Nautilus is a good choice with BVC's. You can always get a Kanger Subtank mini if you have a mod that can hit 25 watts and go to .5 Ohms.

The nautilus is a good tank. It really depends what you're using now, and what you're planning to run it on!

I've run my Nautilus on a 1600Mah Spinner when the battery in my Provari unexpectedly crapped out at work, heh - it worked well at 4.8V. Killed the Spinner in a few hours, but at least I was vaping...

What kind of mod are you using?

That could change our answers.

I have the Nautilus and the Nautilus Mini. In my opinion the Mini is better, haven't had any flooding issues and seems to vape better and who wants to fill a tank with 5ml anyway?

As Amanda said, it would help to know what you're currently using and what sort of mod/battery you're going to put it on.

The Aspire Nautilus (5ml size) with BVC's will work best between 8 watts and 18 watts (most seem to report 11 to 13 being their favorite from what I've read, but this is entirely personal preference and juice dependent). Any 10-15 watt device will run it quite well (So, VAMO, SVD, MVP) and any 20 watt or higher device will be able to realize the full potential although you may not need it. The bare minimum, in my opinion, would be a variable voltage spinner/twist style battery, at max setting - it works, but isn't the best.

Kanger Aerotanks / Genitanks work well too, and wouldn't be a bad choice in the same range of clearomizers as the Nautilus if you want something different.

No they work well. I slightly prefer the flavor in the minis to the flavor in the big one.

been told to not put drops in the coil to prime it,they said fill it up an leave it for 30mins,a will let you know how it goes ,in about an hour

You can do that. Or, if you're impatient like I am, cover the air intake hole and take a few face puckering draws (as no air is getting in anywhere) and you have an insta-prime.

got two with it but now I know I really like it I'm going back in town Friday and the bvc coils are first on the list.is there any new vapers who are interested in drippers? you should of seen this box a young lad had,he had 3 others for drippers an one with a rba but,what I thought was a wooden box t I put a couple of them in it. Nope,turned out to be the maddest mod iv ever see,he opened it to show me and it was two big massive battery's but the wires were in brass pipes,it looked so simple with no wires

Enjoy your MVP and Nautilus for a while first, and do lots of reading and watching tutorial vids on youtube. Drippers and the mechanical mod box you described above require quite a bit of safety and preparatory knowledge, not something you should jump into lightly. Do the research and get the learning done, and then consider dripping :)

You can drip with anything! So, yes, you can drip using the Istick 50. Be sure to read up about coil building, ohms law, and safety.

thanks Amanda,it seems to me that the sooner I get a dripper the the sooner I save more money,not liking the thought of having to buy coils for tanks all the time.i am quite ill so spend all day inside.definitely getting rba too inabit
