Why are you running the tails of your wicks into the channels? I thought you're just supposed to put them right above where the channels meet the deck...? Keep hearing conflicting, albeit always vehement and assuring, reports on this matter. And that applies to any rta like this, like the orchid, fogger, billow, etc

The tails were cut flush with the deck. After being juiced, a few stragglers must have poked into the juice channels. *shrug*

I've had no issues with wicking at high power so I guess it works okay.

But how can you know until you at least try vaping one? Also, how does the flavor and vapor production on the lemo compare to the orchid v2 or later? Thanks =]

I clearly stated: "I don't have the billow" because it is leaker. But how can I know, I DON'T and did not imply I did. You on the other hand seem to be quite the know it all, with your post plastered all over the theard.

Go buy one then you will know. :censored:

So everybody's Billow leaks? I grabbed one of these with my IPV3 and they should both be here tomorrow.. I was stuck between the Lemo and Billow, but went with the Billow (I love T-post design's)..

I hope I can keep it for leaking. This will be my very 1st RTA style, and I grabbed it because I wanted that "RDA type" vape on the run!! My juice is too expensive to let it leak!
:ohmy:

My Billow arrived today. Threw in a 0.5 ohm dual coil build with 26 gauge kanthal and it's amazing. No leaking or anything.

Just got my Billow today and its very impressive! Airflow is the best (most airy with AFC opened all the way) of all factory RTA's including Orchid 1&4, Fogger 4.1, and Lemo. Vapes awesome and no leaks during my first 3 hours anyway. Lots of vapor, great flavor. I sanded the screw bottoms to avoid that issue. Filling needs improvement but works. My only real complaint is the whistling noise it makes. Not the worst I've heard but still noticeable to me but I'm picky about that. With AFC all the way open it whistles a bit and generally a little on the loud side. Overall this thing is nice and first impression is very good!! Prob will be my fav now but time will tell if it beats out the drilled Orchid v4.

.7 ohm dual 28ga 10 wraps on 1.9mm

Wow nice pic CacHooka!! That's about the same as my go-to build for RDA's too (dual 26g microcoils, around 0.4-0.7ohm), so great to hear!!
Man I love the looks of that Sig Plus.. My IPV3 will be here tomorrow with my Billow, but I definitely like the looks of that black Plus better. But I went for the IPV because of it's performance, range, and new 0.01ohm accuracy.

I might have to jump and get the Plus as well around Xmas, lol.. Spending way too much lately!
.... Hey, is it possible to do a single coil on this, or nah? I wanted to try some of my flat wire for the 1st time with it, but it appears I'd need some NR wire to weld to it - which I don't have and can't see myself doing lol

I thought it was just me, filing those screws... Now I see that I'm not along. I made mines shorter and ball point so they won't cut the wire that easy.

No, a couple people said they were cutting wire. So I'm going to be proactive and fix that problem before I build it. My Orchid cut a wire, too, so will do it at the same time. Probably tomorrow.

I got mine in today (Bought on BF). I did a build with twisted 32g at 1ohm. The flavor in this thing is really good. I normally vape a kayfun lite+ at ~15w which has amazing flavor but the Billow is not to far behind. It kills the Lemo and FoggerV4 in the flavor departments and smokes the Fogger in vapor. I took it to 27.5w and the wicking kept up just fine. I like a cooler vape so I dropped to 21.1w and I can chain vape without dry hits. I had the screw cutting the wire issue so I stuck them between tweezers and sanded them a bit and works fine now. I loaded it up with Boba's juice wise.

Going to lay it on its side tonight to see if I get leaking.

So far I am very happy with this purchase seems like its time to sale the Lemo and get a few bucks back on it.

Can you do single coils on it too, or just dual? Mine will be here tomorrow!!
.... along with a silver IPV3, a Hobo V2 clone by Infinite, and a CLT V2, and a pair of Samsung 25R & Efest LUC charger
:D

You would need to block the juice channels on the side you arent using and thats not something i would really try on this thing. Thats what the Lemo is for.
