    You need a new hiding place for your stuff , and if you come up with one write it down and keep it in your wallet so you won't forget where it's at , at least you still got your IGO .

    speaking of.... I set it up with some additional cotton and loaded it with Temptation.... once you get past the "newness" of the cotton, it really tastes good.... dont care for the explosions tho, takes away from the serinity of the moment.

    That's just the sounds of a happy coil.

    So here's a KFL question. When you connect the coil which side of the screw do you put it on? One side pulls the other pushes. I put it on the pull side or the 9:00 side. Either way the coil gets distorted a little. I've made a washer of sorts to go under the screw on one side as a test. It seems to do the job. But I made it from brass and it was a pain. I'm going to get a strip of SS and try it. The thing I'm trying to do is keep the coil from moving when you tighten it.

    I use the 9:00 side too, where the wire wraps with the direction the screw is turning. As for the distortion, I just give it a good squeeze, and live with the micro millimeter gap at the ends. ;)

    I do it clockwise:

    If you wrap it the other direction (counter-clockwise), it tries to spit the wire out as you tighten down the screw.
