Just started building today. Used to buy competition grade premade tri core claptons but wanted to try more exotic builds that are hard to come by were i live (netherlands) I ordered some wire that came in today. (26ga ni80, 36ga ni80, 22ga kanthal, 32ga ni80) It came at around 10 o clock in the morning and i immediately started building. Watched like a thousand building videos in the weeks of waiting so i knew what to do. I started by practicing claptonning itself. I took some 26ga and claptonned it with the 36ga. It took me 3 tries to get it perfect and fast. After that i immediately went to try the staple staggered fused clapton. Stacking the ribbon was such a pain in the ass, but after searching a bit i stumbled upon @raymo2u and his vg oil method. I stacked my ribbon properly and staggered my clapton using the button method. I didnt loosen my clapton tho so the fusing didnt go as smooth as i thought. Since i have no swivel or real workplace i had to do everything free hand and my ribbon didnt want to lay well. This was my first attempt 
.
I wasn't rlly happy about it and wanted to perfect it this day. I took some 26ga again and spaced claptonned it in 32ga. Then i stacked my ribbon again, this time making it as straight as possible before stacking. Then instead of masking tape (doesnt rlly work if you use vg oil to stack your ribbon) i used some pieces of 36ga and manually wrapped it around the beginning, middle and end. I noticed squidoode didnt center his wire in the beginning but rather put it between 2 chucks in his drill, so the ribbon is less likely to twist. I did that and fused a little with 36ga. Then i centered my wire and this time rlly took my time fusing. I was fusing for like 20 mins! rlly slow. But i finally did it. This is how my wire looked at the end
Made enough for 3 coils. Bout to wrap myself a dual coil. Going for 5 wraps on 3mm screwbit. Fits perfectly on my goon. Can't wait to vape on it!!
