So I've spent close to 10 hours with the BF .5 coil. I thought this was the coil I had tried when I got the original Cubis, but maybe not because I like it much better here. Or maybe it is but the better airflow of the Pro just changes the flavor. Flavor of the BF in this tank is very good and almost identical to the Notch coil. It has a lot over the Notch coil though. Though it does gurgle constantly, it's not extreme - less than in the original and much less than the Notch coil, and it's only spit on me once. Both these coils spit and gurgle less than both Lyche coils I tried. I gave up on the Lyche pretty quick, even quicker than I gave up on the original Cubis.
I'll compare the Notch and BF coils some more. Like I said, flavor is almost identical. Ramp up is near instantaneous on the BF where the ramp up of the Notch coil is slower. The Notch coil needs more power and even then the BF ramps up quicker. I was surprised by the airflow and clouds of the BF considering it looks more restrictive than the Notch coil and uses less power. Like flavor, the BF basically matches the Notch in those regards too.
I buy a lot of tanks to try and constantly go back to the Aspire Cleito, so the big question for me is considering the amazing taste, vapor and smooth lack-of-gurgle vape of the Cleito, is the loud flooding sound and once in a blue moon spitting of the BF .5 coil really worth it. It may seem like a no brainer to put the Cubis Pro away and keep using my Cleitos, but it's not. I need more time with this one.
Here are the things I like about this tank that make me want it to work out so bad. It looks great and is smaller than a Cleito yet has a larger capacity. The flavor is really good (though personally I would rate the Cleito better). The coils are cheap. I can run it 15 watts lower than a Cleito, give or take, making my battery last longer while still giving great taste and clouds.
Considering the huge size of the juice inlets on a Cleito, I just can't understand why these coils flood. The inlets on the Notch coil aren't that large, and the inlets on the BF coil are tiny. So what's the deal? Do they not put enough cotton in there? I'm already using 90VG but maybe I should give Max a shot in these. I'm also considering plugging up one of the holes on both the Notch and BF and seeing what happens.
Tomorrow I'll try the QCS coil, which is a Notch coil that allows you to "Quick Change" the cotton. If that gurgles and spits, I'm curious if I can fit more cotton in there than what it originally comes with.
Oh and because the Cubis Pro can get quite warm, I swapped the drip tip with the Lyche tip, which is the same height but slightly wider with with more insulation on the inside of the tip.
At this point I guess I should start a Pro thread.
