So I built it and wicked it. I gotta say - very nice warm vape on the Bellus.
I have a 2.5mm 24g .3 dual coil build in it - the same build I have in my Aromamizer. Definitely a warmer vape on the Bellus (which is what I prefer.)
Seems to be wicking fine, but I'm not sure yet. I've wicked it twice, the first time I think I used too much cotton and got a few burnt hits. I'm still evaluating this current method im using to wick it.
For those of you that have an Aromamizer, it's a more restrictive vape off the Bellus wide open versus the Aromamizer wide open, all 4 holes. Maybe I have too much cotton in there killing some airflow, but I doubt it would make much more of a difference honestly.
Vapor production is better than the Goliath v2 (if I recall correctly, I destroyed my beta version so I can't use it as a reference) but is not even remotely close to the Aromamizer with all 4 holes open.
Current cons -
1) No question, the top-fill cap. If you screw it down all the way, you'll have to freeze it like I did to get it off. If it gets stuck, you'll go to twist it off and you'll end up unscrewing the chimney from the base and get a huge mess. And since the the top-fill cap is so small, it's hard to get your fingers around it (I don't have huge hands, either.) Maybe the threads just need to be worn in a bit, but time'll tell.
2) the airflow. If you look at the pics and the way they market this rta, they claim its 32 holes total. It is. But when you remove the airflow ring, the actual airholes that hit the coils are MUCH smaller. Kind of deceiving, IMO. I'll put up a pic of what I mean.
If this thing can keep up with the wicking (or if I can figure out the way to do it properly lol) it could beat the Aromamizer (for me and the way I vape.) I'll keep you guys posted. If you guys have any question, please, feel free.

Much appreciated comments @Petabread. The top fill situation concerns me. 
I had a similar issue with the Goliath v2 beta - it was apparently fixed in the final version. I'm going to write to UD and let them know so they can hopefully get it sorted out. I also just might need to wear the threads in a bit. I wouldn't be too concerned just yet!Much appreciated comments @Petabread. The top fill situation concerns me.
Looks like the Goliath V1. What in the hell is Youde thinking !? That just ruined it for me. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if that could be opened up at all and still keep up with the wicking. It looks like it would be a quick n easy mod to open the direct coil airflow up a bit.
Me too, the Zephyrus when wicked properly is a really great tank. I'd almost call it perfect if it weren't for that little rubber piece that seals the fill port. I dropped that thing one day and holy crap it took FOREVER to find.
This bellus looks really interesting though. If the price is right, I may pull the trigger
Far superior to the Goliath v1, IMO. It's wicking better than my Gv1, the flavor is better and building on it is easier. Feels more open than the Gv1, too. But I do want Youde to open up that airflow a bit. I think this is what the Goliath v2 should've been.
Bare in mind, this is a beta - the final version could certainly be different. I think it's important to note that. There's definitely enough room on this to where they could decide to make the internal airflow holes larger, as the airflow ring could without a doubt handle it. Hell, if I had the tools and the know-how, I'd do it myself lol.
That's something I like about this - the rubber seal is built into the top-fill cap. It's removable, but it's built-in now.
Is there enough room for 3 mm coils? That's why I love the Goliath V2 the most.
I found a video of it. I want one now.
Anyone know if they are for sale anywhere yet in America?
(besides fasttech or overseas)

I really think so. I built the Bellus with 2.5mm coils just because that's the same build I have in my Aromamizer, and I wanted to directly compare the vape off the two equally. I'd normally use 3mm like I did in the one week I had the Gv2.
I saw the Bellus at Fasttech the other day snooping around looking at GMini and Kayfun parts.
Awesome help on the screws(NeuReleases). Will get some on eBay. So glass/tank seals will probaly have to be ordered thru youde. I found one of new purchases missing chunks on the lip of the seal. But I had put it together dry, so not sure if it stuck to the glass when removing. As far as the Goliath v2. It's a good atty as I see it. Just not as flavor producing as the g. mini. The clones from fastech are not to bad. For the cost it may be worth looking into. The authentics to me are a tad better both for build and flavor. This is my thoughts only. So to each his own. Now going with the Aqua 2 build soon today, just too busy with other things to spend time right now.
Should be an easy mod. 10 mins and a round needle file will get those airflow holes opened right up, even faster if you've got a dremel
Glad I could help dave!

Let me know how the Allen screws go.
I have the Gmini clone. Vchick has both the authentic and fasttech clone. At some point she said the clone was winning. Don't know if she was talking about flavor, easy to build or not leaking.
