I believe someone has. If I recall, 2.5mm was too big but 2mm worked.
Yeah, I had to go with 2mm using 26/32. I made some 28/32 last week so maybe that would get me bigger diameter coils.
You know what my biggest complaint about the Bellus is?
The damn seam between the filler cap and top catches my mustache and yanks hairs out. Painfully.

funny you say that. that happens to me, not with my bellus, but with some of my tanks that have loose drip tips. sometimes a single strand of hair will get caught between the bottom of the drip tip and top of the tank. yank, OUCH!!!!
Since I have a hairless head (thanks Grandpa!), I feel the need for some hair north of the border to play with, and I can't twirl my back hair melodramatically. Or at least I've never tried.
Another thing most women don't have to deal with (baldness) 
But, you probably don't have hot flashes.

Bellus has been my goto rta these days... It's very good... Lemo 2 go into the drawer. I would love to have aromamizer velocity deck but don't like its rubber band at apl
Chain vapes no issue @ 90 watts, picture was taken specifically to show the build, pulled right after a 70 watt chain session, you can see how saturated it was. Only reason I can see for dry hits using this method is cotton density, or your specific cotton. Shiseido cotton is the current bag I'm working on.
I don't bother closing the AFC when filling, no tipping, tilting, inverting, no leaking, have now run this build to 120 watts not even a hint of low saturation.
Just got my Bellus today. So far it's an awesome vape! It's a little more tricky to build than the Aromamizer that was stolen from me but IMO the vape is so much better! First build is dual 26/34 gauge claptons, 2mm ID, 6 wrap at .35 ohms. No leaks or dry hits, guess I've got beginners luck at wicking!
Flanked by two of my Billow V2's...

So I can't quite get my first build nailed down. I would normally be trying to figure it out on my own, but this is the first time I've had trouble wicking an RTA in a while (Crius, Cthulhu v2, Goblin mini and the Aromamizer being the most recent).
My problem is that I keep getting "half-dry hits" every 3-5 pulls. And it's rare that I get a saturated pull unless I heavily prime.
I wicked it using a quasi scottish roll -- not very much resistance pulling through -- and cut my wicks to a few mm above the bottom of the channels. Do the wicks need to be lightly contouring the inner portion of the channels, or does it matter? My wicks fit within the space, but they do puff out (they're sort of thick/dense tails, I guess).
Running an 8 wrap 26 AWG non spaced...pretty simple build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you have the channels overstuffed, choking the juice flow. Try thinning and shortening, both have worked very well for me at least: New Youde RTA the Bellus
I've been recovering from a few months of using and loving a lemo, where "wicking chunky" was the way to go. Since the tails are still probably thicker than needed, trimming them back to that shelf in the channels seems to work well. One thing that has helped me is building Scottish roll with adding rayon. I pull apart the cotton and rayon and lay one layer over the other, then roll it so the rayon is the outer layer. I figure this reduces the amount the wick swells when wet.
I'm going to start trying to make the tails thinner and longer and see how that works as well. My last wicking leaked when refilling and I fixed it by pulling the tails out longer.
My build seems to work quite well so far, it is to the bottom of the channels, but not overly dense, I've yet to have any leaking, even when filling, and can run the dual 2.5mm 22g .25 ohm build @120 watts with full saturation
Just ordered a few of these from 101vapes and looking forward to trying them out as replacements for some of my generation 1 RTAs (KFL v1/v2 clones; Fogger 1.5). I missed out on the Authentic Aqua V2 sell-off a month or so ago, since I enjoy the Tobecco clones so much. Should have these in a few days, and pretty excited about them.
Will do.I don't think anyone actually has a black one yet. You let us know, eh?
The replacement glass and drip tip for the goblin mini also fits this tank. If anyone is interested, I grabbed a black one from Origin.
Whelp, thanks, that did the trick. This thing likes a lot less wick in the channels than most that I've tried this year.
