Fogger has some problems you can read about in the dedicated thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/461281-fogger-v2-wow.html

Kayfun/Taifun/Squape every each of them is a great performer but Kayfun Lite is the best option for the money yet. Even Russian 91% is more expensive than KFL but has air control option if its important for you.

Kayfuns are fantastic. No doubt about it. The russian, from what I've heard, is an excellent clone, matches the kayfun almost exactly, and is half the price.

Foggers have their issues, as mentioned above, but they are cheap. Just hard to get at the moment.

No clue about the Taifun, don't have one.

My bad I thought the Russian is more expensive.

I'm like 98% sure the Russian 91% is more expensive than the device it is cloning???the Kayfun Lite.

For the OP, I have a kayfun lite.....and it is WELL worth the money I paid for it ;)

91%s are going for anywhere between $95-105, retail. This is due to KEBOs MSRP demands on their resellers. Co-ops that were in before KEBO got "tough" with the MSRP crap were going fro around $60 before shipped, each. I was lucky enough to get a few of the $60 ones.

The Kayfun Lite does have a great vape and is not very difficult to set up. I would say go with the KFL or the Russian 91%. They both are spectacular atomizers.

I have been really impressed with the iSmoka Magoo as well. It's about $50 and is definitely just as good a vape. It does require the use of NR wire, but with all the vendors selling 'ready wire' (pieces of Kanthal with NR leads), it is not much more difficult of a build.

I've had or have a fogger v2, kayfun lite, kayfun 3.1 and a Taifun GT. I prefer the GT, easiest to build/fill and the best vape of them all for me.

For looks, I like the Taifun. Great looking device. The filling is about the same with both the Taifun and the Squape. Either one can be recoiled or rewicked without removing the juice from the tank. Just turn it upside down, and unscrew the base. The Kayfun can't be.

This is what I hate about the kayfun. Make a mistake in your build and you have to empty the tank before working on it. This is really making the Taifun more attractive to me, it's just too expensive :(

How does the fogger v2 compare to the taifun gt? Is it at least similar in vape quality?

It's a different atty, I'm sure you can get a great vape out of it but I only got a good one. It's PITA compared to the taifun gt and has some design flaws, probably a bigger deal to me as I have had Taifuns and Kayfuns. It's hard to go backwards. It's a lot more fickle and the o-ring that seals the chamber is in a dumb place.

I have a fogger V2 and a Russian 91%. They are both good RBA's and I enjoy both but I like the Russian 91% a little better. The R91 is easier to build and seems to be a little less finicky with how much wick I use. I do though have 3 mm silica wick double over in the FV2 and cotton wick in the R91, so it may just be the different builds. I did break a couple of O-rings in the FV2 but I had O-rings on hand that I replaced the broken ones with.

I'm in the market for a new device, and I'm interested in one of the above...My usual cheap tendencies are saying go with the fogger, but those top tier rba's are so enticing. I'm looking for the easiest build with the best vape. another issue is where do I get one?


I actually just bought a russian 91% on preorder for 83$ usd from vapordna.com if anyone is interested
