I figured out how to do it with two core 30g ka1 and outer wraps using 40g ni80. Small Like frog's hair!!! Need a magnifier to see it clearly! Dang

38ga is getting easier to work with.. Use a pen

Update guys
Finally got my authentic SUCCUBUS rda by eldiablo Philippines
I got a dual fused Clapton 26 g NICHOLE 80 and a 32g nichrome 80 5/6 wraps 2mm diameter
Not the best fused Clapton ,but not bad for me came out to .180hms here's some pics

VAPE ON

This is kinda amateur hour compared to some of you guys, but I got some swivels finally and threw up some dual fused Claptons for the first time last night. Wow do swivels make it easier. This is 24g NI80 wrapped with 32g KA1. Came to .15 on my ohm reader and the Sigelei reads it at .11 (eek). It hits though!! Like a beast. First time vaping on fused Claptons and I'm probably never going back. This build was a bit chunky but it did actually fit without touching the cap of my velocity.

Pushing the boundaries on the amateur hour, also on that velocity, kick ass build man, I'm running a single coil identical to that 24/32 on my pheno and I love it. I bet that one is amazing

Just wondering what you use a swivel for on these?

Swivels anchor the end of the wire that isn't in the chuck of the drill. Makes any sort of clapton wrapping much much easier by having tension on the wire you are spinning in the drill.

Yeah, probably should have gone with 26g cores, but it's still a rich, flavorful vape when it warms up.

The trick with the helix is to go slow while wrapping the first helix to bind everything together. Make sure that the exact same number of twists of the framed wires are between your helix wire. For me I find that to be 4-6 twists, but it will change depending how much you twist your frames. More of a twist is going to require more helix wires. Once everything is bound and evenly spaced it's really easy to go and run the next helix parallel to the first one the whole way along, repeating till all the spaces are filled up. Ending up like this

Your wire is very clean and I applaud your builds, is it easier using real ribbon wire? I didnt have any so I flattened out some 24g and used 5 for the core....Its definitely a time consuming and callous building coil

Thanks for the compliment, it has only come from practice. My first builds were definitely not what they are now. I have never flattened wire, but I'd say that using ribbon is easier than flattening just from the time alone. The kidney puncher ribbon I use has an advantage over other ribbon too, in that it comes off the spool straight and flat so you don't need to straighten it.

Ohh ok, i gotcha, do you hand wrap or drill wrap the outside? First one i hand wrapped, that one i drilled. Im trying to get those down and do different variations as you dont see many of them.

Initially I was doing the helix all by hand, but now with a good set of swivels I've been using the drill. With that being said I only use the drill to pulse the trigger to turn the wire 180 degrees at a time; I just like the tension on the wire that the drill and swivels provide. With this method you are still going VERY slow to ensure everything stays lined up and tightly bound, while counting each space for the helix. If you mess up even by one, the remainder of the helix wraps won't line up properly.

Yea i know what you mean, i do have to ask you one thing, and this is for any build involving ribbon, while wrapping, how do you keep it all lined up neatly? Mine always wants to move, or squeeze up and out between the outside wires, this is always the most frustrating part for me. I can have it nice and neat as can be, then i start wrapping, and it wants to pop out. I use the swivel method as well

 

[raymo2u]

I dont know how you guys do it with 40g and higher for anything more then claptons...Scarecrowjenkins with 40g Alien Wire blows my mind...cant barely see the fucking wire when using it and its frustrating to use. I did manage to make a nice length of 22g Fused with 40g this morning though...previous attempts all ended with bad looking results, this time was different, I give props to all who use 40g and higher wires!

I use some 36g wrapped around multiple times to bind the ribbon together near one end. I will do that twice close to each other and then slide one set of wraps to the other end. This keeps the ribbon tight and lined up properly. From there I use green painters tape to bind the twisted frame wires to the ribbon. I typically use 4 or 5 pieces along the length of the strand. As you get close to the tape with the helix wire you can either slide the tape along the wire or just remove that piece.

Edit: I forgot to mention I only use the tape for the stapled helix wire because it has the twist in the frame. For a framed staple build I just bind the grouping together with wire and slide it when my clapton wire starts to get close.

I hope this makes sense. If not I can post some photos of my process to make things a bit clearer.

I appreciate it and i understand, up to you if youd like to for anybody else, always nice to get some tips from people whove been doin it a little longer, ive been building for about a month, and trying to chuck along, starting staggered's tonight

No problem man, good luck with the SFC's. I'm still not a fan of doing them, they are a serious pain for me to make them clean and tight with anything higher than 32g.

Its not super clean but this is my first Staggered Fused and I put it on the RBA of the Smok TFV4. Its 2x26gN80/40gN80 so it was a pain in the assss with the 40

Couple of claptons and a twisted parallel. Lastly...possibly the ugliest staggered fused clapton on earth.

That vid is a pretty good idea, you guys are gonna think its crazy, but i actually did that Staggered freehand. I just eyed what would be the right spacing. Might try that vid idea tho

How do you keep the ribbon stacked? This is literally the one coil I have not been able to make successfully yet, ribbon always twists up or messes up somehow, also what brand ribbon are you using and how do you straighten it? Sorry for the onslaught of questions lol.

I'm still having problems stacking it too. But to straighten, pull out a length (leave it on the spool) and grab the loose end with pliers and pull tightly. You can actually feel it stretch a bit as it straightens.

They're a bitch at first. I was just practicing with the one I just posted. It's too big to fit in any of my atties. 22K core w/ 30k wrap.

Yeah alien portion looked like a thicker gauge than usual that's why I asked. My alien game is strong! But it took FOREVER to get that way lol. Here's one I made a while back, haven't really had time to build anything fancy lately.
