Can air hole size reduce vapor?

Hi ecf, long time lurker first time poster here. I joined a while ago but prefer not to clutter up this site with unnecessary posts unless I absolutely had to. I always search youtube or use the search function here but for the most part I usually find whatever I need. Anyways, on to the subject or matter at hand.

I have been vaping for about six months now. Started off with multiple POS's until i learned about the better stuff. I am currently using my new nemesis (not a clone) with an aga t-2. I decided I would venture into the world of sub-ohm vaping so I ordered an aga-td. I had successfully wrapped it with dual coils (30 gauge nichrome, 400 gauge ss mesh) and it would not vape right. I get tons of flavor and nic but almost no vapor. So I took that off and tried again. The same result ensued. So then I decided to try quad coils parallel and successfully got it working at .5 ohms with 0 hotspots. But I still have the same problem. Almost no vapor. So i took a look at the air holes and they look significantly smaller (both sets) than the single hole/single coil setup on my aga t-2.

Now i know that each coil needs an air inlet but can the size affect the amount of vapor? I have read about people saying too big of an air inlet can cause an "airy" effect, but can too small of a hole reduce vapor significantly? And if so, what recommendations would the vets here at ecf have for me?

current collection: eVic, astro by kato, nemesis, aga t-2, aga-td, various 510 drip tips, etc.

Yes babyarm, both air hole size and position to the coil affect the amount of vapor you get. The bigger the air hole, the more vapor you get, but the flavor might loose a bit if it too big. Also, you have to line up the air hole to the coil, this is really important.

A full lung hits with 0.5 ohm coil that you wrapped could give you a massive cloud if you drill the air hole, says, 1.5-2mm.

You most likely already know this, but, make sure that you are tipping the bottom of the atomizer upward, so the drip tip is pointed down about at a 45 degree angle. Good luck, be safe and have fun!

Thanks for the info guys. I'm defenitely going to drill out my cap then. hopefully I get it blowing the way it should be. I already know about the tilting part.

The only thing I don't understand is why they made the tank so small on the aga-td. And the air holes to boot. I tried to swap out parts from my t-2 but only the center pin and glass tank fit. The problem lies in the fact that they used a different size thread from the t-2 to the td for the center post. Maybe with some ingenuity I can cut and extend the center post....and why would they put such small air holes on a dual coil RBA when they obviously know you are going to go sub-ohm with it?

i run a 0.5 ohm single coil on an aga t2 and my air hole is 3mm, for a dual coil they can both also be 3mm for a low ohm build

.5 on a single coil? What are you using, 26g? With maybe 4 wraps?

EDIT: Sorry i saw your profile pic and I had to...

I suspect you have other problems because you can get a nice medium dense cloud w/ a very small tight draw air hole.
For Pinay sized steam clouds you need large air holes and an understanding of batt safety.
