Aspire Nautilus bottom assembly: a look at real vs clone

[moecat]

For those of you who may use multiple Nautilus tanks, have you ever seen the following?

The gunky looking one (which actually had been rinsed multiple times) is the real version, and the cleaner one with the solid pin is the clone. Interestingly, the clone came packaged with the scratch-and-check serial number (which I didn't bother to verify) and works just as well as the real deal, but without the obvious residue build-up.

Another interesting case of a clone being better than the real thing!

Curious, did you know you were buying a clone? If so, was the price justified and that is the reason you went that way? Again , just curious. I bet if you do check the serial number it will show that that number was put in a few hundred times . Also, do you think the coils that came with it, are clones also? Your pics did not come up on my side, not sure if it an issue on my end

I bought the clone off of Ebay, but it was advertised as authentic. Don't remember the price exactly ... right around $20 for the package of tank and extra coil, I think. Coils, tube, bottom/top assemblies, drip tip all work fine.

Wow, that sucks. I sell on eBay also, but I only deal with authentic stuff. I am glad your happy with it, it's just sneaky to advertise real and sell fake. I think more than half the stuff on eBay is fake. I have a good relationship with Eigate, and they let me know when new stuff is coming out. I will buy a bunch of whatever it is, and normally by the time there sold, the clones are out. Then I am looking for something else. It is hard to compete with people selling clones. Right now, I have listed the bvc coils for the NON nautilus tanks, so like the viva nova ,etc. they should be here by the end of August . The bvc coils are amazing in the full size nautilus and the mini, it should also work great in their other tanks. Are you getting decent life out of the bdc's? I would go through them in two maybe three days. The bvc is going a little over a week.

I just bought some BVCs but haven't tried them yet. With lighter colored liquid, I get decent life out of the BDC, but the darker stuff definitely means the coil gets tossed sooner.

 

[brad527]

Oh man, pop one of those bvc's in dude. Let it soak for a couple , couple dry hits, and then let me know. Amazing! I am not saying that because I am selling them. These are game changers .

 

[brad527]

I hope you didn't get clones. Lol

 

[moecat]

Should be ok ... took advantage of the $12.99 www.101vape.com special!

Yep they really are great they are a mini Carto if you look inside the flavor is just as good as my Aerotank Mega with .8 ohm coils pretty nice I hate the price of the BVC's they will go down in time

 

[brad527]

yes, you should, just for kicks, run the serial number, clone sellers are a sneaky bunch of ...there were a lot of companies that got burned when the nautilus clone came out. please let me know.
thanks

 

[brad527]

I hear you on the price issue. But keep in mind that they do last twice as long as the bdc's. I used kanger products for years . Loved them, but the coils would never last or they would turn the liquid dark. How are the new updated coils? I am sure they are better.

 

[moecat]

yep, both boxes checked out

 

[brad527]

Cool, have you tried one yet. When I got my shipment in, I could not resist. Never going back. I have not touched any of my rda's or rba's since I got these

Love love the BVC! Totally worth it!
