Aspire Nautilus GT Vape Kit 

If you have been around vaping for any length of time, you already know the Nautilus name. Aspire built their reputation on it. The Nautilus GT takes that legacy and pairs it with the 75W Glint mod, and honestly, the result is one of the most well-rounded Refillable Kits Pirate Vapes has ever stocked. 

Aspire teamed up with Taifun on the tank design for this one, and you can tell. It feels premium without the premium price tag. You get proper variable wattage, a removable 18650 battery, five airflow settings, and coil options for both MTL and DTL vaping.

Pirate Vapes carries it in Gun Metal, Stainless Steel, and Rose Gold, and all three look genuinely sharp in person. 

Why vapers choose this:

• You get genuine control over your draw with five separate airflow clicks, not a loose spinning ring that lands wherever it feels like

• Two coils in the box means you can test MTL and DTL vaping on day one without spending extra

• That removable 18650 battery adds years of life to the kit, something built-in battery mods simply cannot offer

• The stainless steel cage around the glass tank adds a real layer of protection against everyday knocks and accidental bumps

• Type-C charging at 2A fills the battery fast when you do not have a spare cell handy

Aspire Nautilus GT Vape Kit Features

75W Glint Mod and ASP Chipset

The Glint is not trying to be flashy. Three buttons, an OLED screen, and wattage that goes from 1W right up to 75W. Aspire's ASP chipset handles the power delivery, and it is consistent. No ramp-up lag, no weird power drops at low battery. Short circuit, overheat, and low voltage protections are all baked in, so you are covered on the safety front too.

Taifun-Designed Nautilus GT Tank

This is what happens when Aspire lets Taifun have input on tank design. The build quality is a step above what you normally see at this price. Full 304 stainless steel, a reinforced outer cage protecting the glass, and a threaded top fill with twin ports big enough for any bottle nozzle. It holds 2ml under TPD rules, which is standard for UK kits.

Five-Click Airflow Ring

Not a slider. Not a continuously adjustable ring. Five distinct positions that click into place and stay put. The smallest setting at 1mm gives you a proper tight cigarette-style pull. Crank it open to 2.5mm and you get a looser restricted lung hit. Most people end up somewhere in the middle, around the 1.5mm mark, but having those extremes available is genuinely useful.

Full Nautilus BVC Coil Compatibility

The two coils in the box are just the start. The Nautilus GT accepts every coil in the Nautilus BVC lineup. The 1.6ohm BVC is the classic MTL option that Aspire fans have used for years. The 0.7ohm mesh coil runs warmer and produces noticeably more vapour. Both thread into the base of the tank, no press-fit guessing games.

Removable 18650 Battery and Type-C Port

You buy your own 18650 cell separately, which some people see as a hassle. But it is actually the smarter long-term choice. Batteries degrade. With a removable cell, you swap it out for a few quid instead of binning the whole mod. And when you do charge in-device, the Type-C port pulls 2A. That is roughly twice as fast as older micro-USB kits.

How to Set Up the Aspire Nautilus GT Vape Kit

Step 1: Flip the Glint mod over and press the battery door at the bottom. Slide it sideways to swing it open. Drop in a charged 18650 battery, matching the positive and negative ends to the polarity markings printed inside the compartment. Close the door until it clicks.

Step 2: Unscrew the tank base and thread in whichever coil you want to start with. The 1.6ohm is the safer bet for beginners. Screw the base back on snugly. Do not overtighten.

Step 3: Put 3 or 4 drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton on the coil. You will see the wicking holes on the sides. This priming step stops you getting a nasty burnt hit on your first puff.

Step 4: Twist off the top cap of the tank. Fill through one of the two ports, keeping the liquid away from the centre airway. Leave a tiny gap at the top and screw the cap back down.

Step 5: Thread the tank onto the Glint mod's 510 connection. Hand-tight is all you need.

Step 6: Walk away for about 10 minutes. Seriously. Let the cotton soak up the juice properly. Skipping this is the single most common mistake people make with new coils.

Step 7: Five quick clicks on the fire button to turn the mod on. The OLED screen will light up. Use the plus and minus buttons to set your wattage. Start at the low end of your coil's range and work up from there.

Step 8: Rotate the airflow ring at the base of the tank until it clicks into a position you like. Middle settings are a good starting point.

Step 9: Take a slow, steady draw. If the flavour is muted, bump the wattage up a notch. If it tastes hot or harsh, drop it down. A few puffs of adjusting and you will find your spot.

About Aspire

Aspire is one of those brands that has been around since the early days of vaping and never really put a foot wrong. The original Nautilus tank basically defined mouth-to-lung vaping for an entire generation of vapers, and the BVC coil design is still going strong today.

They are based out of Shenzhen but work with partners across Europe, including the Taifun collaboration that produced the Nautilus GT. What sets Aspire apart from a lot of competitors is consistency. 

Their hardware just works. No gimmicks, no reinventing the wheel every six months. They refine what already works, and the Nautilus GT is a perfect example of that approach. Check out the full Aspire Vapes collection to see what else they offer.

Ordering from Pirate Vapes means getting your kit shipped in secure, padded packaging that actually protects the contents during transit. We have heard enough stories from customers about smashed glass tanks arriving from other retailers, and that is not something we are willing to let happen.

Every product we stock is TPD compliant and MHRA registered, meeting all current UK regulations for vape hardware. Orders over £40 ship free with tracked next-day delivery, and we dispatch same-day on weekday orders placed before cutoff.

It saves on shipping, and you will not be caught short when your first coil needs changing a couple of weeks in.

Conclusion

The Aspire Nautilus GT Vape Kit ticks a lot of boxes that other kits at this price simply miss. The removable battery alone makes it a smarter long-term purchase than most built-in battery alternatives. Add in the Taifun tank design, full Nautilus coil compatibility, and five distinct airflow settings, and you have got a kit that genuinely adapts to how you want to vape. It is not trying to do everything.

It is trying to do MTL and restricted DTL really well, and it succeeds. If you are moving away from disposables, stepping up from a basic pod kit, or just want something reliable that you will not need to replace in six months, the Nautilus GT belongs on your shortlist.

 Grab yours from Pirate Vapes and pair it with something from the Aspire Vape Kits range to get set up properly.

FAQs

Can a complete beginner use the Aspire Nautilus GT?

Yes, but there is a small learning curve compared to a basic pod kit. You need to install a coil, prime it, fill the tank, and set your wattage. None of that is complicated though. The 1.6ohm coil at around 10W gives a draw very similar to a cigarette, and most beginners get comfortable with it within a day.

Why doesn't the kit include a battery?

Aspire sells the Nautilus GT without a battery so you can choose your own 18650 cell. This keeps the price lower and gives you the freedom to buy spares. A decent 18650 costs around £8 to £12 and lasts through hundreds of charge cycles.

What nicotine strength should I use?

That depends on your coil. For the 1.6ohm BVC at low wattage, nic salts at 10mg or 20mg work well for ex-smokers. If you are using the 0.7ohm mesh coil at higher power, drop to freebase nicotine at 3mg or 6mg. Higher strengths at higher wattage will be too harsh on the throat.

How often will I need to change the coil?

Roughly every one to two weeks with regular use. You will know it needs changing when the flavour starts tasting dull or slightly burnt. Sweet or dark-coloured e-liquids tend to wear coils out a bit faster than cleaner flavour profiles.

Does the Nautilus GT leak?

The Nautilus GT has a solid reputation for being leak-resistant. The threaded top fill seals well, and the airflow ring clicks firmly into position. If you do get a leak, it is almost always because the coil was not threaded in tightly enough or the tank sat unused with the airflow open. Close the airflow when you are not using it and you should be fine.

Can I use high VG e-liquid in this tank?

Up to 60% VG works fine with the 0.7ohm mesh coil. For the 1.6ohm BVC, stick with 50/50 or higher PG blends. Anything above 60% VG is too thick for the small wicking ports on Nautilus coils, and you will end up with dry hits.

What makes this different from the Aspire Nautilus 2?

The GT has a sturdier tank construction with the reinforced steel cage, the Glint mod is more powerful at 75W versus the older Zelos mods, and the Taifun design influence gives it a more premium look and feel. Coil compatibility is the same across both, so if you already use Nautilus coils, switching is painless.

Is this kit TPD compliant in the UK?

Yes. The UK edition ships with a 2ml tank and meets all TPD and TRPR requirements. It is registered with the MHRA, which is the standard for legally selling vape products in the UK.
