Billow V3

[Haylon357]

I'm a huge fan of the Billow. I have 3 v1's, 1 nano v1, 2 v2's, and 2 nano v2's. Now the one that I have been looking forward to is out. There is only 1 reason I won't be all over this. That reason is the fact Ehpro gave me the middle finger when I asked them where I could buy a replacement top fill seal for my Bachelor. Total lack of class and customer support.

If you had to choose, would you go for the Griffin or the Billow v3? Why?

Just received the Billow V3
Had it for a few days
I have had all previous itertaions - and I have alswys found them amongst the Tops for Flavor

Really great flavor as all Billows are
Almost as much as air flow - fully open as the Griffin
Nice machining (except fill cap)- all threads are smooth
Nice deck
BUT - the Crius style fill top is really Janky
In Mike's Video he has the same issue and kind of "brushes" by it

It works - but it jams and is not smooth at all
You kind of get used to it

Use plenty of cotton - I tried less and got leaks
Don't over stuff the AFC/juice channel but do fill her up

Billow is still Number 1 for me - waiting for Billow 25 and Gemini 25

Thanks dude

I'm looking at a few of the new 25mm rtas and billow v3 was on my list

Griffin in my opinion only as the 22mm is the nutz and with top airflow

I know they have a 25mm version in the works, but I wonder if they will also have a Nano version again?

I'm wondering the same. After getting my goblin mini v2 and seeing how well tanks have come along, I'm in the market for another as my dripping has decreased significantly. However, as much as I'd like to get a billow 25 to put on the rx200 for driving, I'd really like a nano for pocket carry. 2ish ml and low profile would be nice but I'm not sure how they'd get the profile down with the topfill.

A close friend got a Billow V3 and it's total garbage. The afc ring is very lose and rattles when you jiggle the tank. I had a vape off of it and I was not impressed. My Griffin blows this thing out of the water. I'm a huge Billow fan. But they really dropped the ball on the V3.

I received my Billow V3 yesterday. I purchased this to replace my scratched and twice broken Crius. I've cleaned it twice and re-built 5 or 6 times and every time I get a little heat in it I get a horrible taste out of it. I can't tell what it is though. For a few hits it tastes fine, but then a slight taste starts to surface, almost like burning rubber or something. It's not the taste of cotton burning. Every time I take it apart it looks like it's wicking OK. I have no idea what could be wrong. I'm starting to think I wasted my money on the wrong tank.

The same thing happened to me with my Billow v2. I ended up taking all the O rings that I could find and giving the tank a 4 hour soak in vinegar. Then I washed it with hot soapy water. Rinsed it off real good and reinstalled the O rings. Everything was fine after that. Oh, I also soaked the O rings in hot, soapy water. May wanna give that a try.

While I am a huge Billow fan, I've been leaning more towards the RDTA type tanks these days. Does look nice though.

I found the problem with mine: The screw from the bottom (in the 510 connector) that holds the positive post/side airflow on was loose, so it must have been heating up the insulator below it. I cleaned the insulator off in some alcohol and put it back together and the funny taste is finally gone. I don't think I should have had to do this, but at least now I don't feel like I wasted any money.

If I didn't get the limited Crius V3, I'd definitely be back on the Billow-ship, but they're 95% identical and as much as I like having that air hole lip, it's not $35 much. Definitely nice to see that whole collaboration sticking pretty close to the current RTA feature line and everything.

My Billow V3 is due for delivery on Monday. Hoping it's as good as my 5 Billow V2's!

I went ahead and pulled the trigger. You will like it. The only thing that I don't like is the top fill. Other than that, it's a solid tank

I ended up skipping the V3 and got the V3 Plus instead. Just built it for the first time today and so far I give it a thumbs up!

L to R Lavabox w Griffin 25mm (Top Airflow), Reuleaux w Aromamizer Supreme, Lavabox w Billow V3 Plus

Cheers,

Got my V3 today. So far I like it a lot!

 

[rice721]

surprised this one isn't getting as much love as the others. Puts out amazing flavor. Wish it was 22mm so it would sit without overhang on all my mods. Makes me miss my billow v2.

Anyone tried using the Metal / Steel tank that they sell on eciggity? Does it just replace the glass or does it fit over the glass?

I believe it replaces the glass. I only see steel tanks for the V1 and V2 though. The V3 glass is shorter than the V2, BTW.

Still digging it Jim? I was thinking about grabbing the 25mm.
