Billow v2
- Thread starter Robert B
- Start date
Some interesting design changes there. 
Hiya. Tank assembly stays together, unscrew from the base.
Same ole. Tuning a Sliverplay build tonight. It's okay. Not up to my recent Orchids though.
You ordered the Billow 2? Trusting soul. Still into your red hots I imagine.
I removed the bottom air screws and plugged them with epoxy
I should really do the same but I lack the ambition!
Ordered as well. That's to avoid the Goliath's problem. Fine tuned wick jobs come apart when the tank/chimney is unscrewed. The inner chamber wall will keep things tidy!
Makes sense. I don't have that problem with my Aqua V2, but it has real deep juice channels.

Had the Goliath for a few days and I'm loving it but it seems like I'll always be messing with the wicks every refill
My thoughts too. I use my V1 Billow like a clearo, i screw off the base and then just dump my juice in. And now they made it even easier! Looks like a winner.
looks like they fixed all the issues that the v1 has. I'm hoping the v1 nano kit will work on the v2, or they sell a v2 nano kit. Hear that eciggity/ehpro?

Nothing wrong with my V1 apart from a little seepage thru the airholes when I re-fill, and that's only happening occasionally, air flow control I never use it, for me the V1 is easily the most flavorful tank around, I'm worried if they mess around with the design too much it will all go tits up, I won't be pre-ordering one until the verdicts in

It's a beast! Very happy with it so far. We both have a dual parallel build 26ga 16 wrap on 2.5mm. Thing chucks the clouds at whatever wattage you throw at it (up to 100w so far). 5ml capacity, easy fill. I don't see leaking being an issue. Rocking 95% VG at very high wattage is not an issue.
This tank is a damn beast! I made some 85% VG custard and its rocking it no problem with dual 26 gauge .34 ohms up to 70 watts (highest power I have is the IPV mini 2). So overall I'm very impressed with the Billow v2. I went through 3 tanks so far since I got it early yesterday and have had zero leaking issues, and the fill method is stupid easy which is a big plus. Not to mention being able to fiddlefuck with coils/wick without having to drain the tank, huuuge plus! Pretty much ended the lives of my orchids and billow v1.
The only minor issue I had were the post screws cutting my wire pretty easily, pretty standard issue it seems and not that big of a deal. Just thought it was worth a mention.

pre-orders are up in the UK - Angelfiremods
So far so good anyways, I keep mine pretty much upright all the time. I'd imagine it would drain if left on its side like most RTA's when they lose their vacuum. I don't really feel like testing that theory tho lol!
Can't hardly believe there hasn't been any more comments about this tank. Its been almost 2 weeks and I have yet to find any problems. The V2 is so easy to build on and as far as I can tell is completely leak free. I still haven't tried laying it on its side though.
I highly recommend this tank to anyone that's sick of modding thier orchids or whatever, the airflow is awesome, flavor is great, deck is easy to build on, tank capacity is nice... I could go on and on but I will leave it at that. Do yourselves a favor and get one of these!! Or 2 or 3....

Ok, forget the fiddly stuff of the v1 (filling, leaking, afc, etc), how does it vape compared to the v1 or any other rda or rta you own?
Vapes much better than the V1, more airflow first of all. Wider juice channels as well. Comes with the wide bore drip tip and as far as vape quality it's very close to an RDA. Handles higher wattages than I could use with the V1 if you're into that sort of thing. Personally I run at 50w but it can handle much more.
I have a hard time comparing it to any of my other RTA's, I have a few Orchid V4's and of course the Billow V1 and lets put it this way, they haven't even been used since I've received the V2.

This'n is a keeper. First build I was concerned. I made some coils on 3mm center and somehow managed to get'm up and running. But, that didn't leave enough room for airflow so the vape suffered. But with coils on 2mm centers ... she's the best I've had in a tank. Kills me that the premades supplied were wound on 3mm centers ... sorta led me down a perilous path with those supplied coils, but I found my way to smaller coils and Billow Bliss.
Now I want two more in black.

I've got dual parallel 26ga 16 wraps, 2.5mm center. Ohms out at 0.28, wicks touching the bottom of the large juice wells but not into the small ones. It's very good, enough to put the billow 1 down for a while, but not rediculous. What's the specs for your build?

Just got mine, did a quick 8wrap 2.5mm 26g build. Wicked it just like I wick the aqua 2, thick shoulders and skinny legs.
No issues do far, keeping up at 48w. Will try a more Artful build tomorrow.
Putting out great, great flavor, good vapor. My only dislike are the tiny ass piddly post screws, but ill get over it. Hahaha

Well now she's got dual 8 wraps on 2.5 26g Ti at .18ohms. She's looking good mated with my Evic VT.

Your a bad influence on me bro. In a good way, of course!It's a beast! Very happy with it so far. We both have a dual parallel build 26ga 16 wrap on 2.5mm.

Did my first build on the Billow v2 last night, just used the .6ohm coils that came with it.
I have zero leaking, but over like 40 watts, got a little burny. Think I'll pull it apart and rewick, I have the wick a tiny bit too thick maybe, and I've seen pics of NOT running wick into juice channels, rather, wet it and make sure to cover where the juice will come IN, so it has a larger contact point with the wick itself. Looks like that'd wick way better!
Tastewise, not sure it's as good as my crown, but i'm just starting to mess with it so that may change.
Build-wise, this is one sharp and well built tank!

Try a .3 or .4 set of dual coils. I don't have the v2 yet, but the v1 works really well for me flavor wise, in that range.. I will get the v2 when eciggity has their annual 30% off black friday sale
was just going to say something similar. I've gotten excellent results using 24g kanthal, 2.5mm ID @.3
