Fogger V4 filling and airflow issues

[novamatt]

So I just got a new Fogger V4, and after messing with it all night, I had to give up. The airflow is extremely tight, and when I try to fill it through the fill port, it overflows and none of the juice will actually run into the tank. I tried removing the AFC ring and I checked the airflow holes to make sure that there are no obstructions, but still having the issues. Is this a common issue? Am I doing something wrong or did I just get a bad one somehow?

Not the 26650 version is it? I had one that the airholes to the outside were misaligned with those under the coil. 101Vape had a notice about a bad run on their site after that.

Have you tried filling with a syringe? If you figure it out please post the issue. Mine is suppose to be here later today.

Ive seen a couple threads on this issue while researching it. It was my understanding that filling directly from the bottle sealed the tank off and juice couldnt flow in since air couldnt escape. Seemed the simple fix was filling with a syringe with a blunt needle.

I'm guessing you have v4.3? (Large deck, says fogger® on the chimney, fogger4.0 on the metal part over the glass tank)

Can't say with the filling, I've had a 'lil come out of the drip tip sometimes... But I think that has to do with me putting too much juice on the wicks when I prime them.

As far as the airflow goes... The Fogger v4 has the best airflow of any tank I've used to date. Wide-open airflow means a lot to me as an ex-hookah smoker (used to taking lung hits, never smoked cigs so don't really know how to mouth-to-lung) and this thing definitely delivers there. If you're getting a tight draw with the AFC ring completely off, then there's something blocking the airflow. Take a small flashlight and look into those channels for any obstructions, if there are any either try to clear them out with a paperclip or re-drill (same diameter, unless you want even larger air holes for some reason) them.

Also as mentioned... If you have the big fogger (meant for 26650 mods) there are a lot of problems with it quality wise so that'd explain your problems right there.

Thanks, all. It's the 22mm version and I've been using a syringe to try to fill it. I'll take a closer look at the airflow channels and get a paperclip in there to see if I missed something.
