    Well from my experience on fogger V4.1 and V5, I also ran into leaking problem, when the tank run very very low (almost empty). This may be because of the air pressure inside of the tank itself and when wicking and coiling the Fogger, which the air holes is at the same level as the juice channel, we have to aline the coils as low as possible as well as its wick, then it would have higher chance of leaking. Unlike this Billow, I think it would not leak as the air holes are lifted up higher and by using the similar method of wicking the Fogger "half wick insert into the juice channel" (as I do not not have a name for that). I think this would solve the leaking problem. Well if I am wrong please correct me and still I would like to try one as I believe this Billow would solve the leaking problem.

    That's odd. In all the time I owned a Fogger V4 I cannot recall ever once having a leak.

    As for the Billow the handful of reports of leaking is from tilting it when vaping and laying it on its side and compounded when juice levels become lower with more pressure in the tank. Some had to use tape in or replace the AFC control screws to stop the leaking. I think a minority of users. Otherwise, design does look like it would minimize leaking.

    I'll think I'll stick with my Orchid v2

    I had my FT order of Orchid V4 replacement chimneys come in recently and now my V1 and V2 bases are converted over to V4s.

    One thing I found with both of my FT V4 full kits is that juice would weep out of the bottom fill holes. I put very small o rings on the screws and it fixed that issue.

    So, at this point I basically have 4 Orchid V4's that work great. Next up will be replacing the top caps with the FT top fill replacement caps that I think you are someone else recommended! Just received those recently as well. :)

    Any noticeable change in vape quality or flavour @Scratchy ?
    I did order a chimney that never arrived, but kinda like the bulbousness of the Orchid tank so now I've decided to keep them as is. Actually I intend to shorten the chimney section a little so I can add the flashy Orchid or Kayfun top cap.

    Haven't actually used my Orchids for a while either, the iStick doesn't have enough power and I don't really want to use them at 0.3 anymore on mechs.

    This is a topfill top cap for the orchid V3 and makes it very easy to fill up the tank. I have the V4 on order from FT as well.
    I do experience some leaking out of the air holes if i don't get the wicks right. However if the wicks set up good no leaking whatsoever.

    I actually think the vape and flavor quality do take a small hit but still a bit better (for me) than Kayfuns and the like. Small loss of taste richness is probably the result of the longer chimney (seems to cool the vapor some). However, I did address this a good deal by going with a little bit lower resistance builds than I had been using with the V1 and V2. Now around .5 ohms mostly. It's my preferred tank for airier draws.
