Came home today to a package from Eciggity lol that I had forgot I ordered. Got the Freakshow RDA, and a collab between Eciggity and EHpro tank called Billow. Well Freakshow RDA is really nice, but this is going to be about the Billow. I just happen to pick it up because I liked the way it was built. It was between it or the Orchid by Infinite. The Billows had all Infinite had done with the Orchid and a bunch more changes and upgrades. Like they combined everything one thing you like about the Russian 91%, Kayfun, Orchid and even a Nautilus on how the tank seals all into one. And I think it IS the best RTA I have used to date. First lets start with the presentation. Comes in a nice box with all the goodies you get from everyone else. Two sided screw driver like comes with Kayfun and Russian and a bag of all replacement screws and O rings. And yeah thats a solid glass tank. Then to the Billows itself and look. It says 5ml juice capacity, but I put 3 ml in it to start and I still had what looked like another 3 or more ml left to fill. Dual air flow control! I never thought I'd see a tank with a wide enough bore I could drip into. Now for inside and the build deck. Slightly bigger then the Orchids deck. Also easier to use screws then those dreaded grub screws. Who knows how many hours I have spent finding that hex key tool when I need to rebuild my Orchid. Littile hole going down is the juice fill hole. Wide intake hold for better flavor production. Now for a quick build. I Built it like I would normally build an Orchid but added one more wrap to my coil making it a 7 wrap dual 24 gauge coils. Ok all said and done it's together how does it vape? Best vaping experience I have got from an RTA system. No... let me say that another way, I mean it's Slap you in the face flavor. I used the same juice I used it my Orchid all day today at work. When I took that first hit every note was smoother, cleaner, and richer then the tank I had vaped all day. I may not pick up my Russian 91% again. >.> The Only negative I can give it is that it has a one piece chimney and like the Orchid I would like to see it made into a two piece like the Kayfun and Russian 91%, but it does have a conical top to it's chimney which is a big plus. Link. Billows

Thanks. I was trying one of the new Atlantis sub tanks yesterday and thought man this thing is a pre-made coil and beating my Orchid on flavor and cloud production. Then this thing came to my door. Guess the sub tank can wait a little while more.

Thanks for the review Resnik, and a nice tidy build there too! I too might have to peruse the Chinese vendors for a version of this, all for experimental purposes, you understand!

I'm sure if it's a big hit it will be cloned. Before I posted that thread I never even thought about it being a exclusive to eciggity. Not sure how international shipping would be through them. I'll do some checking around and see if ehpro is doing any other versions of it.

Looks very good, the two air flow screws might be hard to balance, but Resnik almost certainly has them wide open, really like the idea of the shaped air outlets below the coils and a shorter chamber than the Orchid and agree two piece chimney would make it better. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for these. Nice review Resnik.

Air flow is insane with this thing.

Have more leaks with Orchids then the billow. So far its been perfect. More then likely people with leaking issues don't have it built right. Its just about like the orchid but for me better cause of the raised air holes in the deck. I can build my coils higher off the base with out worry of juice slipping by.

Does look cool, just worked out smaller coils closer to my deck on the orchid stops the juice coming out of the air holes. Have a bunch of piecing needles on my way to sort that out. So this is nearly perfect...! This has raised air holes, adjustment and glass,just needs the removal chimney cap. Damm your wire is fat, you one of them cloud chaser guys I read about....
