nautilus mini gurgling

galsvapetoo · Jan 19, 2015

I have tried everything I can think of to get it to quit gurgling and spitting eliquid in my mouth. I've made sure the coil was tight. I've left it upside down. I've shaken it to get the liquid out. I've tried drying the coil up with a qtip to get the extra liquid out. I've tried vaping low watts high watts. Please help because I am about to throw this tank at the wall! I haven't had a single problem with it until about 2 days ago it started doing this.

What have I not thought to do to get this to quit?

Did you try changing the coil yet? They can get really caked up with some e-juices.

2 things I find when that happens is a low battery or a semi dead coil

Ya, swap the coil.. I find the BVC coils are more prone to this than the BDC ones..

Thank you yall I'm going to give this a try and get back with you

Every once in a while one will gurgle. Change the coil and takes care of the problem.

What mod are you using? And how much power is going to that coil? What ratio liquid are you using?

This is on my eleaf istick and I was trying anywhere from 6- 11 watts to see if any would help which it didn't and the coil is a 1.6 and I almost always vape on 70/30 ratio. That's like over 95% of my liquids. I haven't got to change my coil yet cause I'm at a doctor's appointment

70/30 May be too viscous for your tank.

70/30 Pg/Vg or Vg/Pg? ever since the whole "max VG craze" it's usually the one with the higher content listed so 50/50 is the only one anyone knows for sure anymore

I usually burn my coil heads out from going between vaping outside in the cold and then inside in the warm....but sometimes as the coil it will spit more especially with high PG liquids since the liquid is thin and wicks much quicker than VG heavy liquids....high or low watts regardless, if you're using the small airflow settings and taking really hard draws you could be also pulling more liquid into the coil oversaturating it and it's spitting at you because it's got juice in the middle and can't keep up...it's not common but it's kinda like the opposite of dry hits and it does happen...it happens to me with the temperature changes...I've had a cold tank that won't feed and almost burns the head so I take a bunch of unpowered hits to get the coil to wick and then the damn thing warms up and it feels like it's throwing juice at me cause it's flooded...hope the new coil fixes the problem

Sorry it's 70vg/30pg and it's what I've always vaped in my nautilus mini ever since I got it. And the air hole is always set on the two most open holes I don't even use the small ones and I thought I was going to be able to stop by the vape shop till my coils online I got really cheap come in but I couldn't today. So I will have to stop in tomorrow and get a new one

galsvapetoo · Jan 20, 2015

Okay so far so good with a new coil. I havent had any problems yet and it's been 3 hours or so

galsvapetoo · Jan 23, 2015

I'm really starting to think my 70/30 Mic is what's doing my coils in. Does anyone else have this problem?

Tim Vatic · Jan 23, 2015

I use 70% VG in my regular nautilus all the time.I also drilled out the air hole because I like a lung hit every now and then. The type of liquid is also a factor here. Not all 70/30 liquid is the same.... like if your using cyber or space jam, both of those are VERY sweet and contain a lot of flavoring and (EM ) sweeteners and that will gunk up your coils faster than usual.

The one I've noticed is my blue label that does my coils in

vaperature · Jan 23, 2015

I have the larger Nautilus and three times already it has flooded. I suspect it has to do with sudden changes in temperature. Not sure how the mini is built, but with the Nautilus you don't need to replace the coil, just take it out and use a q-tip to sop up the juice that has leaked into the well over the connector pin and to sop the juice out of the bottom of the coil and anywhere else you see that it flooded into, and then put the coil back in and it'll be fine. All this can be done without dumping out the tank.

MKPM · Jan 23, 2015

Let me confirm something first before i once again solve the world's problems. Is your Nautilus Mini, gurgling? Or is your Nautilus, mini gurgling?

galsvapetoo · Jan 24, 2015

It's gurgling again and this coil hasn't been in long but it's only happening when I use really viscous liquids

I tried that.. several times... Always end up changing the coil... Not the only Aspire product I have problems with the coils with either

sudden changes from really warm to freezing cold outside have a profound effect on how your nautilus wicks...I've been using my big Nautilus again with BVC coils and I notice at work (I work outside and in an not temperature regulated warehouse,) that the liquid thickens up and has a hard time wicking so I have to suck a bunch into it to keep it from burning and then as soon as I get in my car that within five minutes of the tank warming up all that liquid I sucked into the coil thins out and floods my coil and leaks out the airhole....if you q-tip out the top of the coil to suck up the liquid that made it past the SS mesh and blow out your base of the tank and use a q-tip to wipe it out and blow out the liquid in the center shaft it should help take care of the gurgle....you can "dry burn" the coil out of the tank as well to help dry it up but it's really something that shouldn't be done unless the coil is horribly flooded as it is easy to dry burn these coils than just dry them out...it's it's like a tiny carto. We all loved carto's but everyone doesn't like to mention how much we all hated how touchy they were
