That's what I'm going to try. Due to my eyesight and my no longer nimble fingers, installing a coil can be a challenge. It used to be so simple.
But won't 28 gauge wire be harder than 26 for you both to see and to handle since it's thinner?

    Do you have a recipe in mind for the Blueberry gummy candy?

    I never really expected to like a lime mix, but this one is yummy.
    Years ago I vaped a ton of peppermint/lime. I burnt out on the lime but not the peppermint.I guess lime is gone for good cause I still can’t vape it.

    I see that Lime Drink is not yet in the blog. Time to remedy that:

    Lime Drink (recipe by Max Savage, on AtF; first posted as a link by @Redbird11)

    3% VTA Shisha Lime
    0.25% CAP Super Sweet
    6% VTA Yogurt Drink

    Steep 2 or 3 days.

    Not really. I can see both just not real close up to see if the wire will get trapped by the screw.

    Ohmygosh I am glad you are ok !

    A few years back I was at my sisters. Her neighbor (in his late 70s) had been trimming trees all morning.
    I was outside and happened to be watching, as he was about 15 feet up sawing a branch.
    All of a sudden it dawned on me...
    I went running as fast as I could yelling STOP-STOP-STOP !!!

    He was sawing the branch on the tree side of that ladder !
    OMG !!!

    Old guys sometimes have trouble getting that things have changed. Years back I was walking the dog and came across an old neighbor, he had trees hanging over the road and he wanted to trim them. He parked his truck under the trees and stood some old wooden stepladders on the bed of the truck. When I got there he was standing on the very top of the stepladder whacking away with a chainsaw. Another neighbor was already there and we tried to talk him down. Said we would bring some big ladders over and do it for him. The other guy had a pole saw. He wouldn't listen though. He was late 70's then, late 80's now. He still thinks he's 20 something.

    The lighter gauges aren't as stiff, even after annealing.

    Maybe something along these lines?

    Weird, but it does go to the right place. :eek:

    Ok, I have a question. What gauge wire are you guys using? 26 gauge used to be my go to so I bought some. Due to fingers working not the best I find it rather hard to work with.

    I used 26 and 28 for years. Now it's 28 for almost everything. Just keep the 26 for an RDA. 28 is definitely easier to work with.

    So I mixed this up.

    Rum VT 1%
    Condensed Milk Cap 2%
    Coconut RF 1%
    Sweet Cream TFA 1%

    Not jumping up and down excited trying it fresh mixed, but not grossed out either :lol:
    I may need to bring the coconut more forward, but I'll wait a week and see.
    I know the Condensed Milk isn't real great fresh mixed too so...that will need to settle.
    Also, there is something "plastic" I am picking up and hoping fades away with steeping - what ever is causing it.

    I wonder if it's the coconut... most of them fresh either taste like plastic or sun tan lotion. It will probably steep out.

    I have had that or something very like that for years. I could never get used to trying to work under the light. I’m going to dig it out and try it again. There has to be a better way….LOL

    Doubt I could install a coil these days without those flip down magnifiers. Once I could but not any more.

    Someone posted pics where they had cut V shaped grooves across the top of the post under the screw head, supposed to keep the wire in place when you tighten the screw. I haven't tried it yet but I saved the pics. I can post them if you want.
