    Many European electricians - and plenty of non-electrician idiots like me - will have had 240vac shocks, which are probably similar just a bit more nippy and will get worse faster than 110vac. I think the human body is also a weird electrical resistor that goes down with voltage.

    I’d not describe it as ‘wonderful’ or a ‘slight tingle’. It’s a pretty fierce bite. shocking is the word I’d use.

    I’d think if I’d had a few and got used to it, or if i knew it was coming maybe i’d downplay that a bit. But i’ve tightened up my unplugging process now (dayglow tape) to be sure i’ve unplugged the right plug. It was enough to know I don’t want another unexpected 240vac zap.

    I’d be pretty east to wrap 2 loops and 1 . . . no , leave that to electroboom.
