15W is too high for the Nautilus 1.8 ohm coils, aspire states 5V max and that's 13.9W, which imho is still too high for these coils. Try a new coil starting around 7W and work up to where you like, 8W was fine for me. Also are you trying a new juice in it you've never vaped before? Could be your juice too. Good luck!

Can you chain vape with sub ohm coils?

Also, sub-ohm coils do lend themselves more to chain vaping than the smaller, lower wattage tanks. I have no clue why, but that's what I've experienced. So, you may have to experiment more. If you're using the same flavorings/juices in each tank, I don't think it could be a flavoring issue, but to check, you can re-coil (I know, ouch) and try the flavoring/nic level that worked for you on the other tank, I'd think.
