I'm no noob to RTAs, but this thing is crazy. I fill it with an 18g blunt tip through the fill hole, and liquid just pours out of the drip tip. Any advice on filling this thing? Is there a better technique? TIA

Fogger v4 leaks like a sieve when filling...

No, I didn't cover the air holes. I don't cover my kayfun air holes when I fill, so I assumed that I didn't need to do that.
I tried filling with dripper tops, but got backwash out of the fill hole, so I moved to the syringe.
I'll try my next fill covering the air holes and see where that gets me.
Thanks for your suggestions.
This video helped me a bunch. It also depends on which Fogger v4 you have. There are four sub-versions of the Fogger v4...
Yeah, he kinda drones on at the beginning, but the build is amazing and effective. Go to about 7:40 if you want to skip the mod introduction and stuff.

It's best filled with a bottle, not a syringe. I take a tiny piece of paper towel and stuff it in the drip tip hole when I'm filling!
Also, I wick with rayon, and while I got very good flavor using the wicking method above, it leaked out of the airholes. I now trim my wicks at an angle, so just a tiny bit is in the channels, and it's working very well. I have the 4.3 with the bigger deck and reduced capacity, though, so it may depend which version you have.

I just lost AT LEAST 5mls of liquid. I covered the air holes, and filled with a bottle. NIAGARA FALLS! I guess I'll have to try plugging the drip tip next. It's like it just FORCES the liquid out, because of the vacuum. Jeez what a pain. Other than this fill problem, I love my Fogger. This IS a major annoyance though.
Hi all, just thought I'd post back. I figured out the problem. NOT ENOUGHT WICK. While I didn't have leaking from the air holes during use, there was not enough wick to keep the liquid from pushing through the liquid channels when filling. Thanks for all your suggestions. Hope this helps someone else, if they're having the same issue.
