My SIG 150 and Ipv3 Li will be here tomorrow. I ended up getting both and an IPV4s over black Friday because I couldn't decide. They will be for the vapocalypse.

GG gave this a positive review today. Though he did whine endlessly about the 'big lie' of the airflow, and used a bit of a suspect wicking technique.
Received the Bellus today. Had a little initial leaking upon filling, but it stopped right away. I am liking it. The direct to coil airflow rocks.
I wonder what coil size most of you folks are using? I built a 3.5mm coil set to enable some more wick volume, but ended up restricting air flow quite a bit.
there is ample room for some pretty big coils, as long as you mount them high and tight.
Learning on the Zephyrus make a for some skills packing coils in. 
I put 2.5mm coils in those, so 3.5mm in the Bellus doesn't seem like a stretch.
3mm?
Edit: to be clear, this is five spaced wraps of Titanium @ 0.13 Ohms total. It's a pretty small coil really.

Got this last Sunday. I gotta admit, I may retire my TFV4s (original and mini). I would love to get them black version, but its not yet available locally.

I went with 2mm because I used 26/32 claptons. If I could've kept them good and tight I probably could've managed 2.5mm though.
I put dual 2.5mm, 7 wrap, SSV 0.5 Ti coils net .11ohm in the black Bellus from Origin Vape and must say it's working really good. I hadn't tried a temp build in the Bellus before and was curios. Also using a max vg juice for the first time in the Bellus and she is wicking nice!!
Hey guys, what are the coils that come in the package wrapped at? I used them because I am awful at wrapping coils and have no 26g or 24g wire. Also had some serious leaking issues on first fill, rewicked to get the cotton down in the channels and bottom filled and that fixed the leaking issue. Screwed the top cap on really tight to help create a good vacuum and ended up getting it stuck. I really would love to get the top fill functionality working properly, anyone ever get their top cap stuck? Mine only comes off with the inner chimney attached. Cant unscrew the top cap from the inner chimney piece
me too, it was a great teacherLearning on the Zephyrus make a for some skills packing coils in.

As dual coils they come out to 0.5 ohms. The cotton should block the top of the juice channels but only go very slightly down into them. You don't need top screw the top super tight, thats why theres a seal of the inside. Top fill works just fine, but don't leave the cap off for too long or it will leak like hell.
cool, i used them as dual coil. I totally need to get better as a coil guy. I usually take them in to the B&M nearby to have them built lol. I know, im a cheater. I am using it on a stingray mech and it is really working great. Can you explain a bit more about what you mean in regards to not leaving the cap off for too long or it will leak? Every time I top filled it leaked like crazy. Now I cant even get the top cap off, bottom fill for me i guess. Flavor really is great out of this one.
So you used them on a mech without knowing what the resistance was? That's really not advisable, get yourself a resistance meter.
Coiling is not rocket science. I suggest you get a coil jig as it makes the process 20x easier. Use Steam Engine | free vaping calculators to plan your target resistance and therefore amp draw, and makes sure this does not exceed your battery's known continuous discharge rate. Then check it on a meter before firing it. Can ask what battery you are using currently?

In regards to the top filling:
Today I left the top open for several minutes and it leaked like hell. I can't tell you what the exact time threshold is. If I open the top, fill it, close it immediately, then I get no leaks.

I am currently using an AWT IMR 18650 3.7v 3000MAH Battery. I have been using mechs for a while now. Just looking at the coils I was able to see the inner diameter and the number of wraps wouldnt be much lower than .4 so I figured it would be pretty good.
