Oh yeah! No longer getting booted off vu! (don't jinx it) awesome builds from you guys as usual.
I hope the swvl does pretty well. My spinLT started binding a bit and is now being used as a swivel mount. Hopefully I just need to clean and oil it.
Got a lot of builds that I haven't posted here so I won't backtrack that far. Most recent one that I made is a hedgehog ribbon inlay.

I like to understretch the decore a bit, then use more tension when it wraping and it comes off as tight as it can get....you just need to pay attention to see if the cores are about to bunch or if its going to backtrack on you.
If you use the paperclip hook in the chuck and hook up your cores like Ive shown previously you shouldnt have a issue using more tension when wrapping but dont over do it, it should just be slightly understretched...if you make it a exaggerated amount it will cause bunching.
Also if you only get a inch of Alien perfectly clean and theres wire left on both sides...try making a Hybrid with it instead....Just use some high gauge wire and clapton the cores on both sides for about a inch..on a 3mm Id you can get 6 wraps with (3) 1" sections. Perfect hybrid.
Wash it out with warm water and dish soap..blow it dry inside and out and then grab some Royal Purple from walmnart or similar super thin oil...anything thicker then "water like" will slow the bearing speed down and male your cores twist...Oh yeah!

If you can get them air dried after a few hours, grab some Graphite Lube for best performance...its a dry lubricant that lasts a long time...it can be messy but its the closest thing to nothing at all..
Nice to see your back on again
BEAUTIFUL BUILD!

Good to be back bro! I think my whole ip range got tagged by vu and couldn't get anything here to load at all.Wash it out with warm water and dish soap..blow it dry inside and out and then grab some Royal Purple from walmnart or similar super thin oil...anything thicker then "water like" will slow the bearing speed down and male your cores twist...

You vape that thing yet? How's that airflow disk?
Not pretty but vapes amazing. 24g 316l 3mm id 8 wrap parallel. Ohms out at 0.1Ω. Vapes nice in my Titan tube mech mod.

Combo RDTA? How long have you had it. I'd like to get one but I'm afraid it will fail where many swapable deck attys fail. Like my Cthulhu v3. 
She was a damn good tank too.

Yes, that's the Combo RDTA. I'm using the IMC-2 deck. I love it. I have put everything from a standard 24g dual coil to the fused claptons it came with and now this 24g parallel. I love this tank. It has served me very well. I think I want a second one LOL.Combo RDTA? How long have you had it. I'd like to get one but I'm afraid it will fail where many swapable deck attys fail.

There's nothing to photograph really. The problem isn't visible.
Where the pin comes through the bottom and into the deck isn't the problem either. That pin threads into a nut and the post threads into that. That's where it failed. If I put two of mine on EScribe the load will bounce all over and 50% of the time the G2 says DAMAGED ATOMIZER. The one that still works...hahaha...I melted the insulator so the post sits crooked.
Loved them while they worked but now I prefer a more fixed connection.

Finally broke out the Nikon D70s and took some nice pics. I don't have any macro lenses but was able to snap these guys. Used AF-S 70mm lens with Promaster Extension Tubes. I'd really like to start a thread on photographing coils if one hasn't been made yet. Let me know what you guys think!
Pretty proud of them

Really nice. Great job.
Another alien Staggerton Variation...
I challenged the build community on Instagram to see if anyone else will attempt them,,it seems everyone else has posted macro cropped shots of a single wrap or wire shots lately....I want to see people push themselves a bit further and actually try and get one done!
SPECS: 6 x .4R/28g 316L Core, Framed with 28g 316L (5 wraps/3mm ID @ 05 Ohms Dual Coils)

Man those are crazy cool. I might just have to give them a whirl.
Awesome. I've always wanted to do those. Maybe I'll take a break from enigmas and try that after the new years.Another alien Staggerton Variation...

I may be doing a livestream tomorrow during the day to show people how I make them....enough people have asked if I would...
Pertty bonkers. Better than the last one...the alien fits together much better.Another alien Staggerton Variation...

I gotta get a bunch more wire and ribbon before I can even attempt it. I'm seriously lacking in the building supplies department. Time to fire up Amazon and go searching for other suppliers.
Does the live stream save? I'll be in the beach tomorrow and the wife will shove a coconut in my ass if she sees me watching coils while on vacationI hope to see you guys at least attempt them, if you need any help just ask

There's coconuts on your beaches? Come to the US...mostly dirty diapers and beer bottles.
J/W how to get spaced alien. There's using the wrong end of the decore, rolling the drill in the same direction both times and probably more I haven't thought of.
Yup! Beaches are the only good thing remaining here. We have the occasional condom here and there haha.
Sent from my VIE-L29 using Tapatalk
Better put that coconut in one first.
I always use the end of my decore to start wrapping with...I do that for all alien builds though but it shouldnt make a difference.
I understretch my decore slightly, then I lead with more tension when wrapping...you should be able to see the alien space..I suggest you finding a angle pulling it far ahead that works and keep it there for as long as you can before moving your hand...the father you can go holding that angle while wrapping the more consistent your spacing will be for longer.
You want slightly more spacing then the width of the wrap wire you using because you need room for the wavy design....getting them to be almost seamless is crazy difficult and this is why most people have given up when making these.
I'd be fine with gaps. I'd like little ones to let the ribbon show. But making the two aliens which use different decore sizes actually match with a similar wave pattern is what I'd try to focus on. If I can even get that far I can always play around with gap sizes.
Ive done a few Alien Staggs in the past...These are all different in gauges/wraps/cores...these are just the versions that made it...I have multiple versions that didnt coil properly that Ive only shown wire shots of...
Older Alien Staggs:
Wire Shots of Various Attempts:
I'm getting tired of builds that won't coil. I had a ssfc flop last night and a ribbon framed stagg flop the other day.
That still happens to me depending on what Im coiling on and the Ribbon used...I noticed If Im not confident in the first wrap then the rest seem to fail after..
Yeah once it goes the rest will follow. I've noticed with ribbon builds using the CM v4 that if you try to force the first wrap straight it will often fail.
8 ply 0.4 with 27g frames wrapped in 38g.
I really need some 40g for these. Too much curve on my staggs.
Very cool
That braid looks sick inside that pitchfork!Here I am, going on a vacation and decided to do a pretty hard build. There goes my sleep.
Any tips on zig zagged pitchforks?

Good looking coils right there. Bet the flavor is huge.
Great job on those aliens.
Thanks bro! It sucks I totally missed your live stream because I was in the middle of this.

Your alien staggs are looking cleaner and cleaner! I'll try having a go at them when I get back for the serpent mini 25 (so I don't need to make a long one haha)Some stuff I made during the livestream today...

More Alien Staggs...this time all round wire cores and thicker staggering and thinner fusing. 22" of just about perfect Alien Stagg...which was a miracle.

Nice looking twisted fused Clapton's. When I made some I didn't really like them. The ramp up time was stupid long, but they did give good flavor and vapor. Great job.
Great. One more thing I'm gonna have to buy now. No I'm not gonna buy one. I can't. I don't need it. I do need it. I have to have one.
