I just watched the vid on rebuilding coils. It actually doesn't look that difficult provided I get something to assist with pee-poor eyesight and take my med so my hands don't shake.
that and find a cat-free environment in which to practice the art of coil building (and pick up an ohmmeter or multimeter) I go through a lot of coils because i can taste when they start to get gunked up and probably change them out more often than some people do.

Which coils, NoLo? Small ones like Kangers are small and a tad fiddly, but not hard. True rebuildables are easier, with the advantage (among many advantages for a lot of us
) that you don't need to recoil every time you clean. Just snip out the old wick, dry burn the coil, put in a new wick and it's good as new.. Depending on flavor and gunkiness, I may do that after just a tank or two (4.5 - 9 ml in my KFs). Quick and easy, and wick is cheap. (I picked up the 500' box from Sally's 
)We have 2 cats atm, one a long hair, and I have no problems with hair. Of course, you don't want them playing with a coil of kanthal...
Lighted magnifiers can be helpful, and Harbor Freight has one for soldering that works well. LED lights, weighted base, inexpensive. Some prefer magnifier glasses. In any event, a good strong light is important.

Thanks Kattykins, it did have a red band on but somehow it didn't look right.
I went to Walmart and got 3.00 magnification reading glasses. Later, I ended up getting a jeweler's headset.
I use the reading glasses the most.
Hope helps

I also have insomnia (frequently) and restless legs (pretty much all the time). I'm the opposite of you, however. When my legs are really bad restless they feel like they are freezing! I'll dig up some of my spouse's athletic socks trying to get my feet warm. It helps some. I live in Florida and it's really hot here..plus we have a window A/C that isn't exactly a top performer. But my feet do get cold and that irritates the syndrome thing. When I've had really bad attacks I've even resorted to some compression stockings I got last time I was in the hospital (last March).
My Restless Leg Syndrome is starting to Hurt kinda bad.. First feels like pins & needles then pain comes along... dang Genes..
Dr. gives me clonazepam....I guess it helps. Seems to. Right now I'm in a sort of Medicare no-man's-land with my insurance. Hopefully it can get sorted soon...I'm nearly out of my prescription!

I found HF's magnifying visor more useful than the "helping hands" gizmo for soldering -- the magnification is EXTREME!

And I find that, when I'm changing my blister-packed coils, if I tilt the coil INTO the light, it provides a slightly better view of when the liquid drips out the bottom.
And I usually remove the old coil first, making it a bit easier to insert the new one immediately after priming.

Restless legs (actually kind of restless body now) is how my Parkinon's tremor first manifested itself. I've been taking ropinirole for it for about 10 years. Since my other symptoms have progressed, though, I had to add sinemet, and now the restlessness is back with a vengeance. A new drug called rotigotine helped a lot, until I ran out of the free samples. I have prescription insurance, but the stuff would still cost me $30/day!
Now I'm taking time released ropinirole, but it's still not covering me at night. Gotta call the doctor.
Anyway, I spent the weekend concocting ejuices. Capella's cantaloupe is really good at 15%!

Capella's Cantaloupe is really nice but it's even better with 5% Sweet Cream added
My husband has the "full-body JUMPS" every 3 minutes while sleeping; the ropinarole was only marginally effective... and then we lost our health insurance. He goes thru the VA now, for his hypertension meds, but I dunno if they would cover ropinarole. I did some online research into "sleep disorders of middle-aged men," and one thing I found that was at least a partial factor with ALL of them, is iron-deficiency anemia. I remembered he said he suffered that as a child, so I thought, maybe it's back, but so slightly that it doesn't really show as a problem when he has a blood count? So he tried taking some iron... IMMEDIATE fix. But then he started getting medicated for the hypertension and they told him to knock off the iron. At that point, our only fix was separate bedrooms -- we tried separate beds in the same room, but that didn't help the snoring problem at all, I'd still feel the urge to put the pillow over his face every night.
So separate bedrooms -- and now we can both sleep thru the night without a lot of screaming. Andria
