Drilling Igo-L and AGA T2 caps

It's preference, I find the draw on the AGA T2 to be about right. I did drill out my RSST to 1.3mm which was way to tight with the stock hole and it's almost to airy now but not bad, slightly looser than my AGA which I think comes 1.2mm stock.
I got a mini drill bit set off amazon which goes from 1.0 to 2.0mm in .05 steps. Not high quality but they were just a few bucks and fine for my intended use. If you're not sure about the size I'd recommend doing that, it'll keep you from going to big to start with.

i use a 5/64 drill bit for all of my atomizers, Nimbus, IGO-L (2 holes), AGA-T2 and Z-Atty Pro
its perfect in my opinion for me. I still have good flavor, and a good air draw

I used a 1/16 drill bit and made another on the other side for dual coil setups.
I'm lucky enough to live within a 15 minute drive of a Harbor Freight so I just went with the smallest thing they had (1/16):

Works perfectly for me, lots more flavor and vapor, plus the cap doesn't seem to get as hot. It will lighten the draw considerably but its pleasant, like sucking on a straw for water instead of milkshake.

I did 1/16 on an AGA and regretted it. Like breathing with your mouth open, it was. Try the thing first where you shove a safety pin (anything larger that tapers to a point) in there, and wiggle, push, spin, push, etc
3/64 is ideal (1.2 mm). Lately, I've been doing duals: 2x 1/32. or 1@1/32+1@3/64. I also just did a triple 1/32
More smaller air holes makes for higher air speed (sucking same volume of air through tighter holes makes the air go faster). This has a more efficient effect on the coil, creating more steam.

1/16 here as well ..
Started off smaller and found myself increasing the size gradually. Now I wouldn't mind going bigger but Ill probably stick to 1/16. I got use to the open draw VERY quickly and definitely prefer it personally.

Now that I think about it, one more air hole @ 1/32 (the quad), and I'll be right there with y'all
Three recommendations: A- 3/64" seems to work best for me (1/16" can be just a wee too big)
B- Use only cobalt drill bits
C- Buy one or two extra drill bits. Igo caps are made of criptonite!
