Manufacturer: Aspire
Related Tank: Nautilus 2S
Coil: 0.7ohm Mesh (new), 20-25w
I probably fall into an unusual category in that I prefer an ‘airy’ and warm MTL vape. I really enjoyed the original 0.7ohm coil with the Nautilus 2, but found the 0.4 lacked flavour in comparison when used in MTL mode. It’s worth noting that I used a sweet caramel tobacco liquid 60VG.
The mesh coils have a comparatively wide bore and are the ‘net’ style of mesh rather than the dense porous style of mesh. However, this is to be expected for a hybrid/MTL tank. For the purposes of this review my primary comparison will be against the original wire-based 0.7 coil and a Vapefly Galaxies RDTA with a 0.6 VV superfine Clapton (6 wraps spaced).
So first and foremost, the new mesh coil produces excellent depth of flavour, something the original .7 did not emphasise. The lower deeper notes were at the forefront of the vape, whereas the original .7 would exaggerate the higher, sweeter notes from the liquid. Notably, the coil provided a similar flavour to the Vapefly mentioned above, though the vapour production is notably less. In fact, the amount of vaper produced by the new coil seemed less than either of these benchmarks.
Wicking is quick, as to be expected and life-span is yet to be determined. Though the richness of the flavour is certainly present and strongly presented, it is with a degree of disappointment that I would share that this is in-place of the sweeter notes rather than alongside. I had perhaps naively hoped that both the sweet and rich notes would be presented in equal balance but higher intensity, though in my experience the coil certainly seems to have a preference to the lower notes on the scale.
Given the convenience of stock coil tanks, it is admirable that it is providing a similar experience to high-flavour rebuildable, though I cannot help but be disappointed that some of the best qualities of the original 0.7 seem to have not transitioned through.
So, in summary:
Pros:
I still need to test life span and wicking of high-VG liquids. As a result I will update this review when this has been complete.
P.s. this is my first ever review, so feedback welcome.

So, in summary:
Pros:
- Ultra quick ramp-up
- Quick wicking
- Strong, rich and deep flavour (RDA level)
- Quick break-in
- Lacking sweetness in comparison to wire-based nautilus stock coils
- Very ‘airy’, not for everyone
- Vapour production is satisfactory
