SOME SERIOUS SERIOUS SIDE BY SIDE VAPING – THE KANGER AEROTANK MEGA VS. THE ASPIRE NAUTILUS

Based on a BUNCH of comments and questions I received over the Kanger Aerotech Mega video I recently posted along with the declaration that it is my new recommendation for a large form factor clearomizer tank, I set off last night to confirm what I kinda already knew.

I decided to do some serious “side by side” vaping from the chair. I set up both tanks with new heads and the same liquid. A liquid I’m quite familiar with… Juice Vapor’s Tribute. The resistances were similar, 1.9 Ohms on the Nautilus and 2.0 on the Aero. I put each on similar 33.3 devices, the SID and the VAMO, and off I went to my chair to relax, have a vape, and compare the two.

Adjusting

Adjusting the Nautilus is easier to do due to the indents and knurled air control ring. However, you adjustments are limited to the hole sizes. The Aerotank is a little trickier to adjust and more likely to come off it’s setting, however, without any indents you do have unlimited adjustability.

Build Quality and Looks

I continue to prefer the looks of the Aero Mega over the Nautilus, but I’ll say it again, I liked it even better before they added the “(ProVari) bling” I also prefer the way the Aero Mega holds the glass tank in place and favor the design over the threaded glass of the Nautilus (which I’ve heard has broken on some users).

Liquid Capacity

The Nautilus shines here with it’s 5ml e-liquid capacity over the 3.8ml of the Aero. A filling design improvement on the Aero Mega could get it closer to the 5ml of the Nautilus as when it’s flipped back over after filling you so see a fair amount of wasted space. Something else to keep in mind is that it’s more difficult to see when to fill the Mega as compared to the Nautilus. On the Mega, the liquid drops below the deck and it appears to be empty. Hold it upside down to see how much liquid you REALLY have left.

Civility

I thought the Nautilus a much more “civil” vape. Quieter and smoother. The Aero was crackling and breathy when compared. Several times it reminded me of my childhood watching the Sleestak on Land Of The Lost.

Vape Quality

If none of the above means anything to you, it really all comes down to this.

Consistency – similar

Vapor – similar

Throat hit – similar

Flavor – AHA!

I thought the flavor of the Aero Mega was better than that of the Nautilus. Much better? No. Noticeable? In my humble opinion… Yes. The Nautilus was slightly more muted than the Mega, however, both provide an outstanding vape. Allow me to say it again… we’ve come a long way baby!

So my recommendation for a clearomizer does change to the Aerotank Mega from Kanger. Due mostly to:

Looks

Lack of threaded glass

Better flavor

Now PLEASE Kanger… make the heads consistent!! 🙂
