This is basically how I'm using my Ti/glassy. Like @phattpiggie , I still leave the carb open. The open carb with a condenser that is seated into the Ti tip a little ways provides clouds that are *nearly* as thick as fully closed carb, and requires significantly less technique. I just hit it like I'm taking a drag off a cig. Honestly, I can't get all the vapor into my lungs properly when I'm using your preferred "cigar" method, so the "cigarette" style drag works much better for me. I love the flavor from my OG with the carb fully closed, so I know exactly what you're after flavor wise... I just couldn't stand the milkshake effect.
@Tommy10 how big of a hole did you drill in your cap? My OG's SS diffuser has a number of minuscule holes in it, and looking at it I'm thinking that spreading the air intake around by making tiny holes in the cap might give better air flow for extraction than a single larger hole.
Do not have a drilled cap anymore, cant remember the actual diameter, it was the smallest drill bit I had. I don't think I'd recommend drilling the cap, didn't make it drastically worse and drawing with a closed carb was much easier, but it didn't seem to really make it any better and loads were comming out unevenly cooked.
