Do u think a ribbon build like a fralien is to much coil for the ammit 25 single coil rta ? Or is more meant for rda ?

U do great work meg!You're nothing but welcome.
Thank you for the coil bundle. Already planning where they're going to go.
I'm sure they'll be great.

Big alien coil. And I freehand drilled an air slot in the death trap clone. It’s hideous but I works and doesn’t whistle. Next time I drill in metal, I know to make dimples first because the drill bit was breakdancing.
And I have a 30mm authentic coming thanks too @raymo2u
Suggestion for the future...buy a Rotary Tool off Harbor Freight for under $20 and use a cutoff wheel instead. One cut with the disc and it would have come out looking nicer and then you can control the amount of air by testing millimeter by millimeter as you cut in.
Not much experience here with rtas, but a fralien with 28g frames and 6 ribbons would be the same width as a 26g alien at about 1.2mm. Each additional ply is .1, I see most people do 6-12 plies.

Good idea. I was there for the drill bit today too. Looked around for the dremel at home and said eeeh it’s an 8$ rda I’ll just attack it lol.
Lightroom is in PS, so you dont need to go into both. You just click Filters, then Camera Raw Filter and then click the Square Icons to go through the various settings within LR. I shoot in Jpeg, I used to shoot in RAW....I just didnt see a large difference and JPEG is much much faster to shoot and stack for me. I am shooting with a Entry Level Camera though, that could make the difference. If I had enough to get a Sony AR7 III Im sure using RAW would give me more variables to play with that would stick out more.
I first use LR within PS before editing anything....I didnt know it had that before the tips I got.
Lol Ive done it myself so I can relate....with practice doing it you do get a little better but that curvature and a pointy drill bit just dont like cooperating when it starts to spin. Widening something already there is easy...making something new in the side requires some real talent or better tools for the job.

Oh I'm sure all u guys will find this hilarious but I just figured out that I can unwrap my build if I fuck up in stead of trying to finish at least one usable coil out of the entire build or I would just throw it out if not before.

The alien wrap stretches when you wrap so it always looks a little funny if you unwrap and rewrap. But the cores can always be straightened, they just get a little skinnier.

No I mean sometimes I'll just unwrap the whole thing and start brand new instead of trying to finish it out good or bad all the time

Yeah, sometimes I get a nice alien hairball going from unwinding a stick lol
Oooh ok lol I do the same thing, especially ribbon wire. That stuff goes fast and ain’t cheap!
Lmao my wife found an alien hairball in the laundry the other day! And this morning she said she woke up with a foot of 24 g in her hair hahah

Awesome I was just gonna order wire the other day but hadn’t yet
0.3 ohms 44 watts
5x32/40 alien 2.5mm
This is pretty amazing, just a single coil and just 44 watts but really satisfying vape. Good deal, because 44 watts goes a lot farther on a one battery mod than 66 watts

No building tomorrow, going to rent a 20 foot Uhaul and go get EVERYTHING WE MOVED TO THE NEW HOUSE AND BRING IT BACK AGAIN
The folks who were going to buy our house, their bank kept knocking down how much they would pay and we all finally said "eff this"

It's incredibly flavorful and dense without also being hot, I don't like much heat in my vape so small gauges all the way, easier on the lungs
This is also satisfying at 44 watts, pretty low, great on battery life
Lol that's how you put a coil in the Pharaoh Mini..."upside down"

I like where I live, there are pros and cons either way. After I get through moving a bunch of heavy junk, again, with heat index of 105, I will be back to all the pros about where I live now
I was gonna have to build in a pretty small storage room beside the garage at the new place, anyway, with no air - that was going to be pretty crappy in the summer anyway

Welcome to the trade! Did you vape it?
Thanks. Yes I used a key ring fob to keep them flat as I wrapped them. Been reading in this forum on how to do it. You guys and gals are great to get tips from. And the pics that get posted here are great.
