Uwell Crown vs Billow V2 vs Bellus

[macis]

Been looking for a RTA n these three came to mind. can anyone tell me which is the better in terms of flavour?
Also, pls do let know which of the three eat juice like there's no tomorrow?

Here's what i came across about sm of the cons of each tank.

uwell Crown: leaked like a beeee when top filled. dry hit seems to occurs if u don't have a degree in wicking.
Billow V2: no top-fill. no single-coil deck.
Bellus: leaked like a .... beeee when top filled.

I might be wrong, can someone enlighten me?

Never used the Crown or Billow. I have a Billow V2 Nano on order.

My Bellus leaked like crazy out the airflow. There is no knurling on the top and my left hand is messed up and could not get the top right enough to create a vacuum. Some reported leaking some did not.

i've been hearing so much abt the leaking issue with the bellus, especially during top-filling. same thing goes to the crown..

I've experienced flooding with the Bellus when top filling; kinda no way around it, I think. I just fill the Bellus like the Billow V2; gives me a chance to check out the coil and wick at the same.....

Top fill would be great if it didn't force juice into the chamber/deck area. Meh....otherwise, I like this tank fairly well.

Don't own a Crown, so I can say about that one. A bud of mine has the Crown and says he likes it. I don't consider the Bellus or Billow V2 juice hogs, if that helps any.

I've never had even a teeny drop filling the Bellus. I think its a pretty great tank, especially for the price.

So, using the top fill option on the Bellus, when screwing the top cap back on the unit you don't have any juice forced into the chamber by the downward pressure of the top cap?

This fortunate event could be because of your wicking technique. How do you wick the Bellus?

Like @roxynoodle I have had no leaking issues after a few different builds and a half dozen refills. I assume it's a question of wicking technique. Also, contrary to what I thought before getting it, the top fill is designed so practically speaking it doesn't pressurize the tank at all when you tighten it down. I refill with the AFC open, give it a little upside down blow (or not) and it's been fine, gurgle and leak free.

I have Billow 2 as well and prefer Bellus now. Very similar vape, but I like the features and convenience of the Bellus.

Hell, since they're both cloned, get one of each and see for yourself. Both are excellent IMO.

Heck, I only paid $22 with shipping for the Bellus. I'm definitely adding a second one when my vape budget recovers from my diy supply investment . Why not? Its a great vape and quick, easy rewick.

Thx for the link. My issue is most likely too little cotton in the juice channels; just gotta get the wicking technique down for this particular tank, and all will be right.

i wished i can get all three instead of two. my country banned e-cig, so i've to go all my way just to obtained one.

Well, good luck, wherever you are.

I also get no leaking from my Bellus. I don't close the air flow down either. It's too bad UD didn't include any instructions for proper builds

 

[BulletStopper]

Billow V2 - sucked juice. Dual coil only otherwise good tank, just not my cape style. Less air than crown.

Crown - always leaked when top filled. Even on first notch airy. Used the "S" Wick method, no issues.

I'll have to look into this method, give it a try ; I'd like to have the option of top filling the Bellus without juice being forced into the chamber upon reseating the top cap.

The top fill design is such that it vents into the chimney as you screw it down, not into the tank. This is not the source of peoples' leaking problems IMO.

You can still order online and have vaping equipment and supplies sent to your address, correct?

usually we go to our neighbour country to buy mod,tank n juice, ordering online tend to stand a greater chance of having ur item confiscated. accessories such as coils n cotton is ok as long as the item can be use for other purposes.

local black market sky-rocket the price to about 2-2.5times the retail.
