Good airhole plug for single coil use?

Hi all, I got my brass monkey rda in today and I'm absolutely loving it, it's my first non-clone and I'm already seeing many differences. I haven't tried dual coil that much as I've been going off 1300 spinner batteries, and they strain a little under the wraps I've made, but now that I have my vamo and rda...I think I'm a big fan :D.

Anyway it doesn't really make it less awesome that the brass monkey only has dual air hole capability, but I was wondering if any of you have every plugged an air-hole, or if there's already a solution I haven't found. I have a few ideas (not tape, thanks though), and all I've came up with so far are iron tap hole plugs that I use for smelting (heat-resistant duh), and I can grind them down to look flush. Or a less permanent solution that may work are these metal plugs that come in all drill bit sizes, and are removable (I think I'll most likely use these so I can remove them).

Just wondering if ECF has any advice on this? Thanks in advance, and cheers m'dears. :toast:

*edit* Btw I just thought I can probably drill a single hole opposing the dual airflow instead of plugging, so one side is blocked and one is open like most RDA's. But I have an extra brass cap that it comes with that I'll be drilling anyway, I think I'll use the brass cap for sub-ohming, what drill bit do most use to open up for sub-ohms, I was thinking 1/8th may be a little much.

I drill mine out to 7/64" for my subohm builds. Works great for me. I tired a cap drilled out to 1/8" and it was a bit much airflow. I got lucky and grabbed a Halo top cap for my Igo-W 4 today at my B&M and it has adjustable airflow. SOOOO much nicer!!
Yeah it's nice to be able to fine tune for sure :D. It's funny you said that because on the spare cap that came with it, I drilled one 7/64, and the other 1/8t, and HOLY CRAP, no one told me airflow was THAT important lol :ohmy:. I actually prefer the 1/8th because I use "ridiculous" wattages and it's STILL refreshingly cool (which is how I like it), but I actually laughed out loud to myself when I blew that first surprising cloud. Man I'm going through alot of juice now.

p.s. sorry about the caps, I just never though it would be that easy to blow competition clouds lol and I'm excited about it. Turns out my coils weren't the problem, in fact they kick .....
