What should I be seeing here, Russ or......am I having a senior moment?
No Roger, you're not having a senior moment. That was just a new atty I got and thought I'd throw it down.
Actually I got 4 new attys !

I don't HAVE to change every 3 days, but that's when I see the blackish, worn out look of the Kanthal. I notice more battery usage to compensate for the slower fire up time.

My definition of Senior Moment:: The moment you realize things have changed so drastically in this world... you feel like an outsider -- looking in. That my friend,... can happen at 40.![]()
I just built this little freak yesterday I just got it yesterday too. I'll prolly rebuild it again if I get bored, to make a vid or to change resistance.
Usually it's a combination thereof that constitutes a rebuild for me.

Hey what Atty is that?? How do you like it compared to the Odin??
I use a coil until it breaks or I notice a marked decrease in performance. I don't know the reasons behind it, but an old coil that has been dry-burned over and over, even though it reads what it's supposed to, has really diminished performance. I've been running the same coils in my Derringer for a month. I've re-wicked a few times and dry-burned at the same time, this morning being one of them, and it just isn't hitting like it used to. So, I'll go ahead and rebuild it. I won't redo good coils unless it's a new atty and I'm not liking the build I put on it.

Not my picture, but freakshow mini converted to bottomfed. I've never used it, but have been curious about it.
Whew, thanks man. Once you've had a senior moment or two, you see them around every corner.
Nice attys but is the one on the left drip-tip impaired?![]()
I have a coil set up that is almost two months old. It gets a new wick every three or four days along with a dry burn and a dunk in water while still glowing. After this bath, the coil looks as good as the day it was first fired.
I do tend to swap out my other coils not because it is needed, but because I like to wrap some coil while I still have the dexterity.
The dunking in water while glowing interests me. Why did you decide to do this? What differences did you see after you started dunking?
I had to laugh at your making coils while you have the dexterity. I told the luckiest woman in the world, Mrs CMD-KY, that I wish I had started learning to make coils while I still had the eyes for eye-hand coordination.
