YiLoong Fogger V6 Graduation

[Mark Spivey]

I just received my Fogger V6 this past Friday. I built a dual coil setup with 30 gauge twisted kanthal wire wrapped on a 1/8" drill bit (seven wraps) and wicked it with Japanese cotton. This build is running at 0.7 ohms on my pioneer4you iPV mini This is my first rebuildable atomizer and first coil build. I started with an Innokin itaste CLK on Black Friday followed by purchasing my iPV mini and Aspire nautilus Mini in December. I have to say, going sub-ohm really goes through the single 18650 batteries (LG 18650HE2 2,500 mAh35A and Efest IMR 18650 2,500mAh 35A). I think my next purchase will be a pioneer4you iPV4 with some more batteries! Any way, back to the Fogger V6... overall I'm very pleased. The only things I have found that annoys me a bit is: the stock tip didn't fit well (loose, I replaced it with a large bore fluted SS drip tip), it has a tenancy to flood when I refill the tank (if I wait until the tank gets really low and not fill it to the top it does ok), the air holes in the build deck should have been offset (they are centered), and the airflow adjustment ring and air flow is a bit finicky (you have to be careful not to get the upper assembly too tight or air flow reduces and the adjustment ring becomes difficult to turn). I have also been experiencing some popping of my e-juice... not a lot... just about one pop per draw toward the end. I use a variety of e-juices from various places (Mt. Baker Vapor, Virgin Vapor, Vapor Boss (Knoxville, TN), and The Vault Vapor Lounge (Oak Ridge, TN)). I welcome all constructive input as I consider myself a noob.

Congratulations mate. Enjoy that first-coil feeling, you only get a few moments like that in vaping so it's good to savor them.

I'm not very familiar with the V6 of the fogger so I can't offer much, but I'm sure there are mates in the RTA section who could. Since you have to have 5 posts under your belt to post there, you've probably noticed sub-ohm goes through the liquid fast too -- have you considered DIY?

I also want to make you aware that those batteries aren't 35A, Efest/others are being a lil shady there (they're 20A continuous, 35A pulse). You're going to need to keep that in mind when building.

Thanks for your input! I realize that the amperage rating is a bit "skewed" up. I figure they are maybe 20A continuous (at best) but I try to keep my continuous current to below 5A. I didn't have any idea on what their pulse/spike/transient current capability is or what they are actually seeing. I'm only running them in a regulated 30 Watt single 18650 mod which when running my 0.7 ohm setup goes through the batteries (keeps me cycling the two I have). I really can't complain about the e-juice use rate that much. It has about a 4 ml tank and that lasts me around eight hours (I'm not a chain vapor). I have actually done a little e-juice DIY already on a small scale. I'm still experimenting more with VG/PG ratios and what flavors I really like before I make the investment to take my small scale to a larger scale.

Way to go building on a Fogger! I cut my teeth a but on the V4, and it was definitely not easy getting started. I know the V5, and presumably V6, is trying to make things more user-friendly, but I'm sure it's still not easy!

Congrats again, mate

I've attached a few pics of my setup.

I use a SS drip tip instead of the stock glass one (shown on the Fogger V6 sitting on my Mod).
