I'm so glad someone finally said something lmao as soon as I saw this atty the first thing that popped into my head was that youtube video where the dude is talking about how he drilled out his atty and kept improving it until he came up with the design he was showing off in the video on top of his xxix. If I'm not mistaken the pictures you posted are of the stages of development he went
through before finally landing on the staggered airflow design to create a Venturi effect. I think the makers of this atty owe that guy some seriously overdue royalty checks

Yep!

good eye! The top one is (The vape sheriff on YouTube) that guy from Cloud Chasers Incorporated (nice guy), the bottom two are all me (I haven't wanted to drill that many holes just yet, because I don't have a drill press, and this is airy enough as it is. If you add more than 10 holes, it's not enjoyable anymore (unless you have a dual 26650 mod, which I'm waiting for in the mail! hehe Can't wait for my BFM!), it's basically only good for competition if you get above 1/2 (or in my case 5/8th's).
I'm flattered you mistook my atty's for some CCI ones though

, these are older pictures, and I've gotten my craft down MUUUCH better, these are kinda ugly.
But Kurt didn't really come up with the idea, there's been so many vapers in the past that have gone for the cyclone effect, and all sorts of others. (I have an atty that slants all the holes upwards, straight into the drip tip, it has quite the noticeable difference!) Your right though, CCI is most known for their drilled out patriots and stuff, they don't do it quite like the mutation, but they actually do it in a more clever "staircase" style way.
You can buy them here if your interested:

Although they're technically "CCI Militia Atty's"

.
For me currently, my favorite drilled atty has a thicker "cyclops" style slot that fits perfectly in front of the coils, and then 3 smaller 1/16th" holes staggered at a 45 diagonal, I don't like having alot of airflow that isn't in front of the coils, I feel like I get more of the best of both worlds when I have a majority of the airflow in front of the coils.
For this Mutation, I think I'm going to combine the bottom three holes into a slot just like that atty. I don't have a pic of it, but it's kinda like below with more Venturi holes.
