Kind of sad really. I got my last package today. Finally hit the end of my list of long term supplies, a box of loose Kanger head parts and insulators, Lemo gaskets, and a big reel of kanthal. I'll miss hitting refresh on the USPS tracking page and sitting by the kitchen window waiting for the mail truck.
Although, I could get some more nic just in case I live past 90. Maybe a mech mod or two. And batteries. An ohm tester. Some more bottles. Maybe a Nautilus, got to try one of them last week and it was the best vape I ever had. If I get the Nautilus I would need spare glass, and other parts, and a second Nautilus in case I lose the first one. Yeah, I'll be OK.
It's probably coming for all of us though, that last vape mail.
So, I've been waiting on some vape mail. It was sent USPS first class, which usually gets to me in three business days from anywhere in the states. I live in California, this was coming from Louisiana, a place I've ordered from many times in the past. After 5 days, it gets two towns away from me. No big deal. Another 5 days, and it arrives in Sacramento, one town away from me. Why did it take them so long to go one town over? Who knows. So, I'm waiting 4 more days, I check the tracking and where is it? Providence, Rhode Island! You were so close for so long! Now you're 3000 miles away! This is the worst routing error I've experienced with USPS as of yet.
Curious if any of you have gone to the Kanger Aerotank from the Nautilus Aspire tank? I have two Nautilus tanks and I have to say it is real hit and miss when I change the coils out. Sometimes I will have a clean hit and no burnt taste and other times it is burnt tasting for the life of the coil. A local vape shop told me to switch to the Kanger Aerotank. They did not have it in stock so I ordered it to try. Yes I am doing the whole prep scenario with the drops and hitting it 4 to 5 times before hitting the button. He told me it is common with the Nautilus, but not with the Kanger Aerotank. Any feedback?
I am tracking junkie when I see my vape mail is out for delivery. So I was excited when I seen my package was delivered early!
But after walking all the way to the mailbox there was nothing! I have heard that some mail carriers will scan their packages early so I am hoping that is what has happened. Just hoping somebody else didn't get my mail...but this has happened before when I received packages so Im pretty sure it just early scanning!
So with the latest news banning vapes from being mailed by USPS and Fed Ex on board in the spring , also I am sure it won’t be long for UPS to jump on board , I am just wondering what people think of the vaping world coming soon ? I for one rely on all my vape supplies thru online vendors it certainly feels like this is the end or will there be a way that vape goods will still be able to be purchased and mailed ? Just wondering what some of the folks here are thinking
Anyone ever experienced USPS losing your vape mail? How did you resolve it?
Hi guys
Another day another question...... What's the maximum wattage the Nautilus will vape safely at ? Last night i decided to purchase a ZNA 50 mod after reading a thread on these forums. I recently got a Alantis + Sub Ohm battery Valentines week, i'm definitely getting more into vaping with the Alantis a month in. More flavour more of a enjoyable experience all together.
I bought 0 mg Nicotine Apple juice for the Nautilus by mistake so re ordered etc the right strength. While i was waiting i just vaped on the Alantis, yesterday went back to the Nautilus and the experience wasn't really enticing.
I was thinking going with two Alantis tanks hence the reason why i decided last night to go ahead with the purchase of the ZNA 50. Now i'm wondering if the ZNA 50 will improve the Nautilus regarding flavour ?
I like my flavour being a menthol smoker, if not i should be able to use it with the Alantis and buy another tank and have two.
I use the Nautilus on a Vamo 5 that can only go up to 15 Watts. What's the maximum in wattage the Nautilus can do ?

Hey Guys,
I have been wanting to use a mech mod for quite some time now. But I didn’t want to rush into things, given that they can be dangerous if not used properly.
To prepare I have studied ohm’s law and have a pretty decent grasp on it. And have a calculator app on my phone.
I have checked out Mooch’s battery recommendations and have a good idea of what batteries to use and which to avoid.
I still do have a few questions I was hoping an experienced Mech user could help me answer:
- What would be the “sweet spot” as far as resistance and safety go for a dual coil set up? Obviously I want to go as low as possible and have a hard hitting vape. But I also want to be safe. I plan to use a dual 18650 Parallel mod (The Clutch X18). I would be most likely be using Sony Murata batteries as I cant find any Samsungs where i live. I’m thinking somewhere around 0.17-0.2? Or would it be safe to go lower than that? I will of course test my build on an ohm reader and regulated mod before throwing it on the mech to be safe.
- Are there any other general safety tips? Ive heard that you want to screw the Atty down all the way first, before inserting the batteries. And then insert the batteries. And when removing the batteries i heard you want to slightly unscrew the atty first, and then carefully remove the batteries? Can anyone please confirm if this is correct.
- Is its safe to chain vape on a dual 18650 parallel mod? When I say chain vape I mean like maybe taking 5-6 big hits back to back. Then waiting 3-5 minutes, dripping some juice and then doing another 5-6 hits.
- Is there anything I should be monitoring while I’m vaping? Like the heat of the batteries? From what I’ve read, the batteries drain quite fast on a mech. And after some experience you will just kind of know when they need charging because the vape experience changes. Is there anything I’m missing? Or something i should be looking out for?
- I can only vape in my kitchen. And sometimes there might be a little bit of water on the counter from someone’s drink sweating, or drops after someone washed their hands etc. Is this a risk? I will of course do my best to keep all surfaces dry. I’m not talking about large amounts of water or submerging or getting the mod really wet. But just what one might find on a kitchen counter.
- Any other tips you could throw my way would be great!
Thanks in advance!
Does anybody else on here feels once they start their new journeys with sub vaping they can't stop and find it hard jumping back to their old tanks set ups ? I'm just wondering what people views are on the subject.
I mean i have 2 set ups my Nautilus on my Vamo 5 which i been vaping with for 6 months now, it was good the Nautilus was my baby to the Alantis came a long. If i vape on the Nautilus these days it feels like i'm smoking a weak roll up ciggie.
The Alantis gives a great nice vape but the downside is you always filling the tank up, i mean i can get a night out the Alantis before having to refil. But the experience is far more advanced then anything the Nautilus set up can give me.
Today in the mail, the snail mail, i received a large envelope from VUSE with a two page add for a new product and it was addressed to my name.
Now i know i havent used their product and i havent signed up to receive any info from them (VUSE). I also bought all my gear online from various Vape vendors and none of it was VUSE or any type of chepo vape cigs. So one of the vendors went behind my back and sold VUSE my info. I dont know which vendor but one of them did, looks like ill be getting more junk in my mail box.
