    I was wondering when they added the bubbles if it would allow the current to jump from one bond to another but that did not happen.

    I must admit I would have never thought of doing that.

    Just wait until the oil heats up, starts to vaporize, and then somebody lights up a cigarette. Then it will be really fun to watch. You could call it your "smoking cessation class".
