OK so the other day i received the scar from smok. The original coil really sucked so i rebuilt it with ekowool and 30ga kanthal. Hit better but still sub par. Both coils equaled out to .8 ohm so i though to myself, i should be pumping out way more clouds. I noticed it was drawing really hot too. Like burning the back of my throat hot with little vapor for what a dual coil .8 should pull. I pulle dout my trusty drill and 1/16th drill bit and got to work. I drilled out the top cap and the base. The base is what feeds the two air ports under the coils. I didnt touch those because drilling out the base to the bottom chamber did the trick. A 1/16th hole barely fits between the two o-rings but if you have a drill press or a steady hand(my method) you can do it no problem. No more hard hits and plumes like a choo choo train. Just thought you guys would like the know.

I really love / hate Smok's design on their RDAs.. I had the original octopus. It put out some awesome vapor, but it leaked like a faucet. There's something to be said about air being drawn from under the coil instead of over it. I only enjoy A7s on my bottom feeders and as drippers. The side air hole stuff just sucks IMO... except for gennys, but that's a whole other ball game.
Now that you've drilled one atty, let the modding begin! I filled in the air holes on my octo with solder and drilled a hole higher in the cap. Vapes pretty good, but I tend to not use it much because the aluminum top cap turns my wicks green!! Not really interested in vaping that.

I have it drilled out to 7/64 and it hits great.

well lets just say this isnt my first modded rda or rba. I bought this thing on a whim because it was only 10 bucks and i was curious to try it out. hit week at first so i decided to play with it and if i went too big and destroyed it i woudlnt care because it was only 10 bucks. I have my trident and nimbus for usual rdas but i must say this thing hits nearly as good as those. Only thing i noticed is that the top cap is stainless and the base is chrome plated brass. The base was super easy to drill but i definitely had to use my press for the top cap. I was afraid i was going to snap the bit on my hand drill since the metal is so tough
