I've tried it that way but everywhere seems to say you shouldn't place the cotton any lower than that first little shelf?

Where do you guys place the coils in relation to the air flow slots? I place mine so you can just about see the bottom of the coil through the airslots. This is what I was doing and then I read the coils should be directly behind the slots but this makes the draw to tight. Would you mind posting a pic of how you wick yours when you get a chance/if you can be arsed?

Haze Dripper tank clone from Gearbest and an authentic black Aromamizer from FT.

Had mine for a few weeks and I really like it but I can't get really good flavour out of it. Can't get anywhere close my Freakshow mini RDA and even my Subtank seems to taste better. Tried all sorts of builds.

It's interesting how some people still believe they are missing out when it comes to cigarettes. Personally I'm eternally grateful that vaping has saved me from them as they are truly revolting. I followed 2 people who had just finished a fag into a lift the other day and the stench was unbearable.

For what it's worth, according to Steam Engine, to achieve 0.2 with 28g nickel wrapped around a 3mm bit you would need 14 wraps not 12. So not sure about Fast Tech's maths there.

Is this kit new or used?
A mate is potentially interested. A PM maybe coming your way!

I've found the Bellus will leak if there's not enough wick. I sit the wick no lower than that first little shelf. You should hear a click when you put the deck in the tank. The wick also acts as a barrier for leaking. My biggest problem is coil placement. I've read that the coils should be directly behind the AFC slots for best flavour but when I do this I find the draw to tight. If the coils are just above the AFC slots the air flow is great but flavour is pretty bland. No warmth. Just don't get it cause on my Freakshow RDA for example, the airflow is even more open than the Bellus but is rich in flavour. Sometimes I think it's me but it can't be cause the flavour is there when dripping. Also getting better flavour out of my subtank than the Bellus. I know it's the build but I'm stumped regarding the best build as all the ones I've tried aren't hitting the spot. Dual vertical coils in the Aromamizer should hopefully fix all this!

I purchased a UD Bellus, sure it chucks clouds and with flavour but all those holes in the afc ring make it whistle like a 60 a day smoker running up a flight of stairs. the wicking is a pain in the butt the top fill seal pressurises the tank and punishes any less than perfect wicking by emptying the tank through the afc the tank seals, particularly the bottom one, go out of shape too easily I got a Billow at the same time expecting the bellus to be somewhat easier to live with.....wrong. If you can wick a Goblin mini and expect the Bellus to be the answer to its quirky leaks and monotonously dropping the tiny filler screw or its likewise minute 'O' ring....wrong! Buy a Billow V2 Kind of agree about the Bellus. Had one for a while and I do like it but I've never been able to get it to match the flavour of my drippers. I've read loads about how it should match RDA flavour so I'm probably building wrong although I'm following build guides to the letter. Got an Aromamizer on the way with the velocity deck so hoping it's easier to work with.

Depends really. If you want the device to emulate smoking a cigarette (which we call a "mouth to lung" hit) the yes go for the istick/Nautilus combo or if you want to dive in slightly deeper you could get a KangerTech Subox Mini kit. This is slightly more serious and will give you even more vapour but it's really designed to do "direct to lung" hits instead. May sound daunting but just takes a little bit of practice for a big reward.

I did try a nickel build but found it a bit meh. Underwhelming vape even at 350 degrees! My Sig 75 had a fault though and I've sent it back so the TC function could well have not been working properly either. Will try again when my replacement arrives. On the Aromamizer? I get a grate vape at 375 F (191 C) with 100% PG, 415 F (213 C) with 60:40 PG:VG. That was in my Bellus. Also - 100% PG?
