    They lay eggs from the rear and eat from the front. Looks kind of like a dragon fly but it isn't.

    I do not do the brain tanning myself anymore either-MUCH easier to buy the hides and have two very good tanners to buy from. Only problem is just love the smell and feel of each hide and really, really hate to cut them. Still have a gorgeous elk hide that have had for two years and still can't...

    YES-drill bits-I have those-ugh-why didn't I think of them-long enough to hold too. Would a 1/8 drill bit be better or too big ? Some where around here, I have a chart showing millimeter sizes of seed beads, but not sure where right now. Thank you, Mike !!!!!

    Hi Deb, Mike knows I garden-so he used that analogy. I also sew/crochet/knit and do NA leather and beadworK. Plus build computers etc Gauges I understand on many levels, just not the rebuilding teeny tiny electric stuff with the -ohm- language. . Did a lot of electrical wiring for my old...

    YES!! you explained it PERFECT !! And I am using the 32 Kanthal. And yes, I love the vv mini, but there sure is not much space in the head to work in. The machine screw I am using is only about 1/3 inch long ( computer screw) to make wraps with. One needs elf fingers-lol. Wish I had your fly...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Another question-does how thick or thin the wicking is, have any bearing on the ohm thing ? Don't want to blow out my old ego's-although I use the ego twist at just 3.4-3.6 or it gets too hot. So am trying to be safe here. Love the VV mini-

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Thanks to both of you who answered. You all keep trying so many things-but I need to learn everything about ONE thing, and then I jump into the next advancement. This is really fun, actually ( the learning )

    Hi all, got a question here and Mike knows the answer, but he seems to have run past here (his above post ) posted this over on the wicking thread-but he wasn't there either. Every rebuild for my mini vv nova turns out at 2.5 to 2.7ohm (4 out of 6 are 2.7 ) I use the Kanthal and do 5 wraps...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I know most of you probably know the answer for my question here- Every rebuild for my mini vv nova turns out at 2.5 to 2.7ohm (4 out of 6 are 2.7 ) I use the Kanthal and do 5 wraps. Problem is, I want to make 2.0 -2.4 ohm All rebuilds have worked good (so far) good vapor/flavor etc and I use...
