LOL!! haha that was hilarious.
cool well can you explain what people really drill it out for? I know for air flow but does it impact your vapor production?
My vapor production increased by 100% after drilling out my holes even wider!!!
My situation...
I bought a nimbus, running dual coils. I bought it at a vape shop called Empire Vape in Norco, CA (awesome place). THe guy drilled out the stock holes for me, a very small amount. I noticed that when running it at .8 ohms - .6 ohms it gets CRAZYYYY hot - then i started worrying about heat & battery.
So I drilled out my airholes (yes both holes) to 3/32 with a drill bit. Just a normal power drill, and an old ... one for that matter! lol the drill was made in probably 1976. New drill bits though, that's important.
I had my friend take a pair of pliers, lined the inside of the pliers w/ cut out square of fabric... just so the teeth of the pliers wouldn't scratch my pretty nimbus.
Then while putting my weight into it, I let the drill start humming. It took awhile, maybe 2 full minutes of drilling to punch through it. Like I said, my power drill was made in the 70's.
But it was super easy, no scratches - the only downside I've found to using a power drill over something like a dremmel is that, after you drill through the holes, some of the metal around the holes is kind of jagged... no big deal though. My nimbus looks like it came w/ 3/32 holes drilled in it now.
Result:
3/32 holes are PERFECT! I think at least, a real airy draw, but not too airy like you're sucking through a straw. My RDA stays really cool now, even after chain vaping for an hour. No longer have to worry about heat transferring from the RDA to my battery.
Like the people on the EC FOrum have said before - start with small holes, see how hot it's getting - and move up if you need too. My friends have 1/8 size holes drilled out, but that's too airy for my liking.
Important note: If you're running 1.5ohms of higher, you
do not need to drill your holes out. From my experience, bigger holes really only make a noticable difference when you're vaping below 1.0 ohms. Check out this youtuber's channel: McVapes. His video on Resistance and Airflow was an eye-opener. He also has a video on batteries - every newbie should go watch it.
However, if you vape around 1.5 ohms to 2.0+ohms, and want to drill your holes out - you're not doing anything negative to your device, it's just not
as beneficial at that resistance than compared to 1.0 ohms or lower. And when I say 1.0 ohms or lower, I'm talking numerical values, not resistance =)
Hope my experience has helped somebody.
im a happy camper! haha thanks so much! really appreciate your help!!
