Definitions

A DIY heating coil — usually two razor blades or bits of metal wired to a stripped power cord — dunked straight into a cup of water to boil it. Cooks noodles, brews coffee, makes the pruno warm. Also a great way to electrocute yourself or set the cell on fire, which is why staff confiscate them on sight.
