Be careful, I had a big coil build in my goon and it was making it get WAY TO HOT. My whole MOD was heating up -_-. I had to switch it out for something smaller. And I previously stated that the quality wasn't all that great. Hopefully someone else takes this design and improves somewhere else ....Got the Goon in today and I really didnt have time to do anything crazy yet so Ill be revisiting it soon. It came with some oil on it but not a crazy amount and the screw for the Post was loose, so I tightened it all up and started building for the Lucifer. When I was building one of the Posts kept turning....this should NOT be an issue and I would have thought they had learned to squared off the post and insulator by now but it is a issue and Im sure I will only get a few more builds in before it gets TOO loose....Fucking $70 for that....really?

Im not worried about it getting hot...most of my builds heat up the RDA hot enough to cook an egg on contact...Ive trained myself not to "Lip" the mod and just the Delrin tip. I dont find this particular build all that large or warm though, I may drop a wrap or 2 to warm it up some.Be careful, I had a big coil build in my goon and it was making it get WAY TO HOT.

Maybe it's just my RX200 but for some reason the goon gets so hot that the damn firing button heats upIm not worried about it getting hot...most of my builds heat up the RDA hot enough to cook an egg on contact...Ive trained myself not to "Lip" the mod and just the Delrin tip.

Thats Chefs territory of experience...Ive only done 5, 10, and 15 strands of wire....Haven't venture much more then that...I will be doing some more Cat Tracks shortly, Im not going to do the 2 Core but atleast 5 and the Hand Vise should be here in 3 days so that should be a big help keeping them flat...If I was any smarter I would of ordered 2, one for each side of the wire..I was thinking of a framed cable of some sort. Rather then 40 somewhat strands of 40g maybe just like 10 34g or something framed and fused. Thoughts on this or anything better?

You probably want to start with a desired resistant and then work back from there.Thoughts on this or anything better?
You got a link to the hand vise?Thats Chefs territory of experience...Ive only done 5, 10, and 15 strands of wire....Haven't venture much more then that...I will be doing some more Cat Tracks shortly, Im not going to do the 2 Core but atleast 5 and the Hand Vise should be here in 3 days so that should be a big help keeping them flat...If I was any smarter I would of ordered 2, one for each side of the wire..
LINK, now I want one of these for the Swivel end...You got a link to the hand vise?

I dont own a RX200 but my Snow Wolf Mini would ALWAYS say TEMP Protection....meaning it was getting too hot for the mod and the RDA would be hot but the mod around the RDA would be warm, not hot...Most of my other devices dont give the message unless Im really cooking.The rx200 gets really hot on the button and the rda with most heavy builds, I have one and it happens anytime I make a real low ohm nice build and it tells me my device is too hot when it shouldn't even get that hot so I upgraded to the Dna200 lol haven't had an issue

If you can try lining up 2 strands of the 24g and the wrapping the Ribbon around it. Its much like a normal fused clapton but I feel it ramps up much faster.Ah okay man, well I haven't gotten into hardcore builds yet all I have is 24G kanthal and Ribbion wire lol so I make the twisted builds
I dont think it gets hot but I have the Brass Version...but I dont think that makes a difference in heat properties.I've only gotten the "temp too hot" message on my IPV 3 Li once.
It was due to a fresh build having a hotspot at the post.. And it was throwing all the power at the positive post instead..
Even .1 ohm builds on my IPV have never given me a message at 150 watts.
Notice my mod will get lukewarm - not hot by any means.
Then again, I'm not using the goon, have no idea what kind of insulating and heatsink properties it has, and maybe it's due to the size of the RDA...?
Either way that's unfortunate you guys. I really like the RX200 I'd pick one up in a trade or something but no funds

It might be the way the RDA directs the heat? Instead of out and up, the head follows least resistance down to the 510 thus being up the mod?I dont think it gets hot but I have the Brass Version...but I dont think that makes a difference in heat properties.
BTW That post that kept turning wasnt the Positive Post, it was the Negative. After dicking around with it and removing the Oring around the Screw it seats into the section that is cut out for it now and since Ive taken it out it has been solid. Thought I'd update you and everyone on that issue. I am pretty pissed they dont include a extra oring for that screw or a extra of the screw itself.It might be the way the RDA directs the heat?

I don't know. I'm glad I don't have the RDA after the couple of you got them in... Doesn't seem like I'd be a happy camper if I paid $$$ for it.

So I went out specifically looking for clamps with a hole at the top so now I'm just wondering how you attached it to the hole and where you got that special drill bit. I saw someone here put the link up but I'm just wondering if it'll be too big for the drill I just got its only a 12volt because I'llHi Dawn from what i can see your clamp that holds your swivels is similar to mine, you have a long part of the vice under the table? i use mine with the long part above the table, it already had a hole in mine to tie my swivels to with some thick wire but you could drill a hole in yours if you havent, a hole the height of your drill when its stood upright... look at my pics
The link I posted will fit most Drill chucks. My Drill is a cheapo Black and Decker 18V with a 1/2" Chuck so I know it will fit, if it doesnt I will cut it up the handle where it thins out...So I went out specifically looking for clamps with a hole at the top so now I'm just wondering how you attached it to the hole and where you got that special drill bit.

Only use that one for making wire and I'm pretty sure it opens as far as an 18volt drill but not 100% positive so if anyone could me out id appreciate it. Things have been so crazy I've only been able to build out of necessity and not for fun.
That's great! At least you won't be entirely frustrated with the build process on that guy now....BTW That post that kept turning wasnt the Positive Post, it was the Negative.

You'll get it. A couple weeks ago I couldn't get a consistent 40g staggered to save my life. It's a processThese type builds are the only reason why I want to learn staggered Clapton's. -_-

What g do u think is best to start with? It's driving me nuts that I couldn't do it that I had to stop trying lol. I'm gonna try again today right after I make these baby staples for my Griffin (series build)You'll get it. A couple weeks ago I couldn't get a consistent 40g staggered to save my life.

-every animal has an adequate amount of gray matter in its cranium to tan and preserve its own hide-
34-38g in my opinion. Anything thicker may be more difficult on the final wrap until you get it down. I really got it down with 36n80...What g do u think is best to start with?

Let me check. It's a 3/8 chuck is it worth buying the bigger one even tho the only thing I'll be using it for is making wireThe link I posted will fit most Drill chucks.

Thank You! But what do you think about the pic I uploaded?Very Sexy!!
Made me chuckle some lol I wish I had the Aliens down enough to get 2 coils worth without wasting a shit ton of wire, I would love to make some Alien Fraples and Flatten them....You make it look easy.Thank You! But what do you think about the pic I uploaded?
I really only use the Drill for making wire...someday soon Ill get the Dewalt I want but at $200+ just to speed up the outer wrapping its kind of crazy....I may just buy a Corded Drill for High RPM and lay it flat. Im pretty sure it will still work on the 3/8th chuck as it gives you 5.91mm of usable space in it..The measurements of the Jaw of the Vise is .5" Lenght x .082" Wide, the handle is smaller so it would fit.Let me check.
