:love::kiss:Very nice! Almost museum worthy
I'm excited to build more. I caught "the building bug" it seems. ^.^
I have 2 more Boreases and a couple of RDAs to build. ^.^
I'm like a child on Xmas morning. :giddy:

Nice, it looks like a cross between the Goon and a Phenotype-L
I had the building bug for a while a coil would last more then 3 days before I wanted to build something else
But the FDA had to get a wild hair up their ass and I had to stock pile.
So I have been working on making juice.
I'm still reading once in a while to keep up, you guys are crazy with some of the stuff I see.

@raymo2u does that build fit on the deck with the cap on? Looks pretty big for a 22mm Atty. Other than that it looks dope man.
Lazy subzero 24 alien build for me. Running my Subzero 24 on my noisy cricket with that build because it settled around .56Ω? I think it was .56, could have been .46 though. I put all my scrap wire to use

Yea it fits without issues, I did move it towards the center and lower though after the pic.@raymo2u does that build fit on the deck with the cap on? Looks pretty big for a 22mm Atty. Other than that it looks dope man.

I also did the same build as your post the other day with some 26g/38g 316L SS...
Very impressive. You should have seen my first build. It was hilarious. But above all be proud of YOURSELF. I'm proud of youI just built my FIRST coil EVER. It's not fancy, but I'm proud of it!
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.
Those with a Boreas, mine shows up today. My question is, throw the coils in vertical or horizontal? I have some 10x.4n80/40 staples to throw in. Just debating if I should mount them vertical like I always did with my Aromamizer or horizontal.
Only done horizontal but they work great.
Thanks! ^.^Very impressive. You should have seen my first build. It was hilarious. But above all be proud of YOURSELF. I'm proud of you

My (not so fancy) build in the pic above is on the Boreas deck. I did horizontal, since I've always had horizontal coils (though they were made for me).
Once it gets here and I can get my meat hooks on it and see the size of everything, then I will know how to build it. Right now, I am wanting to build vertical... we shall see what actually happens though!
I can't wait to see what you end up doing! Post pics!

Need to get me one of those rda's for sure, it has 3 caps rather than adjustable airflow doesnt it Ray?
Ive got love for SS! Great colour. reminds me of the strangely coloured woodlice you sometimes see lol
It has 2 topcaps with different sized airflow holes and each is adjustable with single coil options also. Comes with a 510 Drip Tip adapter also.
My Dad is giving me one of his. ^.^ (He used to be a General Contractor)NEW DRILL BITCHEZ!
ITs soo much better, easier trigger and smoother action, easier to open and close the chuck, and has more speed options!
That's a really good drill. I'll be having to get one soon myself. I'll start with making my own claptons and go from there.NEW DRILL BITCHEZ!

I tried to wrap it up, I got 3 wraps in and then the whole thing started twisting. I guess my cores didn't stay straight like I thought they did. What I thought was a twist from the spinning the wrap was actually cores getting out of order and screwing the whole thing up... BAH! I will have to make something new now!
If you haven't done them before I would start with short length, enough to do one coil which is about 6 inches of clapton. Its much easier to do a shorter length of alien wire. The longer the cores are the more likely they are to twist up together. Once you got short lengths down then go longer.
Actually I still do 1 or 2 at a time as I find it is quicker to do a few short lengths of wire than one long length. A long length of 3 x 28 AWG is absolutely loving the idea of twisting together when you spin it up.
Before stretching it I use a 3:2 ratio. So for every 2 inches of core wire you want 3 inches of decored clapton. You may want to make it longer while practicing though because you will mess up a lot. For cores to start I wouldn't try to go too long, again just because it can mess up easier. My advice is to start with 6-8" of core and see how it goes.

I have the same drill, it confuses me as to why most drill chucks dont fully close, i used to have an old panasonic that would but i think i ended up losing bits of wire down in behind one of the jaws and come the end only two of the three jaws would move in and out, cant fault the Ryobi though, its been solid.
Thanks for letting me know about the Shuriken rda.
I saw Azriel's Youtube glow vid of the build she just did, nice one, you should post it here
I saw a Ryobi drill at a pawn shop the other day that the chuck closed all the way. It was corded and $20I have the same drill, it confuses me as to why most drill chucks dont fully close, i used to have an old panasonic that would but i think i ended up losing bits of wire down in behind one of the jaws and come the end only two of the three jaws would move in and out, cant fault the Ryobi though, its been solid.

nice work everyone. i love coming home after a few days away and catching up on all the glorious builds 
i did an order with a local friend yesterday...1850ft wire, shuriken, boreas, rafale x are the most anticipated of the lot. my time machine is broken, so ill be in the cryochamber until it arrives...i hate waiting for vapemail...

While not glorious, this is the premade Clapton wire I bought. It's my 2nd ever build and is clocking .24ohm

Yeah... I've noticed... ^.^
I can't wait to get a drill and more wire. I want to start making my own. Before long I'll be doing fused claptons

Fused claptons are where the fun begins. The best balance of simplicity and functionality for "advanced builds" imo. When i dont want to build (which is about every day nowI can't wait to get a drill and more wire. I want to start making my own. Before long I'll be doing fused claptons

I was looking in the beginning of this thread and i cant get over how far a lot of us have progressed, looking in your direction, ray... Need to sit down soon and just build but my hands are so damn worn out lately

i love doing that. it feels like the distance in time should be a lot longer than two years when you look at how far things have come in terms of coil making. it feels like the dark ages back there lol. on that note, the first post in here was june 25th. two year anniversary is coming up soon...
Asymmetrical Hybrid Coil...It wasnt what I intended this morning but I thought it looked cool enough to post...

Thats insane. It makes me frustrated just looking at it haha.
Whats up with the nice BB logo and then your name added in paint?lol You need someone to design you a logo?

Yea I have no skills at editing or photoshop...
I have been trying to look up how to make coils similar to those and I can't find anything. Do you have a video or something? Looks good btw.Asymmetrical Hybrid Coil...It wasnt what I intended this morning but I thought it looked cool enough to post...

No I dont have a video, I figured it out before Guatch actually let the public know how it was done and I have been making them here and there since, I did post somewhere in this thread how to make them though. A 3mm Coil Wrap is about 5-6mm wire length wise, so on a sheet of paper mark every half inch for 6 inches and there is your blueprint for your coil.
Then you need to decide on what your going to use as a core, its easier to use something for the core that will go all the way through the coil, then just add to either the middle like I do or build on it on the outside of the core. Its best to work your way from the middle outwards.
Having a thicker center wrap and thinner outer coil wraps makes it so the coil heats completely evenly and not just from the center out...other heating tricks and wicking possibilities are the reason why they are popular besides aesthetics...even though the one I posted above was a "failed build" as I measured it wrong and then made it quickly...
Here's some bits from that build you quoted.
I keep getting told that its the same as Cotton Balls from the Dollar store and Walmart....I think they have never tried the stuff because there is a massive difference between them and the CB V2! Its good stuff....You should also give Native Wick Platinum Blend a run...its similar to CB V2 but comes one long strip of it in a bag (3.5ft) and its a bit poofier so its easier to pull apart...I love both of them though and they are the only wicking materials Ill use!
Ive bought one of those massive rolls of cotton. Looks exactly like cb (minus the not cut into strips part) but tastes like shit. This stuff has zero cotton taste off even the first pull, im amazed

I'm just now trying muji cotton. Not as bad as what I'd been using. I had to pull apart my Boreas and "pre burn" the cotton more cause the "wet t-shirt" taste would NOT go away. After sufficiently fogging up the room, it is now MOSTLY gone.
I may have used a little too much wicking too. But I HATE leaks so I figured more was better than less. No dry hits though even with the smaller (2mm) build deck and 80vg/20pg juice. So I can't have used too too much lmfao.
