If you've got a genuine Evod atty they should fit.... Without teaching you to suck eggs, firstly are you sure it's an Evod you've got, and secondly are you sure you've got a genuine article?

My advice would simply be buy a mini Protank 3 (£7) from Epack, and get the matching coils (~£1.30ea) and you'll be away. I've have no issues at all with that set up. I'm a heavy vaper and I change my coil once a week every Sunday evening.

It's a mini Evod apparently. This is so bloody confusing.

Hmmm, I may be wrong, and often am, but I don't think there is an Evod mini. I'd wager you've got a mini Protank of some sort.

I know it's a pain in the harris, but if you post a pic of your atty we may be able to shed some light on your problems.

I'll have a go

Atomiser and ruler for scale.

The larger coil is the new one that doesn't fit, the smaller one the original. I've bought some other replace to that fit, but have a smaller metal protrusion and they're st and last about 3 drags.

Also not happy with this ohms stuff, I've got a vision spinner that is 3.3 to 4.8v

Ok, that's looks like a standard Evod. The lower coil is a new upgraded dual coil which won't fit.
Your atty is designed for single wick coils.

If they're only lasting 3 drags, it could be a number of things.
You could be using it too quick before the coil is soaked with juice so burning the coil dry. Best to change the coil and leave it 10 mins or so to absorb some juice.
You could be flooding the coil if you cover any of the air holes for a tighter draw?

Or an outside chance your battery is knackered and cooking your coils.

I'm not the man to ask about ohms and volts though....

The batteries are fine. I've got quite a few of them and they are OK with the brand new Evod coils.

The replacements get soaked and wait to use them, they're just st.

In which case I'm stumped. If the coils are genuine, they should be as good as the originals. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along shortly.

That's the point the coils aren't original, or at least I don't think they are. All I want is a pointer to somewhere genuine to buy the genuine ones from.

Choose the 1.8 Ohm ones.

I found this picture quite alluring.

So... got my Aspire Nautilus Mini in the post today. For something that includes the word 'mini' in its name it is HUGE. I'm coming from the mini Pro-tank 3 which sits on my ego-type batteries nicely. The Nautilus uses a cone to sit on the battery. I'm not a fan of the fatter equipment so it was already on the back foot.

I'm using VG-only fluids so I generally struggle a little getting enough air through my kit, but I ended up reducing the airflow on the nautilus as it was too airy! Time will tell if it gets clogged up with the VG. My current vape (ripe banana) doesn't have quite the same taste as when using the pro-tank, but will test drive it for the rest of today and see how I find it.

Looks like a decent bit of kit, but too big for my liking (yeah probably should have researched more).

Get a fatter battery smile

These 1300mah eGo batteries are shorter and fatter than normal eGos:

There's nothing more disappointing than the arrival of a new flavour of juice, only to find you don't really like it.

I'm a dedicated menthol vaper and have been using Dekang Triple Menthol for months. I thought I'd treat myself to some Chrystal Menthol from their premium range. It's pants. Less throat hit, less vape, peppery aftertaste, and a wishy washy flavour.

Variety is indeed the spice of life, but sometimes you should stick to what you know.

Been there frown Just given a load away to a friend, reviews were good but I didn't like them.

Try some vendors who sell sample packs, some sell 5ml bottles so it's not too expensive, and SmokeRainbow sells 1ml samples to try from different vendors.

I only bought 20ml so it's not the end of the world. It's more the disappointment of another thing that doesn't hit the spot.
The whole thread is vapers looking for that perfect mod, with a good tank, and the right coil, to vape the right juice that has a great flavour with enough throat hit....

It seems to be an endless task, almost like a rubics (sp?) cube, to find the right combination to hit the sweet spot of the vape that finally works for you.

I'm almost there, but will keep trying smile

I've sort of found mine but the juice is a bit expensive and they won't ship it from the states to UK so have to get it from a vendor in France!

Taifun GT clone @1.2ohms
Vanilla or Da Iron copper mods
Gremlin Juice Vanilla Custard

I ran out last week and all my other juices taste poor in comparison frown Even Grants & Digbys VC taste a bit meh now frown
