I've been vaping for a couple of months. I tried building wire/coils a week or two ago.
I started with twisted, then I bought wire from a local shop ($20 per 100/ft!) and moved on to clapton and fused clapton. I wasn't aware that 4 core fused was any more difficult than regular clapton wire and I think that's why I got it on the first try.
I'll post some pics of the few coils I've made so far. I really find it to be calming. So last night I watched a video on how to make Alien wire and I was mesmerized by the (seeming) complexity. It came out okay, although I ran out of wrap wire long before I could make a decent set of big coils.
Any pic with color on the coil is completely unedited, although I did use a clip on macro lens for my phone. The only edited pics I have are the ones of Aliens.
I just found this sub forum here. Looking forward to learning!
I took a pic of my swivel holder. Just a cheap trigger clamp. It's exactly the right height for my equally cheap HF drill. Super portable too if I decide to take it to my girls place or go outside.
I have 1500ft of 36g ss coming on Friday. I want to get several sizes in various alloys because I really want to play with ramp time and resistance.
Can anyone tell me how you use hot glue in the drill? I get it as a concept, but I haven't figured out practice yet and I haven't found anything on it.
Thanks guys!
