Thanks and neither have I. Never seen a pic of one and I looked around for a bit. It has to have been built before, too many people building to not to.

1485656492576.jpg 1485656704204.jpg I finally got my merlin mini and have been using it for a week now. I freaking love this thing. Its literally one of the best vapes I've got off an rta. I started off using thd dual coil deck with some standard fused claptons and it was great. Those got dingy so now i wanna try the single coil deck. I installed that stapled spaced clapton coil i made a while back. The wire was almost too big for the posts and it messed up the spacing a little bit but its fine, im not trying to win any awards...yet lmao.
(yea i figured out i could put my call tag on pics with a simple photo editor...having fun playing with that)

Very cool. I think I need to make a tag and start putting it on my pics. What app or program do you guys use?

I just got one i saw in google play store. Its literally called "photo editor". Some of the others wont let you pick a font which sucks but the one i got works pretty good. Idk what all it does but seems like lots of stuff

There have been a few, H_hasselback, Schizopart and I have made them in the past. Very few have made it though but you should feel pretty exclusive about it ;)

I don't usually play with the color shots but in this case I had both reposted by thevapingrepost at roughly the same time and the edited one got way more likes.

Thanks whiteowl for sharing that photo editor app info. I downloaded pixlr and wow...thats a badass free app! I had a lot of fun just playing around with it. Im wanting to get better at coil building and now photography of the coils. The photos are just as cool of an art as vaping the coils! Heres what i came up with on my first go at it. Pictures still blurry no matter how i edit it though lol.

Lol actually no i didnt make that one. Eventually when i have some free time im going to design something myself that better fits me but i found that on google and was like "damn how bout that". I do have a macro lens as well but its not the best. Im still on the hunt for a better one, and it might be my phone too, idk. I havet upgraded in a while so im behind the time a bit. Is there a way to upload my own designs to photos using pixlr?

I use this one:


Ok so I can't post the link...go to ebay and search: zomei macro
It's the first one.

To bring in photos I use double exposure.

Ill have to check that out when i get on a pc, cant see it on my phone. Im thinking maybe i could make a png file and then overlay it on photos, that could work.

Are you going outside with good lighting? Or bare minimum using a light box?
My indoor boxless pix are awful and the light box aren't as good as outside. You don't need the sun just for the color shot. Better light hitting the coils means there's more light being focused into the camera. You can focus closer and on a larger area.

A light box can be made with a box, black fabric, a clamp light and a 5k bulb which you can get at walmart.

Hey aspr is back! I was wondering where you been man! Now I see you were busy building some badass, hard to make coils. Those look beautiful to say the least man. Did you pick up KBee wire for a sponsor? If so that's great. I love the look of hybrid coils but don't even know where to start when making them. My mind cannot comprehend it.
