Three RBA's arrived today. Which should a noob build first?

Don't worry about sanding it- you should have enough room to work with, because of the o-ring that seals the top cap...if it doesn't tighten all the way, that's ok- just position the air hole where you want it, then cover it with your finger and try to take a drag; If you can't get any airflow, you won't need to do any modifications.

Unfortunately when I screw it all the way down it falls short of the wick hole, loosening it a bit just makes it land farther away.

I used a combo of a file, 120 & 220 sand paper on my AGA-T cap. Then finished it off with a honing stone cause it was there. Came out nicely, can't even tell I modded it. Well, except the air hole lines up now.
