Really wanna get a Bellus but can't decide between it and the Goblin mini since I've wanted a Goblin mini for some time now..
Do it, and get both
Hi @remydpHi guys
I bought myself a Bellus a couple days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. The only problem I'm having is the leaking issue. The first time I filled it it didn't leak at all but the 2nd and 3rd times it did :/
The 3rd time I filled it I managed to have no juice leak out of the air holes, however the weird thing is juice leaked out of the mouth piece when I turned it upside down (before opening the air holes). I can swear I didn't accidentally get any juice down the channel when filling it. Does this happen to you guys as well or does it only leak out of the air holes?
Thanks!
Hi @remydp
I've been experimenting with different scenarios while filling this tank and had the following experiences:
Air holes open while filling = leaking through air holes
Turning tank upside down before opening air holes = leaking through mouth piece
Inhaling on tank, with air holes closed, before firing mod = leaking through air holes
The most consistent method I found to prevent leaks is simply to make sure that the bottom ring is tight and the air holes are closed. Before opening the air holes also make sure that the top part is tight.
Also, I found that if you fill it all the way to the top then there's a little leaking but not so much. Hope this helps.
Hi @remydpThanks @AnArKi,
I thought I was doing something really wrong since it was coming through the mouth piece. I'll try filling it to the brim next time, hopefully that will reduce the leaking.
The first time I filled it and it didn't leak I was using juice in a little squeeze bottle so I filled the tank relatively quickly. The subsequent fills I was using a juice with a dripper glass (not sure of the correct terminology). Perhaps the speed at which it fills makes a difference?
Thanks for the tip!
Hi @remydp
I meant to say don't fill it all the way to the top otherwise there will be a little leaking. I think it's got to something to do with the pressure. Strangely enough I've had a similar experience wrt squeeze bottles and droppers (?).
Can someone please post a pic of their wicking ? Im getting top flavour and minimal leakage but i can't get it to stop crackling.
99.9% of all my vaping is straight lung hits and I find the air flow on the Bellus just a little to restrictive. Has anyone drilled the airflow holes bigger and did it improve the airflow?
OMG I dropped it now it says atomizer too low
You've got a full short where you dinged the outer threaded rim up against the center positive battery contact.
Perhaps pulling out the center pin and skillfully levering with a screwdriver shaft against the dent might help panelbeat it back into shape.
Fortunately your protected mod is telling you something is wrong, if you'd had a mechanical mod it would have kept on firing into a dead short.
PS. A voltmeter on the resistance scale will also help to see if you've fixed it, there should be no reading between the outer shell and center pin with no coil attached.
Great photos @blujeenz, those close up macro shots really show off the detail on that insect leg in the last picMy Bellus rewick using the sushi roll method. Im running it on an Itaste SVD using one coil of a 2.5mm ID. I use the blanking plug in the kit.
I use a 30mm long x 7mm wide strip of japanese KGD, fibers running in the length of the cotton.
Juice tastes even better when the cotton was a free gift.

Roll the cotton and pull it through, it should overfill the vertical juice channels. Next I cut the cotton ends at a 45deg angle like you'd do to a plant stem. The longer fibers touch the deck surface at the back, the shorters ones are at the front. My reasoning is that the exposed fiber area to the juice is much larger than if just trimmed level and floating 2mm above the deck.
Now once you've pre-juiced the cotton and slid the bell cap back down it tends to fluff out the ends into the juice well like in the below pic.

Heres a closer look at the cotton action. I'd pulled of the cap for pics after puffing through a tank.
I dont get any crackle/pop like previously, although that wick was on the loose side, however it has a tasty sizzling sound and best of all no dribbling juice through the air port.
