$60 for that aeronaut on eciggity.com has me drooling. The lady and I have been hankering for one for a while now. I recently stepped my wicking game up and now I typically don't need to juice while I'm driving. With that said I'm still interested in an Rta for those long drives, even if the building decks are lacking in comparison to some other available options. Let me figure out my capital before I go making any rash decisions...

I wrapped one big long fused clapton, cut it in half, straightened both, attached one ones in the drill and hold the other end. And don't over twist it.So now since I wanna try its time for 20 questions lol. Feel free to tell me to fuck off to

Does your Castigador need the Firing Bar rebent every few days also? Its the only flaw in the clone I cant stand...It keeps me from buying a Authentic Tirador.

Almost all the wire is made by a handful of factories, much like batteries..The wire is the same most of the time but the conditions its stored in can make the difference.
tried some more builds today just to play around first tried quad core fused claptons with 30k/40k but didnt get a long enough piece to make more than 5 wraps. hit nice but didnt have enough surface area. so i made another with 28k/40k and got 8 wraps on each. its been fantastic. and finally, because i have 100' of 20k lying around with no real use, i made a couple jumbo coils. 12 wraps each centered. barely had enough room to put the top of the RDA on. if anyone nows any other uses for the 20k that will result in wire over 0.1 ohms please hit me up. my only other use for it is making nano coils.

ok, these alien coils are driving me up a wall. i get about 1/4" of good alien and then its all over. once again, here are the pics of the aliens i completed today. apparently im just not capable of wraping alien coils.DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!

Dude, that is EXACTLY how I felt, until one day it just clicked. Lots of wasted wire to get there, though. You can do it, just need a little more practice.
I'm with you too kick! They suck! One day we'll figure it out. Like a lightbulb that wasn't screwed in all the way... It just needs a little nudge.
Matt
The best advise i can give on aliens is use the largest wire you have for practice runs so you can see whats going on. Once you get an idea of how it wraps, how the diameter of the origional clapton, and how the stretch and tension on the decored clapton when wrapping all come in to play, thats when it really starts to click.

spot on.
I still need to attempt the aliens... I need to suck it up and try!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
These look like a cool idea but just out of curiosity?
What stops you from folding a piece of Velcro and punching a spot to feed wire through? Everyone has Velcro laying around. Lol
I have so many Velcro straps for bundling network cables. I will try this and report back my findings!

all of you guys are correct. so i sucked it up and got back to working on them. after several more failed attempts i finally pulled of a perfect alien.i was in shock when i did it. had to have my fiance verify that i had actually done it cuz i didnt think i could. made dual 5 wraps with 3x26k/36k. ohmed out to 0.103. just on the bottom of my mods firing range. tried to use 28k after that but hit the same wall i did this morning. i still cant full grasp the stretching of the clapton. i wish i could get a measurement cuz i hate trying to "feel it out". but atleast this is a start. thanks guys.

I had to replace those boneyard coils I built and put into my indestructible rda. So I wanted to do a normal fused clapton but instead of the 26 n80... I went with 24k cores. Then like normal, wrapped in 40k. I went slower then normal at first and once I got my wrap started... I went as fast as my screw gun would go. I think this is my best, most consistent, wrap too date. This thing in the indestructible vapes like a dream! Comes in at .14 ohm run it at 110w and the vape is money warm. Tried 120 and it started getting too warm for my long drags. I do 3-4 second solid pulls on this and it is awesome. I like this build Beyer than my 26n80 core builds. The flavor is melt your balls tasty. Found some flavors in some juices I never noticed before. I am really liking the indestructible so much more now with this build in it. Pulls super smooth and is now my go to vape when at the house. I can even load this thing up to where I can get 8 pulls before having to juice it again.

I showed this to my fiance, all proud and such. She asked me why I don't just buy some tubing or Springs instead of building coils. Hmmmm...

I just found an awsome and quite simple build. Dragon Skin. I thought it would be worthless but I am absolutely blow away by this thing. 26k claptoned with 36k, decored and threaded with 32k. Separated into 3 sections and twisted. Then smoothed three times to fold the scales. 6 wraps on 2.5 ID comes out to 0.6 ohms. Higher than I usually go but at 75 watts this thing is a beast. I tried 8 wraps at first but it was too cool a Vape even at 150 watts.

Tried this tonight. Sorta worked.. Not aesthetically appealing but I think it Vapes bout the same as the standard FC. Just different than the normal. Going to attempt aliens again tomorrow.

Is it a Samsung 26F ?
a 1C battery - 2.6 amps, protected at about 3 amps
just guessing
this..
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Cheap-Original-li-ion-samsung-18650_60008366816.html
DO NOT USE THESE IN ANY DEVICE, Period....
http://www.interstatebatteries.com/1/1/9950-3-7v-2-6ah-li-ion-18650-9-62wh-lit2014.html
Its a ICR Cell...2600Mah, not much else info on these though...
My guess its a LG ICR18650B4 Button Top Rewrap...Which would be 1.5A CD and Pulse of 3.75A
It could also be a LS14500-PR Variant, Same specs but its not listed as a 18650/18500 or 14500 Size, but the name compels me to think its a 14500 sized cell.
The Samsung 26F Button Top is different, its a much wider button top and its edges gradually get wider.
