Even though I have no experience with a Zen product, I have heard folks initially complain about how light the draw is, but most seem to come to love it. I've felt the same way about my rba's. When I first got the Chalice I opened it up a little after after having it stock for just two days. A couple of weeks later I opened it up even more. When I got the ERA's they felt almost unbearable tight to me. I've since opened them up to about the same size as on the Chalice (I used a file so I can't give accurate hole sizes) and I feel flavor and vapor production are just spectacular.

Be careful opening up the air hole on the ERA!!!!! I first opened both my ERA's to 3/64" then because all the cool kids were going up to 1/16" I figured why not I like a little airier draw well let me tell you theres nothing airy about it I would call it vapory HOLY CRAP this damn thing put out more clouds then a car with a blown head gasket
It's sooooo crazy that I ran back out to the garage and opened up the second 1 immediately Theres so much vapor I'm not sure its even legal
I think I'm gonna have to drop my nic level that how insane it is

~P~....would i be capable of opening up the airhole? If so, what tool would i need? I heard about some kind of file...
I opened mine to 1/16, with a drill bit and my hand drill, holding the ERA cup in my hand... just lubed it up with a drop of juice.
I've got some cobalt 3/64" drill bits coming from an eBay purchase. I don't wanna start off with 1/16" to see if I like a little more airflow. They work very well with the one stock air hole.
That´s a very good idea, 1/6 is huge... I´m still getting used to it and just opened one of my ERAs (But I do see myself opening the other one)
What is the stock drill hole size on the ERA? I feel like i need to open mine up a bit. I got awesome results on the drip ERA but with the BF ERA i am not getting as good a result. The vapor is like it is way too rich and i am not getting anywhere near the vapor that i am seeing in the videos on the forum. HELP???
I had opened my ERA up to 1/16 the day I got the shipping notice on the other 2 coming. At first I thought I screwed the pooch but now I am looking forward to comparing it with the stock ERA's that will be here in a hour or so. I do know with it opened up I have massive plumes
Lubed what, the drill bit or the ERA cup? I have a battery operated hand drill, so that's not a problem, but i think I'd like to start with a smaller hole and graduate id necessary. Thanks for any more info, Muriarte.
3/64 is a good place to start but that size drill bit can be very hard to find. On the other hand you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a 1/16th size bit. (I can't imagine going bigger than that.) Use bits designed for hard metal. Irwin makes a very good Cobalt bit.

I rested the bit on the hole, placed a drop of liquid where it met the ERA and started drilling slowly.
I agree, I was looking for a 1/64 bit or 3/64, but couldn´t find one, so I used a Bosch 1/16 bit. It is a big hole, and at first I thought I had screwed up the ERA, but it is growing on me... Lots and lots of vapor.
for $6.44 shipped, I just picked these up, 4 of them..what the heck? I will be trying the 3/64 before going to the 4/64, or 1/16th. I figure it's harder to put the metal back than it is to drill out more...lol

I really like the idea of this setup. I just got my ERA in the mail and am trying to figure out an awesome setup because I'm not getting the flavor or TH I thought I would with the silica. This seems easy to do ...time to order some SS mesh. Is the 400 better than the 325?
Thanks I just ordered some to try it out. I'm thinking of using a wicking material inside the mesh...the cotton looks tempting but slightly hazardous lol
edit: would something like this work?

There is co-op getting ready to go on some too. I saw this thread especially post #6 and think i will try it as well.

Sweet. I think for $7.50 for a bit of 3"x3" warrants a test from that ebay seller at least.
