Hehe, I'm catching up guys!! I can literally do this blindfolded from start to finish. My buddy in AA have gave me I'd say at most 30ft of 38g. I swear this gets easier every time.

Thank you all for helping me, and giving me a better dope to chase. Coil building is the only dope for me!!!

Yeah the fused ones do, I dont even bother trying to straighten them anymore even 3 core aliens straighten themselves out when wrapping I find

Staples however are just a bitch to wrap full stop :mad:
Staples are just as easy to wrap as any other build. That is, if you give it a quick run of the torch before you start to coil it up.

No torch:

Yeah why not ...mind you those seconds ones you made will clean up and keep you going for at least a month or more ;)

Edit: If it makes you feel better I vaped on this monstrosity..... the gargoyle hoof in the flesh ..was pissing about using up all the left overs I had from some builds a while back

Actually wasn’t that bad haha

great gift :cheers: thats the gift that keeps on giving. in a few months, when you are rocking some beautiful alien build and thinking 'shit, this is the best vape i have ever had', give the person who gave you that drill/swivel set a big hug.

Made 4 more coils. This time used a thinner core. 28gx2/34G

Now I need more wire varieties.

Do a staged clapton...make a single or dual core clapton with 28/34 and wrap it in parallel with a single strand of 26ga. It’s always fun watching those ramp up and glow...not a bad little build for getting good clouds and flavor...fast ramp up from the 26ga strand while the clapton warms up to give you the dense flavor cloud.

Will do. I've done it before with premade Clapton wire but that was awhile ago.

So finally tried my First cable Cores.
Took 15 strands 44G n80, Twisted, and twisted 4 strands to a 60 Core Cable.

Decided the prettiest and easiest Home for These would be a SFC with 28G/36G.

Made 6 Wraps on 3mm and scored @ 0.17 Ohms.

But to be honest i am not too excited about the vaping experience ...

Dude, I would be super excited to try these. Let us know when you do get around to trying them!
EDIT: Or did you already try them and that's why you're not too excited?
Yeah tried them out cause i was super curious ;)
Vaped them at around 135 Watt in my Bonza RDA cause These suckers can handle a freaking amount of Power!
The Cloud Production is just ridiculous!!!!
But even @ 90 Watt they glow up so quick, uncompared to any staple Build. So whats tue Curse.?... They cant Beat any of my staple Builds concerning Flavour.

My simple explanation is, that the 44g has WAY too much Resistance so i guess the Main amount of Current Travels through the frames and the Cable Acts as a gigantic heatsink. I mean physically there are 62 Wires Running in parallel, right? So its a parallel Build with 124 wires (Dual Coil) and still 0.19 ohms, WTF?!?

As a conclusion, they are pure Cloud Monsters but Lack in Flavour.

Well that sucks, I was hoping they would be flavor monsters. I make 30x38g core cat tracks that are fantastic for flavor. I was hoping maybe these would be similar/better than those.

Well thats my Personal opinion Chef :)
Since i am Chain vaper and my Taste buds officially declared me as a hopeless Freak your Experience may Vary? It is a matter of the Setup and juice, maybe i should give them a Chance in a long Term Test :)

Why dont you give them a try? After you managed to get all of this f*cking mermaid pubic hair (44G) in order they are really a breeze to make

Something a little more simple for any budding builders... wasn’t happy with the ramp up of that coil earlier so in the bin it went

The ramp up of this is spectacular on the barebones

Very simple parralel 25g Flat wire using NI80 and 316L came out at 0.16ohms

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ramp up is very quick which suits a single battery tube mech well and it wicks well ...I pack the cotton in fairly tight for this because I’m dripping which helps

I really like flat wire with a clapton more so than round wire fused Clapton’s vapes much nicer imo, also no issue with temp control either, and it’s very easy to practice your clapton technique

What is looks like with 38g SS316 wrap

Great job Kingpin my guy. Beautiful. I like ribbon wire builds too, I love the flat Clapton, it's a great vape. I like pure nichrome80 builds personally. Nichrome just does it for me. I am thinking of using nichrome80 to wrap kanthal. I just fucking hate how long kanthal takes. I only use it for building for series. I hear that Nichrome with kanthal helps dramatically, I have just become accustomed to Nichrome only builds. I didn't like SS as much as Nichrome but better than kanthal.

Bought it from the crazy wire co. sod messing about pounding it flat, it’s a lot more expensive than round wire though that’s the downside ...pay for 10m what you do for 100m of round wire

Thanks Zombie :) best vapes are the mix and match wires imo hit all the flavour notes that way haha

I typically use kanthal ribbon with SS316 frames then use ni80 to wrap it all for my framed staples go all 3!

Although I’m not experienced building for series mechs yet got my first one and like taking long 3-5 second draws so want a slower ramp up for that few of the gang in here recommended some builds which I’m gonna try (thanks chef, caram and machine :) )

I build with high Quality N80 EXCLUSIVELY
and use it in any variation since 14 months. All other Metals and alloys suck for ME.
There is simply no other wire that is so easy to build with, has the best ramp up and cool down, and you know when a premium N80 Coil has reached its lifespan. This point is when the wire Breaks, and not earlier.
I hate SS for its Metal taste and the fact that it just gets rusty and is a gunk Magnet. I hate Kanthal for the fact that it contains Aluminium that Kills the neuronal sensitivity of your taste buds. I hate Titanium and Nickel because they are pure PITA to build with.

I even tried Zirkonia, man those coils are like rubber bands and taste like Grannys hairy Armpits.

I have Two Year old simple n80 Aliens and they work as freshly installed.

The only thing you have to consider is the right cleaning. Dryburn the shit out of it and drop in DESTILLED water or Vodka(for Real!!) so you wont leave any minerals and crap of Tub Water. With this simple trick they will last forever.

Well all this is MY Opinion and experience and i respect any other.

Happy New Year! :cheers: :D

What I'm saying is that SS316L does not oxidize. That's not an opinion. It's an inherent property of the alloy.

Yeah, what he said, lol. Little late to the party but I literally had to sit through an annual “refresh” course on the computer at work yesterday about the different metals and processes screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc go through and the corrosive resistance protection offered from each one (Zinc Plated, galvanized, Stainless, and on and on) and the top thing that was reinforced is that Stainless in no way has any oxidation over time and offers the best protection of any type of corrosive issue.


You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!
