There is probably a link to this topic someplace, but since I'm a new member, I guess I'll have to post this here.
I thought this was worth mentioning for all of us "bottom-feeders"
.
I read on other sites that people were having a hard time with clogged up Evod / Evod 2 / Evod glass air flow.
I experienced this myself and found this infuriating.
To clarify the issue:
The problem does not come from the coil or the wick or the drip tip as others have mentioned.
Also the problem does not come from "proper threading" of the base onto the battery or the tank onto the base.
The problem is due to improper sizing and/or maintenance at the air holes on the base.
My first attempt was cleaning the holes. I thought since I'm a messy dripper, I must have spilled some juice into the holes, and it gummed up the airflow.
So I got a small picture-hanging nail with a pyramid shape point and started scraping. After a good 5-10 minutes of scraping, I got some decent air flow!
But the good airflow only lasted about 5 minutes of vaping.
So I decided to go the nuclear route and drilled out the holes in my base (don't remember the size 1/32 i think).
I used the smallest drill bit I had in my Milwaukee drill set, and using my good DeWalt driver and zipped out three overbore holes.
The base material in my Kanger Evod Glass was fairly weak metal and it drilled out no prob.
(If you do this I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you remove your coil from the base, hold the base in a good set of pliers and hold the pliers to a solid surface as to prevent injury to yourself, your mod, or your tank.)
Then I rinsed out all the metal shavings and took it for a test drive.
I guess I went a little overkill bc the three holes let a bit too much air. I ended up using some electrical tape and blocking off two of he holes to get the proper airflow.
We have a winner!! and this didn't cost me anything.
If / when I do this again I would probably only drill 1 hole, test, and go from there. I hope someone finds this useful.
Let me know what you think, esp. if there is a better solution for the poor airflow issue.
