Nautilus X Intro
Nautilus X Specs and Features
Notable Remarks
Observations
Aspire is using a new technology with these coils called U-tech. Essentially the air flows down one side of the coil until it passes though the other side in a U-formation before it reaches the mouthpiece. Each coil head comes out to approximately 1.5 ohms and performs up to 22W.
From the outside, they look very much like the original Nautilus coils except you screw them to the top, instead of the base. One of my favorite things about this tank is that filling it is stupid easy. It is like filling a cup, very much like the Cubis. Since the airflow is coming from two small holes on top, leakage is virtually impossible as long as you don’t ever overfill it.
The airflow controller can be a little bit tricky to find. You have to turn the top part of the tank until you start to see tiny holes open up on the mouthpiece. Seeing these holes in low lighting is extremely difficult. I am using it wide open right now and still getting a mouth-to-lung hit that I am happy to say has a little bit more airflow than the Nautilus Mini. I just think after being spoiled with all these subtanks and rda’s, airflow becomes an addiction. Much props to Aspire for achieving the perfect amount of restrictiveness for a mouth-to-lung tank! One thing I do miss from the old Nautilus was how the airflow locked in place, that was great for us OCD vapers!
Performance
The flavor has been great so far. I think the low-profile design paired with new U-tech coils really lends itself to some bold, intense flavor. The clouds have been good for this type of tank also. Unlike the original Nautilus, this thing is completely cleanable so you don’t have to ever taste your last liquid. I have not had any issues changing flavors so far, so that is a big win!
I think the tank just looks awesome. They took a lot of design cues from the Cleito, and a few from the Cubis. I think at this point Aspire knows how to pump out high-quality gear. The Nautilus X is lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap.
Last but not least, I tried this tank out with a bunch of 70-80% VG blends and not one dry hit as long as I am at 22W and below. The big wicking holes on the coil heads are probably one of the main reasons behind this.

I started my vaping journey over ten years ago, quitting smoking while developing a strong interest in the technology that made it possible. I proudly became one of Vaping360's earliest contributors in 2015. Since then, I have authored hundreds of articles and reviews on topics ranging from e-cigs to cannabis vaporizers. After a brief hiatus, I have returned to Vaping360 as a freelance writer to continue sharing my knowledge and expertise about vaping with the world. When not writing content, I enjoy riding my bicycle and working on music at my home studio.
