The glass has been holding up to a fair bit of abuse in my case. I've dropped it maybe 5 or 6 times when I mis-cued while trying to put my provari + fogger into my pocket. Missed and had them fall to the tiled floor. No cracks or anything so far, although I'm pretty sure I just jinxed myself.

Its set up for dual coils but Where would you put the coils in relation to the single air hole

I would try it like this. Sorry not an artist. Keep coils as low to deck and close to juice channel as possible, the inhale creates a vacuum and will pull juice in and the heat of the coils create the vapor which will rise in the chimney and intermix with the air coming from the top air hole. I would expect the vape to taste more like a genesis but its probably counter intuitive. Then you could try putting a plug in the top air hole and drilling horizontally through the center block in the middle through that vertical shaft to put air holes on either side of the deck, I would use a drill half the size of the vertical air hole. One thing I noticed about my BIG fogger is it has larger juice channels and smaller air holes than its little brothers. Vertical coils could be done but with long legs better would be to lower the ground blocks.

This is not going to work due to lack of airflow under the coil.

Back onto the Fogger, does anyone know of an international retailer that sells good versions? The ebay seller mentioned earlier charges $25 to ship down to South Africa, and I don't really trust Fasttech's version.
$29.95
Fogger V4 Rebuildable Atomizer RBA Version 4.1 - Fogger V4 RBA – MaxVaping

I called them first to confirm which version they had, and they were pretty cool on the phone, plus they shipped the same day I ordered. The 2 I received were really nice examples, so nice it's as if another company made them!

Lol no chance that would work, unless resorting to drilling it out to let air flow hit the coil directly. Anyone who has used a dripper before would know immediately; airflow directly at a coil is veeeeeery different from airflow that's misaligned even just by an eighth of an inch.

With the airflow all the way up there, and none to the coils at all? No chance it'll work.

I've been hunting for "Sikastits" Black Hawk Panzer and finally got it for my black Fogger.

I think these guys look good together:

What makes this different from a generic clone of the Panzer in black I could get from FastTech? Or is this the original?

You can't get an original one because it was made exclusively for RIP Trippers, all the other ones will have a serial number.

The Black Hawk Panzer sold on FastTech has conductivity issues. Voltage drop is through the roof. I don't know why. Maybe because of their coating process or, some say they are painted black. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't buy FastTech Black Panzer. Their Stainless one is good though. I do not personally own one from FastTech, and all the information was gathered from other people's opinions that bought one.

I have seen the not so good reviews about the FastTech offerings which is why I was curious about the one you've gotten. Considering all the gear you have, figured you wouldn't settle for junk. Looks nice although its much too gaudy for my tastes.

LOL yep I know, that was my point. "It works" is always relative. It will work in that it will produce some vapor, I just know I would NOT like the amount or taste. I agree they boggled that design.
 
Yes, you are right. They are M1.6 - 0.35 in a small Fogger and M2.0 - 0.4 in a Big Fogger

does the 4.3 have small fogger or big fogger screws? Mine stripped on my 4.3 this weekend. was not even applying very much pressure at all, then the dreaded jump occured. I have a tap and die's but am pretty sure nothing this small.

Hate to state the obvious, but have you tried one of the replacement screws that came with it? The post screws that come with these things seem to be of pretty low quality, so maybe it's just a screwed up screw, LOL!

gaudy

adjective: gaudy; comparative adjective: gaudier; superlative adjective: gaudiest

extravagantly bright or showy, typically so as to be tasteless.

The taste is subjective :toast:

This one has almost not voltage drop. I tested it before I bought it. "Hits like a freight train"

I have heard reports of a batch of Foggers V4.3 shipped that had M1.8 threaded holes in the posts and were equipped with M1.6 screw in them. That obviously not going to work. So, to solve that problem vendors were shipping M1.8 screws to their buyers afterwards. That may or may not be your case. But in any case, if you are able to get hold of M1.7 (I personally have never seen M1.7 screws and taps but I'll take BNEAT's word for it) or M1.8 screws, you could try (very carefully) screw them in.
In my tool box, I don't even have M1.8 screws or Tap. I drill to 1.6mm and cut new threads of M2.0 - 0.4 and install all new 316 Stainless Steel screws that I bought 100 of for $5.33 here: Stainless Steel Machine Screw, Plain Finish, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, 4mm Length, M2-0.4 Threads (Pack of 100): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

EDIT: Or, if you already have small Taps, Metric or SAE as long as you have SS Screws for them. You can make it any reasonable size you want.
