I have both the Lemo and the Billow and I like my Lemo better. Even though it is meant for single coils you can do dual coils if you make them small. I have tried it both ways and a single coil with 26g wire at 0.8 gives a mighty nice vape for me. The flavor is outstanding. We all have different preferences though. The difference in the vape to me between the Lemo and Billow is very minimal if at all, so I am gonna stick with my Lemo for now. If I could return the Billow I would. Not sure eciggy would even take it back, but with so many of us having the same problem they should if they want to give good customer service. I may email them tomorrow and see what they say.

Several weeks ago I got sick of the leakage and pulled the fill screw and replaced it with a spare that I had from an Orchid V4. I must have thrown the original screw away as I have not seen it since. With the new screw in I vaped it with no issues in performance. However, the screw head was slightly too big leaving it protruding just a bit and I was not about to scratch up the top of a mod with it so it stayed set aside. The tank was full of liquid when set aside and did not leak while being set aside.

Today I was bored and decided to break out the Dremmel and see if I could grind down the Orchid fill screw to get it to fit properly. I have some liquid that is cracking up one of my Orchids (thankfully I have plenty of M Tanks) which is why this became a priority. Grind down complete, the screw is fitting fine and no leaking thus far.

I guess I will see if this takes care of the issue. If it does not, then I am completely done with this atty. I am holding onto the invitation to review from Eciggity to see if this modification fixes the problem. If not, this thing goes in the parts drawer and the review is a 1 star.

Ordered a Billow on Black Friday...still waiting for it to ship. The restocking date gets pushed back every day.

After reading about the leaking I'm wondering if I should bail and cancel the order...maybe pickup a Lemo Drop. I have two Lemo's that work fine with zero leaking!

Mine came from the batch that came in on BF. So far its not leaking. So if yours comes from the third batch, maybe it will be fine.

Ok, so I'm still OCDing on this leaking prob. I don't own a billow yet but isn't the only way that juice can reach the air screws is through or beside the airtube/positive pin? If you're not flooding your atty it could be leaking in between the air tube and insulator couldn't it? Before you deligate it to the spare parts drawer maybe someone could disassemble their atty and use some 100% silicone sealant between the pos pin and insulator (from the top to the bottom of the deck) to see if that's the origin of the leak. I know it's a tall request but I really want one of these bad boys if it can be easily fixed!:D

Mine is first batch and "leak" is not exactly the right word for most of us who are having the issue. "Weep" is closer to correct. It forms like condensate would, only it is e-liquid rather than water. There is no tilting involved. This will happen when it is vertical/upright and just sitting there on a mod (or in a holder) for the whole damn time.

Mine leaks without tilting. It's standing upright. It can be on a mod or on a atty stand it does not matter, it leaks. I have had the "weeping" and I could live with that if that was all it ever did. Unfortunately I have too many times that it is leaking out the side holes and the bottom ones. I have also noticed ( and this may very well be in my head here lol) but one draw is fine and the next seems restricted. Or it will feel a bit tighter/restricted and then the next pull it's free and open again. Just plain weird.
