I messed up my RBA. I'm depressed...

So I messed up my rba. Not really though. It functions better than it did when I first purchased it. I drilled two airholes in my authentic Vulcan. I build my coils on the left side of the 3 post design so instead of drilling out the V I just put the holes just to the left of the logo. That way if I decide to close off the airhole I can. One of the holes turned out perfect. I mean perfect. Dead center perfect spacing exactly where I wanted it. The hole on the other side, not so much. It came out a little too high and slightly cut into the logo a little bit. Both sides still function great. But the fact that I didn't get them both even is driving me up the wall. Yeah, $45 could get me a new one but that brings up two new issues for me. 1. I would still want to drill out the same hole on the new one (risking messing it up again). 2. Just thinking about spending more money on something I already have is making me 'tick' almost as much as knowing I messed up the first one I bought.

I know all of this probably seems silly to most of you but this is really bothering me. I love the Vulcan. I picked it out because I researched (like all my purchases) the options available and it suited my desires the most. I purchased it knowing that I was going to drill these two holes. The flavor, and vapor production are exactly what I want. Why couldn't the second hole just turn out right. When setting up the cut I measured and measured again. Then checked twice more just two be sure. (Measure twice, cut once is literally my life moto) I know I'm being obsessive and there are a million other things out there to stress over then this. I just fixate on the little details and it gets the best of me. :sigh: first world problems, eh?

Hmm, I don't understand how you put the hole in the wrong place. Did your drill wander or did you just not locate it in the right location?

You could also get something like a Mutation X. It has 18 air holes and AFC so you can chose how many are open. I just got one and I like it. It's set up for cloud chasing with huge post holes and all those air holes, but that's what I was after. The nice thing is with the AFC you can play with air flow without drilling holes and be able to go back to less if you desire. Works for me :)
