I've got one of my Bellus with UD 26/32 Clapton. Seems your in luck! It's an excellent setup!! Here's some pics to guide you on your quest for the perfect vape lol! Thunderdan is spot on. 2 mm will fit but be tight... Id recommend 1.5 mm Id. It's what my claptons at right now, in Bellus #2. 7 wraps. I used cotton bacon... I pull the AFC ring off and put the deck in after I install coils, I like to be able to see the bottom 1/2 of the coil through the air hole... It allows the air to go under and all around the coil and improves flavor, imo... I wick it just snug but not tight in the coil and trim it to go almost to the bottom of the channels. I use a little juice to keep the wick right in the channels... Good luck, enjoy!! If you need help, let us know.

I did it... I prefer my dual coils at about .7 ohms to a single coil build I did at 1.2 ohms. The .7 ohm with only 4 afc holes open is a tasty restricted lung hit, a little less is a good mtl. The single coil just didn't do the tank justice imo. Go for it, Id love to get your opinion!!! What build are u putting in??
I'm going to just snip of one of the duals, honestly I will have to look inside to know what it is.
It's NiFe 52, 7 or 8 wraps on 2.7 mm shaft.

So this build is working perfect, just vaped the tank down low, cracked the top, filled it up with a unicorn bottle, recapped the unicorn bottle, screwed the cap back on the Bellus, and took a perfect hit, not even a hint of flooding, just more perfect hits... Never even touched the AFC, no tank tipping while screwing, lol... It's right on!!!

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!

What other tanks do you use besides the smok tank?

I ended up at 1.5mm id out of necessity as I was having a bit of trouble fitting larger diameter coils in there. The twisted 24ga starts looking pretty thick when stuffing it in this tank. Even at 1.5mm I had to mount the coils high, and pull them towards each other to clear the chimney. The tank is working very well though.

Aside from the Bellus I also have a goblin mini which I build for my wife and the Smok with both the single and dual coil rba decks. I've also got a selection of rda's because I had all but given up on tank systems for the longest time. (Hadn't touched one since the Aerotank was in fashion.) These new tank systems are really great though and to be honest I haven't been giving my rda's any attention lately.

Yup I've been ignoring my rdas more, although I just picked up the alliance v2 which is an awesome rda. These tanks though, your right... I haven't found one yet that gives the same vape as my drippers, but they are getting closer... I have lots of tanks, but there are 3 different models, each of which I declare my favorite while using it, lol. The Bellus is one, the MT and the aroma are the other 2... I like them all! I'm anxiously awaiting the release date for the HIGO. it's looking pretty awesome, it's not available yet, but as soon as I hear it's available im ordering it. Maybe it will be "the one"
