My new manual passthru with the curly cord is sucking way too much air, it doesn't give me a good hit. How can I fix it?
New Manual Passthru is sucking too much air

That's a new one on me. I know some batts have air issues because of the size of the holes, but never saw where the PT was affected. Make sure the problem isn't with the carto. I got one with bad threads once and it never seated properly. Try another to make sure. Then maybe someone will come along that knows more about the PT.
I'm having the same thoughts about the PT. I'm VERY new to all of this, but I don't really like vaping from the PT--I much prefer the battery. I've read many posts on this forum where people swear by the pass-throughs (more vapor, warmer vapor, better hit, etc.) but I feel the same as the OP--the manual PT is too 'airy'...
I have an old one & a new one plugged in at all times. The new one only works well on some new premium carts but not all. I've changed out about 20 carts and about 80% have air issues with the new PT. Just sucking wind!
Mine does the same thing with some carts.
With those i just curl my index finger around the joint where the cartomizer screws onto the pass through and it blocks a little of the air.

I've tried the long soft puffs, but for Throat Hit, the old Pass-thru KILLS the new one! Lays it in the shade.
Can I Mod this thing?

This is what I have to do with the second battery I purchased- it's a black auto shorty. It's kind of a pain. My first battery, a white auto shorty is the bees' knees though!
Every cart tried is the same story- white battery is perfect, black battery not so much
Please,please,please...take long soft puffs, and you will be rewarded

A soft puff doesn't activate the switch on mine.
Try the toothpick trick:

Monkey arms has a manual PT. That's what I have, and I think they're perfect. Granted, I am new to this, but as far as the manual PT, puffing slower is better. I can always puff longer if necessary, though.
Anyway, I think it's great the way it is. That's my opinion. It's more realistic, and doesn't require strength to puff. Occasionally, I add a drop or two of glycerin to my cart mix. That way it makes more vapor, whether it's airy or not.

Pawpaw, a few posts down from the one you linked, there was a suggestion about using the rubber cover. I tried it just now, and I do see a noticeable difference.
This is what I just tried:
1) Take a rubber cover, and cut the bottom off of it.
When you cut it, cut it at a slight angle, not perfectly across.
2) Slide the rubber cover, which is now actually just a short rubber tube,
over the cart, to the place where the vents are. And use it to cover
only the amount of vent holes that you wish, to achieve the
amount of airflow that suits you the best.
Yes, that works and it works well. It's just something you have to fiddle with every time you change the carto and it looks a bit strange.
With the "toothpick trick", you do it once and forget about it. No one knows it's there, but you.
Whatever works for you. That is the main and only point.
