Looks nice bro! I'm super jealous I haven't got to build in awhile I get to look at the site like a Dr.Suse book (just the pictures) lol keep up the good work everyone!so i took a crack at 32/42 (all n80) aliens today and ended up with a pair. i put one in my kayfun prime (.6 ohms) and i re-coiled my rocket with the other one (.7 ohms). been wanting to try this build for a long time, but always chickened out. @Pegleg Meg pushing herself was the inspirational kick in the butt i needed to give it a shot. wasnt really anywhere near as hard as i thought it would be. if you can hit 40 gauge alien wrap, you can probably do these too

do you mean like a groove fuse, or another pass of alien wraps? i have never seen anyone try to groove fuse aliens, but there is a build called alien staggs where you space a pass of aliens and then do another pass in the spaces (with frames).

they both vape great. i have tried some smaller fused claptons in the kayfun before, but it usually just increased ramp-up more than anything else, so i stuck with round wire builds. these perform great. its hard to say if flavor is noticeably better because both setups are generally great even with round wire, but the clouds are thicker and it seems to ramp up faster (3x32n80 vs 1x28ka1). the kayfun is especially different than normal. i only did one tank in the rocket on round wire before this, so i dont know it well enough to know whats different, beyond the slightly faster ramp-up and increased clouds. i am very familiar with the juice i put in it and it tastes as good as ever, so thats a good sign.

yeah, I was thinking of trying to groove fuse them, either that or just simply try to get another (smaller) wire in the grooves of a single wire. btw, thanks, now there's more I have to add to my list of "waste a bunch of wire until you finally get useable coils" list lol that groove fuse alien looks sweetdo you mean like a groove fuse, or another pass of alien wraps? i have never seen anyone try to groove fuse aliens, but there is a build called alien staggs where you space a pass of aliens and then do another pass in the spaces (with frames).
hurry up and build something @Darthvaper510
Do you find that aliens get better flavor/vapor than fused claptons? what are the benefits besides looking dam sexy? Just wondering, still haven't jumped into anything complicated and want to soon.Lol I've tried the patino's, bought 2 sets of them. Now my setup is at a stage where I don't need them. I managed a 4 30 core alien without any sliders or anything haha was quite chuffed with that
Edit. Picture of said 4 core alien.

Pretty crazy... I just found my old Double Vison RDA box and I had a little plastic container in it where I used to put all my extra coils. I used to not measure my wire out so I would always end up with 3 coils whenever I went to make a dual coil. At that time I just didn’t care because I wanted to build. Didn’t care if I wasted wire, made to much wire, etc etc, as long as I could keep building. So I started saving the 3rd coil each time and placing it in a small container to use on my flavor tester RDAs (only use single coils because using dual coils could waste a ton of cotton since I change the cotton to taste each juice) to taste my juice after I mixed and steeped.... so looking threw the coils just now I found my first attempts at a Staggerton coil, alien coil and a staggered framed staple coil!! Wow it was so long ago, they didn’t even call them staggertons at that time haha!!! Here’s a pic of the staggerton, I’ll post the alien and SFS in a little while when I get back home..
I have no idea what the specs are. Really not that bad for my first time!!!

I have 2.. I love them.. the first didn't come with a squonk pin, this one does.. it shines as a squonker. and imo, yes, it lives up to the flavor hype. my only con, is that if you over squeeze, you get A LOT of spitback due to how close the tip is to the coil (which is why the flavor rocks.. double edges sword) I sometimes raise the top up to where it sits on the top o-ring instead of being all the way down if I over drip/squonk. eliminates that issue.. dollar for dollar though, you can't beat it. best flavor single coil I've tried. get one.. he'll, get 2
I would say so myself, it's all to do with the wicking action of the coil. I don't know exactly why it is but an alien coil seems to just suck juice in. Add that action to a faster ramp up time and you have hella flavour and clouds. Definitely worth investing a little bit of time in to try and get them yourself
Just got this recoil rebel....
Excuse the dirty mod (damn finder is a dust trap)

I had a regular recoil before and really loved it. I like the larger build space and look of the New one but the coating seems to lock extra heat in. Either way it is an excellent rda and I am pretty pumped to really test it out.

yeah it is a great mtl imo. i dunno what kind of mtl you like, but the prime on its smallest air setting is looser than the rocket r i just got/ce4 tanks/kayfun mini v3 can go tighter, but its tighter than a kayfun 5 (smallest setting)/pocket rta and more of the looser mtl setups. i liked it before, i used it as my go-to for work (steel tank section, good battery life, non-invasive clouds), but since i put this little alien in it i havnt put it down. highly recommend a clone to try out if you are interested at all in mtl. i like it enough that an authentic is likely going to be a near future purchase.
barely
hopefully it's just one of my new flavoringsthe prime is a great mtl, but it might be a bit loose for you if you like them really tight. its worth trying a clone if you have an extra fifteen bucks and can wait a bit for shipping. i like them pretty tight too, but this is quickly becoming my new preference. i would suggest trying the mini v3 too, if you are in the market for a mtl tank. that has a screw for the afc so you can really dial it in to the perfect feel. its a small tank (maybe 18 or 20mm) tho so it looks funny on modern modsI like really tight air MTL. Loving the alien in my Serpent Mini with the air closed all the way. Something new is making my throat tickle lately though, better not be the Kanthal D I've been wrapping with
I have the berserker MTL RTA and that has one of the tightest draws available as far as I'm aware, nice little setup that can be altered while the juice tank is full because the chimney locks into place. I enjoy it anywayI like really tight air MTL. Loving the alien in my Serpent Mini with the air closed all the way. Something new is making my throat tickle lately though, better not be the Kanthal D I've been wrapping with
I quite enjoyed the v4 kayfun when I had it, berserker is around the same but with tighter draw. Same sort of deck
i have been thinking about the berserker and the recent siren as well. i am kind of a kayfun fanboy, so i jumped on the prime instead. what kinds of builds do you (or anyone reading this) use for mtl? like i said above, i have tried a few fused claptons and stuff before, but i always stuck with roundwire for rampup because most of my experiments were fails until i hit 32/42 aliens.
Berserker is great. 6 wrap 26 gauge nichrome 80 at 3.0 mm ID it may be simple. But a great little setup.
all ss316l, 5mm ID (naturally lol) ohms at .16.
still no clamps?
I'm chomping at the bit to get me hands on them as well lolit makes sense i guess. i threw that goat off a cliff as a sacrifice to get them to you by monday, but it showed up back at the oracles village the next morning. i guess it was a mountain goat....Still no clamps

I've only ever done one build with .2x.1 ribbon and it was was finicky as fuck lol. Might have to delve in there again see if I can make a better go of it as mine was straight staple, I'd think the frames might help keep the wire more uniform. How do they vape for ya?
Thank ya!nice work @CrazyChef v2.0
Haven't installed them yet. I just now coiled 'em. Ended up with 5/6 wraps, probably about 0.35Ω per coil.Slick work chef

at a 3mm ID, ramp up was just a touch too long for my liking, I'm don't usually purge before taking a hit. dropped it to 2.5 and this thing vapes wonderfully, I'm quite surprised..so, not sure what you'd call it, but I'm sure one of you will know - there's no original ideas anymore lol couldn't sleep so started messing around with some scrap in had laying around.. 4*28g KA1 twisted in pairs x 38g SS316L.. it almost works out like a SFC due to how tight the 28g twisted up, but in a way the fuse goes on like a helix.. steam engine says should be around .18-.20 dual with a 3.0 ID fixing to mount them up and see how they do. I'm thinking the Pro Drip and the VGOD..
