What (if anything) do you guys recommend?

So I finally (after almost 2 months) received my order from fasttech. I'm now the proud owner of a Nemesis mixed, Sentinel M16, Russian 91, Omega rba atty and Trishula atty (all clones, of course). My question is about the R91c. I cannot get a decent draw from it. It's like trying suck a golf ball through a garden hose (get your minds outta the gutter). I redid the coils multiple times, I adjusted the air control screw, NOTHING! I was wondering if any of you out there has one thats had this problem, were you able to fix it? If so, how? I'm desperate. I've heard nothing but good things about it but, as of now, I DEFINITELY can't confirm that. I wish I could. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for looking!!

I personally haven't had a problem with my Svoemesto clone. But i think i did read somewhere that during the machining process a couple burr's were blocking the airflow of this one persons. U could try and take the airflow control screw out and take a drill bit the size of the airhole and see if anything is blocking it. And maybe do the same to the airhole in the center between the posts. Don't drill it just kinda probe to see if it's blocked in anyway.

Makes complete sense. I'm right now looking at it trying to figure out what could be causing any restrictions. The draw is only hard when it is completely assembled. Thanks emg!

EDIT: I think that's EXACTLY what it is. Once I removed the air flow screw, I tried pushing a piece of kanthal wire through it and it got stuck. Now I'm not sure how the hole is machined (at an angle, straight through, etc) but I'm pretty sure kanthal wire shouldn't get stuck. Do you (or anyone) know how the airflow channel is routed? If that makes sense?

Here (I think) is the issue... shouldn't the airflow hole (1) be bored straight through to the center to allow more or less air that you desire to "flow"? With the airflow adjusting screw (2) being the medium that allows said air to flow? Correct me if I'm wrong but not having the airflow that I hear many are achieving with this atty, is KILLING me!!!



When trying to stick a small enough instrument through the airflow hole (1) (without the adjusting screw in), if I'm not mistaken, I "should" see the tip of the instrument through the adjusting screw hole (2). I don't. Therefore something is restricting airflow, correct? I guess my REAL question is...Should I drill out the airflow hole (1) to get a decent hit and some vapor (cuz right now...I aint gettin ANY of either!)

Yes you are correct. You should be able to see whatever your using to probe the air hole through the air adjustment screw hole. Because your airflow hole goes through the device. And the airflow screw just restricts or clears the airways. I can't see the manufacturer not drilling the hole deep enough but who knows lol. Most likely its some chunk of debris you can push aside with a strong metal pin of such. Or in the worst case you may drill it out to clear the channel.
