Yeah I was trying to decide between the Bully and the Fahrenheit for $2 more, maybe I'll just get both.

I only have the Bully and it hits like a monster. I use cotton yarn wicks and opened the air hole to 1.2mm. I'll get the F sometime but I'd rather have another HH.357.....maybe I'll order one now....see how this happens?

Would it help or hurt me to open up the air hole on this thing?

canonikon, I have the regular and the XL phoenix RBA's and I've rebuilt both of them with mesh wick as opposed to silica wick. I've not had to touch the wick/coil assembly on the regular one since September or October, when I first set it up. Now, that being said, I don't use it ALL DAY, EVERYDAY.. it's an occasional use atty for when I want to test out juices and such.

That looks real nice, is that an atomizer, cartomizer, cartomizer tank or clearomizer? Excuse my stupidity, I'm still on the learning curve.

That looks pricey...

The part with the tank and drip tip is and RBA /ReBuildable Atomizer) , you build the mesh and coil setup yourself. It's got a learning curve to do it decently, but I'm getting there. :)
The Smok Telescope is pretty much a battery holder with a switch, fully mechanical.
I paid 95£ for the Cobra RBA and around $50 for the Smok. So relatively pricey. :)

GT, on my Phoenix, I adjust my air hole to satisfy my vape. Some like it closed all
the way, some like it more airy. Mine changes with the juice, the wattage and how
much juice I have in the well. I don't like a super tight draw, nor a super airy one,
so I fidget on the fly. It's a great feature.

You can relate it to cartos and clearos: some have airy draws and some don't. If
you think about that, you will find your sweet spot on your atty.

That's up to you. If you like the draw, keep it the way it is. I use a #56 drill bit which is 1.18mm. Or you can use a 3/64 drill bit which is 1.19mm. Most default air holes are 1mm which is a little too tight and produces less vapor and more TH. I find opening it by 0.2mm allows more air to the coil giving more vapor and a little less TH. Just don't go straight for the 1/16 bit. That's 1.58mm and is too airy for me. Some like it, though.

Welp, my Lavatube V2.0 just arrived DOA. So Imma get a refund on that. To make myself feel better I just said eff it and bit the bullet on a Provari. Got in Satin Blue with a blue LED. Yeah.. I'm stoked.

That's awesome, hope you love it! Waiting is the part that sucks...

The other day I pulled out of the drive and the yellow light came on over the gas gage. Wish I could have said eff it and get a 4x4 to make myself feel better!
