New holes on a RDA?

[BiscuitGTR]

Has anyone drilled holes into a rda? I thinking about drilling new holes in my ehpro TOBh atty. I'm vaping on .5 ohms and using all three holes so I don't know if adding new holes would do anything good. Thanks

the tobh is pretty airy as it comes.... and since the flow control stubs only cover the original 3 holes, drilling will leave you with more airhole than control. If I was to drill one out I would drill out just the center hole a bit more, but not by much.... increased airflow on a tobh would be advantagious if you are getting into the .3-.15 ohm level but make sure you have the RIGHT battery to handle the amp draw that low ohm coils require...

+1^^^ remember also that with airflow increase there is also a decrease in flavor. I use a numbered bit set because the step size is much smaller then you will find in most drill bit kits. I will typically step up 1 size at a time till I'm happy with the airflow I'm getting.

I've done a few and every time i'm amazed at how hard the metal is. The worst was drilling out (not new) holes in an IGO-W, god knows what it's made of but it ate drill bits for fun. Bigger holes would help to cool the coils down and increase vapour production, i've never noticed a decrease in flavour though.

Several threads on drilling SS correctly... with some posts my own. Search words "cobalt" or "titanium coated" + "drill bit" in the Rebuildable Atomizer Systems sub forum... they'll pop up. ;-)

Stainless work hardens like titanium does. The best method for stainless I have found is good pressure and low speed start off slooooow then increase slowly you will see the cutting go from almost no chips to a lot of chips fast, once you find that spot stay there until the bit is through the surface. Takes some exp to learn when a tool is doing its job, and its important to let the tool do the work. The other part is selecting the rite tool for the task at hand that's where Cobalt, Titanium coated bits shine for this type of work.

Make sure you secure the piece you are drilling. You don't want to end up with more airflow in your hand.

304 airplane grade stainless steel. Lol
