Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Our Nautilus AIO is like a small ABS paver with rounded corners and edges. Light and compact, this new Set-up fits perfectly in the madness "POD Mod" which agitates the middle of the Vape at the moment.


In the center of its facade, there is the Switch which takes the form of a trapezoidal shaped button, dressed with a transparent imprint (on / off) which suggests that it will come to light when it starts.

A golden border running around the body of the "Box", it highlights the junction between the POD, the Switch and the battery.

On the edges, there are two black rectangles circled with an anthracite edge. Pressing it releases the POD. We notice that they are both pierced in their center. These two small holes are there to supply the resistance with air.


Always on one of the slices, we will find the Micro-USB port that will recharge the battery.
The POD is capped with a black smoked cap that protects the "mouthpiece" of the POD that serves as a mouthpiece.
When removing the POD, we discover the removable base carrying the resistance Nautilus. It is equipped with an airflow ring. Note also a small orange silicone plug that closes the filling hole of the 4.5ml tank.

Aspire offers us a simple and attractive product that perfectly matches the tariff position. Let's look at the technical aspects

Reviewer's comments on functional features

THEAspire Nautilus AIO is a technically very simple product since it is primarily intended for beginners.
We therefore have a 1000mAh battery that delivers a constant current. The product is equipped with short-circuit and built-in battery discharge protections and a ten-second Cut Off.
Our POD system has, as I mentioned above, a switch with a light part that will be used, among other things, to indicate the battery charge level by means of a color code.
The Mod POD is accompanied by two resistors to 1.8Ω. One for conventional E-liquids and another optimized for nicotine salt juices.


Last equipment, the airflow ring that allows to vary your air intake with a fairly good accuracy.
We are of course a basic set-up simple but well equipped.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The Pack and very nicely presented. A “hardboard” box marked with the brand's golden logo surrounded by a black cardboard sleeve which presents on the top, a photo of the product, on the bottom, the complete description of the pack and on the small side, the scratch code , the batch number ...

Inside are, the Nautilus AIO, two resistors, a USB / Micro-USB cable, a small silicone replacement plug, seals and a manual that is unfortunately not translated into French.

An almost perfect presentation (except for the record) in view of the price.

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 5/5 5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

This little set-up Aspire is therefore primarily for Primo-Vapoteurs, so it must be very simple and practical.

So in terms of ergonomics no problem, the system is lightweight, it is well in hand and can be transported easily, even if it is not the most compact kit on the side of this new family is the "POD Mod ".

At the operating level, no surprise, the Nautilus Aio done in the basic, 5 clicks to turn on or off and once running on Shoote and point bar.

We have an idea of ​​the level of charge thanks to the lighting of the fire button whose color will vary according to the percentage of battery remaining, it is not super precise but it troubleshoots well.

If the installation or extraction of the POD is very simple (just press the two side buttons), the filling is a little more delicate. Indeed, once the small silicone cap removed, the hole is not very big and not very accessible. So it's still workable but it takes a little time to adapt.


The change of resistance is done without any particular difficulty, it unscrews the base on which is screwed said resistance. There are two types, a traditional BVC 1.8Ω and a second 1.80Ω also optimized for nicotine salt liquids.

As long as we are on this basis, we also find the airflow adjustment. To vary the latter, simply rotate the knurled ring to change the size of the air inlet. It's quite precise and we can go from very tight to semi-aerial.

As for the feelings of Vape, I would say we are on a Nautilus, so it is rather very correct both in terms of the volume of steam that the definition of flavors.
The biggest strength comes from its autonomy. With these 1000mAh battery and its 4.5ml tank, we are well enough armed to hold a small day.

In the end, a set-up really not bad to start well in the vape.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Aspire offers us an updated version of its flagship product, the Nautilus.
Lightweight, easy to use, efficient, this new kid suffers from few faults.

There is the filling which takes a little practice and very occasional light gurgling but overall it's hard to fault it for anything.

Especially sinceAspire offers us good performance in terms of autonomy, 1000mAh when we vape at 12 W, it's very correct and 4.5ml of liquid, which is comfortable given the very reasonable consumption of the coils.
It's a very good set-up to start with.

If you like it, for my part it's a bit where I'm more reserved, I have nothing specific to reproach with the look of this Kit but I am absolutely not a fan of this type of drawing round and smooth monoblock which lacks, by my criteria, character.

Despite everything, it is a Top Mod indisputable, even if it leaves a small impression of déjà vu, due to the use of the “old” coils of the series Nautilus.

Good Vape,

Vince.
