Loose drip tip

Yep... I realise it's probably ridiculously simple but my drip tips are loose on my aspire nautilus and I can only use the one it came with. What do I do?

Also, if you've got links to shops with cool drip tips would really appreciate it.

thx :)

I have the same issue, and frankly have not been super impressed with the tank. I tend to like an airy draw, call me crazy, but I like the snap, crackle, pop you get sometimes, still searching for the perfect tank to give me that. With the nautilus, the smallest air hole it's too easy of a draw and with no air hole it's too tight of a draw. I bought an authentic one on ebY, and yes I checked the code lol, so I am glad I only 20 something for it. It has a crisp taste but just not the perfect hit!

i picked up a drip tip at my local b&m for like 6$. you could also go over to your local hardware store and see if you can find a little thicker of an oring.

ah, excellent. Dental floss - don't know if I ever would have thought of that.

Will give it a shot, thanks

I have been playing with the naultilus and the kanger aerotank mega the last couple weeks... The mega has many more rice crispies in it than the naultilus... slightly more airey ... Don't seem to get quite the life out of the coils though, and leaks a little... It did teach me to position the air hole on top of the mod when I am taking a toot though... that seems to help alot...

I use plumber's tape, it works nicely. Also helps to index those wonky genny tanks that won't index, like the Chobra.

A few wraps of dental floss under your o-ring will work like a charm and it's unnoticeable..

I have had no issues with the Kanger Megatank with .8ohm sum ohming 1.0 ohm coils or higher maybe you have a bad seal

you are overfilling the tank blow all of it out you need to up your voltage/wattage and or you have a bad coil replace it

I have had 2 kanger aero tank megas and they both leaked bad and would only work on select devises

Hiya!

Just a quick note specifically for the aspire nautilus:

I had the same problem with several other tips on this. But I realized if I added extra pressure after the tip is already on with my thumb, I hear like a light scratching/clicking sound, and suddenly the tip holds really well. Thing is when you just put it on lightly, it appears to be fully in, but apparently for some reason that doesn't send it all the way in, or something. I sound dumb. But hey it works!

Thanks for the dental floss suggestion. Can't believe I didn't think of that!

I was going to use some plumber's tape to fix my loose Nautilus tips, but dental floss sounds like it would be easier to mess with.
