Personally don't really like mine compared to the Big Baby Beast. All of the coils blow they juice quickly and the 2ml capacity isn't big enough IME.

Also, not a fan of the airflow vs. The BBB.

I would go BBB or even Cloud Beast over the BB every time.

Lots of threads on this which might help....

BreSha6869, The BBB has the same coils as the BB, So they dont go quick on your BBB, too?

When I got my Alien kit it was my first 'True' mod/kit/sub ohm set up and loved the baby beast, it was so airy to me ( even on the tighter v8-t8 coils ) But then I got my girlfriend a Smok Stick V8, that comes with the BBB, and wow, what a difference. So much more airflow and the bigger capacity is a must on these tanks/coils.

I really like the .15 v8-t8 coil and the .2 ohm v8-t6 .. The q2 that came with it was the last I used as most people seemed not to like it, and it would burn out quick, but I didn't mind it much , and it was much more airy than the other 2 coils, with good flavor as well

I can't speak directly to your question as I have never used a Cleito tank. As far as the BB, I concur with @BreSha6869 in opting for the Big Baby over the Baby Beast, although I do like the Baby Beast for trying different flavors.

And on a side note,
I got my girlfriend a Smok Stick V8, that comes with the BBB

I was ready to buy the Stick V8 at my local vape shop recently since it came with the BBB for not much more then just buying the tank. Even though they knew it might cost them a sale, they advised me not to switch from "the stick" to my Alien/G-Priv/Baby Alien without changing out the coils. Something about the coils that perform well on the stick can easily burn out on the other mods and battery life and/or power being insufficient to fire the regular coils. Since I totally trust them (after all, they lost a sale), I opted not to buy one without checking further. Although I will be watching to see if others have any problems switching back and forth.

I use the baby beast at a lower wattage as a flavor tank. I haven't had any issues out of mine, no leaking, and the coils last forever. I haven't used the BBB, so I can't really compare it to that, but I have 2 cloud beasts, and I prefer those over the BB. But I still like my BB, and it's part of my daily rotation.

I have both. I like both. I prefer the BBB for volume. IMO, all these Smok coils guzzle juice. Refilling the BB all the time is a pain. One advantage to the BB is it is 22-23 mm compared to the 25 mm of the BBB, which means a better fit for some smaller mods.

As far as coils, I'm utterly confused by the dozen(s) of variations they offer for these things. I do know I like the flavor on the ones I've tried. The 0.4 ohm that comes with the BB feels like the nicest compromise between performance and HUMMER like juice consumption on some of the other deca/octo/who knows how many coils are in some of them. downside of the BBB over the BB (maybe, it could be the coil and I haven't played with them enough between tanks) the BBB is louder. It also has a stovepipe DT that's a more fitting diameter for a kitchen exhaust. Fortunately they include a decent 510 DT adapter, and was the first thing I changed over to.

The Baby Beast and the Big Baby Beast use the exact same coils and the Baby Beast has a 3ml capacity. The ease of filling makes the size sort of moot for me.

Agreed but big difference in capacity to me and I prefer not to carry around a bottle of juice. Also, I am not a huge fan of the BB airflow. GOOD tank IMO, but the BBB and CB are GREAT tanks. YMMV...

I use one daily at home, but it is only in use as it came with an Alien kit. I have 2 BBB's that I like better. All of the Baby coils are excellent IME and last longer than almost anything else out there (except maybe the CB coils).

Assuming you carry around a bottle of juice with you. I prefer not to for short trips. With the BB I'd be lucky to make the next intersection.

I have 2 BBB tanks and use them daily. They're great tanks, though the coils use juice quickly. I've had leaks, usually due to errors I've made (over filling, topping up when hot, not checking o-rings on the coil). I recently started building the RBAs that came with them, and hope to have a good experience with them.

I recommend the BBB tank to anyone who's looking for a good flavour tank (I keep the airflow almost completely closed) that'll fill a room with a flavoured cloud if they want to.

I don't know in comparison but I just got the big baby beast and love it. It doesn't guzzle as much juice as I was expecting it to but still goes through it's share. From what I've read there is a nice selection of coils. I have the ipower too and that's what I'm using it on, I don't remember what the coil is called but it's 0.2 ohm and I vape it at 50 watts for now and that produces a nice flavor/cloud combo. Imo it's worth getting.

Yes big baby is much better and holds higher wattage coils

I've got a baby beast in my shopping cart awaiting order (along with some juice). Upgrading from the tank that came with my halo reactor mega (eleaf ipower 80w) due mostly to the fact that coils are more readily available.

I've been trying to figure out what coils will offer the most flavor and cloud production out of the BB.

For comparison sake, does anyone have any issues with the mouthpiece being loose on any of the smok tanks? My tip comes off my halo tank too easily, and I've almost lost it at least once

I haven't had any DT problems with the Smok tanks.

I have the Q2 .4 ohm coil in my BB right now, on my 200w Kbox, set at 45 watts, and the flavor is outstanding. It's not the biggest cloud maker though, that's the T8 .15 ohm coil head. I've never had any real problems with mine, except that recently the drip tip has come a little loose a few times. I still prefer the Cloud Beast, but I use my BB daily on my Kbox, and it's not as bad on juice as the CB.
