fogger help please !!! those of you who got this working right plz chime in !

[rogergendron1]

ok ok so i am not new to rba's by any means ! i can set up any rda with my eyes closed using an size or kind wire and any wick you choose ! and get it near perfect !

well knowing that you would think i could set up the fogger V3 right ?


well here are the issues i have with the fogger....

#1 the posts are too close to the bowl and the bowl can not be removed ! this makes attaching your coil difficult ! epecially when you have medical issues that cause your hands to shake !!!! why did they not make it so the bowls wll unscrews allowing acsess to the post and deck ? this is almost a deal breaker right here i dont want to mess around inside that bowl with tweezers trying to attach my coil ! worst of all one of the posts is loosly pressed into silicon and spins when tightened making it impossable to tighten all the way !!!

#2 no matter how perfect i make a coil no matter what type of wick i use and no matter what ohms i set the coil ..... it just does not want to vape right .... i can not explin this one for the life of me !!! i have built perfect coils in this thing and set up the wick perfectly in the channel and it just does not tase or vape the way it should, i even tried chiminey coils with cotton beds stil nothing good came of it...

#3 no matter what you do if you fill it more than half way the tank floods out the air holes !!!!!!!! dont care what you do lol fill it slow fill it fast even remove the top and the fill screw from the top and fill the tank with out the top on then thread on the top without the fill screw so there is no preasure then once together put in the fill screw and go to take a puff and BLAMMMMMM e juce all over the mod !!!

#4 i washed this thing 100 times and i am running halo tribeca and HHV heavanly tobaco and for some reson all i taste is cheap peach ring candy flavor !!!!!!! W.T.F.........

i dont want to waste my money here some one help me with this lol

micro coils standard coils silica mesh cotton i have tried them all in a hundred configurations and its the same thin every time ... as soon as i fill it more than half way it leaks out to half a tank, then finaly the gurgle goes away and i can vape but lo and behold the vape quality is terrable and i get old school carto type flavor from it ! shortly after it floods again (no matter how much wick i use) and i give up take it appart and start over with another build ! i have been doing this for days !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rogergendron1]

ohh yeh and i have been having the off and on shorting issue with the positive post ! its a real bummer when you build a perfect coil finaly get it to work for 30 min and suddenly it stopps working ???? W.T.F !!!!!!!! now you have to dump out expencive e juice and fix the pos post short by removing the entire base !!! i am realy getting tired of this thing !!!!


i am about to trade it to someone for a 22mm dripper or an igo w .....

 

[rogergendron1]

the best rda i ever used was a oddy terminator small size ... it was the one with only the ceramic cup and a juice well no tank strictly a dripper with a big well, as far as i am concerned nothing i have ever used comes close to that !!!

I feel your pain! I have been doing about the same things as you mentioned. I am not going to give up. I will make at least one setup that lasts at least one tank FULL before I shelve it. Good luck to you.

 

[Gimpy1261]

Loop a piece of 3mm silica wrap 5 times around with 28ga, put wick and coil in the channels attach pos and neg ends of coils to posts, I know that last part can be a tough one, then snip off wick leaving just about 2mm sticking out of juice channels. Check you ohms if it is in you tolerances fill and vape. 5 wraps 28ga. For me results in 1.4 ohms. YMMV. Again GOOD LUCK

I got my dad's fogger working OK with a vertical dragon coil, but it wasn't great. It's too fine of a line between flooding and dry hits. I just gave up on it.

Search fogger v2 best build pics or my name I made a post and contributed to another, I find that making a carto tank out of it is the best easiest way, use ecowool to go thru the coil and cotton around it to absorb n saturate the ecowool.

When you get it working it will be the best vape you've had. It's just a bit tough to get right, also close the afc while your filling, seal, then open afc, a lot of time that will get you right of the bat if your not paying attention to that.

 

[Thrasher]

check todds review of the V3 he got a pretty good setup going, maybe try that version.

Two issues with separate circumstantial causes:

1. Flooding or insufficient wicking (dry hits) upon initial setup and fill
Fix: if you are using cotton as your wick, less is more. Make your wick less tightly compressed and somewhat wispy. Also, the cotton should only just barely enter the wick channels from the inside deck area. If your coil has a larger inner diameter than the wick slot, such that your cotton is too big for the slot, I recommend slicing the wick in half widthwise and tucking the top half back inside the deck against/around/under the wick channels. Then trim the bottom half up to the outside edge of the deck and stuff it nearly all the way inside after you've primed it and screwed on the chimney. Silica wicks should be allowed to rest inside the channels as they do not swell up nearly as much as cotton when wetted.

2. Flooding upon re-fill.
Fix: Close the AFC ring completely before unscrewing the fill screw. This tends to keep enough positive pressure inside the center bottom air shaft so that when you push juice into the tank, that juice-push will force the inside air out up through the chimney or up through the fill hole and not down into the center pin. The remaining air pressure (and a little bit of friction, I suppose) inside your center pin is the only thing opposing gravity, keeping juice from flowing down and out through the airways.

For the electrical shorting issue: If you have the same version of the V3 that I have, the manufacturer has fixed the design issue that was inherently responsible for electrical shorting in the V2. However, the small 510 screw can still make contact with the inside of the 510 stem so it is a good idea to stuff one of the small extra O-rings up under that screw head. Of course your coil can short if its touching anything metal inside the deck.

As an aside to any of the other V2 veterans reading this: I pretty much destroyed my V3 trying to get the deck apart, because in this new version there's glue (or Loctite) in the threads. But that's how I know that the inner-plate-leaning-making-contact-with-the-bottom-of-the-deck issue has been remedied.

One other thing: Halo juice is very thin. In my experience it will flood just about any device.

Also you don't want to close off the fill hole while your filling, I don't know how to explain this.... You need to let air come out of the fill hole as you put juice in, don't let your juice bottle sit flush against the hole or it will force juice out the afc. That's why most ppl full with a needle or needle bottle. I remove the fill screw, then the top piece it screws into, fill right into tank replace top, wo fill screw, then put fill screw back in.

i do this every time and it still floods above half way !!

tried the carto tank set up too...

i used a 3mm silica wick with a 5 wrap of 28 g and then stuffed the sides with cotton, i tried a vertica hollow coil with strait cotton too and bolth vaped for a little bit then flodded....

 

[rogergendron1]

this thing is causing me a ton af agerivation lol i am srsly wanting to trade it for an igo w or something !

I've built mine exactly like Rip Tripper in his latest Fogger v3 video (will provide a link in a min). I also removed the oring he did in the video. My Fogger v3 has been AWESOME. don't part with it until you try watching that video....brb with link

I did riptrippers build. I don't think he came up with it, I think it was someone in the UK going by pooh. But the vapor and flavor wasn't that good. And I'd get dry hits ever 3rd pull. If I let it sit a few seconds it'll flood a little and I'll have to deal with gurgling until I get my surprise dry hit.

 

[keenanmcfar]

I haven't had my v2 for long but I've done a lot of reading and have gotten mine to work consistently.
Heres how: i made a 3 wrap (yes this thing keeps up with ultra low ohms) 28 Guage nichrome coil positioned horizontally. I used a bit more cotton ball than id normally put in a coil that size and made sure the piece i used was extra long, too.
Instead of putting the wick through the channels i folded it back on itself and packed it TIGHT against the channels, only entering them with one mm or less of cotton. The additional cotton was folded back to touch the coil on one side and on the other side was just stuffed some more up against the channel and bell wall so air had a path through.
It seems the important factor is to make it very tight at the channels but dont put with through.
Also, make sure there is plenty of material over and around the channels, too.

Occasionally I'll have to take a dry pull with this build to get it started but there is no flooding and dry hits are easily fixed.

Also, it sounds like you may have some leaking through the threads on the bell. Try really cranking it down. This is by far my favorite atty now, i hope it ends up working for everyone else too!
