Come on people!

I'm a freaking foreigner and you are confusing heck out of me...

Grammatically speaking, proper English would use "thought". Thunk is a basterdized American English version that is used on occasion... because "who would have thought it" doesn't sound as good as "who'd uh thunk it?"

No difference, it's a colloquialism - 'folksy' talk like saying 'y'all' instead of 'you all'.
I grew up in Philly, where everyone knows that the plural of you ain't y'all but yous. ;)

And the plural of caboose is cabeese.

Come on people!

I'm a freaking foreigner and you are confusing heck out of me...

Welcome to ESL! I was lucky, though: my folks decided to emigrate from DK to Canada when I was 5 and I decided to go with them;).

Back to the subject at hand: my earlier brag (quoting self from memory here "...I seem to have got the density right...") may have been premature. I don't know whether it has to do with the rayon itself or the way I like to vape, or sheer laziness on my part. The latter 2 are distinct possibilities, but as I may have mentioned elsewhere, I'm still new @ this.

When I opened my Russian after giving it a prolonged stress/endurance test, I found the coil (triple-twisted 28g, 1.5 ohms) was gunked solid in the middle of the coil. Pure carbon, in other words. The wick ends, after running them under the tap (Cdn for faucet), actually looked presentable. But the middle, oh my.

Just for the heck of it, I cleared out what I could without physically destroying my precious coil, but when I fired it up in the hope of burning out the middle, the thing was glowing & smoking long after I cut the power. I have only myself to blame, but I do wonder if my preferences (fairly tight draw, chain vaping, power at 8-11.5w) may have aggravated the situation. The funny thing is, though, despite my e-liquid getting browner & thicker, the carbonized part still worked & vaped fairly well.

Wick density problem, maybe? Bad vaping habits? Not enough wattage/too much wattage? I'm running the Russian on an itaste VTR, and when I change the power setting I go with watts, not volts. Now I'm wondering...well, all kinds of things...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Chick-fil-A has the best southern style sweet tea ;)

I vaped 10ml of NET through a dripper (35 watts) and the wick didn't have any scorching around the coil, either the NET I'm vaping is extremely clean or those with issues are using a bit too much wick. It was a little darker around the coil than the rest of the wick, but not much.

Tust me - most Amuhricans cannot speak their native tongue.
You're doing fine for a Canadian - ignore the faff

Only I'm not Canadian, I'm Russian 100% not 91% :)

And for that reason, subliminally I do not have a single Russian or Russian 91%.
I have bunch of Kayfuns though.
Otherwise people that are thinking: "What is that accent from?" would know right a way: "Oh, it is Russian, it's written on his Mod" :unsure: It's like wearing an name badge: "Hello I'm Russian"
