I want to shout it from the rooftops.
Is there a way to like this post more than once? Congrats raymo. You deserve something like this. Now this gives me more reason to bust my ass and do even better coils.


Oh, and I envy the people with the macro lenses... I have been just using the phone trying to hold it steady on full zoom. Yeah, not lying. I really am holding a phone with the pics I post...

Ive listed many links in the past for the most affordable but still decent qiuality wires..they beat most other wire prices by a fair margin...

Kbee wire has great bundle deals and prices for 24g-30g (Cores)
LINK for SS bundle
LINK for N80 Lower/Mid Gauges Bundle, Link for High Gauges Bundle
LINK for KA1 Bundle

Kingorchid on Ebay has THEE Best Outerwrap prices to date...if you message him directly you can get 38g-50g in 1000ft spools for a discount (the gauges not listed in 1000ft)
250ft of .6 Ribbon LINK
50ft of .5 Ribbon LINK
100ft of .4 Ribbon LINK
1000ft of 40g Kanthal D LINK
1000ft of 38ft Kanthal D LINK
1000ft of 46g Kanthal D LINK
That's what I was gonna say. Lol.
$10 for 1000' of 38g was too good to pass up.
For other stuff theres Coil Society and Temco.
Coil Society's prices are really good for 1000' and up.
Temco's prices are really good but nothing above 36g.

It's a good deal on both ends imo. Your coils are all over the place, and you just keep doing what you're doing.
Pretty neat.

I just made some interlocked staples...both folded in the coiling process. Fuck.
I'm so god damn mad.

My bad, I wasn't paying attention.
I've done 2 interlocks so far. 36g and 38g over 2 x 24g.
Why can I see through your wrap and into the ribbon?
Are you doing something different or does that just happen when it goes over a staple?
That's my only goal with interlocks.
I was going to try 38g over 27g and then alien over a 10 ply. Should I do something else?
I don't think I am. But I think the 38g helps with the cores being visible. I remember I did a fralien interlock with 36g and they looked chunky. I think for anything more than just normal alien, it looks better with 38g and up

WOW Ray!!! I'm so happy for you. I have alot of Twisted Messes. I don't have one of his rda's yet, but really want one. He's a really good guy though from everything I know about him. Mad respect and a huge congratulations to you buddy. Really excited for you.

Not anywhere near some of the gorgeous builds I see on here, nor do I have EXACT ID because I tend to grab whatever I have near me that's about the size I want... 2 sets of 3 strands of clockwise twisted 28g Kanthal twisted together counter clockwise. 6 1/2 wraps around a #0 philips head screwdriver (~3.2mm) Single coil came out around .32ohm (replaced it because I wasn't getting the kind of vape I wanted off it, not enough airflow on that particular RDA for my taste on this coil) Overall I love this coil build with more airflow and higher wattages though.View attachment 65324

Figured I would get my first official post up with a shot of my all day setup. Rocking a SS SMPL mechanical with an OBS Crius. Build is a dual fused clapton with 2x 28g K wrapped in 36g N80... best flavor yet ive been able to get out of the crius, I have 2 and have the same build in both tanks lol.
edit... yes i know theyre old and need replacing ;)

Since I just was sponsored by Twisted Messes I have to quit the KPContest, a contest held by KidneyPuncher where they have selected a handful of builders to enter. They sent 2 100ft spools of their choice of wire to each builder and the builder needed to make something with the wire. They could use wire other then the 2 spools as long as it was kidneypuncher but the choice wire had to be the main wire used. I chose .4 Ribbon N80 and 40g 316L. I feel bad because the first spool of Ribbon was actually defective and the ribbon would crinkle and bind coming off the spool and it would instantly break with any attempt to straighten it. They sent me a new spool of Ribbon wire and the next day Twisted Messes spawned the question on me...
I feel since they sent me the wire for KPContest I will use it to submit a built for them as that was the intention for the wire anyway, though Im still bowing out. This is my entry:

Interlocking Double Hump Inlaid Enigma with Corrugated Core
.4RN80/28g SS/40g SS All KP Wire

The RazorBack Mohawk is pretty popular on Instagram right now but many people have troubles even making the initial clapton for it...its difficult but the results look amazing and I plan on experimenting heavily with it soon!
@h_hasselback is one of my friends on IG and he impacted a ton of people posting his build..making something totally different then anything being posted and then having a ton of people try to follow suit I made this as a "Commemorative Picture" for him.

So is the hybrid(be patient, been out of the game and don't have any "social media") start as a normal fused, go to an alien and then back to fused all on the same core?

Sexy stuff, but from what I've seen already I'd expect nothing less.

As for the razor back, that's just insane. Staggered staples and aliens where the hot ticket when I quit lol

That's the best hybrid I've seen.

I hope you and others know, the only reason I developed any skill at all doing this stuff was because of all the sick builds I've seen. I'd have never gone outside premade clapton with out threads like this one and on ECF.

Now I must have a hybrid. Lol.

Ill type out a good tut but try this...

Get a length of core down for a Alien be it framed staple or 3 core/whatever..
Try wrapping the alien in atleast 5"
now unhook the alien wrap from your drill to unwrap it off the wire from the drill side, leave a 1 inch section of alien.
Clapton on both side of the alien, at least 1 inch worth each side....
Then coil it on a 3mm ID, should make 6 wraps with 3 sections, center being alien.

1 inch = 2 wraps on a 3mm ID, wrap accordingly and have fun with that.

@raymo_2_u killing it at usual!

So I tried playing with new stuff. I never did a helix (well, once) and braids so decided to give them a go together. I fucked up the helix haha. Wth, here it is.

I tried to stagger some twisted wire once but it acted odd. It just twisted the wire and not the sqivel.

Ok, first attempt at a hybrid.
I hit a paperclip half way through and it twisted the wire pretty bad. I'm lucky I saved it at all.





@raymo
What do you do to keep the transition tidy? If you look close you can see part of my alien hanging. All in all it was a good first try and I learned alot. Shouldhave used 36 for the interlock so it's more obvious...it blends in now.

Ha..... I had to lower the temp down to 177 watts...... On 193 watts it was a Satan throat fuck....

That's why I like 30mm and bigger rdas and tanks just to put big coils and play around.....

You notice how I had to stagger them to get them to burn evenly.......

The (4) coils are 316L so they fire hot immediately no ramping... And I had released the fire button, they were cooling down already.... They were red hot.....

I always like seeing your build posts, you do have some crazy things going on, but crazy in a good way.

I like your quad coil build a few posts up, what is that? Aliens and Fused claptons? Also 177W is madness to me lol.

Your wire came out good, I don't mind if the twist around, it makes them look real alien and it doesn't change how they perform. ....
