Equally up the swivel end could do what I do with aliens I grab my coil master tool wack in the 1.5mm bit and parralel wrap the wires a couple of times (bare) then hook onto swivel ..when hooked I move the leg bit left over over the wires so they hold in place

I polished up the Reload RDA Top Cap and threw a Hybrid in it...just got 2 Reload RTA's in also and I love it...the draw it a little tight but I havent played around with it enough to see if it was my coil placement or not yet...we'll see but for now here's their RDA.

nice work @f4milytime , @SignMan , @KingPin! @Jdestroyed @raymo2u @scarecrowjenkins @Clee2010 :cheers: nothing nicer than coming home from an eleven hour shift of back breaking work to see all the glorious success. i love you guys <3

@KingPin! i remember seeing your first build in another thread and getting the feeling i should escort you personally into this thread. glad you came out dude its great to see your progress.

@lcgixxer87 i prefer staple varieties (naked, plain, alien, framed, staggs, alien framed etc) for the most part. i find that plain alien wraps vape better than mohawks/stitched/interlock etc, despite the former looking so beautiful (this is the diminishing returns area imo). if youre not up to aliens or staples, like @BKTOAD said, fused claptons are almost in the ballpark, and much easier to make (though, if you can stack some ribbon wire, plain staples are only a little harder to deal with...and clear improvement in vape)...stick around, we need all the minds we can get in here sharing tips and glorious coil porn :cheers:
We <3 you too brother! Keep rockin'! :bingo:

Dropped a quick series build in the Goon 22. Snatched it up off of the Twisted Messes website. This thing is perfect for series builds on my beloved Cricket. Yeah, i still use this mod almost every day haha...

Howzit Bros, Started practicing with ribbon wire. Made this 6x.5k/26k frame/36n wrap. Single is .2ohms, I ripped a wrap on the bottom while strumming though. Anyways GodBless you guys.

Staged/Staple&Clapton 1st try. My buddy sent me a pic and said "hey can you build me this one?" Sure no problem its just a couple staples and a clapton wrapped parallel. But what a pain to coil!!! This was the test coil and i changed it up by using 3 diffrent guage wraps. Its.4 ribbon 10ply/44gN80, 6ply/40gN80 & 26gK/36N80, 4mm. The KA1 helped keep it over .2ohm

Wrapping it was a challenge made a couple screw ups and broke the 44g in one spot. I did wrap them all at the same time to keep the spacing right. Any tips from the more experienced guys out there? And what is it really called?

I would wrap the staple first, then wrap the Clapton between the wraps of the first coil, it's the best way to keep it all tight. It's a bit of a pain but it'll get ya the best results

Only on the Vape Block App in the App Store (Iphone and Android)

Unfortunately after all the FDA BS.. Vape Block won't ship to my state (Utah). I've had problems with a lot of sites not being able to ship Juice here, but they can send hardware. I think Vape Block just has the entire state flagged. I ended up finding a vape shop in California that had it, ordered it over the phone, and it should ship today though :) This will be my 1st RTA so I'm pretty stoked about it.

Did some grooves last night too. 24/34,2p.4 framed in 28, 40n80. Having troble with these too. Doing the final wrap it just doesnt want to consistently fall into the grooves.

Still gonna pull a wrap or two off the coil before i mount em.

Was it all on one side when you fused it or did it fuse on both sides?

Nice builds everyone, I've been on a bad luck streak as of late and nothing has been working out although I'm getting the hang of paraclap on round wire, but my ribbon ends up getting a slight twist when I try with it. I think my ball bearing swivels could be too big or perhaps getting worn out. I have a new set waiting but I don't know if its that or my tension.

Do you mean did the center core and ribbon shift while fusing? No not up and down...but mabey the center is shifting from one side of the frame to the other! Ahh haaaa! Light bulb!! Thats probably why itll go neat and easy for a while, catching every groove and for no apparent reason itll skip grooves or just ignore the groves all together.

I mean did the back and front get groove fused?

With something as big as 24g it seems like it would be harder.
When I made my first one it was 32/32 clapton framed with 6ply 0.4 and 28g then fused with 38g.
Basically all I had to do was keep the tension and angle and fuse it as fast as the drill would go.

The second attempt was with 36g and 46g but I never posted it because the core was too big and it pushed up past the ribbon when I took a wrap off.

Im sorry i just realized the pic i posted illustrates nothing relating to my question. It took foever to get it like that cause i had to constantly back up and redo. Next time i make one (mabey sunday) ill post a pic of the stick in the general coil building thread and if you would be so kind we can start up the q&a again. Thank you so much!

What rda is that mate?
Blitz Enterprises Hannya RDA. Unfortunately, the wire was too thick for it to vape efficiently, so I switched to a single-core Clapton. On a side note, I love the postless build deck on the RDA! It builds on easily and it's enjoyable to do, too. :)

Uggh...finally got it...although I only made enough for one coil...

20 mins of prep, tape, tension and 15 seconds of clapton...started the wrap...went slow at first didn't see cores budge...then let her rip.

cbdaaabce2ae4f47643c9c8c0b93fc7e.jpg


28x3N80x36N80 3mm 6wrap

Think I'll enjoy this small victory before I Murphy myself and blow through a spool of 36 attempting another lol


EDIT: Made a second one a few hours later...the one was taunting me...vaping on them now in my SOI Shorty... Dropped it to 5 wraps for the .15

I decided to experiment and do whatever came to mind. I don't know what this kind of coil is called -- I took a length of 26ga single core and Clapton-ed over it with 38ga wrap. Once I finished Clapton-ing, I snipped the resulting Clapton wire in half. I then twisted the two lengths of Clapton together into a sort of helix. I haven't vaped on it yet, that will be coming soon. What is this coil called?

@EMusic it looks like you need to move your coils over one post hole to the right, so that your high legs are in the higher post holes and your low/bottom legs are in the center post holes. that should center the coils and get them into a better alignment with the airflow on the barrel.

i cant remember if there was a name for twisted claptons. i think if you twist them with a ribbon wire its a tiger coil? cant be sure on that, there were a lot of similar/slightly different twisted builds with names (reef, tiger, tidal etc) that i could never keep straight.

Thanks for the correction! I'll do that next time. :)

EMusic's Fuck It Coil ;-)

Made a few of those...attempting to perfect Aliens...cores collapse and I just say fuck it, and run them...Coil up the triangle looking Clapton
LOL. Well, to be honest, you're not far off. I am only able to do Claptons and Fused Claptons and twisted coils because I am simply not getting exactly how to do (for example) Alien coils and other exotic coils, even with youtube videos on how to do them, so I figured I'd try to do something simple and somewhat different than my usual Clapton and so I made what I posted above. It vapes pretty good, so it's not a loss! :)

I am no good at making Aliens...but I know now its all about prep...although I finally made my first working pair today, and vaping them...

Not long ago I attempted to make something more than regular claptons and it was dual core fused... even posted it on this thread...I was over confident and mentioned I'd try Aliens...to which I did...man that was a learning curve and still learning.

I find it challenging and a time sink to pass a few hours here and there, always been one to tinker and do it myself. One day I will be able to whip a set up with no issues. Til then the journey continues.

Great post. Also, congrats on making your first vape-able Aliens! How did you learn how to do them -- YouTube? If so, can you link me to the video? I would greatly appreciate it!

I watched a bunch of videos on YT...read through the plethora of posts here on VU with the tricks everyone has said... and I tried them all...Paper Clip, Key Rings, Aliens Makers...and the thing that has worked for me...Cheap ass masking tape to hold the cores in place, then I'd fold the end over.

One triple strand 12" long I was able to clapton 7"...the next 12" strand I was able to get just enough for a 5wrap 3mm ID ;-)

I'll probably attempt more tomorrow when there is more natural light than the desk lamps I have now.
