Just ordered the fogger v4. Looking forward to receiving it. I will post up my results and thoughts this weekend!

I've seen somebody talk about fixing bad posts by using the slightly heavier pitch M2.5-0.40 screws to replace the original M2.5-0.35 (or is it -0.30) to repair various atomizers. I'll assume it was you. A few questions...

Do you get replacement screws in the original pitch but with heads more conducive to our needs, ie flat bottoms to trap wire better from Amazon also?

Do you tap the higher pitch in the post or just force in the screw?

You've mentioned going up a size when posts are badly mangled. I'm pretty sure you have to tap these. Again, did you get tap and screws from Amazon?

I use standard Metric Taps: M1.6 x 0.35 , M2.0 x 0.40 , M2.5 x 0.45 and M3.0 x 0.5

When the post threads are damaged, I just Tap them one size bigger (not pitch) M1.6 becomes M2.0, M2.0 becomes M2.5 and so on.
Before Tapping new Threads, I drill the Posts to:
1. For M1.6 drill 1.45mm
2. For M2.0 drill 1.60mm
3. For M2.5 drill 2.05mm
4. For M3.0 drill 2.50mm

I only used two criteria to chose my replacement screws:
1. They absolutely, positively have to be made out of food/surgical grade Stainless Steel.
2. They have to have flat bottom heads.

The length of the screws seemed to be standard at 4.0 mm for all my replacement screws, even M1.6 kayfun has 4mm screws.
In some application I grind them shorter (Fogger Positive Posts) or re-shape the heads (Taifun GT and Fogger Top Cap filling modification)
But those were the same M2.5 screws that I got 100 of for $3.41 here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FN7Z5K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
M2.0 100 of for $4.80 here: Stainless Steel Machine Screw, Plain Finish, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, 4mm Length, M2-0.4 Threads (Pack of 100): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
And M1.6 10 of for $4.35 here: 18-8 Stainless Steel Machine Screw, Plain Finish, Cheese Head, Slotted Drive, Meets DIN 84, 4mm Length, Fully Threaded, M1.6-0.35 Metric Coarse Threads (Pack of 10): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
The Drill Bits and the Taps (and Dies) I bought on eBay, Amazon and my local Tool Supply stores.
Just one thing to remember:
Stainless Steel in not Hard, but it is TUFF, therefore only the Good Quality drill bits and tsps. should be used.

The Foggers use M1.6 x .35 in the post, so you may be able to just screw in a M1.7 x .35

Any larger jump in size and you'll definitely have to drill and tap first

Fogger V4 + 26650 SX350 DIY box mod + Rayon = OMG!

Might have to experiment with ribbon wire next LOL.

Yeah I don't know what the very first model looked like but that chimney is queer, Yiloong puts a holographic sticker on every box I've seen / purchased. If I had to guess I'd call it a clone, I didn't really think they would Clone a 30 dollar atty. Unless you got a batch for under ten bucks each, like $6.00. The deck looks the same as the deck until they changed it to the large deck.

New post on FT Fogger V4 has picture's of one from Focal looks the same.

I hope I bought the right stuff?

I couldn't find this anymore on Sally's website

That's the same 500ft box # I just ordered, I hope so too!

You guys got the right stuff. Just remember to use a little more than you would if you were using cotton

 

[bsoplinger]

I find it a bit amusing that the one box is marked in feet of the product and the other in weight of it. Almost like they've intentionally made it impossible to compare between them to decide which is the better deal. Reminds me of the time I attempted to compare those children's fruit snacks. One had as its unit price per piece, another was per pouch, yet another was by weight. All different units so no simple comparison could be made.

LOL yeah. I ordered online from sallys and after 2 emails saying my order was accepted received a third from customer service that said they cancelled the order and that it was available in stores...so went to the nearest store and they had both the 500ft box and 3lb box but the 500ft box was opened so I got the 3lb. LOL way more than I need but hey you did say to use more of it than cotton .

I bought 10' of this from my local B&M store Friday, I already put away, I am one of the rare one's that doesn't like this stuff I guess, it tasted strange, and in a dripper, the snapping and cracking was driving me nuts.

Maybe your 10' was contaminated? I get no flavor AT ALL...unless I forget to wash my grubby little paws!
For $10 at Sally's you could try a clean example of the stuff, it really is that good!

What do you guys make of this:

Fast Tech is selling it for $16.93

To me, it looks like V4.1 (without copper screw). Maybe some old Yiloong stock or a new clone...

It doesn't look half bad to me.

 

[Tbev]

That looks good to me it, I got a v2 from fasttech and it's not a clone.

Hey, has this happened to anyone? I just received my fogger about 15 minutes ago, but Ive already run into a problem. One of the screws works fine, but the negative screw seems to be stuck in it's post. So when I try to unscrew it, it comes out from the bottom instead of the top like it should - the whole post comes out.



As you can see in the picture, the screw in the positive post comes out, but the screw in the negative post stays in it while the post itself is unscrewed.

I've tried remove the whole post, holding it with pliers, and trying to unscrew the screw out, but to no avail.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Leave the post in, try an extra screw from the bag of spares.

How would I get the spare screw into the post?

 

[Tbev]

I see...... If the screws stuck hold post w pliers and try to get it out maby put it in the freezer for 20 minutes then go. Or use lube in the threads.

2 pairs of pliars, hit it with some WD-40, and if the screw happens to move at all, work it back and forth as you try to remove it.

Don't get your hopes up, you're probably screwed.
