Hey brian, I'm also using a Fogger (it's the regular V4, but I'm expecting a black V4.3 too). Loving it but it can't keep up with my Ruthless E-juice which is 85-90% VG. I usually can take a 2s pull, not longer. Then I have to tighten down the airholes, take 1-2 primers so I can take another one. This is @ .8Ohms on a mech.
As mentioned before, I'm currently looking to purchase this which should function like the bottle stuffing.

You think that will be enough to fix this problem, or should i look into importing some Cellucotton or something else mentioned here?
Also might be wrong thread, but what gauge wire did you use for your .4Ohm build?

Thank you for the tip about tightening down the air hole in the Fogger and taking primer puffs. That was a huge help when the vacuum is too tight.

You might have too much wick in your wells. With thicker juices, I usually only use a pull a few strands in to the well and blot the majority of it right about the well opening. You might have to wet the wick to do this, but as long as you don't have a gap above the well it should not leak. If you have cheap juice, try it with that first.

For those who don't have easy access to a Sally's, have you tried checking out the cotton balls in a drug store? I could swear some of them are rayon, because I used to have to check carefully to make sure I had cotton ones and not rayon (rayon being scratchier on the face).

I just got these right here, but will also be stopping by at Sally's later today. I'll compare the two and post results as soon as i can :)

Hmmm, Malaga is bit too far away from me (some 1,400 miles), I'm in Italy... :)

Yes you're right, one of the options looks like ramie top but I hope the other one ("crimped") may be good enough.
On the other hand for about 2 bucks apiece (3oz) it's not the end of the world, worst case I'm going to stuff a cushion ;)

Unfortunately couldn't find anything else on this side of the pond, and I'm a bit fed up with (Italian) customs, endless delivery times and whatnot about importing stuff from over there...

There's 4 stores near Malaga Spain.

What you linked is rayon top, like tencel & ramie. The crimped version would be the best option there. But it is not the rayon 'cotton type' we prefer!

Oh and I've been on 'hemp' for 20yrs! Lol

Yes I've found in online searches that many drug stores carry rayon balls or other types of wound dressing.

There is a medical grade rayon out there too that surgeons use because it wicks better holds more.

On my search i also found this right here on ebay
It's quite expensive but it's basically a lifetime supply, so maybe it's worth taking a shot


E: Nevermind, just saw it's shipped from US. I'm dumb :p

Not dumber than me LOL, I've almost made the very same mistake (and a few more). But fortunately the unusually high shipping fees made me see the light... In the end I'm joining the crowd with the principle of "good enough".

I don't have it yet, but about to get a nemesis/ magma combo off fasttech.. From what you all are saying about this stuff wicking the juice so well, it seems like it would lend itself to the deep wells of magma, creating almost a tank like dripping atomizer. Or am I off my rocker?

That sounds like it to me, as I'm waiting on a wonderful person who's sending me a bit of their humongous roll. I think it'd be great on any of those big well drippers but I don't know the names of them all. Has anyone by chance done a rayon build on such a creature and I missed it?
