Yeah it really does but I think I found my groove tonight. Can't wait until the next chance I get to build.

Really nice bro!!
I’m working on my SS316L fraliens right now... going to be a real popular option once the DNA250c becomes more readily available..

EDIT the alien coil ended up ohming at .09 after cooling down.
My first shot at an alien! 3*24g ss316l, 36g n80, bout .14ohms. The wrapping has gaps where I backed it off a couple times, but I’m pretty happy. It has so good spots on the outer wraps.
Also, usps lost my swivels
here’s my temporary setup lol. Raymo’s clamps fit perfect in this fidget spinner bearing. Just stuck some wire through the hole on the other side.
Got these coming in the mail just gonna make my own swivel.

Thanks man! I've done better but it wasn't a bad attempt. Just gotta keep learning and becoming more consistent. The new drill is pretty cool.

Just want to make sure you know those Bones Reds are just 2 ball bearings, no wheel
Yea I’m gonna mount one in something like a piece of wood and find a dowel that fits through the hole. Kind of like the spinLT swivel. And if my krok swivels ever show up, I’ll have two different styles.

I use the discs also.
As you say to keep the scratches off my mods.
But I first started using them on my bottom fill tanks.
They helped keep the juice out of my 510 in case the fill screws seeped.
I thought it was just two metal balls, my mistake - I shoulda gotten something like that, I thought they were way more expensive
Now I'm broke
Ugh that alien coil was ohming at .09. noticed when I checked it when I went to rebuild. Ampking 20700 didn’t get hot though that’s nice. Still I told my self .12 bottom limit.
Bunched up a 26g alien attempt. Tried quad 28g fused Clapton, they bunched up too. Gotta work on my sliders.
So I made this triple twist 26g wrapped in 36g all n80 as fast as I could lol so I would have a coil to use. .22 ohms

Looks great. If you’re like me, you watched the videos, took your time, made a really good first try, then tried to make it too perfect and messed it up. Lol

You should invest in some Patinos Alien Makers. Best sliders I ever used.

Thank you!! Back at it this morning.
That's DAMN clean for a first build. Way to go man. Try fused claptons next! Just take two wires, maybe 26g and tapes them together at the ends and then clapton them the same as you did the one wire. The boost in flavor is tremendous.
My biggest suggestion to you would be to learn how to stack ribbon properly. Your whole coil building (& vaping) experience will change once you can successfully make framed staple Clapton’s.... of course keep practice on doing the Clapton’s wraps though, you’ll need to perfect that skill more then anything... but to be honest, I have a feeling your in the fast lane when it comes to coil building!

I think they were fused claptons!

Again, Thank you!! I had an issue with the cores snapping mid was through the Clapton process. (at the drill chuck) Not sure when I straightened the wire, I did it to much? very frustrating.

That's happened to me before, usually it was not getting the two 28 strands right perfectly in the middle of the chuck, or the drill is not facing the swivels at a straight angle, or the chuck had a gap in the middle and the cores pulled apart when I put tension on them from the swivel end, so they were rubbing against the edges of the chuck until they snapped. Carambra suggests putting masking tape between the cores and the chuck, or tightly binding the cores at the drill end before putting them in to keep them tight and not rubbing against the chuck edges
Could also put a hair pin or other loop in the drill chuck if you keep having problems with the cores breaking, or put less sideways tension on the cores from the wrap wire when claptoning them

Thanks a bunch. It does hold better with frames than without and not much more to it. Not to learn to space clapton wire and staggered maybe. Gonna make more of these to get tigher wraps. Just looks loose.

Thanks KingPin!! I'm very new to this. Got my Aspire Breeze two months ago and tried my first Clapton yesterday. What would be some suggestions for my next build? I've got the single round downSpot on builds jboss, very nicewhat’s next in your build checklist?
That's great man that's a super clean build that will give you a super nice vape. Great job.
Next place to go in my opinion would be fused claptons, tiger wire and claptoned tiger wire. They're all around the same difficulty and will also give you a taste of how different wires act upon heating the juice. They're also some of the least time consuming builds so you can knock them out pretty quicklyThanks KingPin!! I'm very new to this.

That's a great looking coil. Great job. Framed Staples are so much easier to wrap! If you try it with a higher gauge binding you might mitigate that "loose" effect. When I clapton I cut a piece so I don't have to clapton from the spool (unless I'm just going for a decore) and I hold my hand close to the cores with a very slight angle leaning backwards that seems to get me a real tight binding.My first framed staple coil.

The pic looks like a fused clapton to me mate?

Ey, try 3 cores next of the next higher gauge up wire! that'll get you ready for aliens, learning to set up three cores or more and keep them straight and not bunch up while wrapping, practicing your gentle wire holding technique
Edit: You might try three cores with the same gauge first, not trying to rush you mate but you're already doing really clean work
So it was haha, I only looked at the writing saying tried first Clapton and assumed it was a straight Clapton :/ pays to pay attention lol. It does look twisted though so maybe try to achieve the flat fused Clapton to prepare for Aliens and the next steps??

Yes, the hair grip trick is also good. It starts after about 1 minute in the video:

welcome to the party @jboss10 beautiful first builds
super nice framed staples @Wtmke1
nice first alien @chrisakasparky. those gaps will go away as you get a feel for the wrapping process man. great progress
@Carambrda whats the specs on that monster? is it vapable or just a 'display build'?

Only say that as with Aliens last thing you want is twisted cores. Although alien wrap can actually help to keep the cores flat, that realisation and execution rarely land on the first attempt. At least with myself it wasn't that immediate lol

It's kind of a pain to get the top cap to push onto the deck. Have to line the slots up perfect. I'll post a pic later. LOVE the SILVER DECK and Titanium cap.
Rarely on first attempt. Tell that to the boss lady pegleg meg. Master every coil first time just about.
