. I'll report back.


EDIT: Ok about 5 minutes after this post coil flooded, juice spitting in my mouth, tank sounds like im hitting a tiny bong and juice all over my istick.

EDIT 2: Onto my 5th coil. So far no leaks although it doesn't taste as good this time, seems to carry less flavour. I'm confused what's going on to be honest, I checked the scratch off numbers on the boxes to make sure my parts were genuine, so ye... at this stage I'm thinking this tank might just be a lost .comse and I should get something else. It's dissapointing be.comse the first few vapes were amazing... but this doesn't seem worth the hassle. My CE4 has had less issues so far, which is saying a lot.


EDIT 3: 5th coil flooded. I blew it out and it seemed ok but then had a burnt taste that I just couldn't seem to get rid of. Onto my 6th coil. Also refilled the tank since I'd managed to leak out 2/3 of it in this time. Just waiting for it to soak for a few minutes then I'll report back.


EDIT 4: 6th coil so far so good. Vaping like a king.... for now.

 

Ok 6th coil failed. Started leaking then the burnt taste came at the same time. Am I doing something wrong here or do I just have a .comlty unit?

 

Just sounds like a bad batch of coils. Get a new pack, or coil your own.

 

Yeh that sounds about right I think. I'll look into getting a new pack, I hope it's the coils and not a .comlt in the tank itself. When I first got it I was loving it. Seems rather unlucky that the pack of coils i got AND the coils included with the unit were all terrible. Oh well. I think I'm best off going back to the store and showing them first maybe they can check it out for me too.

 

Dont forget to prime the coils properly - really need to soak them
