I guess it depends on how you look at it and if you are going off of 3 hours of sleep, lol. The lower the number, the thicker the wire is, yes. I am thinking (or rather 'was' thinking) in the lower, as in thinner, rather than the actual 'lower' number being thicker. Forgive me, kind sir!

Nothing to forgive, my friend! I see what you were saying now. So is my thinking correct in that a thicker wire would be easier to work with?

Also, I couldn't tell in the pics.. but, do you have one of the legs tucked inside of the grommet (between the grommet and positive post and the other between the grommet and the outer post (negative)?

Yeah, I thread both wires through the body of the nova head, then slip the grommet over one wire, pinching the other wire between the grommet and the outer post, then slip the center post in the grommet, trapping the wire between the center post and the grommet.....

You are correct, sir! Well, in theory anyways.. I really don't notice much of a difference between them, but I know it's there. The thicker wire is definitely more forgiving

Then the only thing I can think of, is it's shorting out somewhere (Duh, Pitt!). My guess would be somewhere along the negative "half" of the coil, if it's jumping that high.. But, I have been known to be wrong..

I'm shocked you didn't crack a zinger on that one.. I spent so much time setting that one up, lol

I was going to......but I was trying to be nice......I was gonna say something about that's not what Jen says.....or I only like my own stiffness in my drawers......or it's not very comfortable having a stiffy in my drawers......but instead I was being nice....

I need to buy some 30awg kanthal or nichrome. So if I were to get some NR wire how exactly would I use it on there? Just wrap the legs in it? What do you use for NR?

Yup, just wrap it around the legs.. I use .999 silver wire. Should be able to get some at Radio Shack or Hobby Town.

Do you use it all the time?

Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2

I used it at first, when doing the nova heads because I was worried about the burning. Don't think I ran into that problem after I stopped using it. I was (am) also using it for the Vivi RA, so I don't have a long positive leg at the top.
