Fogger v4 wicking question

[silence70]

Hey guys,

I've been vaping for only the last few months and started getting into RBAs. I bought the Fogger v4 and am having a hell of a time getting it to wick properly. The first time seemed to go fine, but every attempt afterwards doesn't seem to be drawing enough juice from the tank.
I've tried more cotton and a whole lot less, I just can't seem to get it down. If anyone has any tips for this RBA, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Looks like I got it figured out thanks to Killowatt: too much wick in the channels. Seems to be a common problem people have with the v4.

I've found that Ramie is just about the best wicking material out there. It's a natural fiber (cellulose.. like cotton) but more crystalline. The fiber is very strong and extremely heat resistant so it degrades less with time as a wick. It's mostly grown in Asia and is sometimes called China Grass. It's recognized as the most adsorbant of all natural fibers and is a very fine almost silky fiber that is pretty much perfectly aligned along it's length. Ramie Top is the combed fiber used for spinning thread/fabrics. I suggest you might like to read up on it and give it a try. I love it for all my builds.

There's a video somewhere from the manufacturer that explains the problem and a fix, it seems the V4 channels are smaller and a different method of wicking is needed.

Don't put the wick into channels cut it about 3/4 inch long then just loosely push it over each channel - don't force it into the channels.

I've done this within the last three days and its working perfect now.
