Been running my Billow for a few days at 40W with no leaking issues. Also it doesn't whistle. Great vapour production and flavour. I think I was lucky enough to get one of the good ones.

its better because you can make it tighter and it doesnt partially cut the wire
I got my billow Thursday December 11th. De-burred the deck screws with a fine emery board. built dual micro coils, 26 gauge wire twisted two strands, 7/6 wrap on a 3/32 pin for .22 ohms. vaping it at 59 watts on my Sigelei 100 watt. Nice warm vape. good vapor production and flavor.
I do not use the fill screw. just tighten the chimney into the top cap, then hold the glass firmly against the top silicone gasket and fill using a needle top bottle. finally I invert the base and screw it into the chimney and tank assembly. this method also allows me to unscrew the base with the device inverted to refill the tank and or change the wick. there has been no leaking so far.
may try a .5 ohm build next. this is a bit hot!

So after 2 days and 2 tankfuls, I can say the plumbers tape around the air control screws has eliminated the leaking for me, so to others with the same problem, there is a solution, not the best, but does work for me 
How are you getting 2.2 ohms from that build? Twisted 26 gauge dual coils 6 wraps at 3/32 diameter should be giving you a much lower resistance than that. Are you sure you don't mean 0.22 ohms?

Im sure he meant .22ohms not 2.2
.. Great to hear Nailz! I wish I didn't have to modify my brand new tank to keep it from leaking, but it's good to know there's a fix.. My new AF screws should be here tomorrow.
Hey guys, what do you think is the best diameter to wrap coils on with this tank? I used a 5/64in drill bit last time with 26g, about 6-8 wraps I can't remember. I might try my 3/32 bit next time.

This Penzer uses the same principal as Billow:
This Panzer stock was NOT the best vape I ever had. The Airflow was too tight and it was leaking a little. Long story – short, I had my way with it. I drilled horizontal air holes 2.5 mm and drilled vertical hole to install 10 Gauge hypodermic needles 2.5 mm. The vape is great now and it no longer leaks.

The Billow gets reviewed by the the Rip Man....

I am glad I was not playing a drinking game for "shaft" while watching his review.
ROTFLMAO, I think he likes saying shaft and hard in the same sentence.
Gonna have to disagree with his review since he was running a single coil. That's really not an optimal setup for this atty. Also, if the length of the chimney was such a big deal, then you could easily solve that by using a shorter drip tip. IMO the Lemo is great if you prefer single coils and the Billow is better if you prefer duals. Btw, the guy from eciggity mentioned on ecr that they are planning on doing a drop version of the Billow.
Got my Billow yesterday. I cashed in on the the Black Friday sale. Twisted up two strands of 32 gage nickel for the DNA 40. Wrapped two coils 9 or 10 wraps can't remember. Came in at .10 ohms. Got the DNA 40 set 410° and 20 watts, perfect.
why is it not optimal? close off one airhole, split the wick. works great in my aquav2 which also can do single or dual.
Interestingly, Rip didn't split the wick. Wouldn't that make it prone to flooding?
I want to try a new build this weekend. I'm getting better flavor from my Orchidv3 with the same build. Not sure if I should go up or down. I'm running 0.4ohm now.

I received my Billow yesterday and just threw it together with a single coil at about .75 ohms. Actually good vapor and flavor...
No leaking...great...15 minutes later it seems to be weeping from below so I pulled it off the rDNA30 and put it on a mechanical.
I like the thing but I hate stuff that leaks. I can't tell if its coming from the fill screw or the air flow screw(s).
