I just purchased my first rda from Altsmoke:

Phoenix V5 - Rebuildable Atomizer - AltSmoke

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get air through this thing! It doesn't have the three hole configuration I've seen in video demos of the Phoenix V5. I wrote to Altsmoke and they said that you line up the air holes by twisting the chimney, but I see no air holes on this thing whatsoever.

Any clues?

take the cap off and hold it up to some light, looks like there are three tiny tiny holes in one of the groves

Thanks for the reply - this one really doesn't have any holes in it. Maybe it's defective, or assumed that a user will drill themselves? But then I'm baffled why this wouldn't be mentioned by anyone who reviewed it or in the description.

I even tried taking off the cap, leaving on drip tip, put my finger over the drip tip and blew into the bottom. Absolutely no air can come through this thing...There are no holes in the deck, either, like the ones I've seen on the models that have the three holes to line up with the ones on the cap...

Altsmoke was kind enough to issue a credit so I ordered a Troll RDA, looks like there will be no mystery with that one! But I can't help thinking that I might have an awesome little RDA here and I might just be missing something...
