The Fogger – My Review
This incredible machine is known to the Fogger Club as The Fogger.
With this wonderful unit, you will experience your concentrates at their maximum potential !
Let’s start with the cup that you will be putting your concentrates into.
The first thing that sets this cup apart from other cup/bucket systems, is the fact that rather than the cup being heated from a coil or ceramic heater from underneath, this has the coil wires embedded into the cup material itself.
This provides the material with evenly distributed heating, including the sides of the cup. For vaping concentrates, this is a win-win.
So, I will straight up say off the bat that this thing is amazing. It really takes my concentrates to a new level. The heating is great, the taste of my concentrates with it is so vibrant and full.
The cup is made from Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide, Alumina) ceramic. For the information on the alumina ceramic, see: https://digitalfire.com/oxide/al2o3 .
The embedded coil is tungsten, with high temp tungsten slurry solder, on nickel leads.
The cup is sealed with a high temp 1300°c ceramic glaze. Here is some info about ceramic glazes: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/what-goes-into-glazes-2746232 . For those wondering, this particular glaze is lead free to start with. Here is a ROHS report on the glaze used: http://ineedhemp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/釉料ROHS报告.pdf . There is a picture on the 8th page with a large glob of glaze, when the glaze is that thick the color will appear grey. The Fogger only uses a thin layer, so the glaze on the crucible looks lighter and more transparent.
The base is made from stainless steel, the o-rings are silicone.
Using your Fogger !
I have found a TCR setting of 180 works well for me, around 400-460° F. Some folks in the beta group have varied the TCR some, with varying results. Start off low, and work your way up. If the vapor production is still weak, increase your values.
Use the fan setting of your choice. If you press the fan button inwards, it will shut off the fan and then resume again at where you had it set with another push of the button.
This is a LAYGO device, Load As You Go. Do not overfill the cup. In my opinion, it works best with a small amount of material, taking a few strong pulls, and it’s finished. DO BE CAREFUL about burning yourself on the cup, it takes a bit to cool off.
The cup is a rebuildable device, meaning, once the cup eventually wears out, it can be replaced.
What can I say, this gives me incredible flavor and vapor production. This is the so far the pinnacle of a concentrate heater series.
Made of hemp plastic and glass. A little silicone too for gaskets and such.
