New Youde RTA the Bellus

[jefsview]

@jefsview a little PB&J?

No, that's someone else I've running the Blue Moo in the Bellus tonight to fully test it out. This was the one with the fill leak, so I thought I'd run it through it's paces to make certain it was just my over indulgence that had caused it.

So far, I'm impressed. Previously, my Aqua V2 clone was my best flavor rta, beating out the KFL clones. But the Bellus has trounced the Aqua V2.

Day 2, and today I get to see how well it performs as a daily carry to work.

Haven't had a single dry hit out of the first 2 tanks, so I guess I got the wicking right the first time on them.

I'll post again with the results after midnight.

Love this tank.

Still loving my Bellus as well. Got a dual 2.5 mm 26 gauge nife48 build in her with some OHW milkman. Tasty.

First post here! My Bellus kicks ....!! I was a lemo 2 guy, then bought an aromamizer and thought that was the ultimate... It is good, but I am head over heels about this Bellus I just bought for 32 at liberty vapors, my local suburban Philadelphia vape shop. There's more of a learning curve than the aromamizer, but I don't mind it took me forever and a Dremel to get my lemos correct. just put in a 2.5 mm Id 26 ga spaced at 7 wraps level with the airholes. 45 watts and it's unbelievable. I wicked the coils snug but not tight, and I combed and thinned the tails while trimming them so they are about 1/2 way down the juice holes. I had put the tails down in the wells previously but the tails were too thick and it was dry hits. The thinned tails are the key. Also the airflow really went through the roof with the thinned wick tails!! Anyway this is a great forum, you've all been great help. I'm enjoying some ITC nilla gorilla, but I've got 120 ml of jerry juice that's been in the steep closet for 3 weeks, so that's next on the list. My juice always tastes good, but this is a whole new level! I saw there's someone else hooked on jerry juice too!!

End of the Day [2] with the Bellus.

Today was a work day, and I am always leery of taking an untested RTA with me to work. I have my mod and tank with me in either my cargo pants pocket or jacket breast pocket and I walk hard and fast in my job. I've had mods and atomizers unscrew with my movements and the last thing I want to do is have a pocket full of broken glass or eliquid. The Bellus survived, intact. Only the airflow control moved slightly. Not a drop leaked or spilled, the fill cap or base didn't unscrew, and all was well.

So far, the UD Bellus has surpassed my expectations.

To anyone wanting to run larger coils.... raise them

I have had no problem with using 3mm twisted titanium in the Bellus. Just install them high and tight.

The higher coils also increase airflow dramatically.

In my experience, the higher coils also increase flavor. In most RTA/RDAs, the shorter the distance from the coil to the drip tip, the better the flavor is. The higher coils in the Bellus also work this way.

Got my two Bellus tanks on October 18th. After running these two tanks exclusively for a month, I finally decided to crack them open and re-wick.

I really didn't have to!

The wicks were all clean and intact with no discoloration or scorching, and except for some very light build-up on the coils the builds really looked like they were only a few days old.

I think that's a testament to how well the Bellus works.

Both builds:
Two-strand 28g ss430 twisted duals coming in about .2ohm
KGD cotton wicks
Pushing 30w in regular VW mode on my VTC mini
About 10mls DIY juice a day in each tank

Although only having used my Bellus for 15 days or so, I've noticed the same thing. Wicks are spotless. The coils are a different story, but I'm running a sweet mix. Finally decided to burn my coils last night and the wicks were untouched both inside the coils and the legs.

Running the supplied coils at .5 ohms, 40 watts, KGD pads with the skin left on.

I used my 3rd new Bellus tank tonight without issues, and just enjoying the flavor/vape. The nice thing about the Bellus running in single coil mode on my Evic VT (full size original), the non-blocked airhole face off the mod, so there is no condensation or vape residue hitting my toggle switch on the top of the mod like most of my other RTAs. In fact, I haven't gotten any condesation in the airhole, either, like was mention in a few YT reviews.

So far, the Bellus has been the best RTA I've used to date. Well constructed and very affordable. I can see myself buying a few more in the very near future, and throwing the KFL clones in the drawer for the vaporapocaylpse.

Did the same with my Fogger's weeks back though yesterday I pulled one out filled it up and vaped until it was empty - very disappointing. Put it in the draw along side of the Nova's and Pro-tank's, Vamo's and DNA 30 clone, IPV mini 30 who's paint is flaking off of.

Yes, I am retiring my Fogger V1.5. I'm tired of trying to build it. It's still a good MTL tank, but the build deck is so cramped and recessed. I'm surprised it has lasted for nearly 2 years.

I have the Fogger "one" V4 and "two" V5 just not the same flavor or production of clouds.

Good afternoon all! I effin' love this tank. That's all I have for now. Happy Friday.

 

[jefsview]

I dropped one of mine today. Luckily it was on carpet, so the glass didn't break.

During one of the refills, the top cap was stuck and I nearly unscrewed the whole tank. I wish there was a little knurling on that top cap. The refill of all three tanks was messy with leakage out the airflow. It didn't take too long to clear it, but it was messy. Next time, I have a plan of making certain the airflow is facing up ( I use the single coil adapter in mine), so hopefully that will cut down on the refilling leak.

Otherwise, been enjoying using the Bellus. Lasts a whole work day, and I'm in love with the flavor.

Check out a local skate shop and see if they have any grip tape. I got a couple feet they had as scrap for free and the stuff works just dandy for this sort of thing. Can cut it to length and sticks real well. As long as you don't mind a little off black color on your mod. If you have a black one it would be barely noticeable. Here is a pic of some I put on my ipv3 li to make it easier to slide off the door.

I am loving the Bellus as well. Haven't had a drop leak and been using it for a few weeks now. Hits good wicks very well it's becoming my favorite. Will have to see if the Crius takes the top spot, still waiting for that one. I put this drip tip on my Bellus. I do not care for steel drip tips so I am using this one and it works very well. Nice wide bore and comfortable on the lips.

I made a quick video to show the refill in action. a couple of build pics at the end.

Got my authentic from FT today, I'm a fan. I stuck in the two coils it came which came out to 0.5 ohms. I positioned mine so the airflow hits the bottom 3rd of the coils. Great flavor and vapor.
Comparing it to the Cthulhu V1 which has been my goto power-tank up till now, it kicks ..... I really like the build deck, compared to the Cthulhu which is horribly fiddly. Easier to wick too because of the bigger juice channels, I just poked the ends in. With the Cthulhu I had to give it a full topiary job to shape them to fit the channels.
I haven't even put a full tank through it yet, but I'm loving it like a juicy burger.

I ordered a few of these for my Bellus and Goliath V2.

Sick as tints!

Of course, it's coming from FastTech, so the Bellus V4 and the Goliath V6 will be out by the time they arrive, but hopefully Youde sticks to the same glass design.

Did it fit the Bellus?

 

[Croak]

Youde uses the same glass section for all their 2015 tanks so far.
