top cap air hole too big

[dirtydog2008]

I made a bad move I drilled my aga-t2 top cap air hole out to 1.9mm airy draw instead of 1.5mm Now i am trying to find a safe
way to seal the hole and start a new hole on other side of the top cap any suggestion

Lead free solder may be an option. I've seen it suggested to try and get a syringe needle to stick in there to reduce the size of the airhole too.

I have heard of people wrapping electrical tape around the outside of the cap, then filling the hole from the inside with JB Weld epoxy, then re-drilling their hole through the JB Weld.

You can reduce the size of the current hole with mesh

Give it a couple days before you try to change it I redrilled mine a few days ago and at first hated it as well buuuuuuut I didn't feel like messing with it again and I have discovered not only do I get better vapor I also get much much better flavor with the larger hole. try taking a piece of mesh roll it up a stuff it in the hole to barely stiffen the draw while leaving the hole the same size. you could learn to enjoy it alot as I have. I also rewicked it just now with 100% non oxidized 400 mesh rolled solidish and it's throwing stupid clouds of clean clean vapor.

You can use the non toxic version of J B Weld to seal the hole and redrill smaller diameter hole.

Late but valuable fact:
Doubling the diameter of a circle increases the area by 400%.
Always increase air hole incrementally to avoid that oh crap moment.
Lead free solder if you are experience at soldering, if you aren't you may very well just make a mess of it.
Aluminum tape (small piece) to cover the hole, then piercing it with a smaller hole is the fastest fix, not necessarily the most visually pleasing, but will allow you to find the right size hole for your preference.
