Tbh, the only recent atty that a ton of people liked that I thought was mediocre at best, is the Engine Nano. Shelved it after 4 builds and a week and a half.
I have to agree 100% on the Engine Nano...I just cannot get any good flavor from mine. I am curious to the amount of 'love' people give that atty. I know it's easy fill etc, but only so-so on the flavor. "So-so" on flavor just doesn't cut it for me if an atty is to stay in my active lineup. Got to be very good to great flavor to make the cut. The E. Nano just didn't make it.
Thanks for a great upfront review on the Bellus v2. Those coils looked very well done! On my to buy list.
