Yesterday was 75 and gorgeous. Today, so far we've had rain, sleet, a few flakes and lots of wind with a high of 55 or so. Tomorrow, it's supposed to get to mid to high 60s with lots of sunshine. Spring time in the Rockies.

Sorry, no siblings, but I do have quite a few female friends who share my mindset. Having grown up around sailors, there's precious little that offends me. The exception to the rule would be the misuse/abuse of the English language. My female friends also share this pet peeve.

Nautilus minis come with a 1.6 ohm and 1.8 ohm coil, if I remember correctly. 4.0 volts might be a tad too high for this resistance, which could be why the coil burnt out so fast. Another thing to keep in mind is that dark and/or sweet juices tend to gunk up coils faster, as do higher VG juices. If I were you, I'd clean out your tank and start with a fresh coil. Set your battery at its lowest power setting. Vape. If it doesn't do it for you, turn it up just a bit. Vape. Continue doing this until you get a slight burnt taste, then back it down a tad. That should be the sweet spot for your juice. Each flavor will have its own preferences of how much heat it likes. Fruits, generally, tend to prefer lower volts/watts, while bakery flavors usually need a little more heat.

I'm feeling mellow today... unless he continues to poke the mama bear that is.

Hey! It's not nice to talk 'age' to a lady.

That's why it's good that we have forums just for vaping. Here at Vapor Talk, we have a lot of knowledgeable, friendly members who stress safety, especially concerning batteries. Many of us also try to steer noobies to trusted vendors who only sell genuine product with no knock offs unless it's plainly marked as such so we can make an informed decision to buy or not.

See, Tug? Shen here is a good example of simply "nice" with a healthy dose of common sense. Just kidding.

California's got a little bit of everything. You want mountains? Go north. You want ocean? Go west. You want some excitement? Go south and teach your teenaged daughter to drive at night by going around the same border area over and over and wait for five border patrol SUVs to surround you holding guns and a helicopter with a spotlight above.

Congrats on your first year, may you have many, many more!

You never mentioned what kind of battery you're using the Nautilus mini on. If you have something that's variable voltage/variable wattage, and it's set too high, that could also burn up your coils faster.

Me too. There's nothing that compares with the feeling of peace I get when I'm near the ocean.

Whatever it takes to keep you off analogs, it's all good.

See all the fun you've been missing, Nate? We can spend your money very well.

Smart man.

You're here in spirit.

I prefer the longer drip tips just because I don't like juice spitting and popping up into my mouth.

Right? I couldn't tell which one though.

Tell me what you wanted the title to be and I'll edit it for you.

The lowest price I've found so far is around $49 but those are all out of stock with no date for restock. I bought mine for $55 at Avid Vaper. I do a lot of business with them.

Yes, you do.

Got my "red" Eleaf iStick 50W in the mail today. The picture of it online looked like a washed out metallic pink, which I liked. What I got was the same bright magenta/hot pink like the iStick 20W. No problem there. I'm off to go find a suitable wrap.

Fourth piece of advice: have back ups of your back ups.

In nearly three years of vaping this is the first time I've heard of anything like what you're describing. I agree with Bebop, you should go see your doctor (dentist).

There was an old guitar store by the river in Nashville that nearly made me cry it was so amazing and full of every make and model of guitar (or so it seemed). I heard that Eric Clapton got some guitars there. It's a very good thing I don't live anywhere near Nashville and that store. There would never be any money left in my bank account.

Hi Nate. Long time no see. I'd go along with Tugboat's recommendation for an Eleaf iStick 50W. It comes with its own micro USB charger cord and is ready to go out of the box. Since mine got here it's been in constant use (and another one is in the mail to me now I liked it so much). Mech mods, while good, are a one trick pony. At this point in time I'd recommend something that's more versatile and that would be the iStick 50W. Haven't tried any of the sub-tanks that just came out but there's been a lot of good things being said about them. As with all sub-ohm coils, they give off great vapor and flavor, or so everyone tells me. I hope you find something that keeps you off the analogs, Nate. We're here if you need some support.
