Ugh, they just annouced lattamore has a dislocated knee. Hope he can recover

Yeah, that's probably one of the better diagnoses he could have hoped for after seeing it many times. Anything else would have probably ended his career. Probably wont be back this season, but at least he should be able to return next year.

There is more room in there to work with, than it looks. One I have a 2.6 ohm coil and the other I have a 1.4 ohm coil. I actually find it a bit easier to wrap coils in the ChiDs than in the Phoenixes or V3s that I have.

I agree....way more room on the chid compared to the phoenix....
My first stainless on the phoenix is pissing me off.
I think I nailed the wick....It's beautiful....
Coiling on a phoenix is a pta.....
The Coiling with silica I've done on the chid was way easier and I expect Coiling with a ss mesh on the chid will be easier.

My first wick and coil on the phoenix started out great...but find I have to constantly fiddle with it. Since it doesn't have a "wick hole" the vertical wick wobbles all over...short city....

Still fun to play around with however....except I suspect the shorts are compromising my batts. 1 day and charging time has gone WAY up...

High drain batts are better equipped to handle the RAs..just as an FYI. Don't know what you are using them on, though.

The wobbly mesh wick is why I just did a horizontal with mine.

GO STEELERS!

Aw's......ill figure it out...I'm kinda stupid about techno stuff.......
Hell...I'm just kinda stupid. But I'm not a-scared to try:laugh:

AW IMRs should be stellar for that application. You might have a short somewhere though..that can cause erratic batt behavior

Oh yeah...started out stellar.....I was very proud of my wick and coil....
Didn't take long for the shorts...very visible...

Something to work on. Not sure the phoenix is a good set-up for verticals...may try it horizontal with a tampon...:D
Or whatever else will wick nicely. That 1000 feet of cotton I have might come in handy here.....

Lol, is it sad that tampon was the first thing that came to mind?

Sadly, no..I usually wish I did, that way I can proclaim ignorance and be on my merry way. But, alas, I'm stuck being omniscient!

Omniscient....lol...or omnipotent???? I consider you to be both:toast:

Just quick twisted up a braided #34 nichrome coil....
Quickly put it on the phoenix.......
.... ugly....fired up immediately from end to end:D....

We'll see if it lasts more than 5 minutes....

I have now discovered why I don't post much in "this thread" at least ... I can't keep up with you guys. LOL No more than I have a thought and try to get it typed out, there are 4 more pages to read through. LMAO! Apparently, I really need to invest in "tapatalk" or whatever that app is so I can keep up on my phone .... :)

Tapatalk 2 is a great little app!

Glad you stopped by, Nette! You have a chance to watch the Falcons, Lions or Steelers games?

I have not actually, been sitting in the computer room today actually and trying some different juices ... some steeped, some not steeped ... some good, some not so good. LOL And I know I'm going to get thrashed for this, but I'm a ............. wait for it ........... Chicago Bears fan. HA HA HA! Yes, I know Jay Cutler is a whiny baby with an attitude who chokes at the first chance he gets, but I didn't pick him <heh> Sad part about it, I have some form of bad luck gene ... I love to watch them play, but even if they are up by 3 touchdowns if I turn the channel to watch, suddenly they lose, so I just wait until they are done and then check the score. LOL

Of course, the Falcons, Lions and/or Steelers are much better than the KC Queefs, Denver Donkeys, or Boy, I Love Losing Superbowls (BILLS) - tee hee hee
