Went for 8 wraps of 24g around 2mm and have wicked it like this -



This how you do it?

Pretty good at 50w. Still not as rich in flavour as dripping but this build being 0.3 it may be a bit under powered. Will have to reserve judgement until my replacement Sig 75 arrives and I'll see how she vapes at 60w+.

What resistance/power do you vape at out of interest?

.3/.4ohm - 45/55W

And yeah it's not on par with a good dripper but it's up there for tanks.

It's interesting though cause I've read lots of forum posts saying it does match RDA flavour. I know it's all subjective but I can't help feel like I'm just not getting the best of out of it. Unsure! Really looking forward to my Aromamizer arriving so I can compare.

Personally i think the flavour on the Bellus is better than the Aromamizer, it's close but i think the Bellus edges it.
You can get a more airy draw from the Aromamizer though.

With all four air holes open on the Aromamizer you don't have the air directly in line with the coils and that indirect airflow for me kills the flavour somewhat, it does allow you to dump more power in and keep the vape cooler but it results in flavour loss.
I prefer to use it with the 2 hole AFC band and line the 2 open holes up in line with the coils, again with the air flowing under the coils similar to the Bellus setup but a little more airy.

Had a Bellus for a few days this week and it's very cloud. The flavour is lacking, this being a single coil nickel build @ 0.18 ohms on a DNA40, but it performs well, is consistent in that the resistance doesn't bounce around, though that's more an indication of a good coiling on my part (which is very variable). The black model looks peachy on a black evic VT, though it's on the DNA40 now because the evic has gone all mental in the electronic head (again). "0.18 ohms? Must be kanthal! I'm switching to watts!" Stupid thing.
