It "appears" to be perfect across the three core wires. Hump 1 on the left core wire, Hump 2 in the middle, Hump 3 at the last core wire.@PhantomOp looks ok to me, but its pretty hard to tell unless you are actually holding it and wrapping it up. good luck man
Looks good from here. If it starts to turn into a razorback, just apply a little more tension to the decore as you wrap it.It "appears" to be perfect across the three core wires.
Include (ignore) the dork up after the 2" mark, and I've got 6" of usable wire.Nice mate looks like you have enough there to a make a decent coil from it at least
Don't have the Pharaoh, but quite a few other single coil tanks. I may just make two KA1 core's now and throw the pair in one of my Aromamizer Supreme tanks ...If you have a Pharaoh, that's plenty for a nice beefy single coil. It'll give a really great vape!
i find that i make my decore clapton about 40% longer than what i need to make my aliens to end up and thats usually got me covered.Is it normal to not have enough clapton wrap to match the length of the core wires ?
Gotta figure out how to get better heating / coloring with a coil like this, but not bad. Lot of practice left to do though. That was fun.
Damn --- nice tip mach1ne -- thank you.the best tip i have heard for color shots is to pulse your coils at low power in the dark. makes it easier to see where the hot spots are way before anything gets hot enough to color...
yeah fused claptons are always a great choice. i pretty much only use them on single battery mechs now that i can build whatever i want, but they are such a good balance of effort:results. i made both of those pairs in four minutes total, they will vape for weeks, they perform great, and in the case of the nopity, they are pretty much the fanciest coils that fit without interfering with the (already tight as fuck) airflow...Damn --- nice tip mach1ne -- thank you.
Nice MECH pics also. I love Fused Clapton coils. Flavor has always been damn good.
...and that's why they're so popular. Welcome to the club!Holy Hell! That is one smooth flavorful vape.
I sat down about 45 min ago and decided to rip out another run. This time I got two coils out of a single run.To do something consistently good you need experience. Experience come from failure. In order to be good you have to fail. Or at least have some imperfections.
Gonna give the alien another go later myself got my wire through now also got my washing pegs ready and my fishing spooler for the claptons lol
Made 3 types for the pegs
1 for single core claptons
1 for fused claptons
1 for spaced claptons
If these babies work will make everything so much easier in the early stages assuming it isn't a disaster I'll take some pics of the rig
For some reason, I've not had any issue with Clapton or Fused Clapton coils. Once I got some decent ball bearing swivels I just hook up the wire and set the wrap in my drill chuck and hit full speed until it's done. I hold the spool in my hand like Squid Doode does in his videos. That may have to change though once i move past 36g wire wrap though.Paper clips, spool tamers and fishing weights or anything to hold the spool below so it doesn't spin around the wire. Tried and tested method makes anything without alien wraps very easy.
Yeah but when you get even lazier than that it's the way to goFor some reason, I've not had any issue with Clapton or Fused Clapton coils.

Speaking of ball bearing swivels ... I picked up mine from Walmart. Cheap, say they are stainless steel (I don't think they are) and I can burn them up in no time at full speed. Am I better off to find some on Amazon or should I invest in this Spin ONE Coil Builders Bundledecent ball bearing swivels
I own the SpinLT and those Chuckies and they're awesome. I use the SpinLT to build all my coils, the Chuckies I just got so I can't really say I'm used to em yet but they seem promising for certain applications. I posted my review of the SpinLT on here a few weeks ago if you're interested on seeing the performanceSpeaking of ball bearing swivels ... I picked up mine from Walmart.

I tried laying mine across my workbench (failed). I then just let mine lay off to my right side down to the floor. That is when it caught on my chair (fabric instead of leather). It worked out easier to lay it off to my right side until it snagged that is...Is there a trick to avoid the de cored clapton from tangling up as I wind guys?
Yea, I was afraid my Lab would do the same thing. I closed my office door just to keep him out. That doesn't fix the kids walking in and stepping on it though.I know how ya feel. My dogs like to sneak up and lay down right on the decore.

Put it in a big empty plastic bucket or waste paper bin by your side. It won't pick up any fluff etc off of the floor then either.Is there a trick to avoid the de cored clapton from tangling up as I wind guys?
Looks really damn good KingPing! --- Way to go!View attachment 76022 Well tried the hang it over a chair trick did the trick perfectly woohoo progress people now if only I could keep it this consistent for more than a 2.5 inches lol still I worked out tension I need to hold it ...my core wires started to group up struggled to start and stop and maintain everything
still considering I'm trying to run here before I'm walking with 28g cores and 38g wrap well pleased
Thanks buddy the thought of starting it all again for another go though argggggg need to churn out like 3 claptons to practice with so only feels like I'm starting half way through each timeLooks really damn good KingPing! --- Way to go!
