I'm looking for something to make a little bigger clouds...I know drip is the best choice but Idk if I want to get into the drip world yet...I was thinking about the new fogger that came out or maybe an older one (just alot cheaper) any of you got any suggestions ? Or is the fogger a good upgrade? Thankyou ahead of time for the help and suggestions

For a tank setup, try the Kraken. I find the draw very tight on the KF, the Kraken is more airy, which produces more vapor. Easy to run dual coils. I find I get more flavor out of it as well. It will go through juice twice as fast though :)

I'm actually now looking for an upgrade from the Kraken, but if I can't find one I'm still happy.

My Krakens are all clones and they work great. I'm probably going to have to get a real one just to show my appreciation, but I doubt the performance will be any different. I build mine with 5/6 or 6/7 wrap (.4 to .5 ohms) dual coils, 26 gauge kanthal, and straight cotton wicks. You have to change the wicks every couple of days but it's very simple to do so on an emply tank. Halo Tribeca is my go to juice in a Kraken. Here is the video I used to perfect the build, guy is a little goofy but he's a happy bloke and does a great job explaining the little nuances to get the build right, easy if you follow his method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxn2URuTrSw Good luck!
 
According to several reviews I've watched, if you get a Fogger, definitely get the V4, V4.1, etc. I think they're up to V4.4 now? The V1-V3 have some serious issues and are much harder to build correctly.
Oh wow okay ill look into that I didn't hear anything about serious issues with the early stage ones..

Alright kool man that was the build I was thinking about doing if I got it anyway thanks!

What do you guys think about the prometheus? I watched some videos on it and it's super sexy , any thoughts?

I have the prometheus, not a big fan. The draw is really airy, even on the lowest airflow setting, like .... hit airy. It will make HUGE clouds, but I found it very difficult to build and after serveral tries I only got a very average build on it. It was actually my first rebuildable, which looking back was insane. It's a big RBA, it's heavy, and it has to stay upright or it will leak terribly. I think it's really made for cloud chasing, definitely not a roadie atomizer. It is sexy though. The eleaf looks promising for performance but no wow factor to it on looks. You might try drilling out the air holes on the kayfun, probably solve all your problems if you have the right tools.
 
I'm also looking for a kayfun style device other than a kayfun...Something that could come closer to a dripping experience but not a genesis style just yet. I have drippers and a kayfun but going back and forth. I think I much prefer lung inhales now over mouth to lung and its a strange going back to smaller airflow after dripping for a while. I was thinking an orchid v2 might do the trick...
 
If you already know how to set up a kayfun, i would go with the Eleaf Lemo... It's a new kayfun styled RBA with highly adjustable airflow. Definitely more vapor than my kayfun

this also looks pretty promising I might grab one...that airflow looks crazy

Check out the Ehpro Big Buddha if you're not afraid of going 26650. It has a glass tank, a dual coil build deck, and better air draw. It's basically like having two Kayfuns jammed into one 26650 atomizer. And, you can get it for less than $35 at fluid vapes with the 5% off coupon code "pegasus".

Thanks I've been meaning to get a 26650 mod soon so I think I'll grab one at one point. That is a pretty good deal but...is this as tall as a kayfun? If I put a kayfun on an 18650 I find it too long to carry around comfortably...I imagine its even bigger on a 26650 so it would be a great 'around the house' setup but I mostly drip at home and want a kayfun style high flavor tank that wont leak that I can bring to work. I've been looking into reos - that might be what I need for this scenario.
 
Damn so many choices...thanks you guys for all the help!....after looking and looking I'm thinking about getting a RDA .....I want clouds... and i know that's the only way to get what u want ..any one have any good suggestions on a good RDA...I have a kana dna 30 and would prefer to stick with that anyone know any good drips I can get ? Thank you again!

The Big Buddha is 49.2mm without the drip tip (which is ridiculously long, but is easily replaceable with any standard 510 drip tip), compared with the Kayfun Lite, which is around 61mm without the drip tip. So, it's comparable, but a wee bit shorter. In terms of diameter, you're only jumping from 22mm to 30mm, which is around 1/3rd inch bigger around. Combine the Big Buddha with a 2six mod, which is 81mm, and you end up with around 130mm total (just over 5 inches, plus drip tip). That will easily fit in your pocket, but people might think you're happy to see them ;)

LOL actually it wouldn't go in my pocket but a in a g-case hanging off my belt, so it would be better if it fits in there without sticking out too much. I actually have a kayfun 3.1 clone which i believe is 80mm with the stock mouthpiece. On my tree of life clone in 18350 it is around 145mm and it JUST fits. So the big budda/2six combo would actually be way shorter! Until I get another mod however, the eleaf seems to be the most inexpensive next step without having to change too much. It does seem alittle bit longer than the 3.1 though but I would just use a shorter drip tip or stick it on my stingray in 18350 to make up the difference.

As for the orchid v2 I definitely want one but whats holding me back is it would be a clone and then I would want to buy a glass kit which would end up costing more than the clone. The lemo is already glass and not a clone as well so I think I'll give it a try first.
