I want one, but am totally with you on this one.....those coils exposed have me freaked. (scardy cat, yeah I know). Also, everyone says to cover them the first time with already melted wax.....got that..what I DON'T get is poking holes before you turn it on in the future. How do you poke holes in completely cooled wax.....or do you poke the holes before it competely cools, or ? Please someone who is a pro with these things, explain this one to me.
