took 2 strands of 26g nichrome 80 twisted them CCW, took 2 more strands of 26g nichrome 80 and twisted them CCW as well. then i put those to strands together and twisted them CW, and then put the ribbon on CCW.

I'll pm you my address. And I'll need a 22 or 24mm velocity style RDA and some cotton as well. Thanks in advance.

i take it i did a decent job? ohhhh.... nvm. had to read it three times. i kinda assumed it looks like crap. but hey, i've only been vaping like 4 months, only got into making my own coils 1 1/2 ago, only drill i have has no slow setting, thats what i get for buying what everything i read said would work alright.

i understand there should be a larger gap between the ribbon wire than there is.

i mean this is the whole reason i'm posting this in the new builders section of this forum :)

i should mention that this was my 2nd attempt making a hive, and my 2nd attempt wrapping anything around a wire, 1st time using ribbon to do it.


"if something's worth doing, its worth doing badly." -unknown.

its a motto i use to get past some of the anxiety i have about holding myself to a ridiculously high standard and just being able to let go, and have some fun.

Shoot, I can't judge but if you're happy with it that's all that matters. Better than anything I can do considering I don't have the first thing to build on or with. How's the flavor?

not bad in my csmnt clone. once i got the sides on i got the cotton tucked out of the way a bit better and now can get air right under the coil. i think might need to turn it up some more before it starts accentuating flavor notes.

what its making me notice is that most juices are not designed to be hit at very high heat. most of my juices taste great off a cold coil hit at high wattage but if i chain hit the flavor on almost everything i have changes, for the worse. and i know its not burning cotton, i know that sensation by heart now lol.

just because my brains going crazy trying to make sure i understood what you meant.

what exactly did you mean by that? were you just asking me for a velocity style rda with some extra cotton to have?

I was jokingly implying that I would happily sample your build.

ahh! sorry sometimes without knowing context i misinterpret things. i was having trouble discerning that, begging for stuff, or saying send me the stuff and i'll do it for you.

being high functioning autistic has its advantages and disadvantages.

Yeah, I was kinda like "WTF?", for a minute there too. :)
