Let's discuss!

I'm a beginner myself and i find the deck relatively easy to build! Not to mention easy maintenance and also access to the deck with a tank full of juice!

So in love with this tank that i got another 2 to accompany the first!

Im looking for something easy to rebuilt. Any leakage? Is it cheap?

Subtank mini would be easier to build than the billow, just coz its single coil... Billow runs on dual coil, requires a little more patience.

I have since chucked my subtank mini aside after using the billow..

Leaked once when i wick too much on the juice channel.. Sorted it out by trimming the ends, so it sits nicely on the juice channel!

If bellus cos about 30-40sgd, how much does billow cost roughly?

Clouds quite subjective, depending on individual, im getting a decent amount of cloud.. on 70vg juice.

Flavor wise, pretty good for me.. I'm chasing flavors instead of clouds, so yeah, for RTA this works for me..

Emergency Exit
got this tank recently and wondering if any of you run this with nickel builds?
I tried on mine but always short of flavor with sig 75w. either my tuning cockup or something else lol...

0.08ohms 30awg Ni200, spaced. 2.4mm ID. 10 wraps ( I did a couple with 7 wraps)

1 thing I didnt check is the spacing between airhole and coil... i tend to go high a bit, maybe should set it lower?

I'm using one but had these problem:

1) Leaking since day 1. Tried wicking with little cotton, more cotton, still leaking.
Suspect the leaking is due to the O-ring above the AFC, and not due to wicking. But need some pros to confirm if they face similiar O-ring issue

2) Coil - using Kanthal 28 (7 coils), ohm is 0.95
Not much Flavor and i suspect is due to the coil. Because my previous stock coil have good flavor.

3) Any idea when should we change our coil and cotton?
So far for coil i change about 1 week+. Cotton 3-4 days.

Pro please correct my mistake. i'm abit disappointed about this tank because no matter which method i tried, still not up to expectation even though i watches the videos and follow their steps accordingly

1) I will get leaking issues if the juice channels (4 juice channels) are not properly stuffed with adequate amount of wick. Too little will result in overflowing of liquid, and too much will stifle the flow of liquid. If you have more or less diagnose it's an O-Ring problem, perhaps try switching out the O-Ring and see if that solves the problem?

2) Change coil lor..

3) Depends on your liquid make and the intensity of your vaping frequency. Chain vape with a high dose of sweetener (esp. those coming from up north) will necessitates higher frequency of rewicking and recoiling. There's no rule of thumb for this. Some can tolerate that funky taste for days while others can rewick daily (OCDs like me).

Billow V2 is my currently my favorite RTA.

Good build quality, relatively easy to recoil and wick and ive not had any leaks throughout the 3-4 months of daily use.

Good vapor production too as its dual coil and good flavor.

Only downside is the rba is small and at best you can probably fit a 26ga wire on it. No room for claptons or twisted.

Thinking of getting a 2nd one, probably the nano version.
