I'm working on a genesis type tank mod and stumbled onto something I thought I would share. I drilled a hole through the top/mouth piece to implement nicotimes air intake describe in Selfmade "Big" Genesis... I messed up and drilled a little too close to the mouth piece but after looking at it I thought it might actually be a feature. I should be able to control the intake air flow based on how I hit it. IOW, lips on the tip full flow move lips down to limit air flow.

I'm using the center post of a ce2 to get the airflow down to the coil. It hasn't been cut yet, just in to show the bottom.

Here you can see the vent.

This may not work at all but it's work at least a try before I have to turn another mouth piece. Think it could work?

Interesting....as long as its comfortable and you dont end up loosing suction on the output tube or block too much of the input it should be ok. I use a teflon tube with a .070" ID which is close to the CE2's metal tube at around .060" ID...and the mouthpiece tube is .150" ID...so that keeps a good airflow similar to a cig and still have that negative pressure for the intake. I think once you find the airflow rate you want you wont need to worry about it being adjustable.
