Very easy just start slow then speed the bit up and just use very little pressure (I mean very very very little) Only takes a few seconds even with very little pressure. I would step it out starting with just a little increase in hole size till you find your sweet spot. 2.1 were I ended up is wide open.

I got my lite today and am really liking it! I had reservations with it not having adjustable airflow but for me it's pretty close to perfect, Comparing it to my Emow Mega that has the V3 aircontol,I'd say the draw is similar to having 4 out of the 5 holes open. The capacity is perfect too. A great tank that gets overshadowed by it's big brother. I'll be getting more for sure :)

Got mine yesterday and so far, I love it! I'm super happy with this tank/coil combo... Thanks to the OP and everyone else for the input on this thread. I hope others find this info, I will definetly recommend it.

I used it on my mvp yesterday. I have both nautilus tanks. I agree with cirrusx1, the draw seems to match closest the 2nd to biggest opening in comparison to the nautilus tanks. For me, it is darn near perfect... so far the non nautilus bvc coil is strong and able to handle higher wattage settings. I think the coils have a break in period and I keep them around 8.5 watts at first. This morning I went all the way up to 11 and haven't had any issues at all... not tasting burnt or dry... This regular bvc coil is wicking perfectly... The juice capacity of the tank is perfect for me... Flavor is outstanding as well... I am glad I went ahead and got 2 of the lites... Now I've got it on my istick and they make a great pair!

If someone comes across a place that sells these tanks with cheaper shipping I hope they share the info here :)

I have had one of these for a good time now so here is my current view.

I drilled out my air holes to 2.1mm and the airflow is great now. I love everything about this tank. Looks good on a iStick but still has a large capacity (3.5ml) The aspire bvc coils are amazing flavor wise. The flavor is very close to my Kayfun. If you decide to get one just make sure you get some bvc heads for it as it comes with bdc heads.

I ordered two Silo tanks from Beyonvape yesterday taking advantage of the Black Friday discount. Will be interesting to compare this to the Nautilus & see if there is any difference in performance.

I can't compare it to the Nautilus, but I like the way it vapes and the tank size is plenty big. The Aspire BVC coils screw in easily and I have not had one drop of liquid on my 510 connector.

I have had my lite since November 10th and I use it ~5 hours a day. I am still on the first bvc head and it is still working well. I have changed flavor but did not change or clean the head so it is the only one I have used and I have not cleaned it at all. Im pretty impressed with the heads (which I know are aspire bvc heads)

I've been vaping the same two coil/tank set ups for a week now. (Aspire bvc coils) Topping them off daily. Today I am noticing a difference. First, I can no longer vape at 10-11 watts without a burnt taste and They are gurgling :( it is an easy fix. I either shake out the excess juice or swab it out with a q-tip (remove drip tip and soak up the juice/condensation) I tried increasing the wattage but it is not solving the issue. Anyone else encountering this problem?

It came with two BDC heads (I chunked em) and bought Aspire BVC 2.1 ohm heads. I vape at 12.1w on the iStick. The ohms reading is up to 2.4 now but I am still vaping great. I am putting a few picks on here to show the Silo lite on an iStick.

I bought 2 Silo Lites from Beyond Vape (really only to get the most of the shipping because I didn't need 2). I also have the Nautilus Mini. I like the Silo for the price (1/2 of a mini's price). I like an airy draw but I prefer the tighter draw tip which really isn't tight at all in my opinion. The other tip seems a bit much to me. Flavor has been good, although I find it's better in the mini. I am using the Aspire BVC 1.8 coils; the coil that came with it sucked and I couldn't get much vape or flavor from it so I chucked it. The biggest issue I have with the Lite is leaking. It apparently is sensitive to fill level. If I don't fill it all the way, I don't have any problems but if I fill it anywhere near the top of the atomizer then it leaks like a faucet. I had the same issue out of both of the ones I received. Easy fix, just don't overfill I guess. I just hate I have to be that careful. All in all I like the tank, especially for the price. Will it replace the mini? No but it is a nice 2nd tank. FYI I am using it and the mini on an iStick.

I picked up a Silo Lite last night and am really enjoying it so far. This morning I awoke though to a lot of juice pooling around the tank on the base of my device. Any one else found this? I cant even tell where it leaked from as all the air holes and the threads of the bottom cap seem dry.

I have not had any leaks with mine at all. I fill it to the max. Are you using the heads that came with it or are you using bvc heads?
