Where are you going to purchase the v4? I still haven't pulled the trigger yet on the v3. Maybe I'll just go for the v4.

Hey man, lol not too fond at all, but I doubt we can do better alone like the brits are planning to. We have way more corruption.
I agree 100% I don't use it as I can sleep through anything lol thankfully the wife noticed it and she doesn't even Vape.... She buys it at Walmart so good to know Walgreens has it too.
For no real reason that I can think of, I have been using cotton for the last couple of months. Dumb considering I have enough Sally's rayon to last me multiple lifetimes.
In any case, I have been having wicking issues with my Kayfuns recently (dry hits mainly) and decided to rewick with rayon. All 3 builds are vaping perfectly. Time to pack the Cotton Bacon away for a rainy day.
I really like that I can literally cram a coil full of rayon knowing it will shrink a bit and be perfect. Soooo much easier than cotton from that respect. As far as taste goes, I honestly don't notice much of a difference between rayon and cotton.
Thank you Sally.

I was given a couple of packs of Cotton Bacon V2 at a recent expo, and I must say it is very good cotton. To me the flavor is almost as good as rayon, only slightly muted. The big difference was nic hit. I'm down to 3mg nic and with Cotton Bacon, as well as other quality cottons, it tastes like I'm vaping 0mg. I was going through more juice and still not feeling satisfied. The packaging is very convenient though.
Knowing what I know about the original, I'm gonna have to get one of these. Time to PIF with some of my older gear.

Focal has the 1:1 v4 clone
focalecig.com - Fev 4 Style Rebuildable Atomizer Bundle Sale with Long Mode by ShenRay - Silver
The one on fsttech is weird can't speak to it. The hotcig v3 is the v3 to get, but it's about sold out.. Only found one source in Stock rt now and have no knowledge of the shop.
Yes, It is the v4 clone to get its a perfect copy of the original Fev V4 The nice thing with the Fev is its so simple it's easy to clone. I use 300 mesh for feeder straws. 250-350 is fine. I recently saw a German do a different style feeder wick I may try soon with Rayon, wrapped like mesh with a hole in middle. But mesh works the best currently for most of us.
If you use the FeV V3 without an air screw and can't stand the whistle. I fixed that issue by putting in a loop of 28g Unkamen SS430, it is quite springy and works perfectly.
With the base away from the FeV wrap a piece of wire around it just above the o-rings. Twist the ends together snugging it up to the base but not too tight. Slide the hoop off the base and trim the end off leaving a 5mm tail.
Now what you are going to do is bend the tail perpendicular to the hoop and slide the hoop up inside the chamber of the FeV. Slide the hoop inside the chamber till it hits the top and try to keep the tail in the center of the air hole. Bend and adjust as required to form the hoop around the flat spot where the air screw goes.
I try to put the end of the tail in the air hole to help keep the hoop in position, this tail breaks the edge of the hole that causes the whistle. It is a quick and dirty fix, I wanted something that would not come loose and go up the chimney by accident.
YMMV and adjust as you see fit.

I drilled mine out to 3.5mm and it whistled like a train. So, I put a round burr in the Dremel and tapered the outer walls. It still hisses, but not to badly given the air flow, and no more whistle.
Perfect little trick does exactly what's needed to cut the air, been wanting to quite it down. A coil screwed into the threads with a bent end would serve a similar purpose.
Post that in the Fev thread!
