This is just my opinion, but the Fogger V4 is going to flounder on an MVP, especially for the resistance you are asking about.

To run it in dual coils, achieving a total resistance of 1.8Ω, you'd need two coils with an individual resistance of 3.6Ω. On an MVP, best case scenario is somewhere around 5 watts to each coil......I'm not sure it would actually make vapor.

You'd be better off shooting for a total resistance around 1Ω (2 coils at 2Ω each) and even then, the current limitation of the MVP is going to limit it's performance.

agreed with above, the fogger is more attuned to lower resistances which is not in the mvp's range. not saying you cant do it, im sure with some really thin gauge wire it could be done, but imo dual coil attys shine much lower then 1.8Ω. either stick to a single coil atty or get another mod, or like I said try 32g, maybe a micro coil at 1.8 to 2.0mm in diameter. each coil ohmed to 3.6 and see what happens.

Should I ditch the idea of the fogger and just get something like the nautilus?
And if I were to get a different mod, what should I look at?
Well the nautilus is a very good tank and great with your current mod but the fogger with the right set up is a much better vape. The nautilus would be an easy, right out of the box kind of vape, while the fogger, or any kind of rebuildable has a learning curve. 2 completely different animals for sure. When I hear you say which of the two you should get, makes me think you don't know what your getting into with a dual coil tank. I mean sometimes you just need to jump right into something to learn, but dual coils can be tricky. If a rebuildable is what you really want then a good kayfun clone is your best bet unless you like drippers. About buying a mod for the fogger, a unregulated mod is one option or a dna regulated, both have the power. But an unregulated mod is also something that requires a good understanding of ohms law because there is no safety protection. Good luck

I have the mvp v2 and I am going to order the fogger v4. I would like to know how I can get about 1.8 ohms on the dual coil setup in the fogger. Thanks!
For a rebuildable on a MVP I would suggest the Kayfun lite plus or one of its clones. If you want to do dripping, the igow with drilled out 1/16" holes is also pretty decent on the mvp, but with either one, single coil is really the only option. I used the kfl+ EHPro clone on my mvp for months (until I recently got my first mech), it's a little hard when you first start building on it, but you figure it out quick. Also, I've never used a nautilus, but I've heard great things about it, especially with the new bottom vertical coils.

If you or a friend can drill it out, the 14.xx dollar kayfun clone from FT is a good bet. It's the one with the ugly logo. The stock air hole is only ~1.2 mm though so it needs to be drilled to 1/16th or 5/64th.

I drilled one of these out to 2mm and then put a little chamfer on the hole to kill any whistling.

Great piece for the money! Nice machining and finish.

On mine, the hole in the center pin is very slightly bigger than in my two other tobeco clones. However, the draw seems perfect for my 1.1 to 1.2 ohm microcoil builds on both models after drilling to 5/64th.

I've also read that a little polishing can remove the logo if desired.

I have used a fogger v4 on a MVP2. Used AW32 wire. Dual coils with 7 wraps on a 2mm bit. Came out to 1.5ohms and it vaped just fine on the MVP. If you are just starting out with RBAs, I agree with everyone else that you should stay away from dual coils until you are comfortable with single coils. Kayfun is the way to go although I have a hard time seeing a newbie start drilling out RBAs. I don't think that is very good advice.
