Thats one of the things I LOVE about the Boreas... I have three. They all come with two decks. I bored the juice holes out in the small ones so they are the same size as the large ones, and now I can have 6 different builds set up and simply swap them in or out as i want. I normally try to keep one or two empty incase I get bored and want to build a set of coils.

Last time I went a building the result was this bag. So I don't have to go a-building for long long time. Unless the tinkering mood takes me.

On this monstrosity I glued everything together before fusing...the center stagg became offset from the pressure of the handvise pressing the glue...I did my best to fuse it anyway..

Dude @raymo2u, that massive huge coil at at the bottom is super sick, and then i saw the (flattened?) wire running through it! Really clean sexy build.

Lol i just learned that adding the @ sign before a name makes it special...im so far behind the times
Its labeled as a Inception Coil. Usually its the same wire coiled inside then coiled around the outside similar to whats shown but recently people have been making them with 2 different cls and calling them by the same name.
Ive made a few of them and I thoought it would be cooler then just 2 wraps of that monster alone. (it was .9x.3 Square wire btw)

Original Inception Coil:

Ok i got ya, ive heard that before but didnt know what it was. Few quick questions if you dont mind? Can one even wick that kind of coil? And is it a process fitting the smaller coil inside of the larger one or do you just stick one leg in and work it around like when you bring a large kitchen table through a doorway?
Btw, i had no idea they made square wire lol

Vertical Install with the aim for both cloud production and flavor and I must say, this build lived up to the hype. Lasted a SOLID two weeks plus with regular cleaning it absolutely chuckeddd :p

**This is just insane. Those inception coils are SO dope. Much wire skills & photography skills! Always a pleasure to check out!

Ooooh the mage gta, ive heard that thing has delicious flavor. That juice sounds pretty good too. Do you have the issue with the mage people talk about where it has a bubble under the deck that keeps it from wicking?

I thought so at first, but it goes away. People are just paranoid. And I use Max VG, too.

Nice, id say you're right about the paranoia. I figured a little wiggle here and there would probably solve the issue. Hey you might could help me right quick! I dont need to know the whole process and dont wanna cause you to write a book but when making a tsuka do i twist the ribbon and clapton the opposite way or clapton and decore like an alien?

Interesting - Do you have any pics of the wicking?

Sure! It was actually a full sheet cut of organic cotton into four. then two other pieces (1/4 inch). I cut that 1/4 inch piece into two pieces and then primed the first wick at the top, stuck it to the previously installed wick and formed a half moon to three quarter wrap around the deck. (Griffin 25 - Velocity Deck) Then I used the last strand of wick and completed the entire circumference of the deck creating a "nest". I have nothing but praise for thid build. CLOUDS; 10/10, FLAVOR 10/10. Check out the buildersbible youtube.com for "Vertical Install" for more information! Cheers!ajbIGM1.JPG

Wow i didnt think that was possible. Vertical builds are great for flavor but a super bitch to wick

Alright i think i kinda figured this out. I did 3 cores of 26g ni80, twisted .5 k ribbon (and figuring out how much to twist that shit was annoying! I kept having to take it out and twist, load up the cores, try again, didnt work so twist some more...about 4 times) wrapped it around a 3mm. Ohms out to 0.28. This is my first attempt at a tsuka and im pretty happy! It's got a few flaws but hopefully i can work out the kinks with practice.0118172330.jpg 0118172351a.jpg 0118172351_Burst01.jpg 0118172359.jpg

Nice build man!

How do you prep the staggered frames before loading it into the chuck?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
With round frames I get them side by side with the gap I want with the ends hanging off the table then I put a mousepad on them with weight. Them I glue a 1" bead and twist the ends together. Repeat.
Using ribbon frames it's the same only I bind them.

That first photo is SO dope. That's a perfect example of how much respect it takes to pull off that intricate wirework.

My first attempt at a mohawk build. Pain..in..the..ass. 3x 26g k, 34g ss wraps. I couldnt keep my cores flat, maybe from not stretching enough? Idk. The wraps kept pulling them together as they fell into place. It worked out. Mostly even wraps on two coils, one better than the other so i stuck the good one in my original avocado. Its best with single coils and the 24 is best for duals. Definitly going to need to practice this one more.0119172216.jpg 0119172226_Burst01.jpg 0119172217.jpg 0119172218.jpg 0119172228c.jpg

Apparently you're meant to have the cores bunched in a triangle? Either way killed it!

Yea they were trying to triangle and i had a ribbon slider to hold thr cores flat and i was pinching the wire in front of the wraps to try and keep them flat but it just wasnt working. Bad thing with this particular build is you can't pinch the wire where you've already wrapped or you'll ruin it. They sorta straightened themselves out when i coiled it up though. Thanks for the props though i appreciate it! :cheers:
