Wow cracking coils Jriley I’d be well happy if my stuff turned out that well!

Haven’t tried a pitchfork yet...well I say haven’t I have but not properly because I can’t get the hang of para claptoning keep finding one lead jumps over the other

I have the spools locked next to each other but might be holding to close to the core as I wrap?
Well I don't paraclap round wire , I use weighted loop. I do paraclap my ribbon stacks tho but I don't dual spool/bags, I just cut 2 separate strands

Staple coil build using 40g Ni80 wrap worked fine for me with just a single bag. I used the edge of my table to stabilize my forearm... cordless drill was standing upright on the edge. Used a keyring to hold the ribbon flat. On the swivel side of the keyring I wrapped a small piece of masking tape around the keyring, on either side of the ribbon stack to prevent the keyring from sliding off. At medium-high drill speed the keyring wiggled only just a tiny little bit so that it kept moving itself automatically toward the swivel... you should have seen the smile on my face when it did that. :cool: But I stand by my conclusion it is impossible to get the coiling up part right without using a torch if the ribbon stack is made of 12ply .4×.1 Ni80 ribbon wire, as it is MUCH too springy if you don't torch before coiling it up. :p

Ex dope feind here, crazy chef it's so if the blind person has to get a ride he don't gotta fork over his card or pin.

Man I've seen it all. I swear I have.

I'm thankful today. That's an understatement. I'm lucky to be here looking at such amazing art work.

I found a drill. My friend gave me a really really old rigid. It's not variable speed, keyed Chuck. Anyway I ordered one from eBay it's a black and Decker for 11 bucks. Now I'm saving up for ribbon wire. I could only get 26g 36g for fused Claptons.

Couple of 3mm ID all ss316l 3*28g/38g Aliens staged with 28g. Ohms are coming out around .06-.07 before firing properly. A little bit too low for my usual build so gonna make some more in 3.5 ID. Sat in the pyro and on the captain pd270.

Lmao nice one fudgey. I swear it's not even been altered that photo. Gotta be that stainless wire. Could also be the light box I bought, that definitely seems to have made the colours pop without too much shine.

When chuck Norris was born he roundhouse kicked the nurse and told the doctor to put him back in...cuz no one serves chuck Norris cept chuck Norris.
FYI... my first name is Walker. I’ve heard just about every chuck crack there is. I can’t count how many goddamn times I’ve heard someone say “Walker? Like Walker....(drop in vocal tone) ...Texas Ranger? Har har hardy fucking har har” like it’s the first time I’ve heard it. Good to get that off my chest.

You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!
I've got some aliens in the mail. I can't wait. I've never tried a true alien. I've had the flat clapton poser "". Yours look great.

I do like the look of the dpro, how's it vape?

It's got a little whistle with the air all open, otherwise it shows great promise with some beefier coils than 26g parallels. I really dislike the whistle. Pretty much leakproof though, good flavor with even this simple build.

I like a tighter draw and closing the air by half is just right, and no whistle.

I twisted wire for the first time today, it was fun. I twisted 2 and 3 22 gauge and 2 and 4 28 gauge to get a feel for how thinner and thicker wire act.

So I'm trying the quad twisted 28 first

Worth it :) totally gonna try lots of twisting and braiding, before claptons (I'm a girl, braiding is in my genes)

I did some quad twisted 28 stainless steel the other week. Vapes like a dream without all the spitback of normal twisted.

If I'm gonna double twist up wire, then take those two twisted wires and twist them again, should I reverse the drill?

thats a specific build. i think it was a tidal coil? or a wave? shit i cant remember. its pretty cool what happens when you reverse twist that last strand on though (little pockets open up in your previous twists)...there is a variety of twisted/helixed builds to try out though. have a look on youtube for coil build tutorials from a couple years ago. nice work on your parallel and twisted builds btw :cheers: glad to see you caught the bug (two back to back coil pics in this thread. doctor says it might be terminal build-itis. says you might only have a week or two left before you hit aliens...sorry to break it to you like this, but you might be...one of us :eek: )
