Only problem is your arms are strapped down at your side. They leave the room and a door about 10" thick closes behind them. 3 of them are in a little booth with a 2 way mirror behind it and the Kitchenaid does its thing. Ginny and my support dog Sophie will be waiting. This is the longest of the 5, so get past this one the rest will be easier, I hope.Nice looking setup all around. Good luck with your procedure tomorrow, Pat. They should let you vape to help you relax (hey, it's worth a shot).
@MikeE3 I'm considering trying SS in these Primes and see how they work on TC but still not sure. The Kanthal is nice in that like the one I'm using with my Custard flavor which has a tendancy to gunk up faster, I can just burn it off and its like new almost. The SS when you do that kind of loses its properties and isn't as good. I forgot how easy Kanthal was to do that with. Had to do that one last night. I think I'll probably just be using the Siren 2s, the Primes, and the Kabukis. I still get a little blood with the K5's they still let a lot of air in making much more vapor and I saw a little blood last night which I don't get with the ones that cut the air from the air intake, so I may be can only use those. I'm giving my Russian flavors another try also since my lungs feel better. The antibiotic seems to have done its job. Oh plus I have Kanthal in every thickness from 26 to 30 and plent of each one but 28 seems pretty good. Never really tried 29 but I have it. Kind of makes my TC mods that I have a lot into unneeded except for the fact they seem smoother on VW, might even break out a Provari who knows. Have to figure out how many volts equals the 8.5w I'm using with a 1.5ohm coil. And I have to figure out how to use them again. I have 3 2.5s 2 almost new one actually is new. It's funny the DNA's actually seem smoother slightly then the SX's.

I like 29g Kanthal ... it's stiffer than 30g so easier to wick w/ rayon without distorting the coil. And, I need a wrap or 2 less than 28g when making 1.5-1.8Ω coils.
Yep I’m going to try one SS one Kanthal and see what I like best. Cyberknife was easy nothing bad so far and not expecting anything so another tomorrow.

Gotta ask, did your nose itch? View attachment 710147
Just glad it wasn't what you thought it could of been!
@MikeE3 Now I see where your coming from with putting the wire under the ears, I am going to choose that way also. I didn't even know if 26ga was going to fit but it does. Wow those decks are small. I'm going to wait till tomorrow to work on them. Got the extensions on and tightened on will wash them tomorrow and attempt a build. Don't know if I could get 26 between the screw and the ear to do it that way anyway and looks like a big hassle. For some reason I thought they were going to be more like the K5 but those build decks are tiny. Glad you told me about that way I'd of probably been throwing things trying to get the 26 in there not sure I can get 6 wraps in there. AT least with 26 28 should go but I don't know about 7 which is what it takes to get 1.5 might have to use 29 also.
Thanks for the heads up. The extensions work perfect looks like a K5 on the out side. Threads seem good but man that bottom piece was on tight had to use 2 sets of pliers to get them apart but all the threads are really good even on the extensions. Good work for $100 less.

No my nose didn't itch but that rubber under my head even through the sheet made the back of my head itch. Plus my iPhone stopped playing music for some reason about halfway thru. Had a heck of a time getting their attention, I was waving my hand what I could and kept saying does anybody hear me, nope they couldn't here me yet but they caught the hand wave finally and the 10" door swung open and the gal came in and said do you need anything, told her yes my music stopped could she please turn Pandora on with 60s and 70s rock and she said no problem and told me only 10 more minutes, she went out and the big door swung closed and some 60s soul music came on, think it was Sittin by the dock of the Bay. I was good again. Not sure why the iPhone stopped will give it another try tomorrow. This time I'll give them instructions if they see my hand waving turn on Pandora, if they hear me screaming in agony theres something else.

I resemble that cartoon.
Awesome! It certainly caught on.
Don't think I would have been brave enough to try it though.Steven King? Had to look it up. His stories scared the
outta me, and that was just the movie.I file it in the hollow spot between my ears, easy when you don't use flavors. When I started mixing with flavors, everyone said use a notebook, so I did. Then the notebook disappeared.
Back up your notes.Glad it went well and hope it continues to. Does the machine make a lot of noise like CTs or MRIs? I always tell them I don't want music and then regret it. If they were going to hogtie me for that long I'd need music and a tranquiler. Congratulations one making it through the session and hope the rest of the treatments are a cakewalk.
PS, since there's no sympathy option, I gave you the funny due to the visual of you frantically waving your hand. I've been locked on the wrong side of that door and wondered if everybody had left the building.
Yeah It makes a lot of noise when its getting to the right position gets kind of close to your head at times. He told me if it gets to close don't look at it and try to follow it because then you will move just close your eyes. OK. I would definately recommend this over cracking your chest and having surgery. I've got a kind of sore spot in my chest this morning and I was beat by the time I went to bed. I kind of wish I had gone with every other day instead of every day, but today I know what to expect. It hits the spot from 250 different angles and makes a sound like a camera shutter when its giving its radiation. Some spots it will hit it 5 times others once or twice. Sometimes it makes noise like tires screeching on pavement not quite as loud. For me music is a must keeps your mind off of what is happening. There are no marks where the radiation went in at least from yesterday. I'll be glad when its over tho. The weather is good for the drive, roads are dry. The whole room is kind of noisy with fans blowing on the equipment, I suppose to keep them cooled. They will give you a warm blanket if you want but the room is about 75 so no real need, for me at least. Hey I get to keep my special shirt. Wow I wrote this and fell asleep guess I'll post it. Like I said makes you tired.
Well I'm going to give the primes a try at building when I get home. Fell asleep and now got to get ready to go to treatment #2. Hope it goes as well as yesterday.
@MikeE3 want to get your expert opinion about this. Do you think if I am building a TC build it will screw it up by going around the ears instead of directly to the screw given it changes your resistance so much. I don't know how much you can unscrew the screw without it coming completely out and thats pretty much what I'd have to do to get the wire around the screw. I know Busardo did it but he didn't show it on the review so I'm not sure or I should wait to try TC till I can get some 28 or 29ga SS. I know that on a Kanthal build of 1.6-1.8 no biggie but on a SS build that is normally .35 or so that is a big difference.
Specifically, it's part of the Dark Tower/Gunslinger series - don't think any of that particular book made it into the recent movie.Steven King? Had to look it up. His stories scared the
Well the screws were long enough for the 26 so here is my build 6 wraps 2.5mm 26gaSS .45ohms
And the final product with extensions
Kind of disappointed on the smallest AF it's a little looser then the Siren 2 on #3. I guess I was expecting a tighter draw.
