    Howdy

    My GS Air has 2 air holes and a middle hole where a screw goes to control the air flow

    The problem is the screw fell out and is a gonner

    Wondering what I could use to block that hole, am thinking glue is a bad idea due to me inhaling it !!!

    I would have thought epoxy resin would do the job.

    A little bit of sellotape over it would do the job

    Shove a match stick in & then break it off or a slither of wood if match stick is too small.

    That would look hideous.

    Well I'd prefer not to be walking around a pub with a match stick and duct tape hanging off my e-cig.

    :D:D:D:D Ok,I get your point alright,I specifically bought wooden Croatia needles 1mm to 5mm thick from China for 40c & they have fixed a lot of holes for me on different devices over the past 6 years of vaping.
    The amount of work we had to do to devices to improve them would be insane in today's market,always drilling out air holes & stuffing them,even today I watched a YT video & the reviewer used insulation tape on a regulated box mod to stop the battery door from rattling,always remember to keep your duct tape safe,you never know when you might need it:D:D:D (sorry for going off topic) I actually used it on my Mercedes A Class last year,I managed to break the plastic sill & the cost for a new one was over €700,lucky for me the car is black & the €3 duct tape fixed it good,it can't be seen from a distance & the car has been through many washes.
    Anyway,back to the GS Air,the screw disappears into the hole,so the match or cocktail stick wouldn't be seen.
    I screwed one of mine in good & tight & it gave a very tight draw but still able to do mouth to lung with it.
    So this might fix Tom Cruiser Left Nut :D:D:D:D:D:D great username:D:D
