Popped a twisted 28g 2.5mm 7 wrap kanthal build dual coil in it last night and my flavor has gotten a bit better but still isn't competing with my Zephyrus, I am although going through less juice in it and the flavor is still quite good...... So I'll take it. More annoying tinkering and I'll eventually find its sweet spot

Dont think Ill use this tank much due to leaks when re-filling. I have tried everything I know including single/dual coil, coil up high/down low, lots of cotton/little cotton,trimmed cotton,half way in juice channels/none in juice channels, closing airflow slowly fill starting top cap and turning upside down, airflow open slowly fill slowly screw down top cap. I even tried to bottom fill it. No matter what Ive tried its managed to leak and quite a bit each time. Ive watched as many videos as possible and that hasnt worked either,sigh.

As soon as the chamber is clear it vapes great and doesnt leak until its empty and I try to re-fill. At this point its jus not a tank I can trust to get me through a 10 hour shift at work so for now Ill stick to my Goblin mini which has been virtually leak free.

Here's another fan of the Goblin Mini and doesn't like the Bellus. The flavor of the GMini is so much better than the Bellus.

I'm sharing my wicking because I haven't had any leaking on initial fills or refills. I'm cutting an angle off the tails and taking them near the bottoms of the channels. I'm not sure what the pg/vg content is of the juices I've used, but probably inhe 50/50 range. I used 3 tanks of NT Banana Pudding to finish it up before it went bad, and just now switched to NT Band Camp.

New, dry wicks:

    No you can't
    Placed Order very late Sunday night for 2nd Bellus and evic mini from efun state side. Two different orders both were shipped already and schedule for delivery this Friday. Surprised on the evic mini since they said shipping would be on Oct 31 or later. Three orders from efun and I'm very pleased with the service and prices.

    Edit

    Got both early today (Thursday) using them now.

    I like the Evic mini in whit bigger screen and flavor seems crisp and cleaner. Nice device has all the features I wanted.

    Found out also that it´s only press fitted in place.
    I took positive post off and pressed it so the hole got tighter and out of it round shape a bit.
    After that I pushed it in place using vise. Lets see how it holds up.
    I said I wasn't going to order another one but I did. Even with the jumping resistances NO DRY HITS and it still better then my foggers. When it gets here I'll try your fix because mine didn't hold up.

    Is your fix still working?

    I've had my two Bellus tanks tanks for about two weeks now and have vaped around 10 tank-fulls through each of them.

    Original builds that I threw in the day I got them: twisted SS430 28g dual coil 6 wraps each coil at about 2.8mm ID.

    Absolutely no leaking and no dry hits. As long as there's juice in the tank, it's been performing flawlessly from vape 1 to vape 100.
    I feel like I'm gushing, but these tanks have retired everything else I own - even my drippers.
    As soon as my vape budget allows I'm getting a couple more.

    Yes, still in place.
    Got my second one from China(efun). Positive seems to be attached better in this.

    Thank you so much Miss Roxy! Oddly enough, the wick you picture that is working for you, is my typical wick on other addy's, and is what I first used on the Bellus. With total failure. Seems everyone is getting different results.

    R. Tripper just put up a vid on Y-Tube, in which he put the wick just flat on the deck, and used the excess semi wrapped around the deck surface. Sorta looks like nesting. Tried it, and low and behold, I filled while AC ring was off, dabbed the small amount of seep out of the air channels, and not a drop leaked since.

    Used all day yesterday, while at HP, and about town. Both upright, and with addy on side. Performed flawlessly. Woo-Hoo!!!

    Flavor is outstanding. No post looseness Here!

    First build and wicking went well, have done several refills now and no leaks or dry hits, I have the cotton loosely filling the channels but trimmed in line with the little ledges. Flavour is good if I turn the airflow down to 4 holes on each side, I'd say I like it better than the aromamizer. Billow v2 still reigns supreme for flavour and overall vape quality IMO but I do like that the bellus is a bit easier to wick and a lot easier to fill. Have high hopes for the Crius though which I'll have in a few days.
