So right now I am using a Nautilus aspire mini for me eleaf istick. I like it a lot but am new to vaping and have some questions.
How do I clean the tank?
How often do I need to change the coils?
Are there other tanks that are better or of the same comparison that I should keep on hand for backups?
Anything else I need to know?

You simply unscrew the bottom and top of the tank, careful of the glass, and rinse it in hot water. Take the coil out of the base and rise it. The coils last 2-3 weeks. When the vape quality drops off, or it tastes funny, replace the coil. You can boil the used head in water for a few minutes and then let it dry upside down on a paper towel, that usually prolongs the life by a week or so. After a while the media that soaks up the juice will get gunked up and not useable, that's when you toss it and use a new one.

Here's the manual in PDF: http://www.aspirecig.com/uploads/manual/mini-en.pdf

I use a Joyetech Delta 16 on my iStick at 13 watts. It provides a thick vapor and doesn't look too big for the iStick.

The Kanger Aero Mini looks good on it and used the Kanger dual coil heads.

i use mostly aspire mini vivi novas with the bvc coils. they are very inexpensive compared to nautiluses. of course, i am cheap. but i think they work very well for the price. ymmv.

No, the Delta will fit without the need for any adaptors.Here's a pic of my Delta 19 on my black Istick.

I guess the 19 is the way to go the others too big but im using the nautilus now (original one) was considering a mini.
On my MVP I have protank 3 on it and not bad but not thrilled w them

Congratulation on getting the i Stick, it's an excellent mod that should serve you well. I strongly recommend the i Stick for new vapors, so you made a very wise decision in your entry into the electronic cigarette world. I say this because you are now on a new journey in your life, one that will bring you much prosperity, good health, better future and bring you pleasure beyond anything you may have thought you could get with smoking cigarettes. Our industry is very strong and it will continue to grow at an alarming rate because it has proven to demonstrate excellent results. Cleaning tanks is very easy, you simply run them under warm water when you change juices. Afterwards, just wipe everything dry or let them air dry for 30 minutes. I would suggest you keep your threads and end points clean ( where you screw the tank onto the battery) you can use water or rubbing alcohol, I prefer rubbing alcohol for best results. Simply buy a box of q tips and clean your battery and tank connections. Changing coils will vary based on too many factors to list but on average a good coil should last you at least a week and sometimes longer. Depends on your personal gear and set up prices for atomizer heads will vary as well as whether you choose to use dual or single coils. In general, $10-12 will get you pack of coils and should last a month if not longer. I would be happy to give you some suggestions for tanks but would need to know if you prefer small capacity or larger tanks? For the i Stick I would suggest Aspire Vivi Nova-S or Et-s tanks, both hold a good amount of liquid and vape very well. Both are priced under $10 which i think is good. Also, Eleaf has excellent tanks to suit the i Stick and they're cheap as well. You can check hear for good prices on tanks, coils, juice etc., www.evape.us their service is top notch, so I can confidently recommend them. I think they may be out of the Eleaf since this is a popular tank but I'm sure it will be restocked soon. Since your a newbie, I would suggest you try out new products and take it slowly, eventually you'll find what works best for you and will continue with that. Best wishes on your newfound journey and welcome to the Revolution. Happy Holidays!

Another great tank for the i Stick is the i Clear 30s. It's the only Innokin tank I use and has performed flawlessly. The coils last on average 2 weeks, good flavor and smooth draw. The Aspire Vivi Nova-s, Et-s and Eleaf all will work great with your mod.:)

May I ask is the delta 16 okay? It's half the price of the 19?
Or for the price since I have the nautilus big one should I just grab the mini but I really really want to try a delta!
I have a kayfun mini lol anyone have an aerotank mega or a delta 19 to trade... Maybe there's a trading post?
Anyway I'm deciding today the 16 or 19 I have my coils in shopping cart for my regular nautilus Which is my most used tank right now and protank 3 (few of them) to try other juices.
Thanks a bunch!

Given the two options I would go with the Delta far better vape that the Nautilus in my opinion but the coils are pricey, so you'll have to consider that investment before purchase. It doesn't come with the AFC (the 16) version but I still got a good draw. It's a stylish tank for sure, lot of eye candy and looks good on smaller devices. 16.5 mm base should fit the i Stick and Twists without a problem. You also get a little over 3ml of juice storage which for me is more than enough, but you have to decide if that will work for you. For $20 it's a decent tank but I think you can get more value for your buck when factoring in atomizer replacement expenses. If you decide to go with the 16 you'll save considerably compared to the other versions which don't offer much more and will likely not look good on smaller devices. Coils will run you around $18 (genuine) for a pack of 5 and you never really know when they will be discontinued. I think there are better options out there but between the Delta and Nautilus my preference would lean more towards the Delta. I got a nice warm vape at around 11- 13 watts with it going over muted the flavor/burnt juice, began to taste awful.

Have you checked out the Viva Nova-S tanks or the Davide? Both are super on the i Stick if that's what you're using it on. Aspire K1 could also be an option if you don't mind small liquid capacity, it's cheap, nice draw not too airy and looks nice. Best of luck with whatever you decide, hope this helps with your decision. Happy Holidays:)

I was gonna post my suggestions but everyone else beat me to it. All good options, but personal preference is really all that matters, & cost is a huge factor, to me it is anyway.

If you want a more powerful vape, then you might need to upgrade from that one. Isn't that a 10watt mod? I mean, it's possible to get more vapor just from raising the ratio of VG in your eliquid, but even a new tanks with lower resistance might not fire of that device. Most mods these days will fire a tank with 0.5 resistance, many even lower than that. I believe the minimum resistance for that device is 1 ohm. It might be time for an upgrade.

^^^^^This^^^^^

The eleaf mini is 10 watts, if you want more vapor you will need a mod that produces more power and possibly a different tank. Which Tank do you have?
