Fogger V2...WOW

[zipflint]

The diameter of the screwdriver that I'm wrapping around is 3mm. But my problem is that what I wind up with is, essentially, just a little slinky. NOT a tight sorta....cylinder. I'm just doin' it wrong. Probably in lots of ways that I'm not even realizing. It happens. I'll just keep at it and eventually something will click.

Or snap. Or pop. Who knows?

Is that a typo? You are getting measured 5 to 7 ohm coils with 30AWG Kanthal wrapped 7-9 times? That would require a diameter of about 1/4 inch.

Question for the guys who were able to get the bottom of the atty apart. (I've been trying all afternoon - Loctite isnt my friend) Does the rubber insulator around the air flow hole in the atty come off?

I am mainly trying to reduce the height of the insulator inside the atty, so that I can get the coil closer to hole with out burning rubber. I know that raised part is to minimize juice going back into the airhole, but I have a plan for that.

The insulator comes out from the top and has a raised lip around the edge. One of mine wasn't seated and was almost touching the coil, just pushed it back in with a screwdriver, good to go. YMMV

Received my fogger today. Ripped the coil it came with out and put in a micro-coil, 28g 9 wrap that came to 1 ohm and put in my cotton. Looks like this..



Works like a champ! Only thing I find odd is that there is no insulator where the base meets the airhole. If it starts acting up I'll have to find a fix.

Zipflint,

When making the micro coil:
Wrap around your chosen diameter drill bit/screwdriver or whatever you may be using.
Note: You must have the wire as tight as possible and pull it towards the already wrapped wire.
Once the coil is built, you then need to slide it off of the wrapping device
Then gently squeeze it in a pair of needle nose pliers and heat the coil with a torch until the coil wire it is red hot.
Let the coil cool
Then repeat the heating process a few times while keeping the coil gently squeezed.

This should take care of the springiness of your wire.

Y'know what? I finally did it right. I used 28 gauge wire, about 7 or 8 wraps.
This time I did the torch-cool-torch thing 4 times, and it finally DID stay together.
I've got it in my cheapo Nimbus clone right now, with a cotton ball wick.

1.1Ohm. Still takes about 2 seconds to fully heat up, but it starts at the middle and works
its way to the outer edges. So I guess I did it right!

Thanks heaps for the input, everyone!

if you look back a bit you will see where the base can be screwed apart to pull that center air tube out, just use a little heatshrink around the tube to keep it insulated and it should be just fine.

No prob guys...Almost pulled the trigger on it but want to hear a little more from the community first on this atty.

I'll certainly report back my findings ... Todd's review was pretty good as a first step ... he mentions the o-ring trick too (which is probably how they should manufacture it)

Need some help guys. I get this thing working like a charm until I fill it. When I fill it the pressure drives juice in and floods. I try to stick out some more wick and it doesn't wick as good. Anyone have this issue? Using cotton

Mine is not here yet so I don't know for sure, but try with the air control fully closed and make sure you are not completely blocking the fill hole with your bottle tip, so that air can escape through the top and not build up pressure. I have heard of this problem on other top fill RBA's.

I just got mine, cleaned it out. It's a bit filly to get the coil in place due to how high the edges of that cup area are. I did a microcoil and cotton wick, instead of mesh... I had a couple spills while learning how to set it up... definitely make sure to close the air-holes before filling it ><

The glass tube had some scuffs on the edges of it, which I suspect will get worse with time, but overall I'm really impressed with this. I got mine through a deal on GS, was shipped to me in 2 days.

After I first filled it it was flooded. I need a needle tip when I go to refill if I want to use the fill hole because if it can't get air out the top it's going to force juice down in through the bottom (closing the air flow control helps this a bit, but won't stop it). The first 1-2 hits after filling were flooded, but once that cleared out it vapes well. The first wick I did was too thick and I think swelled up to partly block the juice holes, so unless I waited a while between drags it'd dry-hit. I rewicked (another ejuice mess) with a lot less cotton and it works fantastic now.

this how i fill mine Scott and, i have no issues!

Adjusting the cone that goes over the coil and wick (not tightening it all the way down) can help to regulate the juice flow to the wick.

 

[zipflint]

Got one on the way. I shoulda been taking notes specifically for this thing. I have a feeling it's going to take a lot of fiddling about to get it chuggin' away. Which is okay, in a way. ANYthing to keep my mind occupied.

Just got mine in today. I kept the setup it shipped with and all I got was dry hits. Mine came with SS mesh with silica in the middle of the mesh and read 1.1 ohm. When I inspected the mesh closely I saw that the coils were barely touching the mesh. So I decided to take out the SS mesh and wrap 30 ga kanthal A1 on the same mesh. Had a devil of a time getting one leg of the coil going to one of the posts from shorting. After a couple of hours I gave up. I went with 3mm silica wick doubled over and wrapped 30 ga over that. Can't remember how many wraps I made but it was a lot and I got 2.1 ohms. Hooked it up and placed a 2 mm silica over the wraps. Previously I had broken two O-rings that had come with the Fogger V2 so I got a 11 mm (OD dia) x 1.5 mm thick o-ring that I had purchased from "the o-ring store" and that worked as a good replacement for the broken original one. I've been vaping this set up for 4 hours now and all is good with no dry hits or leaking. The flavor is very good and the throat hit is there in spades. In fact the throat hit was so strong that I've been vaping it at 7 watts, I usually vape at 8 watts. Vapor production is very good. I'm liking this set up so far but as soon as the setup needs changing (maybe in a week) I'll go back and give the SS mesh setup a try.
