You wont even notice the overhang..cause its the most flavourfull rta..beats my griffin, crius, gemini and rbas.
Billow V3
- Thread starter skola
- Start date
Yup , my griffin 25 and 22 take up almost the same real estate on my cuboid. They tend to taper down the base slightly on these tanks
Hi yagya I was wondering if I had an issues with the v3 leaking lots of guys internationally complained about the leaking issueMy Billow V3 arrived at my door at 10am all the way from NoonClouds...and just ordered the day before.
Build quality i on par with the previous versions for sure. gave it a nice warm bath and all was good.
Threw in 10-wrap stainless double coils at 2.4mm id and was pretty much smiling after the 1st couple of toots..and ..wow..the flavour just was just popping and have never tasted pear&caramel like this.
deff a must have for those flavour chasers.
Hi..I am on the 2nd build and have no issues to date. I build and wick the same way i do the griffin and crius and no issues..not a single leak or sweating. .
I will trade my griffin for another billow V3. lol..bu5 it must be silver.

Hmmmm I loved the v2 and been looking for rta to give me flavour...I was really keen on the v3 till I saw tht about the leaking...
I personally have not had any serious leaking - and that which I have had, I blame on my wicking (wicked it twice in the two weeks I've had it) and leaving it lying flat/upside down. I'm not very careful with my mods and happily throw them into bags etc. That said, in my two whole attempts to wick it, both have worked very well and I don't wick tanks often, so I'd say it's easy to wick.
Airflow I like, but I do run it around 20% open and that is perfect for me, ymmv of course. Flavour is definitely good and I'd like to believe it's that extra side airflow thing. I've not had a chance to compare it directly to a Crius/Griffin but it is definitely better than my Cthulhu V2 (which significantly worse than the Crius last time I tried it) and I'd say that with some juices, it does pretty damn well compared to a good dripper setup.
Biggest issue is that setting the airflow fiddles with the juice flow control and the juice flow control is looser than I'd like. Very easy to inadvertently close it off. Besides this niggle, the overall quality (on mine) is really nice. Good machining, clean threads and it arrived quite clean as well.
Also, the fill hole is nice and big, can easily stick the tip of my glass pipettes in there and fill it up quickly. It also seals very nicely and has not got stuck closed (my two big issues with the Hastur RTA).
If you'd like pictures etc or have other questions, I'd be happy to help.
Thanks @Mike that helps
I'm a big fan of the Billow v2, they've never leaked on me and I love the flavour I get on them. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worthwhile upgrading my fleet (I have 8). I think it's the smoothness of the airflow that I like most about these v2s which was the complete opposite on the Crius v3 which I found very rough and hot regardless of the build I used. I guess I need to get one to try but there is a little voice telling me to look elsewhere. Maybe it's the 23mm base that's putting me off as I use VTC Minis as my daily drivers with a few Picos en route.

I'll send you a pic of mine on the Pico in the morning
(if I remember)If I'm 100% honest, I don't think it'd be worthwhile replacing all 8 unless you get a seriously good deal on them. The Cthulhu2 and Billow2 were damn similar for me, and the difference between this and the Cthulhu2 is not big.
I am still enjoying the V3 (for the flavour) and is in daily rotation with the griffins.
no leaking issues thus far.
It is really hassle free to build, like the crius and griffin and cant understand how reports of leaking came about.
