Update: did some more research turns out it is a clone but a real nice one vapes great. So I ordered an authentic one so for the only difference is the clone has grub screws instead of Phillips and possibly a different kind of insulator but I'm running 28g 2mil double rapped coils at a total of .2 ohms and it not getting hot unlike my fogger v6 which melted the insulator at .25 ohms. Will have more updates.
Looks killer! What ohm? I bet better flav with all the surface area... I like how it covers the air holes. I wrap 8 26ga kanthol 2.5mm and the coils are smaller than the air holes. Idk if it makes a big difference or not.
0.26 ohm. Kanthal will probably be close to triple that. It has a tighter draw because it does take up most of the space in there. So far I am getting excellent flavor and density.

Yeah, next time my coils need a cleaning I'm going to replace with 3.mm and give it a go
Are you using temp control with TI contact coils? It has been said that using contact coils will make TC inaccurate.
I just can't seem to figure out how to fit a true 3mm dual coil set up in my billow. No matter what I get a rub on the chimney or the post. 2.5 MM coils seem to be the largest I can fit and be comfortable I'm not going to short it out.
So far contact coils have performed 100x better for me. If TC is a little inaccurate with contact I'll take it because the vape is so much better.

On another note, my drop kit for the Billow V2 is in the mailbox waiting for me at home! Can't wait to see how it performs flavor wise. Hope it gives the same amped flavor the Lemo drop did for the Lemo.
What gauge are you using? 26ga is the max gauge for 3.0mm from my experience and 26ga definitely takes some patience.

I'm using 27. I bought 26, 27 and 28 guage. I have been using the 27 most of the time.
Make sure you are inserting the coil then moving it over so the wraps are centered where there is more room.

Does anybody know where I can order some more screws and what size they are? Almost lost my last one as it went flying across the kitchen when I was rebuilding! Took me like an hour to find the dam thing. I eventually somehow found it though. I want to buy a bunch of extras.
Look in the baggy that came with your v2 and there should be a few extra screws.

I ended up ordering a bunch of grub screws. Much better than the stock ones

Well I got the drop kit, or nano kit, installed on the Billow last night. Man what a difference in flavor and temperature. It's a whole new tank now. I can't say better or worse yet, but very different. Flavor seems to be amped up some for sure, vapor production seems about the same so far. I will say it seems to wick better, though that could just be my imagination. Call me crazy, but I also like not getting committed to such a large quantity of juice with each fill up.
