Thank you. I'm having trouble yes, but much more enjoyment than trouble.

I'm hanging with it. I appreciate the instructions, and will definitely check out the new video (thanks for the link) and see what I can do. Of course, this needs to be after kid activities - when I have some quiet time.
I wear progressive lens and do need a much better light to work with these wicks. Thanks to Vicki's first video, I at least know the makeup of the wick and its "hat".
Also, my atty that was drying does work, it had a burned taste and now it is fine (must have pushed down the wick just right).
My husband has a working atty - it is really producing some awesome
vaping satisfaction. He has two attys out with burned taste, and may or may not let me at them given my recent blunder!
But all is not lost, and I won't give up as too much is at stake. Health over dollars and time!
Appreciate all the support and help!
