What are you drinking?

This is tea with some ice. After a cup of coffe, I usually drink that one.

By the way, please help me. Why the Bellus produce vapor with very funny taste? I mean funny, not harsh, not burn, but just funny, like .. mute or something like that. It is totally different with the Subtank (Subtank has fruit taste clearly). I do not know why. I try to re-wick twice, but the same result. Please help me to figure out. (or maybe my tongue has problem :eek:)

Did you clean it? It may have some left over machine oils on it.

New tanks and rda normally have left over machine oil residue on them and it's advisable to give them a clean before you go vaping on it, or else you will get the funny nasty tastes. The way I cleaned my Aromamizer tank was to first dissemble it completely, leave it submerged in hot soapy water (make sure the soap is fragrant free) and then give it all a rinse, then leave it in vodka. After that give it another rinse, which I will soon. Some suggest to take a toothbrush to it as well to give it a more thorough clean.

You have way too much wick in there, you only need a tail coming out each end of the coil into the wells, and the bottom of the wick should be flush with the bottom of the wells (in my opinion).

Hi there and thank so much for all your help !

As I promised, now I review this Bellus after a lot of try (boil it, put it in vodka, wick, re-wick, again and again). After all of things, I have succeed. The Bellus is a great RTA, tons of vapor, very smooth vapor flow, no spitting liquid into mouth, no popping. Everything is just smoothly. Though the flavour is good but a little lighter than Subtank Mini with RBA deck. I can give it 9.5/10 point (-0.5 because of leaking a little bit of juice after filling). What a great tank ! :wub:

By the way, I have a small problem with it (Bellus). Normally, it does not has any leaking issue, but whenever I re-fill this tank (top filling) it will leaks a little of juice. Does anyone face with this problem? Please help me if you have any trick to fix that. :p

Thus, my Subtank mini with RBA usually (nearly always) popping, gurgling, spitting juice to my mouth. Do I do something wrong? Please help me on that !

When you top fill, invert the tank and close the airflow, flip it upright, fill it, close it, flip it over again, open air, stick on mod, good to go! That should alleviate any leaking during filling.

Not sure about your kanger setup question. My kangers have always popped a little, but no juice in mouth result.

Glad you got your Bellus working and are enjoying it!

Nice!
Play with the wicking. It takes a little practice to get it right.
I washed my Bellus several times. Machine oil is nasty and most Chinese atomizers come covered in it.

Thank you all,

Popping, gurgling are not about my concern. However, this Subtank spits juice into my mouth, drip-tip and the space between drip-tip and the chimney, it really kick me off enjoyment. Because swallowing e-juice is not good at all. Here is the picture of my RBA, please help me to figure out:

I think there's a bit too much cotton in this setup as well. I use just use a strip of cotton in the subtank, so the ends are covering the juice ports.

Edit: trying to post a picture but photobucket is down for maintenance... of course

@tieuphieu Good job on the review. It looks like a good tank. What watts are you vaping it at now? I too just upgraded from my Subox Mini and now all of a sudden I am vaping at 55w :)

Popping, gurgling and hot juice in the month was a regular occurrence with me in the Kanger. After some trial and error, I realised if I tried to minimise how much cotton I put in it but spent more time dressing an fluffing the ends up, it a better job of feeding the juice; therefore, less gurgling and nil splash back.
