My 2nd try at fused claptons, 1st try with 40g wrapping.
2x 24g SS316L wrapped in 40g Nichrome. Coils are 8 wrap 3mm ID @.12 ohms and i am quite pleased with the end result.
Good combo in gauges.

Thanks, i ran another pair in 32g for pratice since i have more of it than 40g and they look so much different its insane. They seem huge and look odd since it doesn't get as flat as the 40g does.

So I'm kinda pissed Ray literally just posted this build haha. First attempt at a groove fused staple stagger fused.
Did not come out the way I wanted it to. No magnification, I ended up skipping every other wrap instead of getting the right grooves. Next time I'll try with 46g instead of 44g

Its hilarious how long these batteries last
On another note, my +pos screw on my Tm2 seems to just keep screwing up into the deck, if i want to tighten it down onto a mod the screw go's up into the deck a little and the deck seems loose!
anyone else had this issue or know if this is a common fault?
Its not the "same build" but similar, but even if it was its one sexy build! These are one of my favorite build styles and I dont see them enough, not many people can pull them off cleanly..especially with gauges over 42g+So I'm kinda pissed Ray literally just posted this build haha.

The hammered twisted looks dope, chunky as fuck
and as a bonus you get to hammer stuff woo!
It was for Independence Day and was comprised of SS/N80 and Kanthal....I was hoping it would color to Red/Silver and Blue but it didnt turn out as close as I hoped it would...its all 24gThe hammered twisted looks dope, chunky as fuck

How did you pulse it?
Like I do just about every other build, 30w to get hotspots out and then jumped up to 50w on the G2 after washing and scrubbing it but I dont think I was checking it as often as I should have...

I've got two of em and i haven't had that issue. Generally with 2 post drippers you can't mess with the 510 because it will loosen the positive post. On either my dotmod or my tm2 i never turn that screw more than 1/2 turn for that reason
Today i get to throw my swivels away, my USAohm Meters SpinLT came in today. I'm at a loss for words, this thing is AMAZING.
It's a sturdy 3D printed fella, with two Bones Red bearings. I've made 3ft of Aliens with it in the last 1/2 hour and i could not be happier. It spins SILKY freakin' smooth. From single cores to triple cores i get ZERO twisting of the cores. I wrapped Aliens with the drill on full speed and ended with one full twist on a foot of wire and the cores stayed perfectly level from end to end. I got no twisting towards the far end which is a common problems with even brand new swivels binding up. By far the best $30 i've spent in a long time. I'll probably write a full review on this in a couple weeks, after i spin a bit more wire. VERY HAPPY.

I couldnt beleive it when they asked to sponsor me yesterday, Im pretty excited to try it myself!! Im pleased they made this design along side the Prospin type design....the SpinLT is more my style. You could also use a lighter lube in the bearings if you plan on using higher RPM drills or thicker oils if you are using under 800rpms to preserve the bearings...Its not to be able to also to be able to buy some Skateboard bearings if you ever need to replace them!
If you are getting some skate bearings get ceramics they are quite a bit smoother than bones reds. They are expensive though
I was thinking of trying some Fat Daddy Bearings in it after a few days to see the difference if there is any to be seen. They are ceramic, affordable, and many hobby shops have them in stock for the HPI BajaIf you are getting some skate bearings get ceramics they are quite a bit smoother than bones reds.

You lucky jerk! It was well worth the money. It spins amazingly, even with a single 28g core it gave me no troubles. You can blow on it and it moves haha, its that smooth
What's happened is i screwed it on to either the cherrybomber or raptor t6, and the floating center pin on the mod was quite tight and as i screwed down the pin loosened the rda's screw and now it is screwed
i was looking at the goon rda, i don't have one but it seems that has the same sort of +pos screw protruding up through the deck.Its not like i can just screw the thing together and leave it as is cus the +pos post is loose this way, i was really enjoying the deck layout on this thing, oh well! back to the Velocitys

Its hard to say if it would be noticeable on a drill rig as the loading is so different but it is very noticeable on a board. Skate bearings aren't designed for very high rpm but they are probably in the same kind of range as drill speeds so should be awesome. I had thought about anchoring my swivels in a wheel bearing if they got snatchy, but they never really have. I have always used skate bearing grease in the swivel bearings though
The new drill I have gets as high as 1800rpm on the highest speed (no load), the first speed is more like my older drills max speed which was around 800rpm, I figured it would be cool to test different settings and loads with multiple angles, weighted pull force and speeds compared to using the swivels I was/am using now...It should be a great upgrade though for any builder and its great that it isnt crazy expensive!Its hard to say if it would be noticeable on a drill rig as the loading is so different but it is very noticeable on a board.

@scarecrowjenkins It blew me away that they would even consider me, I was shocked that they DM'ed me asking if I would approve of them lol
Well a bit of a failure, but I put the time into building and photos so I figured I'd share.
24g SS316L space claptoned with a 30g KA1 3 loop Celtic braid. 0.30 ohms; 4.76mm ID. Don't know if it was because of the kanthal braid wrap, or what but blew right through most the color range. Tastes good though.
Only editing was focus stacking and adding the watermark.

I was just thinking that. But then I thought, hell no, my Swiss ceramics are staying on my long board. I am not screwing with those haha. If anything, I'd put my bones Swiss 6 ball bearings in. Or id buy a set of bones reds just bc they're cheap and reliable. Just make sure to lube them up and you'll be good.If you are getting some skate bearings get ceramics they are quite a bit smoother than bones reds. They are expensive though

So I wanted something affordable for single coil builds to use with the single 18650 tubes I have. Finally found a Tobeco version of the Aeronaut. It's the only clone (that I am aware of) that actually has the clamps instead of screws. Just a simple Alien build in it.
What do you think about throwing that on the cricket? Still havent tried a single coil series build

More clouds than flavor. I blocked off the top airflow tube with the extra one that comes with it to lessen the airflow and increase the flavor, but it's still no match for the Petri V2.

I haven't put the Aeronaut clone on the NC yet, but I have it on a Tarsius Prime (hybrid tube mod), and so far so good.
love the tube setup @CrazyChef.
so i got my shuriken today but i am having trouble deciding what to put in it. it feels like the clamps are designed for staple variants, so ill probably try my first ssfc or maybe a stapled helix. while i was pondering that, i did some chores. i usually run 28/38 gauge fused claptons on my petri/noisy cricket, but i decided to try them in 30/40 today. 4/5 wraps at 3mm, .44ohms. i figured they would heat up faster than my usual 6/7 wrap 28 gauge fc, but wow. this is possibly the most reactive build i have tried. i jumped a little the first time i fired it with juice on it.
i put a 2.5mm/.42ohm set into the alleria and i run it at about 5.3v on a regulated mod and its very nice too.

Awesome build in the Alleria, that's pretty high voltage though. I don't think I've ever run that high of a voltage before without burning my cotton.
I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Yeah, it's definitely meant for flat builds. Even aliens, fused Claptons and various staple variants will work well in that.
@midknight420 i figured if it works at noisy cricket voltage, it should be fine at this voltage. so far so good, half a tank in
@CrazyChef i got a bit of a jab from a guy at the vape shop for rocking my smpl/sapor combo. he said i was old fashioned. damn kids these days....hes probably been vaping longer than i have

Very true. Then again maybe more advanced builds can manage higher voltages. I don't know. I'll have to play with this theory one day.

Nice work!Ok the best build I have ever done as far as vapor production and flavor....I was bored as my daughter watched Anastasia for the 106th time I took 3 strands of 28g stainless twisted all of them together(make sure the are exactly the same length or it will bubble) 9 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit and she ohms out @ .18

Yeah I've lost count how many times I've watched "Inside Out" with my son. I bought it for him when he was 16 months old because he would let out HUGE belly laughs whenever the commercials came on! Anger and Fear are his favourites.
He's the only 16 month old I knew that would sit and watch a movie!
(Well stand and jump up and down excitedly)
This is him watching it and laughing is ass off at one of his favourite parts. (I judge his favourites by how much he laughs at that part)

do yall know if mike vapes is having his live show tonight or if there are any live shows tonight?
Hi, how it's the flavor in the alleria with the notch, i have the theorem with one and the flavor it's almost none.Technically I built this but since they're notch coils I didn't make the actual coils

The SpinLT is the greatest invention ever made for the builders in vaping....and this would be a understatement. The SpinLT came in today and I did a test with a piece of .5 Ribbon secured at the Drill and the SpinLT. The Test would consist of using various speeds (450/850/1800rpm), if there was any resistance while starting and stopping the Ribbon wire would twist/warp or even break like on some cheaper swivels. Most swivels can lock up while spinning and this can deform the wire your trying to keep straight. My best swivels still bind and lock up here and there and they werent cheap...I could have easily bought the SpinLT for less money then the swivels.

The SpinLT is the first device that has passed this test with ZERO twisting...that sure says something! More tests to come!

Awesome! I ordered one a few days ago, but they're a bit slow on shipping. I'm sure the wait will be well worth it! I have a 900 RPM cordless and a 3,000 RPM corded that I use.
Its a massive improvement up from swivels...If you have it bolted down and at the same height as the drill then the wire doesnt sway or wiggle like swivels sometimes do....it spins wire perfectly. It handled 1800rpm from a dead stop and then back to 0 without any wire warping, Im sure it will be the same with your 3000rpm drill also.
Let us know your report for the SpinLT! I feel its a MUST OWN!
Im hoping to get my camera setup and download a editing app so I can make a small "Vs." type of clip and then make some 32g/40g Aliens with both my Swivels and the SpinLT....that should show a big difference in how the wire acts when spinning, the changes in wire due to the resistance of spinning, and then how the end result looks.thats a very impressive test result @raymo2u, they made a good choice when they sponsored you. i bet you are already generating interest and sales. ill be ordering one asapmy setup right now would make most of you guys cringe lol
I lost my Macro Lens clip on but I made a Staple Staggerton today on it and I didnt have to use anything to make the spacing...the wire spins so smooth and freely while being completely straight and secure that I did it freehand and the results are stunning. It looks as tight as it could have possibly been...I couldnt do that before because the wire would sway or the swivels would make the wire twist or act differently and the spacing wouldnt be perfect.
Im happy enough to endorse a product I believe in...I would of either way if I got to try one at some other point.
