Billow V3

[Roadtrip635]

I just saw a first look vid on the upcoming Billow V3. It will have top fill similar to the OBS Crius, V-deck, additional center post airflow and be available in 23mm and 25mm.

This vid is using a pre-production model and there will be some changes made before the final product, but it does look promising.

The center hole is for airflow, like the Gemini rta.

Top fill like the Crius.

It is a Crius with the Gemini top air.

Yep, I don't like the deck design, they will greatly reduce the airflow in the deck with the solid metal post and make building it a little harder to prevent shorting.

To much damn metal on those posts. I own Billows tanks and this one will be a pass.

Kind of eliminates one of the pluses of the two post deck. I'm interested if they do a 25mm without it.

 

[Marc411]

Ya a 25mm without the metal slab would be nice (same for the 22mm) for the extra liquid capacity. I'm kind of curious why they would try to reinvent the wheel and create posts that would reduce airflow. TL on that deck would be a drag with the reduced flow.

Damn shame, I have been a big fan of the Billow tanks. Now I'll have a void in my collection

.....this makes me sad : (

I've owned V1's & V2's.... I too, will be giving this one a miss.

Whoaaaa, I just say a pictire of anothrr Billow V3 that was different, you could see the bottom oring and it had JFC.

It does. Crius/Griffin styled with stops like the Bachelor.

That solid block of metal for a post/airflow is a turnoff, hopefully it won't actually look like that in the final production. Hopefully if they keep that center air post they make it separate from the deck post.

 

[Marc411]

They should have just gone with a velocity deck from the beginning. It's hard to figure out what they are thinking with that design.

 

[ismokeinbinary]

Agree with everyone else, the "center airflow" design is a fail. They should just have a hole in the middle of the deck..or just not have it at all...

Right now, I'm trying to decide between the Billow V2 and the Orchid V4. Not being a lung hitter I'm wondering about air flow. I like being able to close it down or open it up like the Lemo 2. I finally chucked the Lemo 2 in the trash after the chimney threads stuck (again) and I bent the deck assembly trying to (gently) get it to break loose. I tried rubber jar opener pads and duct tape before resorting to the pliers.

I hear that the Billow V2 is the winner for flavor. Anyone like the Orchid V4? I want 4ml - 5ml juice capacity like the Kayfun line and I'm not a fan of tanks that tend to leak juice.

 

[roxynoodle]

I prefer the Billow v2 over the Orchid v4.

 

[rhelton]

Does not look bad to me and it still keeps that Billow feel.

 

[nostradadus]

Here's hoping they take some of the design suggestions from the current YouTube reviewers of the V3 before they boot it out to the market. ; )

 

[MadVLN]

i'm not discounting it because of the thick post. the v2 had a 4post deck. so this will have the ease of build of a 2 post, but with more direct air flow to the coils. i don't know how it would be worse than the V2.

i might have to get one of these. i'm not real crazy about the crius style fill port tho.

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