All on you Mel. Silverplay wasn't even on my radar until you tagged me about it. Hell you may end up with mine too if its not loose enough.
Noooooooo... @Opinionated started it, I promise :D.!!!
I think it may be close to what you like. If this helps...With the tightest insert, af open all the way, it’s about like the Elevate at 1/4 open. Next up insert is about like 1/3+ a bit open. Haven’t tried the loosest insert yet. Either is about twice as open as the Zenith with all holes open. I’m dl inhaling no problem.

safe distance from a black hole
I grew up using power tools (dad was a contractor), plus a dremel is multi use. I do stained glass, and I use it mostly to hand etch glass.
HOWever, this tank has just met its end here. It ate up one of my diamond bits :-x. I’m going to have to accept that this relationship is unhealthy for us both, and move on :rolleyes:

I told you so. :p
and I also snapped two drill bits on one of mine trying to increase the airflow. I shouldve stopped when the first one snapped and chucked the tank in the bin.
Did you try drilling out the airflow hole under the coil to a 2 or 2.5mm hole? (cant remember whether 2 or 2.5 is the maximum you can go) Drilling that hole bigger makes a bigger difference than drilling out the airflow on the ring....it still isnt enough though(for me)

I might as well try. It’s useless as it is.

Now it’s about the same as the True wide open. Better. Not enough, but definitely closer. I could use it in a pinch at least. I may go put it back on the drill press and try to open up the af hole on the ring. It feels a little strangled for air.

    Wouldn't take it on a flight, though. :facepalm:
    I flew to the west coast with two Double Barrels and the Detonator. In my carry on, they didn’t even look at them. They were battery free, doors open, no tanks. Guy in front of me got pulled for a search... it was his highly suspicious electric toothbrush :lol:

    @Janusz brought up this RTA earlier, and the more I see of it, the more I like. I'll watch some reviews tomorrow. Here's one review I found from reddit.

    Yeah. That's the one I've been eyeing, too, since Janusz suggested it, but I'm still not clear how this airflow system works in real life. I watched YouTube reviews, still somewhat confused. :facepalm:
