I really thought you were a try-anything-gal. You have tons of knowledge, are organized and from what I can see a really nice person worth knowing. And according to you, you have everything anyone would need to fix something. So I would guess drilling a hole would be near the top of your wanna-do list.
Btw, I see that Rob has an A-7 (Phoenix) clone on his site for $8...hole is drilled in the side already too!!
Huh? I would assume the center post is open, but I didn't know the Phoenix came with an open post...
No, that's for dripping only! Sealed center post!
Well why would Rob be selling a dripping atty?
Received my black chrome A-7 today!

OH NO!!!! The spending never ends!! Where's you get it?! I want one...no, I NEED one!![]()
I picked them up in a co-op on ECF. They are really sharp looking!!! They cost me $8.36 each!
Really nice looking Karen. I was able to get on wait list for co-op and did get a couple of the black chromes. That co-op closed really fast. The prices were incredible!!!! I didn't know they were shipped out. Still haven't been to UPS store so hoping they will be there tomorrow along with other vape goodies mounting up. I forget.... Are these SS? I have a couple but not sure if SS. If so I think I'm going to try my hand at torching one which will give a different look from the black. (I have 2 X torched ERAs; fine looking.) A REOnaut posted how to torch, sorry I forgot who, and it may have been for the A7. Requires totally dismantling it and care to have all contaminants off to get best finish.

Feisty Alice, the A7 is actually SS...you should be able to take it apart and heat tint it...I have several ERA's and I've turned the caps into a Brass colour, blue, purple and black...just depends on how long you swirl it under a propane torch...SS oxidizes with heat and depending on how hot you get it depends on the colour achieved...I haven't actually done an A7 yet (I will this weekend) but with the ERA's...wash your parts really good then wipe them down with alcohol (you don't want any contaminants blotching up an even colour)...string them through a coat hanger and swirl them through the flame of a good hot propane torch to get even heating...as the SS heats it will start turning a muddy yellow, then go to a golden colour, then start getting brassy, then go to a muddy brown, then start to blue, then purple then ultimately a dark dark purpley black, careful not to go to long. when done set it on a cookie sheet to cool slowly (don't quench in water!). The parts stay shiny, just a different colour...and unless you take a power buffer and polishing compound to it, the colour is permanent.
