Fogger V4!!

[dwcraig1]

This is similar to my MISTer by VJ mods and I found that you should only put the cotton approx half way down the vertical channel and it'll wick so much better. Hope that helps. Also remember, less is more.

Yes this is the way, I use my MISTer daily, ugly thing but has the best flavor of any atty thay I have.
The o-ring used on the Fogger v4 is about 8 x 1 mm, they really stretched it. I put a 10 x 1 mm o-ring in it's place, not sure if it will even turn though I suspect it will but open is where I want it.

It turns....

Hmm.... so how is this compared to Taifun/kayfun? I had such bad luck with the fogger v1 and v2.5/v3 (whatever), I'm not sure I want to try again

The v4 only looks like an earlier Fogger, it is a totally different animal.
I'm sure there will be those that disagree but the flavor on something as airy as these ( the air needs to be controled at the outlet not the inlet ) will never be as pronounced as with a Taifun or kayfun

Well after only a few hours I finally got this puppy to wick right, I am liking this Fogger better than my R91%. It is like a freakin dripper that lasts forever! Nice wide open air flow and for the price it is great! The Big Nasty and Fogger V4 have a date tonight!



I was ready to throw this sucker in the trash!!! Thanks for your help folks you saved me $25

I'm curious, why is it better to control the air flow at the outlet? Outlet would be mouthpiece.

If you control the air flow at the inlet, you can turn it down to create a tighter draw and under pressure, and increase wicking. So isn't air control at the inlet better overall?

The effect on wicking due to the difference in negative pressure would be the same.
But as far as where the reduction is made greatly affects the speed of the air stream. Think about a garden hose with a nozzle on the end and connected to a faucet. You can reduce the amount of water flowing by partially closing either but the stream is more forceful when reduced at the outlet. So reducing the air flow on the deck instead of at the inlet will have greater velocity resulting in more vapor production.

Reduce the amount of air while increasing it's speed

So who's got then cheap besides fast tech? Anyone in the USA? Someone mentioned $25?

 

[dwcraig1]

$32.50 isn't too bad considering it's free shipping, here:
Fogger V4 Rebuildable Atomizer RDA RBA Version 4 Fogger V4 RBA | eBay

Ok, so if you reduce the airflow at the mouth piece you won't have as much negative pressure at the wick holes, but the same air speed as if reducing it at the intake. Reducing air intake at the inlet (bottom of the atomizer) should be always better at least for wicking speed.

My glass tank now chipped It was previously minimally chipped / not smooth at the edge, now after washing it again (softly) it chipped even more.

I'm talking about reducing the size of the air hole on the deck just below the wick/coil, not the mouth piece.
Here are a couple of examples, the first an Aqua done by another ECF member (it's also single coil)

Next is a Oddy2Kayfun kit in a Hercules which I modded the air outlet with some Taifun parts.

Or.... one might just open up the holes on the base and air control ring and make a lung hitter with it, that's just about what it is stock

Ah ok, then we meant the same thing. I was just confused with "outlet" which I thought to mean the "mouthpiece", where the air comes out of the atomizer when viewed as a complete system. I'm curious about this because I've seen some companies using mouthpieces with smaller air holes on the drip tips / mouth pieces (eCom, Kayfun) and I don't quite understand why (or if it's just fail). And some RBA even had an adjustable ait flow in the mouthpiece. This didn't make sense to me so I wanted to ask.

I wish I could find one in the US, ebay sellers want wayyyy to much to ship it here! and FT is too slow

 

[DejayRezme]

I really like the vapor production and the flavor. Better than my kayfun clone imho. But the build quality isn't that great. Maybe they will bring out the V4.5? My glass tank was chipped at the rims, there is a tiny dent in the chimney, the refill hole is crooked and there are blemishes in the stainless steel. And it has machine oil or some stuff in the airways. So maybe waiting for the next batch isn't so bad

I'm not sure that picture is of the v4 anyway.... which doesnt mean someone would GET the v4 from them, I'm just sayin'

The one that I linked ?? That is definitely a V4. Image from their page:

I picked up one of these off ebay for $32.00, should have gotten 3 as he's sold out now . great atty. the wicking isn't that hard. The wick should only be in the vertical part of the channels only. Took a few trims to get it right but didn't need to rewick once. no dry hits. dual coils 24 gauge @ .47 ohms. hits great, and yeah the afc is loose havent done a fix for it yet. ill be keeping an eye out ordering more when avail. great flavor and vapor, smooth. coils can be a bit of a pain to mount but not too bad.

I must have missed that one, I was looking for the fogger name inside on the chamber section, and I was looking at it on my phone sorry for the confusion.

"dual coils 24 gauge @ .47 ohms"
I can't exactly say just how many times that I re-read that post, either you have a lot of wraps or ?
I would expect a build like that to come in under 0.2 ohms, tell us more please.
