If I'm not mistaken Comp, RipTrippers shows a rebuild on the nautilus coil.

Thank for the info Rob I'll look into this

I just saw the shot outs for me on Page 2 LOL sorry guys next time throw a PM my way I've been really busy and a PM will grab my attention. I quite often leave VT open in the back ground so it may seem as if I'm online but may be away from the computer.

Thanks for the extras Troy they will come in handy. I will be sending you some of the rebuilds for testing.

They can be rebuilt. Fairly easy from what I see. Most videos I've seen use a single coil around 1.5 to 1.8 ohm. They use cotton for wicking material. Unlike in a rda they make the cotton very tight in the coil.

I tried to do it once. Got everything set up and I just didn't like the taste of it with cotton. I've just bought replacement coils. You are right very expensive. Over 3$ per

6 wraps of 32g around a 5/64th bit should yield around a 2.4ohm coil

If you did that twice and wanted to run dual coil setup, you'd still yield a nice 1.2 ohm setup. You can still run that on many regulated mods

Carto tanks just plain suck. Good flavor but no life to a carto. Not worth the cost when you can get rdas wick and wire for pennies to the dollar.

Lightningvape or lightningvaper or whatever the site you can get 25ft of wire and 5ft of wick shipped for $7.09 with tax. 3 Days for delivery. Can't beat that

If I look close it looks like one more coil on top than bottom also. Don't rush. Build your coils the same.

I need more drip tips but my wife is gonna kill me if I dont slow down on buying stuff

But before you buy anything, the first thing you should order is an ohm meter. Always go with safety first in building coils.

Youtube Riptrippers or Grimmgreen for coil building tutorials

With the picture alone that you provided we won't know if you are doing the right thing or not let alone provide advise. Things that might help us out are:

1. what set up are you using
2. what is the ohms for the build
3. what kind of batteries are you using
4. what voltage or wattage are you vaping at
5. how long have you been vaping / experience

Tell us as much as you can and surely someone will be able to help out a bit more. From the picture we can see that you are running a dual coil with cotton as your wicking material. I could be wrong but it does appear from the amount of wraps per each coil that your build might be sub ohm. Building coils can be very fun, but it can be very dangerous not only to yourself but others around you. You need to know what you are doing and your statement makes you look as if you have no idea what you are doing. Please be careful.

Also what gage wire looks like a 5/4 wrap if its 28 gage it should be about .6 ohms with that setup but need more info

I'd like to add one more question:

6. Are you using an ohm meter to test your coils first?

Get one and then save and get the other always nice to have choices on what to use for the day

In theory a higher res coil should have more turns and thus more surface area to heat up producing more vapor but on these standard coils the advantage is very small and of course takes more energy to light 'em up

Uhh, No...there is a max fill line at 3ml, 3/4 up from the bottom. If you fill past that line, you'll be gurgling flooded..

Paid $35 for my nautilus from a local BnM and loooooove it. Best tank I've ever vaped. That says a lot since it's the only tank I use anymore. Besides my gold davide mini.

Nautilus is well worth the money. I'm actually lucky and have many local shops near me. My favorite has the Nautilus for 32.99. I know the price is steep but I would pay 40 without blinking an eye.

Lmao!

LMAO

My mind did NOT go into the gutter.

Okay, so maybe just a little, tiny bit. Lol.

You also might need to raise the center post of your battery. Sometimes some tanks will push it too far down for other tanks to make contact.

Me, too! Well, in Alton....but if you are in the St. Louis area, you know where Alton is, thereabouts.

It's time for electronics 101, and how it applies to PVs.

Current flow (measured in amps) is the movement of electrons through a conductor. These electrons are sent out by the power source (volts) to act as the workers, and resistance (measured in ohms) is in the path of current flow and will slow the electrons (workers) down. Power (measured in watts) is the measurement of work being performed in the circuit, and will always manifest itself in the form of heat (doesn't that sound like heating up an atomizer to you?). Of course too much heat (power/watts) will pop the atty.

Now for the math, and I promise it's not that complicated:

A physicist by the name of George Simon Ohm discovered that there is a tight relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. This relationship can be described and predicted by mathematics, which has become known as "Ohm's Law". The basic statement of this relationship is that voltage and current are directly proportional (when we increase voltage, current will increase as well), and that current and resistance are inversely proportional (when we increase resistance, current will decrease).
Voltage = current multiplied by resistance
Current = voltage divided by resistance
Resistance = voltage divided by current
Power = voltage multiplied by current

Now let's apply Ohm's Law to a PV:

A 3.7v device with a standard atty;
Voltage 3.7v divided by an atty that is 3ohms = 1.23amps
The heat produced by this is determined by the power in watts which is 3.7v multiplied by 1.23amps = 4.563watts
We know this works, and we can use these numbers to compare the performance of the other combinations.

A 3.7v device with a LR atty;
3.7v / 1.5ohms = 2.46amps
3.7v * 2.46amps = 9.126watts (remember, this is the heat)

A 5v device with a standard atty;
5v / 3ohms = 1.66amps
5v * 1.66amps = 8.33watts (remember, this is the heat)

A 5v device with a LR atty;
5v / 1.5ohms = 3.33amps
5v * 3.33amps = 16.66watts (remember, this is the heat.....POP)

A 6v device with a standard atty;
6v / 3ohms = 2amps
6v * 2amps = 12watts (remember, this is the heat...on the bourder of POP)

A 6v device with a HV atty;
6v / 4.3ohms = 1.395amps
6v * 1.395amps = 8.372watts (remember, this is the heat....is this really any better than a standard atty at 5v?)

My ohm values for the attys are approximate, but you get the picture. This really answers all the questions "will this work with this?", "will that work with that?". I also think that anyone dabbling in making their own mods should understand these basics when choosing components that will work well together, and avoid injury.
