If you look at the very bottom of the RDA its engraving/etched "V1.0"

The Petri V2 on FT doesnt even have the etching on it period, I do see other clones with the V2 etching though. They all seem different, the postholes are all cut differently-shape and width, the etchings on the bottom are different.
You're right

The Largest framed Staple Ive Ever Done....What a PITA!
I think I may try for a Super Wide Staple next...I need to get wrapping the coil it down though.
14 x .6 Ribbon/ 22KA1 Frames, 42N80 Outer Wrap .09 Single Coil
Wire next to 2 x 22KA1/40N80 Fused Clapton Wire and a single 22KA1 Strand:

It didnt turn out as nice as I was hoping but it was a good first attempt at a super wide coil...I really want to get a nice set of wide coils to add to my collection...One like this:

Beautiful bro... I made some staple wire but I'm not coiling it up untill my nylon pliers get here.... I don't have toothless pliers either so Im just gonna wait. I'll post a pic later, but I think it came out beautiful considering it was my first time ever working with ribbon wire...first time actually touching ribbon wire in fact. Been building coils since the Igo-I and never found a reason for ribbon wire until I seen the staple coil.

Anyway, back to you .... Beautiful coils buddy, as always, its a pleasure getting a tapatalk notification and seeing "raymo2u has posted a picture in the Post Your Builds thread" :)

Ok once again. A bit off subject, but I trust everyoner here's opinion..

My kid sister moved to Florida a few months back (she lived here with me in New York) and I finally talked her into stopping the cancer sticks.... I bought her and I both a Sigelei TC-75watt, some Samsung 25r + charger and now I'm on the tricky part. Picking out an atomizer... I want to get her a subohm tank because she doesn't know the first thing about coils or what not so it's not practical to get her an RTA. I was looking at the UWell Crown and the Herakles Plus. Which one do you guys think is better, or should I be looking in a different direction?

Imma say the Crown, I'm a little biased as I don't own a Herakles, but I do have a Crown, and it's fucking great!

Im soooo hyped right now!

cd073283eed432c9843138e95aa1d53e.jpg

Got the goon on pre-order, ordered a Sigelei 75w TC (first tc mod.. if anyone knows a good place to get a small amount of tc wire for me to try lmk, thanks)... Grabbed some more Samsung 25Rs and a 4 bay charger, some flush wire cutter and finally nylon pliers....

Very productive day if I do say so myself. That Goon rda got me itching like an addict!

I decided to take out that monstrosity single coil and make a new set of Framed Staples that were a bit more my speed...They came out much cleaner and much nicer looking and they vape fabulously, the thing is the Double vision is getting on my nerves with getting dual coils to heat up with synchronicity...

Atomisers are the wrong shape, they should be more 'square' so you can fit shit in properly. Round is the wrong shape for other than a single coil, for which it makes sense.

there's a few square rdas out now. My favorite that I've played with and vaped is the atty cubed.

Might want to consider something like the Nautilus or other more MTL type tanks if she's new to it and coming from cigarettes, tighter draw makes it closer to that old smoking though the lung hit never matches and DL with subohm certainly satiates that feeling more IMO. Anyways, worth considering.

Just bought a rubix cube clone, round base just a square cap around it. Still neat and got it for like $5 so... (I went ham on a sale and grabbed 4 new RDA's for like $25).

My wife just made the jump and I hooked her up with my subtank mini. She likes it but I let her try my Griffin the other night and she likes it more... green light for me on the Griffin 25 and the Raymo RTA! Holla!

For sure, just worth considering. I have buddies who vape, but they try to take a small hit off mine cough like crazy and call me crazy. Different tastes and all.

Every time I see your pics I feel like breaking your damn hands...I really wish my hands didnt have the issues they have or I think I could do much better...:(
Oh well, I may try doing something with that Clapton Ribbon Outer wrap...thats a great piece that could be added to a few builds I have had in mind to try out....Something along the lines of a Staggered Framed Staple and every other space have that wrap over the center....could be nice looking...

Was thinking about picking up some more wire, any benefit to 46 awg kanthal over 40 awg when wrapping other than making it look like aluminum foil when you get a solid wrap?

not that i can tell. 46g is super fine and as such very fragile. My first try at fc's with 46 i broke the wire several times before i got the speed and tension right. Ive used it once since...

Anything over 40g is for specialty builds. Like Schmucko said, it'll make things shiny. It's also good for various types of stitching. But as for functionality, there's no need to go above 40g. I made a staple coil with 50g yesterday, and it broke in like 7 different places when I went to wrap the coil. So I said "Fuck it" and started a 24N fused Clapton with 46N binding - it didn't really want to hold the initial tension created by the 2 core wires during the first inch of wrapping. So again - "Fuck it". Went with 2x24N/40N fused Claptons and they're vaping wonderfully.

Even less possible ramp up time but it can be difficult to wrap if your not used to the ultra fine gauges of wire. I would stick with 40g until you build up to 46g

Just ordered some 28g, 38g, and some .4 ribbon wire. Woo hoo

Matt
I got to get more 28g. I didn't think I'd be using it much anymore until I started building for my cricket.


@raymo2u , was it you that recently purchased the Lucifer mod? I believe it was... If so, how are you liking it? I was going to purchase another noisy cricket earlier today but then I figured I'd get the Lucifer (this was the series mod I was initially going to get before I got the cricket....). Any feedback is greatly appreciated

It's there a noticeable performance comparison between 38g and 40g? I got 2000' of 38g kanthal d a few weeks back, but if there's a noticeable difference ill grab some... I love the way it looks wrapped also

Yea I bought the Lucifer, its pretty amazing, I use it more then the Cricket but thats because I enjoy the larger size, looks, and I like the Trigger rather then the Button press. I am not sure if the clone feels the same way or has as nice of a trigger feel but if it does I would say definitely get one. The thing I would change on the Lucifer and on the Cricket...those damn Battery Screws Ins...
I rebuilt both the Series Setups I had this morning...

That's about equivalent to my situation...

When I first started vaping I was building for mechs, and really loved 24 gauge.

When I switched to a regulated device I found love for 26, and used 28 too...

But now that I'm working with aliens I want higher resistance, so I ordered 28 and still have lots of 26 gauge. I am surprised I went through as much 38 as I have. 500' of both 34 and 38 and I got the 38 well after the 34 -- I am officially out of 38 as soon as I crank out one more FC with it.. I still have plenty of 34.

Very clean.... And I might grab a Lucifer clone just to check it out.. $22 bucks, worth the gamble it is 1:1...

Mind posting some specs of some series framed staples? and reg. Staples if you don't mind? I literally just started working with ribbon a few days ago so any info on the series builds are appreciated... I was actually thinking of switching my double vision onto my reg. Device and my Griffin to the cricket, this way I can really use the double vision with some beefy coils... Any input, thanks brother...

I havent ever made a Framed Staple for Series..I may give it a try tomorrow though...Will be a tiny Wire compared to its Parallel Brethren.
I like 6-10 of .6 Ribbon/26N80/40N80, usually the resistance will be around .1 (5 wraps/3mm ID) depending on how many wraps and ID.

For Series I would suggest .3 Ribbon, 30g Frames and 40g Outer wrap...would need to test for resistance per wrap though...
