I'd start out with .5x.1mm or .4x.1mm ribbon. The smaller sizes can get a little complicated and don't always stack exactly how you want them to. Where are you getting your ribbon from? KP?
Here ya go
Thanks schmuko. That's perfect and the same brand of wire I use too.
Advancedvape supply will have Ribbon up shortly if they already havent, Kidneypuncher also carries it.
Good lord, thats a beefy clapton.... I guess the real question is how does it vape?
Ha, I know that feel. I spent almost $100 on my Hohm Wrecker G2, a month later you can get them for $75. I paid $20 for my Noisy Cricket and now you can get em for under $14 (not a huge difference, but I like a deal), spent $50 on my Nobunaga Mini (and that was through a group buy) and now they are $35, and I spent $115 on a Kanger Subox kit at a vape shop for my first mod ever to find out I coulda got it for $50 online. Its the way it works, once you buy something, its immediately cheaper everywhere else. lol
Well heres some semi successful Alien coils. I was super stoked (well kinda happy anyways) that I managed to wrap the entire length of wire for these 4 coils without a single fuck up (no kinks or over wraps), which is a first for me. Maybe because I was intending them for a Boreas so they wouldnt be visible anyways. But they turned out fairly decent. I cheated a lil bit and just decored some ready made UD Clapton wire I had on hand to cut down on the time lol, and made them dual core instead of the standard 3. They came out a little spaced out (think its somewhat because of the higher gauge wrap wire @ 32ga), but overall pretty decent. I seem to be able to not fuck up just enough builds to keep me from totally losing my shit and quitting forever haa
Just some basic things. First builds in awhile. 26N80/5x.5N80R/36N80 para 2x26N80/40
Second is a parallel spirally thingy for the Monster I actually ended up buying.
Stupid me actually fired without lifting it.. If you can see in the picture it's touching the post so it shorted out. Going to wrap a new one on my break and post one up.
Or you could twist the cores in your drill, when I do that to kinda slightly loosen the wrap I'll twist the cores the opposite way I wrapped it then back in the direction I wrapped it always holding the cores with pliers a couple times. At the end you want it to be straight again so just remember to twist them back to straight.
I would use 44g myself but it looks like a great build! Glad to see someone else on the forum trying more intense builds...other than meOr you could twist the cores in your drill, when I do that to kinda slightly loosen the wrap I'll twist the cores the opposite way I wrapped it then back in the direction I wrapped it always holding the cores with pliers a couple times.

I need inspiration on how to fuse these. Should I use 44g? 46g? 44g & 46g alternating? 40/46g micro-clapton? So many decisions. Can't make up my mind.
One side is 28/6x .3/38g staggers while the other side is 28/4x .3/36g staggers both with a 40g fuse.
Also, this.is 26/34 aliens. With 26g cores I don't really like going above a 36g wrap, but with 28g cores/frames I'll go up to 40g.
Edit: @iSubOhm that's a swan coil you have there in your monster v3. Probably the best way to build chimney style on that deck if you get it down right.

You wouldn't!Send it to me and Ill hook it up something fierce for you
Thinking of trying that exact build soon actually. Will be my first parallel build actually.paralleled 26g/32g claptons, 5 wraps, 3mm id, @.25 still nice and cool at 100w
Used to love the Marquis.
My first real vertical build I try to avoid them at all costs might have done it once before.

Thank you for the advice I was just kind of playing because I have 180something RDAs so I was thinking about lightening the load.
Absolutely freakin' LOVE mine! It's the closest thing to a true RDA that happens to be auto-fed from the juice well below it. Tons of build space on the deck, too.
The top coil things are pretty great. I have a few of them, the only reason I haven't gotten the Limitless is because I already have more than enough vapes going, and 24mm just doesn't fit most of my mods well. There is one other possible down point about that one in that it's not made to fit standard 510 drip tips, but apparently you can take the Griffin adapter and use that in it, so if you have one of those laying around you're golden. I like these kind of setups because you can pop the cap off and just drip like normal for an extra boost of flavor, or just vape it normal, either works. Also quick and easy to change wicks.
Thank you so I redid my Griffin took pics of the claptons I made but then forgot to take pics of the actual coil. Lmao 316L SS 24/31g 7 wraps on 3/32 drill bit .15ohms
Seriously, though... It's because you've offered to sell yours on numerous occasions. You don't have to have a listing in the "Unlisted Vendors" forum, or even a website. But once you go beyond what would be considered normal trading, you're an Unlisted Vendor.
Thats what I thought....but it didnt seem like that was what they were telling me but then again they were extremely vague and dismissive about why so Ill pan it up to that.
