My problem is that mine seems to be cooking faster than it used to. Weird.

Er, don't want to alarm you to much, but it may be about to break. I had one that did this. I assumed the insulation started to fail in mine, in the coil thing that powers it. that why it got more powerful before burning out altogether, but I'm not sure.

Do Vladikavkaz (rule Caucasus) and Vladivostok (rule the East) qualify?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]
