I guess this thread has been quiet for a few days so I'll add my latest favorite build.

13 wraps, 28 AWG Ti G1, 2.5 mm, comes in around 0.46 ohm. I definitely prefer this build over fewer wraps or thicker wire. Heats fast and produces great flavor -- and a big cloud to boot.

Edit: oh crap, the resistance gets too high for dna 200 when it heats up. Now do I switch to Ni 200, reduce wraps or increase wire diameter to 26 AWG. Damn I thought I had it just right lol.

I'm pretty happy with my billows flavor. when I got mine it i grabbed a pre made coil that came with another RTA I'd gotten and I was feeling particularlay lazy so I used it in my billow v2. it turned out to be a .25 ohm coil. I'm using that at 25 watts and I'm getting a pretty good vape. likening how it's tasting and liking the vapor production. I'm using native wick as my cotton which is a organic cotton woven in a way that it's formed the right size for a wick. it comes in a roll and gives a nice vape. so far I would recommend the billow 2 to anyone who likes a good RTA. I love the tank size and have no issues. no leaks and no dry hits. it's easy to build and wick. love that the tank is glass! :thumbs:

I have both as well, actually two Billow V2's and one Aromamizer. I really like the RDTA but my Billows are still my favorites.
I feel same way, Billow V2s first choice, Aromamiser RTDA close second, that may change with the Velocity style decks get here. Has anyone received their new decks yet?

It's all in the builds. Took me three builds to understand the hype. Now my Aromamizer is pumping out close to two times the vape of my Billow with slightly muted flavor(or maybe my three month old 3500 mls of DIY is going bad?). I'll prolly order some Clapton wire soon and give that a go. But y'all have to admit it takes half the time to build/wick with an Aromamizer.

The Aromamizer is definitely easier to build and wick. I've tried a bunch of different builds in the RDTA and so far claptons and quad verticals are my favorite. Despite all that my billows still beat it but just barely, IMO. I love them both.

The Aromamizer! They just started shipping the new velocity style decks! I haven't ordered one yet but plan to very soon.
Oh nice. Seeing I'm hitting my velocity as I'm posting. I thought that maybe Eciggity and Ehpro took Rips advice and revamped their deck without me knowing about it. How's the wicking process for this rta?

For me it's been pretty dang easy. Just have to tuck the fluffy tails loosely under the coils. If you pack them down you risk dry hits. Really easy though to do it right.

My Aromamizer has my Billow v2 on the sidelines atm. :/
Although I will say the Billow has better flavor.

but isn't the Aromamizer a dripper? (please correct me if I'm wrong) that's saying a lot when it comes to flavor if the Billow v2 beats out a dripper when it comes to flavor!! I've never tried the Aromamizer myself, but I do like the convience of a tank (guess I'm Lazy);)

I got into rda's about a year ago. My use of drippers drastically declined when I got the Billow V2. It's not better than my Rda's in the flavor department. But it can hold its own. So make room on the lazy seat for me [emoji3]

For the record I have been talking about the Aromamizer RDTA...
