Not a bad looking staggered fused Clapton. Should give a decent vape. But if you want flavor go for aliens or even straight fused Clapton's.
Still learning...using the buildable in my tfv8 now......so far...IM LOVING IT

Very nice. Much better angle.
My DotMod Comp (#Dotbuildoff2017) Entry. This is also my first set of Polished Coils
Did you build those on the 1st version or the 1.2?
@ralph029 one of my favorite builds in my early days was basically what you posted, but then hammered flat. its called a boneyard coil. hammering it out creates gaps between the twists and changes the surface area and heating a little bit (which imo was an improvement over plain twisted in terms of the actual vape i got). 24g ka1 is (imo) the best to use for it. if you get the twist pitch to be roughly the same as your intended inner diameter it makes a cool pattern when you wrap it up too.
Well, I gave it a shot.. I have some work to do on the overall execution but for a first attempt... It meters out at 0.3 ohm. I built it on a Moonshot (dumbest deck design ever!)
The V1.2 (SS)
Wow! These incredible build man. "Simple" my ass lol that's some incredible wire skills manMuch props!

️My first try at a clapton coil not bad, it started at .27 ohms then after getting hot spots out and let it break in per youtube tips its now .48 but thats fine with me considering i made it and the flavor was awesome. By burn in i mean fire it cold to hot a few times so the coil taste goes away.

The build is amazing and the post to post length on the version 1 isn't very wide is why I asked. Is the 1.2 significantly wider?
Its 2-3mm wider you can fit a 5-6 wrap 3x28g/36g alien in now without a probl,em but for stuff like 10-12ply staples only 4-5 wraps still...Ive given them a suggestion about moving the posts further apart and having them at the corners of the circle....if that makes any sense...that way we could do 4-8 wraps and anything will fit in them and the airflow wouldnt be around the ends of a coil but sit directly under the actual part that glows first....giving even better flavor to a very flavorful rda....I like it alot i really want a brass edition or the 24kt LE next
I have the Version 1 and I love it! The only Gripe I had with it was the posts being too close together and the post holes being vertically bigger vs wider, but it still performs very well. I shoulda waited for the 1.2 but will definitely keep an eye out for the LE Gold tho. I see what your saying about the posts at each corner. It would open up a lot of options and space. GL with the DotMod Entry BTW!

Thank you. I am having some real issues with my RTA's and leakage at the moment (both my Mage and my Moonshot) So I can't really assess but the one thing I have noticed is it seems to burn less harshly than the Claptons, enough so I plan to run those coils in all my addy's for a while. I started mixing my own juice as well and bought a Paradigm Magma to use for tasting. One is definitely going in that.
i dont have either of those rtas, but they both have dedicated threads here i think. take some pics of your current wicking and ask for some help. people here are super nice (until you start talking politics lol).
I have a very intense love/hate relationship with the moonshot haha. I hate building on it more than anything in the universe, but i love the way the lil' fucker vapes. One thing i can say is that you absolutely MUST vape it totally dry before you refill it. Normally in my drippers i usually just use organic japanese cotton but in my tanks i only use native wicks. That stuff is my favorite wicks for tanks because i can use enough to keep it from leaking but it still wicks super fast so i don't get any dry hits like i would with the normal stuff. But if your tanks are leaking during use then you're probably just not using enough cotton in your coils. Its a delicate balance in tanks haha

Man I am about ready to pull my beard out. Freaking enigma coil. I can't keep the dang cores flat to save my life. I need some ribbon. This dang coil makes me wanna set my whole work station on fire.

I tried it with round, 6x 28g. When I coiled it the cores in the middle slipped over each other.
I don't plan on trying again till I get more batteries so I can fire a 12 ply framed staple.
It took me as long to wick it as it did to build it haha

Some pre~fire shots of some Staggerton buddies i whipped up today.
•12x.3mm KA1 ribbon
•2x28 N80 & 40g N80
I'll post some color shots once i get em edited up.
These things vape like a dream. Well worth the 45 mins or so of build time. I dunno what they read at, above .1 ohms since i'm running it on the Noisy Cricket 2.

My first fused Clapton parallel build
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Tried my hand at alien coils for the first time... 2x24/34... wow... not pretty at all... not sure if I was under or over stretched... thought I was close but not looking at the wraps...

The core needs to be wider. Try 3×26g with a 36g wrap.
2x 24g works with a 26g decore. So does 2x 26g with 28g.
There are many possible combinations of working aliens. I try to use a decore larger than most for more aggressive swoops.
Make a 16" long decore using 34g over 26g and cut it into 2" sections and practice the stretch till you find what works for you. Make sure your wire feeds under the core for the initial decore and spin it the opposite direction for the wrap.
2x24g is good for practice but not much else. It's basically a pretty fused clapton. The worst vaping of all the aliens.
I have never been able to pull off triple core builds. They always roll on me no matter what I do. So frustrating for me!

Yeah for this, I did the 2x24 and my wrap was decored 24... so there that... I will bust out some more practice until I get the hang off it! Thanks for the help everyone! That's why I come here!

The alien wrap will flatten it as it goes. Loop one long frame around the swivel with a perfect 180 degree bend in it. Float the next core between the frames, hot glue the swivel end then pull it all tight and glue an inch from the end. Bind the end and put it in the drill. Use the drill to bind the other side. You can also use ribbon sliders if need be.

It's always best to err on the side of caution and understretch em, you can always stretch it more......but you can't unstretch it haha. Generally if it's over stretched it'll make a triangular shape, if it's over stretched you'll get what you got here. I think it's actually harder with 34/36g than it is with 38 or 40. Smaller wire generally adjusts itself to fit while spinning, larger wire you gotta get right from the start. Keep at it though!

Just thought i'd share this with y'all.....my review of the USA Ohm Meters SpinLT
If you're still using swivels you may wanna take a ganders, this little device is a game changer!
Note: this was purchased by me and in no way endorsed by usa ohm meters. ENJOY!

I do have a glue gun! I will bust that dude out tomorrow night if I have some free time to build. Working on a kitchen remodel right now I have to have done by the 18th for my sons first birthday. I'm gonna keep at it and post some updates once I see them coming together better.
