Thank youYou sir. You win!
Unfortunately, my 100W mod just couldn't run it properly. I really need a DNA200 mod to do what I want to do.11 wraps?!?!? What wattage does that vape at?
What's that atty they're on?Dual Caterpillar track coils. Bad shot of the two, but a good shot of one of them.

Competition Doge V2 in copper. Just got it yesterday. The damn thing gets real hot, real fast.What's that atty they're on?
Looks good, what method do you use for holding the wires flat? I use 2 dime taped together with the wires sandwiched in between if that makes any sense? Put close to where you start wrapping and slide it along as you go. Takes some practice but it works! Here's a 2x24G N80 fused with 36G N80 in my Kennedy 24!Still trying to work on my multi corr claptons, I still have a hard time keeping them flat.

I actually thought to put the wires in an electrical crimp connector then crimped them flat so they can center in the chuck, then slide a small paperclip along to keep it flat as I go.Looks good, what method do you use for holding the wires flat?

I don't see why that wouldn't work, go try and report back lol!I actually thought to put the wires in an electrical crimp connector then crimped them flat so they can center in the chuck, then slide a small paperclip along to keep it flat as I go.

That's what I did last night to build those, it was alot easier with the wires being centered from the start. I'm going to try it with swivels nextI don't see why that wouldn't work, go try and report back lol!

Yeah I need some swivels too, seems like it makes triple core a lot easier, although I have managed to make them without, just a pain in the ass lolThat's what I did last night to build those, it was alot easier with the wires being centered from the start. I'm going to try it with swivels next

I haven't had luck with multi cores and swivels in the past, for regular fused claptons though it takes 2 minutes per foot using the swivels.Yeah I need some swivels too, seems like it makes triple core a lot easier, although I have managed to make them without, just a pain in the ass lol

I haven't tried it, I'll have to give it a go and see how I feel about it. I need to order some kidney puncher ribbon and revisit staple builds. I had some temco(garbage) and it led to nothing but frustration, couldn't get the bend out of it to save my life.I haven't had luck with multi cores and swivels in the past, for regular fused claptons though it takes 2 minutes per foot using the swivels.

the guy at my b&m is giving me some of his since they don't carry it, I'm going to be building some framed staples next.I haven't tried it, I'll have to give it a go and see how I feel about it.

Ive tried, I can't seem to keep them flat that way. Off topic, how long does it take you to do say six inches of alien wire? I'm curious if you always have to go crazy slow.Just crimping them flat with nylon tipped pliers every inch or two works well![]()
Just depends, at first it took forever. Once you get the angle and pressure down it goes so much faster because you can go faster on the drill without mistakesIve tried, I can't seem to keep them flat that way.

This took me about 20 mins to do half a foot and still has a couple screwups.

It looks great but how did you end up wicking it? Through the middles and then off to the side?Put a build in my friends TFV4 for him. This is more of an experiment than anything, but it turned out pretty nice in the end.
Dual 28/36 fused claptons, 7 each wrap on 2.5mm.

Yeah exactly. Airflow would have been too restrictive otherwise. Ohms came to 0.3, and he's been running at 85W or 5V all day without issue. Airflow is a bit tighter vs the quad coil head, but it's pretty nice still.It looks great but how did you end up wicking it? Through the middles and then off to the side?
Ever have a day when you can't build squat? That was today for me. Absolute fail repeatedly.
Not sure if my patience was low or my head was elsewhere... or if i just cant handle the one or two flaws.
The constant pursuit of the perfect, flawless coil if maddening. Maybe i am OCD. smirk.

Keep the posts coming gang. always looking for inspiration.

I have the doge v2 and a hand full of others and I keep falling back on my twisted messes absolutely love it with the space to build on huge post holes the vapor quality it's my go to rdaQuick question for the more experienced coil twisters and whatnot...
Can I have a couple few recommendations for an atty to build these coils on.
Obviously I need something with bigger holes and thicker posts.
Thanks in advance.
Gotta ask how do you like that doge v2Competition Doge V2 in copper. Just got it yesterday. The damn thing gets real hot, real fast.

So I've been wondering... How do I know what size to wrap the initial Clapton to wrap any given number of plies/width of ribbon? Say, your single ply 0.8 vs. a 4 ply 0.5mm? Or is it just trial and error like when learning how much to uncoil the Clapton wire to form an alien?
Your skills are still pretty awesome thumbs upYou can more or less alien wrap anything as long as it's 3x the width of the initial clapton. I used 28g for the .8mm and it went right on beautifully. The .8mm ribbon is such a stubborn wire that it actually claptons quite easily with any high gauge wire. You could also try something like this:

If you stack a few strands and wrap them flat for a low profile alien (or low profile clapton) they actually vape really well. This coil is 3 strands of .8 & 40g. The ribbon in the core has an interesting effect on the flavor![]()
Thanks brutha! I appreciate it!Your skills are still pretty awesome thumbs up
