I will admit I haven't read through this entire thread so, if this has been answered sorry. How does this tank compare to the array of new sub tanks that are continuously hitting the market? Airflow, flavor and ease of use are concerns, but I would rather dry burn a coil and add cotton than buy a new pre built.

I think it's the best tank on the market. There can be some matching issues and taking it apart is a pain, but it's unmatched in performance and airflow

It doesn't seem so difficult. Looks about the same as a kayfun lite. Are they coming out with a v2? What I see it lacking is access to the build deck when the tank is full. Either build it correctly the first time or dump the juice and try again.

That is a huge downside but most of the time it is easy enough to wick right that adjustments aren't needed. I really love this tank but no matter how much I try to make it a top choice in the rotation, inconvenience often trumps performance. For a relaxed vape session using an outstanding performer, this is the tank of choice. For I'm running out the door and need a trouble free tank, this just isn't it. :(

I'm suddenly having bad luck with builds on this thing lately. The last two I've done have been very weak in flavor and vapor. I tried rewicking it, and still no change. I thought maybe it was vapers tongue at first, but my juice tastes great on my drippers. I didn't change the way I build compared to when I first got it and was having good performance from it. Not sure what's going on. Yesterday, it tastes like absolute nothingness. I may as well have been vaping straight VG.

i'm a bit of a kayfun fan boy but the K4 biggest issues was the spring imo this will not have that issue (dont see a need for a spring am i missing something) The only possible issue is filling not sure how they are going to do that..... is this another k4 like screw down fill system?? sort of looks like it to me but what do i know lol.... I personly never minded that fill system....

Well they listened. It looks to have addressed every problem I had with the v1 except . . . does it disturb the build to access the deck? One exceptional feature of the billow v2 (and kfun v4 as well) is the inner chimney bottom that protects the build when removing the deck.

This is close to if not exactly what I've been looking for -- performance, convenience and capacity of a billow v2 with a more sleek look.

According to the last Photo No you can access the build deck without emptying the tank..... I just saw a store that had a ETA of around the end of August..... now all i have to do is wait dame

Certainly the wicks, particularly the big fluffy variety. I'm with you on this thinking. If you need access to the chamber to check and adjust a new build--granted that is only an if--you want to access it from above where coil clearance etc. is clearly visible. In which case you will have to disassemble the tank anyway.

I don't have a Billow V2, but that inner chamber feature struck me as it's most creative and original advance.
