The Billow has nothing on the Fogger as far as I can see. I obviously don't have one yet, so...

+It looks way better (IMO)
+better center post design
+It has raised air holes (doesn't really mean anything to me)
+Probably better AFC, but hard to tell
+better juice channel placement

-Requires a screw driver to fill
-Lots of exposed glass, so maybe a little fragile
-One piece chamber/chimney <--absolute deal breaker for me

That is true for my Big Buddha too. I've replaced that glass tube two times already. And then I put couple of Vape Bands over it:

I bought 6 glass tubes for my Lemos. I've only broken one so far, but I'm sure I'll break more. I'm surprised I haven't broken any Fogger tanks yet. A couple of mine have taken some pretty decent falls.

Because you thought it would be a LEMO..n, but it turn out to be a LIMO :laugh:

When will we have a pleasure of seing your modified airflow Mini Fogger?

That is exactly what I DON'T want to deal with.

But I will. You know me.

I will probably weld 26 Gauge NI200 ends to the 30 Gauge NI200 coil to use my drilled posts, to eliminate possibility of "Hot Leg" issue and to support durability of the coil. Tomorrow.

Mean while, I'm totally enjoying vaping on my NI200 Rose V2. Among my NI200 builds ( Flash E-Vapor, Erlkonigin and Squape R) it is the best vapor/flavor producing tank so far.

I just don't understand how did the manage to make it so it will hold only 6ml? The 23mm one holds 5ml and my modified top filled 23mm one holds 7.5ml.
Looks proportionally like they scaled up the Taifun GT with a nano kit installed. Perhaps in response to complaints that these large tanks held too much e-liquid?

I'll take some pix next time empty it. I don't use it that much, so it might be a while. (I still think it has the best flavor of any tank I've ever had.

Over in the DNA40 thread I brought up welding legs onto Ni200 coils, but nobody seem interested, go figure. Let me know how it works out, I have a feeling I'm going to be building a welder soon.

I really like the design of the Rose, but you know my feelings on plastic tanks.
Interesting but the airflow looks rather tight.
That's why I've retired all of my Taifun tanks. I've even given some of them away to newbz that don't mind sucking hard.

I still, occasionally, use my Taifun GT. Only I drilled the airflow holes (Vertical and horizontal) to 2.1mm. The biggest challenges were NOT to drill the disk inside and getting all the metal shavings, left over from drilling, out of it. I used 150PSI air compressor, water, etc., But I chose NOT to disassemble the base because it is press fit. :laugh:

Well, I just wasted an hour and a few ml of liquid building my Big Fogger. I ordered a new base off of Flea Bay and it came in last Thursday. I took it completely apart and ran it through the UC cleaner for a few cycles but didn't have the time to fool with building it until this morning. I used 31 gauge Kanthal on a 12 gauge needle (8 wraps) for a net of 1.54 ohms with NR leads. Wicked it up with rayon using the double insertion method. Trimmed the wicks, double checked for shorts and filled it up.

Guess what? They're selling the base to replace those with bad 510 threads, the black one must have had a problem. The 510 threads are fine but the hole for the fill screw is threaded differently than the supplied screw or the screw off my original base. I even tried the center pin screw with no luck. Bottom line is there's no wayto seal I up. My Big Fogger is still dead in the water and now I have two bases that are useless.

It is such a minor problem, man.
Do you know what is the size and peach of the threads in question? (The original Big Fogger has M3.0 - 0.5mm)
I would either find a screw that would fit or re-thread it to the size of the screw I have. And I keep Stainless Steel screws from M1.6 to M5 and everything in between.

But, for now, I would plug it with wooden toothpick or something.

I haven't got a clue what size it was tapped at other than it's not the same, it's a larger diameter for sure, and the pitch I can't determine. It's a little too big to plug with a toothpick and with my luck I'd have to take a drill to it to refill anyway. I may take a ride tomorrow with it to a local hardware store that stocks a decent amount of metric stuff. It just frosts my cookies that it's screwed up right out of the box. The extra capacity and deck room on the Bog Fogger are big advantages.

Dear Mr. BNEAT,

I'm switching to using Teflone (aka: PTFE, Fluon G, Algoflon F, Hostaflon TF) from using Delrin for my insulators. I remember this material from way back in USSR it was called: "Ftoroplast" back there. It took me a while to find a correct translation here in the US. As far as I know it is more durable and heat resistant then Delrin.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Mike.
