AGA T2 "Loose" Draw Question

[sfeltch]

Just got my AGA T2 last week. Although I get good flavor from it and clouds of vapor, the draw just seems so loose to me. Any suggestions on tightening the draw up a bit? Tricks or Tips from the pros? Do all rebuilds have such a loose draw or am I not doing something right?

Any help would be appreciated. Loving the flavor and clouds I'm getting but almost cant stand the loose draw.

most ppl complain that the AGA has too tight a draw. i don't think theres much that can be done. the hole size is what dictates the draw.

Odd I'm not experiencing that. Wish I would. The tight draw that is.

Tape over the hole and poke a hole with a pin.

LOL. that would seem way to simple. My mind apparently doesnt work that well.. I will certainly give that a try. Thank you michlu.

The air hole size dictates the draw. Quite a few think the stock size which is 1.2mm if I'm not mistaken is a bit tight and drill it out.

If it's to loose you can fill it and make a smaller hole or as said above which is much simpler, cover it with tape and make a smaller hole.

I will do the tape method to see if I can get something I like in draw then as you suggest fill it and drill it back out. Thanks for the advice friend!
