Full Disclosure:

Let’s get all the disclosures out of the way. These coils were sent to me directly from BD Builders specifically for the purposes of this review. This will not in any way, shape, or form cause me to give these coils a favorable review or change my opinion in any way.

First Impression:

Whoa, these are some dope looking coils. Really clean and nicely packaged. If they vape as good as they look we are in for some flavor and clouds.

What’s In The box:

* Pair of 6x0.4N80/28N80/36N80 Framed Staple Alien
* Pair of 6x0.3SS/28SS/40SS Framed Staple
* Pair of 3x28SS/36SS Alien Clapton
* One piece of really fluffy thick Japanese organic cotton

About BD Builders:

As most of you know I love this forum and I am extremely active here. So when BDB reached out to me to do a review I jumped at the chance to review a product from one of our own.

Dan and I have always chatted here and there about vaping but for some reason his coil business never came up. He never pushed them on me either. In fact if it wasnt for @MannyScoot I probably would have never known what a great coil builder Daniel actually is.

Dan is very much like most of us here. He started vaping about 2 years ago. He tried all the factory coils and pre made mass produced coils and like a lot of us he just felt he could do better in the clouds and flavor department. So he took to the web and watched some of the best coil builders in the business. He followed them, learned their techniques and tricks of the trade and before you know it he was producing great coils himself. He is a tinkerer by nature so it was a very natural progression for him.

Now Dan has a legitimate coil business with a constantly growing list of clients. He has showed a passion for vaping and really cares about the community we all hold so dear. All in all he’s just a great guy to deal with.


From Top To Bottom:

Ok, without any further ado here are the coils.

Pair of 6x0.4N80/28N80/36N80 Framed Staple Alien

Building And Wicking:

The first set of coils I used were the pair of 6x0.4N80/28N80/36N80 Framed Staple Aliens. I figured these are premium coils so I needed to use them in a premium RDA. I choose my trusty black Twisted Messes Cubed RDA. I chose this RDA because these are some beefy 6 wrap coils and I thought they would pair nicely to this RDA. Boy was I ever right. This pair of coils is sitting on my Hohm Wrecker G2 ohming at .11 at 125 watts. I am truly getting some next level flavor of off these coils and the clouds OMG the clouds are just huge. Huge pillowy, flavorful, massive, tasty clouds.

I have had the Cubed for quite some time. I have put multiple various builds in it. So I know this RDA. I can honestly say that with the BDB coils the flavor and vapor just pops like never before. I also used T1V’s Apricot Custard, a juice I know very well and again it just never tasted any better.

Keeping with the same premium theme I loaded the pair of 3x28SS/36SS Alien Claptons into my BMI Brass Nova. This is a simple yet really well built, effective, flavorful RDA. I have had it since the pre release version so again I know this RDA inside and out. I know what it tastes like and how it vapes. On this RDA you need to run your coils higher than normal because of the way the postless deck is configured. BDB coils were actually trimmed to the perfect height so I didn't even need to make any adjustments at all.

Once the coils were mounted and wicked I used another juice I am very familiar with. I used Branded’s Birthday Suit. It tastes like a birthday cake in a milkshake. This set also ohmed out at .11 on my Lost Vape Triade at 125 watts. Again, full on flavor. The clouds are just massive. I get nothing but clean tasting juice that just keeps me coming back for more. I really get all of the little nuances and flavors of this very complex juice that were either muted or not there at all with other less superior coils I have used.

The next pair up for review are the pair of 6x0.3SS/28SS/40SS Framed Staples. I have to be totally honest here, I did not mount them or try them yet. I do have a very good reason though. I was supposed to get my Aromamizer Supreme V2 for review this past Friday. Because USPS is so incompetent my package has been delayed until hopefully Monday. So I am going to save these coils for the Supreme V2. So if you want to see these coils in action make sure you check out my Supreme review. Once I get these coils in there I will post an update here with pics.

Conclusion:

What more can I say? If you got the feeling that I was gushing then you are right, I was. These coils are just fabulous. If you are looking for some next level flavor and clouds I urge you to give BDB a try. If you are like me and you don’t have the skill level or the time to build coils like this, give BDB a try. If you are looking to up your vape game and get full on clouds and flavor, give BDB a try. They are that good. Best of all you will be supporting an active member here who is just an all around good dude. BDB Builders coils are without a doubt Deucesjack approved. Check him out at his ebay store and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Tell him DeucesJack sent you.

Great review Deucesjack
I expected nothing less than greatness for two reasons:
1. You always provide great info and tell it like it is.
2. b_d_builders builds some bass ass coils.
However there is one bad thing about Dan's coils.
They last forever so he is going to build himself out of business.
lol
I've been buying coils from him since MannyScoot posted something about b_d_builders having a sale on ebay sometime last year and I jumped at the opportunity to test them out.
VERY happy I did.
Thank you MannyScoot (sorry I didn't say so anytime before now)
Thank you Dan ( b_d_builders ) your coils are all still going strong.
Although now that I think about it I'm due for another order since I think I've used them all in tanks n attys and have nothing for the new ones still in boxes.
Hope you're ready.

Thx man. I agree with everything you said. Haven't had them long enough to comment on the longevity but from everyone says these babies stay fresh for quite a while. Looking forward to getting plenty of use out of them.

Nice one Jack there really is not a better all day vape than on a framed staple coil... then an alien wrap just top it off helping with wicking just awesome smooth, flavour, clouds they have it all, very clean tight looking coils from BDB there

I was wondering if I could get a recommendation on what to order? When I first read your review I thought someday I'll be able to afford coils like this then I checked out his store. $10 for 2 coils plus a couple dollars shipping and I thought wow I spent that much on a 3 pack of smok coils that are nothing like his handmade works of art. So my only dilemma now is what to order, I've never Vaped exotic coils before. So.....any recommendations for a set for my Griffin 25 plus to provide good flavor and nice clouds?

Aliens are great ....but

Framed staple ....something (alien, helix, standard wrap) ...the bestest vape there is ;) though a lot more work goes into these types of coils, if at some point you do get some coils try these at least once! Clean em up once a week and re wick then reuse they'll last you for months

NI80 or SS wrap will give you the pretty colours on the outside when first installing for those coil porn shots :)

I personally like Kanthal cores and NI80 wraps myself prefer the flavour I get from them

Though if you want to temp control stick with SS316L for everything and your better off using claptons or fused claptons here (or staggered fused claptons) as it will be better for the mod to detect resistence change and won't stay hot for as long as some of the bigger coils

Im Sure BDB will be able to accommodate anything you ask for ;)

Thank you so much for your input. I very much appreciate it. The only thing I've used besides round wire, is some cheap Chinese fused Clapton wire that I then wrap my own coils with.

Then your in for a treat first time I ever tried an alien I was like this is awesome

First time I tried a framed staple I had my first vapgasm lol though the former is less battery hungry as they don't require so much wattage to heat up

Aliens are better than a fused though younwill notice that for sure. Other than looking bloody awesome ...they have unique wicking qualities ... if you drip onto an alien (on top of the first coil) after installing it you watch how the juice travels the whole way round just 2-3 drops

Hello there! For the Griffin 25 I'd go with the 3x28/36 aliens they fit perfect. You can choose between Kanthal or Nichrome cores for difference resistance ranges.

Of course you can always PM me and we can have a full discussion.

I bought coils from Dan about a year ago, they are still going strong in all my attys. No need to replace them, they fire perfectly every time. Might replace um this summer, just for the hell of it.

BD has the best coils hands down. I have like 20 sets of all kinds of random coils from him bc they are so good. The only problem I have w his coils is that I keep having to spend tons of money on RDAs so I can try all the coils he sends to me bc I get so excited about it I can't wait. I have been using the same set of framed aliens for 2 months and they still work great.

Treat yourself and try his stuff.

Your a stand up dude, nothing but good things I've heard and seen. I hope the very best for your and your coil venture. I'm wanting to go that route myself but I want to take it in another direction.

God Bless you and yours.
