One thought on my mind after catching up on this thread....
Why clean those Vivi heads??? It's too much hassle. It costs less than 16¢ to rebuild and only a minute and a half of your time (once you get the hang of it) and if that isn't your thing, buy them in bulk. Nothing tastes better than...
I have one of those knock off VNs. Didn't know it was a knock off when I bought it. I used it two whole days before I threw it on the junk drawer. Bad/burnt taste and crappy build all together. If that had been my first experience with a Nova, I would have never bought another one... no...
What is your take on that little mesh shroud over the stock coils? I remember you and Bronze saying you throw them away? I have tried it with and without and can't really see the purpose in it. The only shorting issues I have ever had was when I accidentally cross the kanthal UNDER the coil.
The blow gun dart is a small, yet supremely stiff wire. I wrap my wire around the wick and dart to get a better tightness and consistency of my wraps, then simply pull out the dart. There are thousands of ways and everyone is different, but this way works flawlessly for me.
You can do that here as well. I have done that before, but for now, the only food bank I am depositing into is my deep freeze. If we all tag out, I will donate for sure. We can only eat about 4 deer a year.
At the local processor, you can allot a certain amount if you want.
I am not going back and reading 97 pages of this thread (first time). I have been here long enough to guess what has happened... unless Heather created a new Gandalf or something. Thanks to all for keeping this thread going whilst I was away. :toast:
Never tried Nichrome wire. But I can rebuild a coil like a boss! HEAVILY stocked on supplies via ebay. No offense, but if you are buying your recoiling supplies (wick and wire) anywhere else, you are getting ripped off.
16 pages behind and I am shutting the puter down and heading out for the #1 redneck holiday (deer season). Might be back Sunday... Monday... Who knows. I am sure this thread will probably have a few thousands post on it by then. No way will I ever take the time to catch up. So... if you...
