Match For Aspire Nautilus Mini?

Currently have a variable-power EVOD. Have outgrown it already.

Was heading toward the higer-ish-end of things. First a Kanger Subox Mini, then, after reading of wide-spread problems with their tanks leaking, thought maybe a UWell Crown atop a Joyetech eVIC-VTC Mini. But now we're up to nearly $80 - and that's w/only a single atomizer.

So now I'm thinking "Maybe scale it back a bit?" More research. Looks like the Aspire Nautilus Mini would do. But what to pair it with? I've a pair of Samsung 18650 batteries, so something that uses one of those would be preferable. I don't need more than about 15-20W, as the Nautilus Mini's sweet spot is apparently somewhere around 12W.

"Hmmm... Joyetech eVic looks about right," I thought. Searched. "Hey, there's now an eVic Supreme!" Only, no, there's not. Discontinued :( (That "here one day, gone the next" thing, with mods, is becoming tiring. The SmokTech SID looked really good, too. Discontinued. The Sigelei Z-Max V2? Discontinued.)

So... anybody have any recommendations for something with which to drive an Aspire Nautilus Mini that isn't overkill in size, power and price? Would obviously like adjustable wattage with a decent display so I can tell what's going on.

Thanks,
Jim

The Nautilus doesn't need many watts to run, so you can use any 30 watt box mod. Cheapest is probably an Istick 30 watt (or 40 or 50)!

Just so you know there's an enormous difference in flavor between a Nautilus and a Crown. But coming from an Evod the Nautilus should be fine!

Since you have 18650's I'd recommend an IPV D2. They're about $40, pretty small, comes with a silicone sleeve, goes up to 75watts (unnecessary for now, but you won't need to upgrade if you end up getting an atomizer that needs more power), has temp control if you ever decide to try it and the reviews seem pretty good.

I have the nautilus mini, it's nice when I need a break from subohms. I think the coils max is 12 watts so you can use it with pretty much anything

IStick 30 would be an awesome set up with the Nauti Mini. Might check out the Innokin Coolfire 4 also. About $25.00 on efun.top.

2nd this recommendation. The D2 is a small and powerful mod should you want to go up in power when needed.
