I saw they were up but dont want to spend the cash on it.

It was weird. I was making a post and everything shut down. I see it didnt make it. LOL. Glad we are back and running. Having withdrawls is not good. ;) You cant believe how much time you spend in these forums till you can get on it. Wondering what did I miss? Nothing. HAHAHA!!

Oh and Hello Everybody!!!

Have you read about twisted 32 coil? You should research that in this thread or the reference sheet. That's what I use and it works great! I take the ends of the wire, tighten both under the negative post, twist the wire's loop with the Allen key until its nicely twisted :) coil as usual.

Was it your bottom coil that snapped? It looks a little loose in the picture. Try to get this pretty taunt between the negative post and wick

Your wick is too far from the positive post. Get it as close as you can without touching the positive post.

Ok, where's Fisty? I have another idea for a LE. Another catering to the ladies. I have decided it will be called the ihymen. I think it needs to be a nice pink color. The cap will be engraved with three letters in fanciful style "VJJ". The cut out will be an upside down triangle...around the base will be engraved a nice big cherry.

I think this one will have to have some more technologically advanced features. I want it to have a built in "biological clock" and a series of servos. It will need to be placed on the bed next you and one it gets absolutely freezing cold it will roll up against your back. And for one week of the month it will fire erratically. When you e-mail for tech support during this week and ask what's wrong, an autogenerated email will be sent to you that says "I DON"T KNOW!!!!!"

Sorry dude...
the actual answer to that question is "nothing".

Made a snap decision tonight and placed an order for an iHy while they were up (got my order in around 8pm EST tonight, and i see they're sold out now until the 17th!).

I've used many VV mods, but I've recently decided I'm officially done with cartos and never want to see another one again (same with traditional atties), and after much research and internal debate, here I am.

I tried to justify it to myself by saying "well, whatever keeps me off analogs", but who the hell am I kidding, I did it cuz it friggin' looks cool and I want it. :D

Ginsu sorry I cant really help you. I have those kind of days too. I was going thru the same thing the other day. Gave up till the next day. Then bam! First coil worked. Been using it for 2 days now. I dont want to do anything to it. Im afraid Ill be back to popping those coils again. But I did find the best way for me is to take my wick and put it on a small paper clip and then roll the coil on the wick. Pull it off the paperclip and then fasten it to the screws.
