Aspire Nautilus 3 Tank

Early thoughts - happy with this tank (26 August 2023)

As a user of the Nautilis mini, as my main tank for several years, I thought it was time to look for a modern upgrade.

I love the look and design - the top fill is super easy compared to the ordeal of taking apart the nautilus mini (where I need to keep pliers close by). The 7 different single airflow holes give a range of options to suit taste and preference. When you find the right balance of wattage, coil and airflow, you can achieve a very nice MTL hit.

Only drawback for me is a very tiny bit of leak through the airholes occassionaly and I wasn't a big fan of the drip tips provided. A stainless steel MTL drip tip, like the one provided with the Nautilus mini, would have been nice (and evidently, I've stuck one on).

Overall I'm happy with this tank and have used it as a secondary option everyday since buying.

Great tank & excellent customer service (22 November 2022)

Great tank, easy to fill and change coils. This tank was sent out as a replacement for a tank that I had bought as part of a kit which had developed a fault. Big thanks to Alex for sorting out the replacement which I recieved next day. Outstanding customer service from vape club!

Aspire Nautilus 3 Tank / Coils (09 August 2022)

I came to Vape club once again since I've became a member and bought all my Vape things from them.
I was looking for a recommendation for MTL tank and guys at Vapeclub recommended to go with this one.
Sadly, it didn't meet my expectations at all.
The maintenance of the tank to clean in properly it's quite hard.
Parts getting stuck and it's quite hard to take it apart.

I've used NicSalts e-liquids with these coils and they are doesn't last at all.
Flavour becomes very poor very fast and needs to be changed quite often.

I'm using the recommended wattage for these coils and I'm sure i'm not burning them.

Overall, maybe it's me but can't say anything good about this tank.

Pros: easy refill

Cons:
Tank - hard to clean, take it apart.
Coils - doesnt last as they are stating (every 2 weeks (500 puffs a day)).

Regards,

E

Nautilus 3 Tank (22 July 2022)

All round good tank, easy to fill and change coils without much fiddling and complicated mechanisms. Only drawback that if on the go it needs to either be empty or kept upright or it will leak into the air intakes, otherwise a decent tank.

Good tank but mind your coils on mods. (28 June 2022)

I recently added the Geekvape Legend 2 mod to my collection and needed a tank, having already experienced it with the zelos 3 (part of the kit) I bought this tank without hesitation.
The good bits remain good, easy filling thanks to the slide top, the coils are easily exchanged thanks to the valve shut off in the tank. And on the zelos the 1 ohm mesh coils are excellent and give good flavour. However. Pairing the same combination with the legend didn't yield great results, the coils burnt out very quickly. I tried the 0.7 coil that came with the tank, and bingo problem solved.
I don't think the tank or coils are at fault, I still run the combo in the zelos, but for whatever reason the legend 2 combo didnt like it, 0.7 is the winnint combo for the Legend. Maybe something worth bearing in mind.
My other minor gripe was the top had been screwed on very tightly on the stand-alone and ended up needing grips to loosen off, wasn't an issue in the zelos kit, but annoying on the black stand-alone as it's now marked. Minus one star for that aspire.

Otherwise a very good tank for all levels and is recommended.

I have three for a reason (27 June 2022)

I have three of these amongst my regular rotation, one for 1.0, one for 0.7 (mesh), one for 0.4. Hands down, my favourite MTL tank. Only having a single hole open for airflow (with bigger holes for more airflow) doesn't sound like it could make a difference but it does.
I've swapped out the drip tips on all three so I can simply slide the tank cap for a refill, but I don't need to remove the tip to be able to fit the bottle nozzle into the port like I do for some.
One of the 3 has a dodgy o-ring around the base of the tank, which works itself loose occasionally after swapping out coils. It's obvious it's happened when the juice just runs out through the airflow again. Taking apart the tank (great excuse for a clean) and putting it back together again sorts the o-ring out, and it's user error on my part because I keep knocking the mod over and the tank with it. The other 2 don't have the same problem.
Flavour is good (40/60 juice on 1.0, 50/50 for 0.7, 0.4).

Great Tank (06 April 2022)

I love this tank, it was part of the Aspire kit. For me personally its the best nautilus created. Easy fill, easy clean and creates great clouds with a clean strong flavour. I have had no leaks at all since I purchased it last year which is the first tank I can ever say that about. I see some reviews saying its not got flavour, I dont agree personally, maybe some bad coil experience. I normally vape with the .4 BVC run at 28 watts and gives me the perfect combination of a DTL and MTL which packs a punch while not turning a room into a fog pit on one pull, but still producing thick clouds with loads of flavour. Id highly recommend this, along with the lower ohm coils, to the vapers who want the experience and flavour of the heavier tanks, while showing restraint and not taking it to the extreme.

Great Tank but flawed (30 December 2021)

Replacing the coil and filling the tank couldn't be easier. The slide filling at the top is perfect, no fiddling. Anyone complaining of burnt coils are not using those coils correctly. The Aspire BVC coils for these Nautilus tanks have been around for years and that's because they work well, how about the user? The tank will "leak" but only if you overfill the tank. It's coming out of your airflow, if you don't notice at the air hole on the ring then you will when you remove the tank from the box, don't over fill your tank and you won't have this issue. So what's the flaw? Well the flaw is that you have to be very careful when using this tank as the glass is prone to cracking, especially when dropped, even if it just landed on carpeted floor. I'd still recommend this tank so long as you don't mind keeping a few spare glass rings around. While the top filling method on the Nautilus GT is fine, i'd prefer the slide top fill design on this, put on the GT.

No flavour at all (27 October 2021)

My partner got recommended this tank and to be honest its a waste of money, it has absolutely no flavour at all from any of the coils that fit. The coils seem to burn out and only last a couple of days at most, even when using 50/50 liquid. Its very difficult to fill and there always seems to be an air bubble forming on the top to make life harder. It doesn't leak when filled to which is a bonus. Just seems a bit dated compared to what else is on the market.

Definitely one of the best tanks I've ever used. Definitely recommend

Aspire Upgrade A Great Tank (25 July 2021)

I decided to upgrade to this tank from the Nautilus 2s and am happy to have done so. The form is pretty standard but I don't mind that, I did prefer the look of the 2s with the glass somewhat protected.

Changing the coil is really straight forward which for me is an improvement on the fiddley 2s so a plus there however, the slide fill isn't the as good. It's great to fill but it's just a slide across as oppose to the 2s which was screwed down as well as slide across. I've had a couple of occasions where the lid has been ajar so just keep an eye on it. The lid itself is quite resistive to slide across so it doesn't happen often but worth keeping in mind. I've not had it leak but it does affect the air flow when you draw so you'll notice it quite quickly!

Overall, another great tank for the Nautilus range with bags of air flow adjustments and the usual bang on coils. My advise would be to upgrade the glass to 4.5ml though but then I vape like a chimney!

Definitely a tank I'd recommend!
