Get thee behind me, Satan
I just hope it doesn't read the coil's resistance lower as my SXK 60 Flask does, it can be "adjusted" to work OK but most Ni coils will read under what it will fire at. I haven't used Ni for quite some time.
I pulled it from the pile and am proceeding to check it.
AA in Escribe says 0.352 ohms, SXK flask says 0.29 ohms.
Edit: It worked OK and felt good in the hand, it's been awhile.

If you ever doubted that these guys are a paid service, well check it out.
He has a spat with a "Client" & makes a video!
I bet this cotton would have got the "best cotton ever review" if thing would have went better between them :(


That's in addition to the YouTube money, but Idk what ...'s stats are. I do know you can get decent money with less than you'd think... A freind of my gf's runs one for vids from her twitch streams & when she first started it had low subs <1000, at that time she was still making $200 a week, that's when she first started, later on when her subs increased she was making around $1000+ a week, that's just off monetized recordings of her twitch videos, no editing or prep required and that's without ad revenue. don't let them fool you, a lot of times they complain and say "donations are the only way I can keep doing this, if I don't get enough I guess I'll have to quit" first of all they ain't gonna quit their easy gig, second, they get a decent chunk in the little check from Google each month so if they are living outside their means that's on them. Imo.

Encourage your brother to learn those things, I self taught myself computers, I did it because I refused to pay someone else to fix them for me. Wasn't long and I was building my own, other then a couple I've built and upgraded all my desktops.

As far as cars, he can start with the simple things, changing oil, brakes, belts and hoses and from there he'll build knowledge and confidence. Got to jump in there and do it, make the mistakes, that's how you learn. Now that I not working as a mechanic I use ALLDATAdiy.com Leading Source of Factory Automotive Repair Information for all my repair manuals, these are factory manuals, not aftermarket. Every step is laid out with pictures, diagrams and troubleshooting flowcharts and even factory recalls and service bulletin updates. If you can read then you can fix it! They always have discount codes, you can search for them and once signed up they will email you renewal codes, I always pay about $13 to renew or add another vehicle. Here's one I just found, $20 for the first manual, code DIYDISCOUNT

I know, my sister and I have tried to help him but I think he's past the point of learning certain things. He's asked me to build a gaming rig for him, which I did and he's capable of doing minor upgrades now that it's all together, & he has a pos tiburon that I've helped him change timing belts, brakes etc but when I'm showing him that stuff he gets a glazed over look in his eye.

Basically without figuring costs, he's had 1k views in 24hrs and has 100k subs, the guy in the vid says they paid him $450 total for the review to go to the top of the queue, so that's in addition to the $200 or so he'll receive from Google (just for the views he's had in the day the vid's been published).

Without factoring in future earnings that's where he stands at right now, $650 for making one video. Keep in mind he's also got a patreon account & that gets posted w/ all his videos as well.

Google decreased recently how much they're willing to pay and ofc all the YouTubers complain but it's still very good for basically what is a hobby. All that considered, imo it's kind of douchey for him to make a vid like that one.
