Might want to use a bit more cotton, should be tight enough to have some tension without distorting your coil and thin the tails a little bit as well. Be patient with yourself while learning to wick. I've learned it's not so frustrating if I just laugh and say well damn. Then do it again. Best to rewick until you get it right so you don't juice up your mod too much.

Not stressing at all I just got this to play around with and I am using the juice that I hate lol so it can leak as much as it wants until I figure it out.

One more question flavor sucks big time... Cloud is awesome tho would it be the problem premade coils?

Flavor is subjective. Wick and wire both play a role, as does air flow and drip tip. You want your coils level with your af. The are some good tutorials for wicking the Bellus on youtube. I would recommend you watch several of them with the rta in front of you. Easier for you to learn visually.

That's exactly what I am doing right now :)
But I will replace the cotton and try to squeeze more cotton in there

I think I fixed the leak issue.. I took out the cottons and kind of squeezed more cottons in coils but I cut sides a bit shorter they are half way down not touching base of the deck it looks like it stopped the leak.

And before I think I didn't have enough cotton in coils and had my first dry hit and it definitely not pleasant at all.. My throat still burns

So what now:) just vape until it starts to give burn taste and replace the cotton?
Yep, clean the coil between wickings/when coils get gunky.
I will replace the cotton and try to squeeze more cotton in there
From what I've seen, you want the cotton to fill the wick channels and it doesn't necessarily need to go to the bottom of the deck, ok if it does tho.
You want enough to fill the diameter of the wicking channel [can tool it in there after you juice it] > so that the juice doesn't flow up causing leakage,,,whilst not so packed that it doesn't wick properly and dry hit.

edit: oh, looks like you got it :)

Are you limited to vape shop purchases or can you use online vendors?

That's going to greatly narrow your choices and cost more.

There are so many mod styles and brands,,,, maybe look and see what you can get locally,,,based on your taste and $,,,and post the choices back here? Do they have online inventory? Who are they?

I understand wanting to get a hand feel for amod before purchase but you will pay 20-40% over online prices. What do you like and not like about your Vaperesso so we can narrow down your choices. There are many good mods out these days.

I love revenger. But new mod I am looking for something smaller size than this not too complicated menu.. Basically simply as possible it can get..

Sinuous P80, Primo Mini, Pico 25 (75w), Orbit 80w are a few that come to mind I've heard good things about. All budget friendly online, don't know current shop prices.

For a simple proven but slightly dated little single 18650 mod that I still see on occasion in vape shops, the ipv d3 is a workhorse. There is a newer d4, a little more ergonomic.

Did quick check online. I know OP prefers in person, but eightvape has the ipv d3 listed for 29.99 USD.

Since dual batteries have gotten smaller, I use them for battery life. But my ipv d3 is still fine for the Cleito or Super Tank Mini.

I also have an Innokin Coolfire 100TC with internal lipo battery, that I use with a Baby Beast. The various Innokin mods are simple, well built.

How is Eleaf Pico Dual 200W Kit w/Melo 3 Tank?
I have read about problems with the battery door on the Dual and I am not a fan of the Melo 3 tank.
I have the Pico 75w single battery and use with the Tobeco Super Tank Mini 22mm.
There is also the newer Pico 25, single battery but will accept up to a 25mm tank, Tobeco has a Super tank 25mm size too, that I own and like much more than the Melo tank and the STM are very affordable.
The Tobeco Super tanks will be able to use many different easy to find coils, there is a thread here on compatible coils like the Aspire Triton and Atlantis along with eLeaf Melo coils, and Tobeco all work in this tank.
Single battery affordable mods I own- Pico 75, The Funky Box 60w, Sigelei Minibook 40w, Kanger Nebox and 1 internal battery- the Yosta 60w kit.
I have not used these but the eLeaf iKonn or eLeaf Invoke look like nice inexpensive dual battery mods.
Inexpensive dual battery mods that I own are the Yosta Livepor 160w and the Vapor Storm Puma- both lightweight, work great ,dual battery!
RTAs that I like for no leaking are the OBS Nano and the Geekvape Zeus- easy single coil, more forgiving in wicking. The Geekvape Blitzen looks like another great leak resistant tank and I will probably purchase next!
I have the OBS Crius ll RTA that can leak if not wicked right, but awesome tank, love mine.
My favorite RDTAs are the Ample Pixys, they have the Skelly too- very easy to use, leak resistant and can work on the deck without taking the whole tank apart.

Thanks for all informations!

So far Bellus stopped leaking, clouds and flavor is pretty good actually I really liked it.

Second mod probably I will get Pico 25 or geekvape aegis, haven't decided yet which one to get.

I will get some cottons and wires today and play around with coils and wicks

I, like it lol. 2 battery, not too big, ergonomic, nice big screen with some color. Joyeteck is mainstream and been around for a long time.
I think your tanks will look good on there. Personally I'd pick up a diff drip tip or 2 for the Bellus, to shorten it a bit-but that's me.

Show us your new set ups when you can !
 
I would recommend the clieto 120 then get the RBA deck comes with a good set of prebuilt coils in it so all you’d have to do is put some cotton in it I was just like you wanted nothing to do with building coils now I’d never go back it’s very easy to wick the coils and you’ll be very satisfied and you can also get the expansion glass/ fatty glass for the 120. Just my opinion hope it helps

Thanks so far no issues didn't have time to play around with menu and settings yet but I like it.

And 5th day on crown 3 with 0.25 coil still on. Flavor and cloud are still awesome!

hmmm...wonder if the 510 is connecting like it should. It's adjustable on some tanks, but I've never done it.

I have searched and it is a common problem for this mod with rta tanks once pin gets pushed down it won't come back up... Stupid design... That's all. I will be replacing it with different mod

Try to gently pull the 510 pin on mod up with a tiny flat head screwdriver. Works on the istick mods, might work for this one too. Make sure the mod is turned off.

One odd question these squonk mods can be used with subohm tanks or it has to be rda/RDTA?
If you put a sub ohm tank on top it would be pointless as you wouldn't be able to sqounk.
A sqounk mod relies on an RDA that has a sqounk pin.
You squeeze the bottle and it pushes liquid into the RDA.
I like to use sqounk mods when on travels as it means I don't have to drip.

There are a couple of RDTAs that are squonk compatible. The Cthulhu Gaia is pretty good and I hear you can get a pin for the Pindad. There are a couple of others, a Google search should pop them up.

And I know what you mean. I have a green/black revenger and nothing match it. I'm not keen on the NRG tank that comes with it
