...I hadn't until i bought two new ones, and something caught my eye on the top one:
glad I looked...a hobby knife did the trick; but it never occurred to me before to check and see that all my airlocks could actually pass air!
I think they pass gas dont they?

I can honestly say that the first thing I do to an airlock is cut that piece off.
Then the airlock gets turned into a blowoff hose airlock.
When I need to use it without the hose, I search for an hour to find the cap and tophat that I threw in a corner some where, fill it with sanitizer and its ready to go!
Very early on in my brewing I saw a thread somewhere about the mess a brewer had when those little holes clogged up. Ever since then I've cut that little end off.
