Still enjoying my 3 Bellus tanks. On the last rebuild/dry burn/re-wicking, 2 of the tanks flooded again. Just on the initial fill. Not certain why, just having a bad build day I suppose.
It happens! I've built/wicked this thing more times than I'm proud to say. And I still manage to jack it up sometimes. The way I wicked this yesterday sorta looks like Sloth from the Goonies.

You should enjoy the Bellus... It's a great vape, just took a couple builds to tack it down...

I bought a goblin mini for my wife a while back and nailed it out of the park after a couple of builds. Awesome flavor, vapor, and leak free. I also have the single rba deck on the tfv4 absolutely singing. I'm not expecting much trouble from the bellus at all. Really look forward to putting a build in it, but work and holiday errands take precedence. Soon.

I received this tank about a week ago. My very first build the tank leaked and I had terrible spitback, however I immediately rewicked and since then vaping nirvana. No leaks what so ever. I put several different builds in it and am currently rocking a 26ga eight wrap 2.4mm dual parallel build and it's performing great. Nothing special on the wicking. My wicks tend to be sort of tight in the coils and the wick length not very long (just long enough to fit into the channels comfortably).

I love the flavor from this tank more than the aromazier at the moment but I am still experimenting with different builds in the aromamizer.

Good luck for all of you out there having difficulties with this tank. Its all about the wicking for this bad boy.

Finally got a chance to put a build in the bellus last night and all I can say is: Wow! Fantastic flavor, and more vapor output than I expected

Deck to chimney clearance is at a minimum on this tank for sure, especially compared to the tfv4, but I was able to squeeze a dual coil twisted 24ga titanium build into it. 6 wraps each @ about 1.5mm inner diameter. Clocks in at .09 ohms.

Wicked with rayon. No flooding, gurgling, leaking, or dry hit issues. Just a really tasty vape.

Really like the look of the black version that I got. Two tone rifled drip tip looks great on it as well. Top fill works well. AFC is smooth and stays put. A winner of a tank imo.

Here's my build and wicking. My wicking is much shorter than others I've seen.

View attachment 516281

My wicks were best short like yours with 2.5 mm coils... Switching to 2 mm or 1.5 mm allowed me to wick to the bottom of the channels, still gives great wicking, but a little less dicey on refilling... Either method works great, glad it's working so good for you. My 2 Bellus are totally different, one is the 1.5 mm claptons, the second is 13 2mm wraps of 28 ga Ohming out at about .7, 35 watts gives cooler vape, excellent flavor, and awesome battery life. I run it on my little single battery Pegasus mod, it's super slim. There's so many ways this tank works great, it is amazing. This build gives no spit back, but a super dense cool vape, and I can hear the juice flowing in, it's insane when you get it perfect. Anyone else able to "hear" when your wicking at the perfect rate, not too much to make it pop and spit, but enough that the vape is super saturated...

Haadkoe, nice choice on the 1.5 mm Id... I hadn't seen many running that small besides me... I think small diameter coils cook fresh juice every time, while a 3 mm Id coil for example, heats the same juice more than once. I think the taste is better with little coils, but the "sweet spot ", what wattage range the coil performs adequately, is much smaller, due to the smaller reservoir of juice contained in the wick, and wicking becomes more critical... Well done!

I'm gonna try a smaller coil build next time to experience the difference.

Hopefully it works for you! I'm liking it! It is easier to put the coils in and opens the airflow up significantly... Since the build deck isn't the most spacious... But I think the small chamber is part of the good flavor... I def like everything about this tank, and have since I bought my first one. It's incredibly well constructed esp for the price...

Hey guys, Tomorrow I will be receiving my Bellus I ordered from SLOWtech... I ordered from them to save some bucks but next time Ill order from a US Seller. Its just too much time... Anyways, I also ordered some clapton 32/26 awg.

What drill bit should I use and how many wraps to get the best vape? It will be my first time using clapton wire.

I would say the biggest you'll want to try is 2mm ID. 1.5-2mm should fit fine.
