KF bases and Bell caps but the airflow control screw appears to do very little, and the draw is too loose. All the Youtube videos seem to be for too tight a draw, but with these, whatever driptip I use the draw is too airy.

The airflow hole through the positive post is 2mm, and I wonder if there is a way of making it a tighter draw.

Not used these bases before, but they are pretty rough, and would not recommend them, but FT has little selection now.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Any help appreciated.

In the past I've used a little piece of rolled up mesh to reduce airholes

Many thanks for the reply.

Would that be in the actual air-intake hole, or the centre hole through the positive post?

Id do the under the coil as its a larger bore.
If you havnt any mesh some drinks can can be rolled up though is a little more difficult.

I do have some mesh, so will try that.

Many thanks for your help.

Should be a doddle then.

Another thing to watch on those bases is that the air screw sometimes finds its wayout the base slightly and into your 510 slots and you cant get it of ya mod.
i ended up putting a blob of superglue over it to keep it in place.

I have to use a spacer to stop the base 510 pushing the mod contact too far in, so that should keep the air screw in. Thanks for the tip though. Useful to know.

Creme de vape did say, back in the day, if the airflow is too airy take a green luen plastic nozzle and insert it into the air hole and then cut off  flush. This does make a difference. The other thing to try is to use a narrow bore drip tip
