Hey ya'll! I just got my Billow & a sigelei 150 watt the other day, and I'm loving combo! <3

The good-
-Huuuuge airflow! I'm getting tremendous clouds on this compared to any other rta I've ever used. I can even compare the clouds to my dripper. Maybe just a liiitle bit less, but considering I don't have to drip every 10 minutes, this thing is fantastic.
-Flavoricious! I loooove the flavor I get off this thing. Can't really say much more... It's just perfect in this area.
-It keeps up! No dry hits yet, and I don't expect any. I'm using an 80vg blend and it's keeping up, sometimes too much lol + I'm vaping & .2ohms @ 75-90watts

The bad--
You HAVE to build this thing with a pretty decent amount of cotton, and make sure your coils are very close to the afc holes, or it will leak. Horribly.
-The screws on the deck are kind of wonky. They come out pretty easily, and can cut wire that you've put in there. I'm using 24 gauge now and it hasn't cut it yet, but the possibility is there.
-The fill hole kind of sucks. You have to use a needle nose tip, or you could fill it from the top (which is what I do) but that way it will leak for sure. Seems like it doesn't leak so bad though if I cover the afc holes (preferably with a napkin or something) and that way it won't leak.
-The chimney is one piece (which doesn't bother me that bad, but considering you've got to stick a lot of cotton in there, there's a lot of potential for the cotton to get caught onto the threads.

Tips!
-
-This thing has the potential to leak very bad. The holes at the bottom that lead to the juice channels are very large which is great because it keeps up, but if you're not vaping @ a high wattage & if you haven't stuck enough cotton into your build, this thing WILL leak. It has done so to me.
-I've found that the leaking has lowered dramatically after I've put my coils as close to the afc holes without allowing them to touch the deck.
-The bottom of the chimney isn't THAT big, it's not super small, but it's not particularly large, so I suggest using nano coils. I use 6 wrap 24 gauge kanthal wrapped around a 1mm drill bit. Seems to fit fine, only problem is it's just a little difficult to get my cotton into those small diameter holes.

Final Thoughts-

-I'm sure after reading this you'll realize that i absolutely love this thing. I can't think of much they could do better besides possibly widening the chimney, and making the tank a little more top-fill friendly. Anyway, you can't get much better for the price! Thanks Eciggity and EHpro!
