why oh why is this fogger 4.1 not working!!!

[valooper]

Ok ok so I bought a fogger v4.1 and I was all excited I thought angles where going to fall f4om the heavens and girls were going to come flooding in lol but really I think this thing sucks what am I doing wrong?

The details:
28 ga kanthal 10 wraps around a #0 precision screwdriver

Cotton wick stuffed in the channels tight fit I tell ya!!

Blackhawk panzer mod

Fresh vtc5 batty

I am just really comfused I thought this was going to be amazing like my rdas but the vapor production is poor amd the taste sucks of course I think I am missing my tounge cause I can never taste anything so not to much of a problem but I am just very unhappy with my heavenly purchase here people

What am I doing wrong?

Here is a pic and a video of vapor production

Hoping to get some good feedback on this bad boy

 

[Bunnykiller]

Fogger is more of a low ohm dual coil "kayfun".... most of the heavy hitting Foggers Ive seen are running .6 and lower ( .6-.2) with 26 or 24 ga. ( even seen a person use 22 ga dual at .15 ohms

i had a couple tough builds at first. Be patient. Once you get it right it ROCKS!
The key for me was NOT cramming wick in those channels. Only let a tail (tip) of wick go down into juice channels.
Second... the fill method. I use a needle syringe to fill SLOWLY. CLOSE the airflow while you do so. Let the bubble burp up and out as you fill. Dont overfill. put the fill screw in half way. Flip it over and let juice settle. THEN tighten screw.
For some reason this creates a better vacuum in tank and stops leaks and gurgles.

I concur with both things said so far. I have mine built to .4 dual 26ga micro coils wicked with rayon, cut really short and only some tips going into the channels (similar to how I ran my kayfuns). It's sitting on a copper Vapetech Pegasus. Works great the first time, every time. My 2nd one comes today and that will be built the same way and sitting on a copper 4nine clone.

 

[valooper]

Oh holy crap I am supposed to go sub ohm with this bad boy??

 

[valooper]

I am on a 1.3ohm build now lol I will go sub ohm amd its going to rain mountains oh dirty unholy would not make your grandma happy fog!!

I was gunna say lol for a deal called the fogger my prius has more balls

 

[valooper]

Question amd bring on the sarcasm lol but are you guys able to view the video? My mommy cant see to figure it out !!!....oh lordy lordy it must be the devil!!!

 

[Uncletattoowhat]

I tried to view it (at work just now) and its blocked by the firewall lol.

I agree with this 100%. By the way, my Fogger is at. 9 ohms and works great.

 

[valooper]

Yeah I need to rebuild it I just to wake up lol

 

[valooper]

So I rebuilt it at .76 ohms 30ga with 6 wraps around a 2mm bit

And this thing sucks even worse now I got like 2 hits before it turned inti nothing but dry hits I dont understand this any advice?

 

[bholcomb22]

I'm in the same boat... I always get dry hits with this thing, and if I'm not getting dry hits it's flooding.... Need to rebuild and try again.

Great response here. I have zero wick in the channels. I do a KFL wick and it vapes wet, moist and heavily. This setup runs on the verge of leagage thru the airholes which I do not mind at all with this device.

It's a beast. Also, there is a monster thread on the fogger in this forum. Hundreds of posts.

G/L!

It looks like your wicks are overstuffed and have turned when you screwed the chimney on.

Rewick it making the wick "shoulders" almost the same diameter as your coil diameter. Tuck the wick ends ever so gently onto the top deck of the device and when you screw down your chimney watch your wicks closely to make sure they do not move at all. If they move a little bit, simply take your tiniest screw driver and reposition them over the channels but not in the channels and you should be good to go.

Also, it looks as if your coils are "torqued" a little bit. That left coil has too long a lead to its post and has slanted that coil. The right coil needs abit of tweaking as well. Make sure your coils are dead straight, dead parallel with the center of the atty and tight with no gaps or slants. On that left coil, the lead end needs to wrap into the coil better. It needs to wrap over the top of the coil then make a sharp right turn then a left turn to the post...lol. Same thing for the right coil. Your coil leads when screwed down on your posts are deforming your coil. It will lead to raspy hits as it is no efficiently atomizing the wick and juice. Also, the right coil lead looks like it missed getting caught under your screw. You will lose power if you do not have perfect contact all around with your posts be it the pos post or the neg post.

Let us know if this works for you...

Your using too much wick. People who are running it 0.5 0hm ish or lower are probably using rayon, rayon likes bigger coils, more voltage, and is the reason for success with the lower build on the Fv4.
That being said, personally I think you start to sacrifice flavor under 0.5 0hm. And I run one fogger on my ProVari @1.4ohm and it's about 99% as good as my others from 0.5 0hm to 0.8 0hm. I run the sub ohm builds with 28ga and the 1.4ohm with 30ga.

Your problem is that your using WAY TOO MUCH WICK.

Cut the tails at an angle so they are thinner by half the total density, and come to a point. The point, tip, should be half or one third of the way down each channel.

Post a. Close up pic of your build, specifically the wicks, for help if your still having problems, the above pic looks like it has too much cotton.

 

[howeser]

Here are my twisted 28ga coils and wicking and I've been running this for a few weeks now. The key is using less cotton with only small tips of the cotton in the juice wells... I never get dry hits but I do prime it on occasion...

 

[Tbev]

I would cut half of those wicks off.

From the top of the coil diagonal to the end, reducing it by half.

 

[Tbev]

I took more off of this wick ^^^^^

Just a tiny bit in the channels....


BTW if you would have searched the fogger v4 thread you sound have seen pics like these.

Post results, I'll get you going.
