Now waiting for my fogger v3 clone and steam turbine genesis clone to arrive, then I can panic again over failures!

I've not tried a genny, but the fogger is exactly the same sort of mc/cw build as the protank, it's just a bit more fiddly to install, and you must remember to wrap your coils the right way (back to front). Keep practicing and it'll be a doddle when it arrives, promise

Back to front coils, I don't see what difference it makes which way you coil ?

The coil sit at an angle between the posts. If it's wrapped the wrong way, the legs end up in the wrong direction, and if you mount it the coil it'll be upside down and sit too high.
