There are some posts about it in the Fogger V4 thread. I have come to the determination that i will never "pre-order" anything again until it somewhat floods the market and enough people have put their hands on it. From the looks of it, easier to install coils, but still a hard wick and topfill capabilities.

Looks like yet another imperfect device since you still need a needle nosed bottle to fill it and you can't access the coils and wicks when the unit is built and filled with juice. Other than that, it looks like an improvement but that's mainly due to the upgraded insulator that melted on me.

I will never buy another RBA that requires a needle to fill or one where you can't access the coils when filled. The Taifun GT (and the Pontus) got it right in this area.

Yeah I definitely agree with you. A bunch of companies are taking too many pre orders and can't even fulfill them.... Most of the time the first batches have defects as well.

(3)UPGRADED AIR FLOW CONTROL.this time, with a wide open air hole ,tight air flow control ring and a delrin behind the air flow control ring,enable to click into place for a better airflow setting,also allow a highly-customizable vaping experience.

i do like this idea a lot, but it looks like the drip tip screws in, which I would not be a fan of.

Did you need a needletip to fill your v4? Mine is a 4.1 and I have filled it with long and short plastic nose, needle nose, and glass droppers.

I tried filling that way but it didn't work since air could not escape. Still, there is the issue of accessing your coils even if you can fill without a needle.

Hm, maybe your airflow ring was closed. I agree with your other points so I didn't include them in the quote. Though it is just as easy to empty the tank as it is to fill it, if you have a short plastic tip. Turn tank upside down, squeeze the bottle, stick onto fill hole, turn tank right side up, and let the bottle suction out the juice.

I don't remember if the air flow ring was closed or not, but I do know even when filling with a needle, juice would often flow out the air holes instead of going in to the tank. Regardless, I suspect a new version of the Kaiser with the same top section. I do find the Kaiser is easier to fill and has better juice flow, but its definitely not as airy. Overall, I like the Kaiser better, but I just wish they would adjust the design for better access to the coils and better filling.

Here is the build deck... I guess you just push down and it traps the leads? That would be awesome if it works... Looks a little weird.


Edit: yup they call it a "push post"

One thing i have noticed in every picture i have seen of this,is the holes in the posts dont seem to go all the way through.It seems that would make it difficult to do dual coils when each post only has a hole on one side,and they are facing opposite directions from each other.
The holes go completely through like all other rba's, the post on the right hand side facing is turned 90 degrees in every picture i have seen but i am positive the holes go straight through.Imo the spring posts are gonna be the downfall of this version especially since there saying it can handle .3 ohm some places list it at .1-.3 springs are gonna heat and fail but will see. drilling the posts for the coils works great and bottom fill doesnt bother me. My favorite fogger to date is the 4.3 but thats subjective.
