Right behind you...
And if you're looking for single coil that'd be the only reason to go for a Bellus over an Aromamizer, imo.

Well, that, and a lower price, top fill, a more compact design with 5ml capacity, no ghetto ring, airflow that always lines up with the coils, and is less aesthetically challenged.

I dont think he was, those are legit flaws of the Aromamizer.
Looks are subjective, but the band is fugly to alot of people.
Airholes not lining up with the coils is annoying. Mine do, but it's still a crapshoot.
That was the sarcastic truth in response to ismokeinbinary's post. I have read all of those threads and it's currently why I haven't purchased the other two tanks suggested, and went with the Bellus.

Agreed on both. Straight out of the box, I plugged the two useless side-blowing holes with a tap and set screws, and never even looked at those rubber bands. Cranking up the power to compensate for badly aligned airflow is not a "feature". Coil gunk and muted flavor are all that does for you. My RDTA was only slightly misaligned, but only needed some tightening of the 510 pin which gave my v-deck just enough rotation to make it right.

After fixing its initial problems, it's been the perfect day to day tank... very forgiving on the wicking, but if you don't get the wicking quite right, not a drop is wasted when you need to re-do it.

That said, I prefer the Aromamizer a tad, but I also prefer it with duals or quads and over 50W.
Thats the whole point of that tank, no?
Seriously, if you want mtl, dont buy it. If you want single coil, dont buy it.
I havent had much time with the thing yet, but so far flavor starts to kick in at 50W or more and I'm talking ordinary coils not claptons.
So if you want a tank that runs well at lower Watts.... yeah, dont buy it.

I think I'm just going to go with the Bellus, I like the look of the deck, and the overall look of it.

Also it's cheaper lol

Yes, those were my points in my previous posts to the OP :)

I'll expand on that a bit..... If you use all four intake holes, you're gonna need at least 50W+ to even start to taste your juice, because for the most part you're just wasting it because your airflow ain't right. If you can tolerate using that fugly rubber band they provide, you can plug the two useless holes to optimize your vapor. Right now I'm running dual horizontals (24 ga, 0.7 ohm each, 0.35 ohm overall) in a velocity deck, using only two properly aligned intake holes aiming directly at the coils at around 35W, plenty of flavor compared to what I've gotten from tanks like the Orchid, Evil Eye and Lemos.

I run one of my aromamizers with claptons on my istick 50w every day and I love it. so i don't think that info is accurate.

At what power? Just be careful ecause that capacitor on the board is not up to running in the higher range :( Its possible they've changed it, but not on the 3 I have. When it goes, its a fire or explosion.
