Anyone switch from drippers to tanks? Thoughts?

With your hand the way it is, I think you may very well enjoy the velocity deck on the Aromamizer. It's blind holes make coiling a walk in the park. Wish it was top filling, but it isn't.

It doesn't have the leaking issues the Bellus has, although if you bottom fill the Bellus rather than top filling it, the leaking issue is pretty much eliminated.

Fan out the wicks in the jeuce wells with either, and leaking during normal use is just about eliminated. Especially with the Aromamizer. fasttech has a fantastic sale on it right now, use code MAP. Drops it from the 44 dollar range to the 27 dollar range.

I have both of these rta's and for me the flavor is better than the Veritas or magma. Although I enjoy them both as well. They can't match the Bellus or Aromamizer for convenience or flavor. For me at least.

Knife

Thanks for the info brother. I tried to look up Aromamizer clone on fasttech but never found one.

May I ask you to post a link on Fasttech here?

The new OBS Crius uses a Velocity deck, easy to build, not fussy with wicking and top fill tank!:thumbs:

Top fill would be very nice. I even looked at the Kayfun V4 and Erlkoninig (SP).

I really don't mind filling the Kayfun, Orchid or Goblin Mini through the fill port in the. Bottom.

I am looking for something specific.

1. Awesome flavor.
2. Ability to tweak my build without dumping my juice.
3. No leaks
4. Relative light weight. No heavier than my Orchid. I already have the istick60tc mod hanging around my neck on a lanyard.
5 decent airflow
6. Post holes. No trapping leads under screw heads.
7. Either top or bottom fill is OK but top fill a plus

Two_Bears, going to jump in here and suggest the Crius. Flavor is exceptional, full deck access without dumping the tank, no leaks for me so far, and dead easy to wick. Weight isn't bad, airflow is definitely good, and full range. Post holes, and with the latest velocity deck very easy to build on. And on your last point, simply the best top fill I've used so far, no screwing or unscrewing anything, nothing to drop out, or get lost, can even fill with a glass dripper top.

Thank you very much.

I will check it out.

I was hoping the Billow V2 Nano would be my go to tank but not sorry to see it go.

Again I appreciate the input CC.

Thanks for the link, from the first posts I've read there it seems confirmed it's for dual builds only. Too bad..

So is the Orchid and so far I have been able to block off one side of the juice wells and it hasn't flooded yet. Maybe you could block off the Crius the same way.

Yeah I havent quite gotten into the regulated mods yet. To be quite honest I think they are all ugly. Also, I am pretty awful at building coils...maybe it is easier with the RTA? Not sure how many watts I would be pushing out. Just an 18650 battery. Supposedly its 40Amps but i dont believe thats possible in these batteries to be honest
Take a look at the xvostick. If you use tanks, can't be beat.

If native single coil, with decent Airflow (no AFC unfortunately) is your thing Give the SXK Wine a shot. Excellent fit/finish,decent airflow, bottom fill taifun style, STM like deck, even though it has no post holes it builds pretty easy, 26g is trapped just by sliding it in. Don't mind the lack of airflow adjustment, but if that were an issue a silicon band would do well.

As far as I know it is an SXK original, price is right, under $12.00 from Fasttech.

Thanks for the post. I have one of these on the way. Glad to hear it's as nice as it looks. How's the flavor on it?

just got my Bellus tonight. Was out of town and came home to it. So excited...actually used the coils they sent in the package. got it all set up and wicked, juiced up my wick before sending it in there. Probably wicked really poorly because when I filled it up it drained right out of the airflow holes. soooo disappointed. Any advice?
