I had to go up in coil size to get the right amount of wicking material to cover the juice channels. All of my Foggers have 2.2mm coils, which seems to work out pretty good on all of the versions. Obviously, with the 4.3 you have more room for even bigger coils, so more wick to plug up those damn channels, and still allow enough room for good air flow around the coils. I've been wanting to try some monster size coils in my 4.3, but I haven't got around to it yet.

The one thing that really help me was switching to Rayon, that made everything better! I especially like not having to re-wick these damn things so often!!

I guess I'll try more rayon.

I might do the same next time I have it apart.

heateris, are you wicking it in a KFL manner- just leaving thicker wicks up on the deck touching the tops of the channels? I always like mine to be just on the edge of leaking through the airholes. With Rayon, the wicks are juice whores and give me an incredible, "wetter" kind of vape with maximum flavor. How have you been doing your wicks? My wick shoulders are a tiny bit bigger than my coil diameters when fully saturated.

The only reason to leave on the ACR is if you want a tighter draw which to me, completely defeats the purpose of this thoroughbred device...LOL

I would be the happiest fella on earth if the fogger came with stock 2mm airholes on each side. Oh yes yes. 2.5mm would be perfect, but oh 2mm would do just fine

Agree! Why have those behemoth deck holes reduced down to 2mm's. For shame for shame...LOL

I want the airholes BIGGER than those deck holes:rickroll:

Going bigger starts sacrificing flavor at some point, lots of guys have their air holes opened up.
How big did you guys that drilled open your air holes too?

I was just kidding. I wouldn't put a drill to the Fogger 4.1. Mine vapes wet and borderline leakage. Any wider airholes I would be spilling...

I've tried a bunch of different wicking methods. Basically the different methods I've seen all over the internet. My current was leave long tails, screw the bottom portion of the chimney over the tails, trim the tails just a few mm higher the the chimney, then tuck them down on top of the juice channels.

Currently out of country for deployment, but I'm gonna open up the side air holes to 2mm once I'm back, as well as notch the AFC ring to accommodate the larger hole.

The way I see it, having the option of going to 2mm is sweet when I wanna have a chill lung inhale, and I can easily tighten it up with the AFC when I'm going strictly for flavor. As it is right now with my 4.2, it's a tight lung hit. I end up having to do a loose draw through my lips.

I should report that I rewicked my fogger with a larger amount of rayon. I really stuffed the rayon on top of the juice channel. Seems to be working well without and leaks. We'll see.

Also, this is the rayon form Sally's --

Sitting down, facing forward.
I tinkered with the existing build on my "official" V4.1 today before I filled it again. The wicks were in pristine condition and both coils were very clean, but it was only one tank full.

I fussed around with coil height and got them as close to centered over the air holes as I could given that the build was already there sort of "set in stone" while getting them much closer to the deck. They're still a little higher than I would like but the leads just won't allow them to be lowered any further.

Then I spent some time shortening, trimming and arranging the cellulose leaving all the excess up on the deck right at the channels. When I refilled it I checked how much went in and I put in 4ml without over filling and I'm sure I could have gone to the advertised 5ml.

Performance has improved markedly but it's still not the cloud machine I thought it would be. The build is at 1.8 ohms and that may be a factor as well as the lack of power to really fire things up. I do plan on doing another rebuild but before I do I want to make a small jig to hold the coils solidly while arranging the wires an getting them screwed down. I also want to get or make four SS washers for under those screws. When I do rebuild I'm going to try for 1.5 ohms or a little lower and see how that performs. I will say the throat hit is really coming through as well as flavor being vastly improved.

Hey Bubbles! You must be working hard! I just put the nr-r-nr Ribbon build in and it's super cool! I was scared I was going to hurt it BC the ribbon is so flimsy, I almost felt like I couldn't pull as much wick as I wanted to thru, but I did and I like it, thanks again brother, much appreciated!

1.8 ohms duals is a reaaaaaaally high resistance for a dually. The performance suffers ever more if you are using a lower gauge wire like a 28ga and just spamming the wraps to hit 1.8 ohms nett. That's a lotta wire mass to be heated up.

Yup, your totally right I didn't read the post before but I can tell you that is the problem. I run a 1.4ohm 30 ga build this like 14 wraps I think and it works great on provari and vamo but it's at around 4.2v constantly, if you running that on a mechanical it's gonna be an even bigger dud.
