Just received mine today. first build: dual 28ga-2.0mm dia-9wraps-.7ohms-cotton...wow! I must have gotten lucky with my wick size/placement, because this thing is wicking the hell out of some Boba's, and the taste is fantastic! About 20watts is all I can handle with this 1.0% juice, it's got a bit too much thump any higher than that.

This thread made me a believer, now on order as my first rebuildable, but I have an odd restriction. Could you rebuildable pros suggest how I can obtain a coil between 2.0 and 2.5 ohms? I'm not familiar with the gauge and winding conversions. I have and can use a meter. I'm fine with a single coil so that leaves more room for a bigger coil, and if I raise the coil closer to the top of the cone, the airflow should be okay for both holes (from what I'm reading of your experiences). I don't like an airy draw so I may get by with a single hole (and move the coil over the one I don't plug up with 100% silicone).

BTW: 100% silicone, once cured, is food safe from my findings as the fish in the aquarium live with it. The silicone seals/o-rings in reusable water mugs may attract mold (since it isn't submerged 24 hours a day) so clean it once in a while.

To get that high with a single coil you're looking at quite a few wraps around a decent thickness core with a higher gauge Kanthal. Say 10 or more around 3mm of 32 gauge. I don't have the resistance per foot info in front of me to calculate the exact length necessary.

    Another problem I'm having is tightening up the coils on the screws. When I start tightening them, it starts to warp the coil builds. Should I be going clockwise or counterclockwise when wrapping the wire around the screw?

    I have the same problem, the only silver bullet solution I can think of to this would be to have tiny stainless steel washers to put on the posts to more easily trap the wires and tightening them without moving the legs. Otherwise you just have to wrap them around the screws with a drill bit still in the coil and hold tight to the end of the wire that would get moved in when tightening the screws. It's a pita! Would love an RTA with post holes.

    I have been slow to post this but here goes,
    On my black Fogger all I've done is to remove the air control ring and Dremel the channels larger (not as large as some have done.
    With 50/50 juice it does quite well in the cloud and chain dept. With all VG it starts to get a little lean after about 3 good pulls.
    When I get around to my silver one again I shall make the juice channels even larger.
    30 gauge nichrome, .99 Ω and cotton @5.45 volts....big clouds (DPM VV mod)
    28 gauge on mechanical next time.

    Boba's is my biggest "pain-in-the-..." juice, so it usually goes in any new devise I get. I've almost emptied this big 'ol Fogger tank, and it's still taste (and looks) like Boba's!...who'd a thunk? I would have expected some leaching of gunk and stuff on this style of tank, but so far, so good.

    I'm curious to see if wick life is any different in this thing, I'm hoping at least 2 days...there's a lot of ... parts to clean!

    I finaly got my Fogger in yesterday, the black one from FastTech. The metal is a little thin, but other than that, it seems to be built well. The threads are all smooth and fit nicely. It came in quite clean, but I took it fully apart and removed all the o'rings and is soaking right now in an alcohol bath for 24hrs to remove any unwanted residue. It has the copper pin and o'ring behind the AFC ring, and it gives just the right amount of resistance to it. The tank sleeve came in a little dinged which made removing the glass a little tricky, but got it off and fixed the sleeve. The glass has smooth edges and seems to be cut straight, so all look good. I'll re-asemble it tonight and build it and see how she vapes! I also got some Ramie in yesterday in the mailbox, so I'll be trying that for the first time in this Fogger on the first build and see how it all works out. Planning on filling it with SloHans #7 since the last batch that I made is at 6mg, just right for me on dual coils.

    So 'soaking in alcohol bath' means you drop all the parts into a glass of isopropyl rubbing alcohol? Is that better/worse than cheap vodka?

    For new products you're mostly wanting to wash off remnants from the manufacturing process, but I'm more concerned with the Chinese funk that might be on it. I wash new stuff with soap and water and then a splash of alcohol to kill the funk, but I don't bother soaking anything. I mean, even doctors don't worry about it that much. Whens the last time they soaked your arm before they gave you a shot?
     
    Just started rebuilding and got myself a F4! Dual Coils of 10 Wraps of 28G Kanthal, Micro 2 Blaxsol organic Cotton Wick, and fired by a Turtle Ship 2 by RJ Mod (Clone) Gives off decent vapour and flavours!

    Anything else i should take note of or improve on for a better vaping experience? 2014-05-10 01.42.46.jpg

    Lol. Gonna hafta disagree. The ss in my fogger v4 is so thin, that there's a crack along the fill hole channel. I could actually use a tweezer to bend and twist it around

    Don't get me wrong though, I'm absolutely LOVING my fogger v4; it might actually have displaced the kayfuns as my fav topper. But there's really no denying the vast difference in quality of construction

    And oh, my build; so so yummy. At 0.8 ohms, the vapor production is ridiculous.
