Just ordered one of these, whilst I am perfectly happy making coils I have absolutely no clue about wicking into the juice channels. Advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance, Paul.

ive been playing with the mini fogger with interesting results 1st try did it like a kayfun and it emptied its self so you do need some in the juice channels 2nd try no leaks but dry hits galore stuffed to much down the channels 3rd try trimed the wick so about a 3rd of the tails could go 2mm down the channels and yep it worked 115th try used far less cotton throw the coil and ran it most of the way down the channels and its golden that is the mini fogger thow

Ive set mine up twice so far, first time I used jap cotton for the wick & used 5mm strips of 2mm silica down each juice channel (didnt leak) second time i just used 1 piece of 2mm silica for each coil & put the ends of the wick down the channels using a bit of juice to keep them there (didnt leak either)....I always have a looksie on youtube when Im getting a new atty.....theres plenty of v4 builds

I usually pull a little 'tail' of wick into the channels before building the chimney, wicks really well with no flooding. I learned my lesson with that, and it seems the same advice for the V5 too. Just a small tail, no need for loads.
