I've heard some say that drilling out the air holes will deliver a better vape. Could some who have done it please comment.
Drill Out Air Holes on IGO-W Anyone?

Yes it does give it better vape.....
I drill mine out to 1.5 mm. for a single coil while also putting a drop of crazy glue over the other one if it has second hole..
use a cobalt drill bit in a drill press (slow speed) and use cutting oil if you have - hold it securely so you don't get the bit to run off.. or bend and break.
the metal is very hard on these..

Start with 1/16" first, although I like 5/64" and the next size up personally.

More air means smoother vape, bigger clouds. If I didn't go sub ohm I probably wouldn't drill them so large but I use 7/64 on my daily vape. 3/32 on everything else.

Drilled mine to 1/16 first then the next size up. Used a toothpick in the other hole and broke off. So much better. Just used a hand drill and used juice from the cap to lube the bit. Go real slow.

I built a single nano coil with the wick under the coil last night. I've always used dual coils in the past. But with the new coil and the drilled out air holes, this thing vapes like a dream.

You'll probably, definitely want to go bigger than the stock hole but remember, the bigger you go you are trading off in the flavor dept. It will be airy, w/less flavor.

In some cases, my builds still kick out tons of flavor tho, and i use large air holes

I drilled mine out recently to 5/64 using a hand drill with a slow speed and Cobalt drill bit after using two cheap ones (what I can only imagine wood drill bits) that broke on me about half way through the drilling process and used some WD40 as a lubricant. I also heard that Coca Cola works pretty well as a lubricant as well when drilling out air holes but I have yet to try it out. It vapes very well now and I can now use it again in my daily rotation if my trident clone decides to break on me again. It's rocking a single 0.6 ohm 24 gauge microcoil right now and it produces great flavor, although it does tend to heat up the whole unit quite warm if I chain vape it. IMO good quality flavor can still be generated depending on the wire you are using in your build and if you have it wicked properly. I am getting better flavor and bigger clouds, despite not being a cloud chaser, now than I was before and it doesn't feel like I'm trying to suck a golf ball through a coffee straw anymore I just prefer a more airy draw on my devices.
The stock airholes are NIGH unusable IMO.
Its almost as if they are just guide holes for you to drill out

Nope.just stuck a toothpick in the other side and broke it off. 32 ga twisted about 7 wraps for 1.7 ohms. I keeping coming back to this even though I have a Ehpro IFL+. May need more practice with the kfun.
Here is a.pic.of.the coils, still in dayliy use for over 2 months.

Would like to thank all those who responded. Finally get the nerve to drill mine out, both holes, to 1/16. Can't believe how much better it is. Will probably still use the KFL+ as my go to because I appreciate the convenience. But it will be nice to have the IGO-W for something different on occasion or for testing new flavors as I like to play around with my own mixes.
Not a very good picture. I've been using this coil a few days now so it looks kinda gross. I am wondering if I should have used a little more wick though. Can only do about 3 to 4 drops before it gurgles.

I have mine drilled out to 1.3mm on both sides with a dual micro coil running at 0.6 Ohms. I'm very happy with it, serious flavor and vapor. It isn't the best cloud chaser out there but that isn't really what I want.
