Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Bellus is a beautiful double coil atomizer very “vaporous” thanks to these 32 (16 X 2) small air flow holes, it knows how to metamorphose into a classic single coil atomizer a little less airy. It is possible to access your assembly without emptying the tank which can contain up to 5ml of liquid. ”
The innovation of this atomizer lies in the chimney and the drip-tip, where is engraved inside, a spiral which makes it possible to avoid / slow down the formation of the fine droplets of condensation which one feels on lips when the we vape. In addition, the flavors are perfectly restored with this atomizer.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

With a length of 48mm (without connection and without drip-tip), the Bellus is very compact knowing that in addition, its capacity is really 5ml and its weight of 58 gr I place it among the lightest atomizers of this guy.
Apart from the pine which is made of brass and the pyrex tank, the main material composing this atomizer is stainless steel. The machining of the parts is perfect and it does not mark fingerprints. Under the atomizer, Youde's engravings are correctly made but not exceptional.
The threads are screwed very well, I found no fault. For the joints it is the same, they ensure a perfect seal, however the two red joints on both sides of the tank are really very thin

Reviewer's comments on functional features

This Bellus allows you to vape in double coil on great powers since the air flow and the arrival of the liquid allow it, but it can also restrict these possibilities by placing on the plate a chamber reducer which inhibits part of the plate and changes this double coil atomizer into single coil, so you can vape on more modest powers, less greedy in quantity consumed.
It has a double air flow on each side of its base, each equipped with 16 holes that can be progressively closed / opened by turning the ring.
The filling is extremely practical and large enough with these two 3mm diameter holes not to put any next to it. To fill your tank, you will need 5ml of juice.
The most innovative feature on this Bellus is the spiral that is engraved on the inside of the chimney and drip-tip on this atomizer. This allows each suction to attach to the engraved walls, the tiny condensed vapor droplets. An effective system that does not retain the lift of juice in case of surplus.
The pin is made of brass and offers good conductivity, it is adjustable through a screw.
This atomizer very correctly restores flavors such as hit and vapor can, depending on your assembly, offer a wonderful density.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The stainless steel drip-tip looks quite ordinary in a medium-sized format, however it has a particularity, it is to be engraved in a spiral inside. Original and practical, the liquid droplets that attach to the walls of this drip-tip are not sucked. It is a well-machined accessory, perfectly suited to its function, which I particularly appreciated for this type of product.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A generously complete package with an additional tank, a chamber reducer, a seal kit with replacement screws, pre-mounted resistors and a UD cotton pad.
For the manual, it is not strictly speaking, succinct explanations plated on the bottom of the transparent plastic box, embellished with some explanatory drawings. Everything is in English but understandable by a non-English speaker.
A correct packaging for an average price range.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Using the Bellus remains fairly simple. With a plate large enough to develop a double coil assembly, in this configuration, you will have only one stud for two legs.It is important to build resistors to obtain a value in sub-ohm in order to avoid the risks of leaks. Because as a result of the large channels machined on the plate, you have a significant flow of liquid which needs to be consumed at high powers (above 35 Watts).
On the other hand, the chamber reducer reduces this consumption by half and therefore allows a conventional assembly with a single resistor with a value of approximately 1Ω, without fear of leakage.

On this atomizer, the filling is certainly practical and generous from the top of the atomizer through a top cap in two parts which simply unscrews. The air flow is quite efficient with these 16 holes on each side and it can be reduced by turning a ring. But I regret that this ring moves too easily.
The brass pin ensures good contact via its adjustable brass screw.
The two main parts, the base with the plate and the body of the atomizer with the tank, simply fit together by making the notches provided for it coincide. Then just screw the retaining ring which fixes the base on the body. This operation is very easy to carry out but it seemed to me to be restrictive during the assembly / verification, I however relativize this constraint because once your coil is finished, you will not have like me the obligation to manufacture another one. 1/4 after to perform tests.
Inside the chimney and the drip tip, the spiral machining seemed effective to me to drain the droplets in the heating chamber, thus avoiding the accumulation of the liquid inside the drip tip which often lands in the mouth.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

This atomizer allows many types of assemblies. A double coil in Kanthal, nickel, titanium or in stainless steel, the total value of your resistance must be below 0.7Ω with a good power, under penalty of risking clogging, however the flavors are excellent and the vapor produced very dense. It is also possible to make different assemblies in single coil, by just putting the reducer supplied with the Bellus, to obtain a more classic atomizer, with a slightly less bulky vapor and by lowering the power value without risk of gurgling.

For my tests I made many assemblies and the only criticism I can make with the Bellus is to have to remove the atomizer from my mod systematically after having made my assembly, to put back the retaining ring in order to fix the two parties, I found that unpleasant.
But undeniably it is a good RTA atomizer that I do not recommend to beginners, because its vape is very airy and requires an assembly adapted mainly to high powers. It is also a great consumer of liquids.
