Both the Fogger V1 and V2 have arrived. The V2 is an improved design over the V1 utilizing a pyrex glass tank, an air flow control, and top filling port.

I purchased the V2 from Vapor Cigzz and the V1 from Vapor Beast.

Although some may consider these similar to the Kayfun, they are far closer in design to the Taifun.

After a quick inspection, I can wholeheartedly continue to call the Taifun one of my favorite atomizers. They are both missing an important feature contained in the Taifun, the ability to lower the wall surrounding the build area making access to the terminals and screws much easier to deal with.

With both the Fogger V1 & V2, the build area is recessed slightly making access more difficult.

That’s not to say we can’t get some really good builds in there, and perhaps get it to work just as well as the Taifun, but it will certainly be more of a challenge to work with.

I have been researching e-cigs for a couple weeks now. I tried a couple
disposables and the act of vamping helped severely cut my cravings for having an
analog cigarette. However the tasted horrible and would end up costing me more than
buying a pack of analogs. I decided to go on reddit and youtube about other e-cig
options and became completely overwhelmed. I read everything i could find and
watched countless videos and still didn’t feel much confidence in what exactly i was
watching/reading. Your beginners guide video has been a tremendous help. It is the
most informative and easy to understand guide out there. I was starting to get
frustrated always being confused. You have given me the confidence to pursue this to
ultimately stop smoking. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into
educating others. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.

• 9/17/13 – Thought of another thumbs down on this one. The locking ring maybe shouldn’t have such fine threading. It makes for a lot of turns before the device is locked.

Just a brief intro… When I was 18 I started smoking and that lasted for 11 years. Cigars, cigarettes, dip/pouches etc. After seeing enough guys at work vaping, I decided to check it out. I spent a solid month reviewing and learning from you and GrimmGreen. My job has me out in the field, climbing things, traveling, harsh weather etc. I needed a simple setup that could also handle the abuse. For my birthday I decided to make the investment. I settled on the ProVari and Protank. With your Melon Boba recommendation, I have a set-and-forget rig that has performed flawlessly and has withstood some serious punishment (and drops). I have been smoke free since 6/8/13. Not a single cigarette or anything else. Massive thanks for providing detailed information in a way that an OCDer like myself could sift through.

As for the Kanger Protank vs Protank 2. I had the exact same experience. The initial Protank worked great and I was waiting for the upgrade, so I was a little frustrated when the Protank 2 cut the airflow off when tightened down all the way. After swapping the base between the two tanks, the Protank 2 works perfectly. Thanks for giving me the idea in your video review, I was almost disappointed in the purchase.

Again, thank you for everything!

Phil, thanks so much for what you have done for the vapeing community, but more for what you have done for me. After a stay in the hospital for back surgery I started vapeing the blu e-cigs and it worked for a while but I was about to give up and go back to my 28yr. smoking death sentence, but I got on the internet and searched for e-cig reviews trying to find something better before I started back and there you were, I know it sounds strange but I have considered you a friend ever since. You, and Nick,GrimmGreen, and Demetrius, May have saved my life, I have been smoke free since April 24, 2013 and vaping is my new passion I tell people about it all the time, have given away several ego style kits to people hoping I can do for them what you did for me, sort of paying it forward, Thanks again and I think the from the chair segment is great it has a one on one feel to it. Vape on!!!

Dear Phil,

I wanted to send you an email to thank you for getting me into vaping. I was a pack a day smoker for about ten years and I quit two months ago. I feel so much better and it is great. Vaping has become one of my all time favorite hobbies now. I really love the fact you are an entertainer at heart and enjoy making people feel good. The money I am spending on gear is crazy…… but I love it. Your personality really helped me to be excited about vaping because I had tried e cigs years ago and it failed miserably. I also love the fact you are very technical as well because I am the same way. Im not an engineer like you but I’m really into that kind of thing, even though I have a degree in Philosophy. I am starting a new career in the medical field so vaping will save me from a lot of scrutiny from my co-workers. I have been a chef in fine dining for a long time and most people in the restaurant industry smoke. I know I’m rambling on and I’ll stop now. I wish you all the best and keep up the great work.

Sincerely,

Tom
