yeah, when i first got here there were just a handful of people who could get aliens (not even ray at that point). in my mind it was what separated the regular joe builder from the 'pros'. as people managed to figure it out, every new person had a new tip or different perspective on it, which was often the last piece of someone elses puzzle (everyone has different eyes/hands/dexterity/patience/perseverance/health etc), and it spread like a virus lol. now we have people starting out on aliens and skipping the rest, or doing every build from parallel round wire to aliens in a span of nine days and pretty much instantly being 'caught up' with me and my couple years of building 
its pretty cool to watch, and there is always something newer and harder to learn how to do.
its pretty cool to watch, and there is always something newer and harder to learn how to do.yeah i agree. i find its prolly 80% feel for me. no instructions can tell your muscles what they were doing when you hit a build for the first time...videos and tips from other people can only try to get you to a point where you will be able to get that muscle memory for yourself. i cant see anything higher than 38 gauge but thats generally the lowest gauge i use for wrap, so 'feel' is all i got, and really all i need at this point...
you are in the right place man. welcome to 'post your builds'
Do you have a drill to twist the wire? You could also use a pair of pliers and a coffee mug or something. Take a piece maybe 2ft long. Loop it in half in the mug handle. Grab it at the other end with the pliers and spin the mug. Make sure to hold it when it slows so the wire doesn't unwind. A tighter twisted coil would be a better vape I would think.

Yeah, I just did by hand. I won't post any more pics until I get a good build happening lol.
However, this one is definitely an improvement. Wicked really easily and it vapes with more flavor, decent cloud and isn't spitting. I am going to get there.
Yep! Got to dust off my camera with the macro. Your pics put me to shame lol.
Not sure if you've looked back but there are some beautiful pics on here. I've even used some the coil pics as wallpapers on my phone. Have one now actually. Lol

Posting pics is no problem. That's what the thread is here for. So you can look back and see your progress. Hell just in a day you've made it this far. You'll be there in another couple days. Thinking damn.

welcome to the clapton club meg
Was kicking around stones in the playground on my own
Haven’t had to time to put in proper sesh for ages, every time I think I have spare time something comes up though I’m out of even claptons soon, so I’ll have to do some building just pack out my build baggies again

Maybe some day I will have build baggies - I have a small divided box as a graveyard to separate old coils by metal type, at least haha
Clapton club, I like it
No, I closed for a week or two because school had me completely bogged down - think I got study habits sorted now, though, so back to it tomorrow!
3 credit hour courses, takes more like 4 hours to learn the material (at home) and another 4 for the work, they should be 8 credit hours haha
First attempt at a vertebrate coil. It's 3 strands of 24g kanthal.

Epic!!
My first enigma 
Tried hedgehogs but i didn't have small enough wire for decore but enigma will do for now. Next goal is to make my binding tighter . I bath it for coloring but i need to figure out my new phone camera to take those better.
Edit: Specs 26g/14x.4 and 38g ss bind.

mannnn...that's rad
Been lurking here always when i had time off building and you builds past months been so good that i think you are the rad here
Here's a thing I put together. Not super happy with it. It's pretty messy and I can't seem to find the right ratio/tension for the flip-flop decore wrap on the ribbon (any help would be most appreciated on those numbers).Specs, inside out:
2x32/42
4x.3r/42
28g frame
40g interlock
Holy... That coils messy and complex makes it really nice in a good way! Good job dude

Thank you very much! The whole "controlled chaos" look was the idea when my brain started working on it. If I can get the ribbon wrapped the way I want it, and not have to pinch with the nylons so hard as to smash the interlocks, then I will be one happy camper.Holy... That coils messy and complex makes it really nice in a good way! Good job dude

That's awesome @The_hat_trix! Other than @raymo2u, who is obviously going to slay us all lol, that's probably the best enigma I've seen so far. It's better than the one I did. I just got to the point that I was wasting so much ribbon wire practicing this build that I decided to stop... but I realized I have some stainless steel ribbon so I might be able to use that instead since I don't vape anything other than N80. Awesome job brother.My first enigma
