are you all spelling elixirs "elixers" because my nick is spelled that way or something? i don't think one person has got the brand name right yet! ;)

(note: my nick has nothing to do with the guitar strings formerly known as "elixirs")

I'm a dedicated elixir user (btw, i always spell it "elixir") and I never have problems breaking strings. Maybe it's because of the picks i use (Dunlop nylon .60mm), or maybe it's something else.

I enjoy how slippery they are and I love the tone.

By the way, the guitars that i try out in the store, when plugged in, have a really metallicy sound when sliding, would using elixirs stop that? Or maybe messing with the amp EQ or pickup EQ? Cuz I really don't like it. Also I thought maybe a feedback blocker would block some of that sound, too. Any thought?
