Thanks Folk! Gotta get me one of these for certain. Love dual coil tanks like the aqua.
Fogger V4!!

Agreed... Ordered and hoping it performs as well as it reads on paper.
Folk,
One of the sites posted here (Frog in a Fog) has the air holes listed as being 2mm. Can you tell if it's 2 1mm holes or are they both 2mm holes and can you confirm capacity. FT is saying 8ml, I was guessing 6ml Frog is saying 4.5ml

How would that work with the wick holes in the Fogger V4? I have no clue about wicking yet.
Pulled the trigger on one of these. $34 shipped. Excited. They are all over ebay right now.
Edit....Received tracking information less than 30 minutes after placing the order on ebay.

I'd hate having customs hold this for over a month if I order online.

And now the other shoe has dropped:
Mine seems to be a little bit side-wise leaky. The chamber is not flooding and the air pathways are clear -- which is utterly amazing to me based on my experience with v2 and v3. I think the o-ring squeeze of the glass tube via the top chimney threads is somehow uneven, and liquid is seeping out through the top and bottom of the glass. Not a deluge, but irksome for sure.
This particular design change, which came with the v3, had me scratching my head. I've always thought that an atty's glass tube functions better when it is sealed like a sleeve with O-rings on the inside of it, instead of the glass being squeezed at its ends by the o-rings. Plus, I would guess that the glass is more likely to break under that kind of constant compression.

THe v3 does tend to have condensation under the top cap from vapor escaping the chimney. Could this be what is happening to you?
Holy Cannoli! I'm definatly getting myself one of these. It's like they took my favorite tank (Aqua), and combined it with my other favorite tank (Fogger) and made the Mother Tank! I'm so excited I think I just peed a little :?
Based upon the quantity (much more than with my old V2) and the two-fold location of seepage (on the glass and from under the bottom tank ring) I'm guessing that top cap condensation is not my issue.
Maybe "too much" pressure on the o rings? Too tight and it might leak. Lets hope it's either that or a dud, or at least fixable.
Because I ordered one too
I'm just asking about what a dual mesh is. Does the mesh go into the coils? Hard to find info about these wick setups.

It could be. But: my top cap was barely threaded on. It takes quite a bit of forceful squeeze-twisting just to get the threads to catch. I'm thinking of 2 possible scenarios:
1. because my top cap has an only minimal thread lock, it is set at a slight angle to the glass, applying uneven seal pressure to the o-ring.
or
2. There is some chaff wedged in between the top cap and its o-ring -- an o-ring I failed to remove during the initial cleaning process because I was too lazy and because it is seated way down in there.
did it come w/ spare o-rings? If so then you might want to pull it. If you damage it at least you'll have a back up. There could be a burr in the channel beneath the o-ring keeping the o-ring from being flush. Best to take a look!
Mine should arrive today.
This is good news. I love my Fogger V2. I actually don't mind the single coils setup but options are a plus. Definitely going to pick one of these up. The Fogger is the best on the go rebuildable piece that has a glass tank.
