Upgrade from nautilus.. To what?

[dirtybug]

currently have nautilus mini on a I stick 30, use 50/50mix, largest port 5-8watts. I chain vape puff after puff most days and use 3-6ml. Lately the coils have been letting me down and not keeping up especially the 1.6 which seem more common/available than the 1.8 which worked better. I have to let it sit for 5 minutes or more then only get 2-3 pulls before I start tasting the coil. So I'm looking to upgrade but don't know where to go from here. I know I don't want a dripper and not sure I want to build coils.
what I do want is something that won't leak since it lives in my pocket, keeps up with heavy vaping, lil looser draw, better and or cheaper coils, good flavor, holds 3+ml
Any thoughts? I keep coming across the triton and sub tank mini but reviews are so mixed.

Try the OBS T-VCT tank if you think you'd like to go the sub-ohm route. It's top fill, holds 6 ml, and never leaks. You have the choice of a .5 kanthal , or .3 Ni200 coil if you get a TC capable mod. This tank has great flavor and way better vapor production than what you're using now. Coils are around $20 for a 5 pack.

I don't think I need sub ohm as it'll use more juice, just a better wicking system. Maybe I do have to get into building coils?

Are you a mouth to lung hitter? In that case, the Kanger Subtank Mini, utilizing the 1.2 Ohm replacement coil heads might be something for you. It does come with a 1.2 Ohm, and a 0.5 Ohm replacement coil head, and a RBA included. However, the juice holes on both heads are larger than the Nautilus' heads. Therefore, you shouldn't get any dry hits. In addition, should you decide to start building your own coils, you already have the RBA. IMO, you shouldn't see a major increase in juice consumption with the 1.2 Ohm coil heads.

I'd recommend the Kanger Subtank Mini. You can either buy the factory coils (in Kanthal or Nickel for temp control) or use the rba deck and make your own coils. I use the rba and you can have a fresh coil anytime you want cheap and it gives a great vape. Building coils is really easy, check you tube and watch someone do it.

If you're a mouth to lung (as I am) swap out the wide bore drip tip with a standard 510 one (more narrow) and choke down on the airflow a bit.

I seem to be transitioning from mouth to lung to direct lung but not fully there.
Seems the sub tank is one of the most recommended also the most flamed from what I can find. I have sneaky suspicion the triton would be good but may be too new to get fair reviews.
Fortunately I just heard from a failed vapor friend who's gonna give me his setup which includes another I stick 30 and a tank he thinks is a sub tank mini clone. I'll see if that's true before I go ordering anything.

I want mtl to get most flavor and not run through juice but my body wants to dl. My pulls seem to be some combination of the two. That said I feel I need one larger air setting than the nautilus has and I never used the lowest two.

The Kanger with 0.5 Ohm coil is ok for DL hitting. The Triton with the 0.4 Ohm replacement heads is way better for DL, and IMO, produces pretty good flavor. However, both will consume more juice than you're used to. The Crown is going to be worse in the juice consumption category. Flavor is good when you have the right juice, that can take some heat.
FYI, I have all three of those tanks.

Before you go to a new tank, try the coils for the
Aspire Triton Mini the clapton coils produce better flavor and vapor
compared to bvc coils.
You can easily run them up to 17-18 watts. They perform well for me
on a 20watt istick at 17watts. Edit: have seen where some run them
at 20-22 watts.
You could probably find the 5ml capacity nautilus from some who has
retired them. These coils works in both the Nautilus and aspire mini.
