Interesting...It's really nice. I like it. Surprisingly alot of vapor from it. Very flavorful too. I get a little whistle when air is closed a bit but great airflow

This is the first build I've been able to shoot properly. I'm glad people are noticing.
I'm using a Sony smartphone, a $15 Zomei macro and a $10 tripod.
Thanks.

Idk about bronzed but it's red alright.Curious, but Is your Hohm Wrecker the Bronzed Red?
Thanks brother! I'll give it a try.I have the dripbox 160 too, another decent. Build I found with 24g is 8 wraps spaced with a 3.5mm ID. An easy way that I make spaced coils is to just wrap around your screwdriver with maybe 1/4inch spaces between wraps then once u put the last wrap on and even out the leads I just use my fingers to push all the wraps together against the base of the screwdriver and then I let go of the coil and the wraps just spring back out with even spaces in them. Hope this helps

Yea I was barely able to cram it in there. I knew I would be pushing it but just wanted to give it a try. Thanks for the pointers. My last was 3.5 at 7 wraps and it was ok. I'm going to be finding a new RDA soon with a squonk pin so I can build different builds. It does drain a lot of power. I mean there is about a 1 second delay on it when I hit the button. I do find I have to vape at way higher watts and the vape is cool with not a ton of flavor. How many wraps would you suggest at 3mm ID? Thanks again.Just rebuild the simple coils with a smaller ID. if you have to wait for something to heat you're draining you batteries and heating the atty. Plus 4mm ID looks way too big for that atty. I'd do 3mm.

3mm ID works in about everything pretty well. There are a few attys that like 2.5mm but yours isn't one of them.Yea I was barely able to cram it in there.

It's hard for me to tell you how many wraps to use because you're probably using a regulated box and I can figure out how many wraps of whatever = good vape.
Since I don't know how much power you have or want to use, I'd try the same amount of wraps just with a smaller ID and the same power then work your way down till you get something that's hot the instant you hit the button.

what atty is that?
Thanks brother! I'll give it a try.
B_D I purchased that handvise today mate woohoo did you use a hand drill or electric when you did the final wrap for that lot?
Sweet thanks mateI put the hand vise right into my drill should fit in your 1/2" chuck perfectly

It's the one that came with the Kanger Dripbox 160. Not a great one really I'm going to get a better one but just starting building so wanted to crank out a few builds before that.
it just looks rather large, like 28.8mm like my UD IGO-W14It's the one that came with the Kanger Dripbox 160. Not a great one really I'm going to get a better one but just starting building so wanted to crank out a few builds before that.
I just want to say...I hate ribbon...so much.

thats about all ribbon is good for in my hands.
Keep at it man! Im not tring to float the cores of stags anymore. Do you have a vice? Cause raymos suggestion to me worked wonders. After staggering the core leave it on the swivel. Bend the frames in half and attach to lose end with wire and glue put it in the vise pull it tight and wrap the frames around the swivel while pulling. Finish securing the swivel end with wire, slider and glue.Had my first attempt at a fused staggerton variant today not that pleased with it ...did make two but the other one was shocking so it went in the bin this one isn't all that much better either
Really struggled to keep the frames in shape as I was wrapping it think they slipped round half way through was trying to use the floating technique
Used pretty much the same materials Raymo posted a while back obviously his is flawless lol
If I had the choice would have used 0.4 ribbon but had to use 0.3
Anyway
it's got single 26g core with 36g staggered wrap
2 lots of 4 ply 0.3 x0.1 ribbon
2x28g frames
40g wrap

See thats what im always looking, be great to have it organized for each build type/techniqueAnyone here think of starting a new thread? One maney titled "It worked for me" with tips and tricks eg. aliens, ribbon stacking, staggering. Its kinda tough for me to find descriptions of techniques on this thread. Often the pros out there are answering questions multiple times. Mabey just keep the coil porn thread for pics, recipes, congratulations & encouragement? Whatcha think admins?

Get one that has jaws wide enough grab your drill but can also hold wire tight too. I use two diffeent ones heres what u use for holding wire and coiling.Thanks dusty I really need to get myself a vice dont have one!

Its tiny but clamps wire great and also serves as a rest for thw coil master mandrel.
And heres what i use for the drills.

Its very heavy so holds drill and wire tight without having to clamp it down.
Keep spinning!

@Eggen i feel your pain on that crumpled up ball of ribbon man
nice going @KingPin!, two nice builds on one page after a long break
welcome to the thread @Roger_Ripps98
got moved in to the new place today, but i work long days from now till tuesday so i prolly wont be set up any time soon. some of my daily setups need new coils bad. i have been hitting a magma clone in mtl mode with plain 28g coils in it at .8ohms. im dying to put something nice in it...im really thinking of trying a @Johnny VapeStand 32/42 alien, but im not sure if my balls have dropped enough to hit that build yet...
yeah, i had a couple days last week i could have easily made a few feet of fused claptons or a couple alien builds for my daily bangers, but i was all stressed out about moving and the timing of everything, it felt like i should be packing up all my tools if i touched them at all. i also hate to just settle for using my limited build time for easy maintenance builds like fused claptons or aliens, when i might be able to do a build i have never tried...but thats a risk in itself, because if i fail, it could be days before i have another chance to do a build. its a crushing existential dilemma man...Know what you mean mate I was running seriously low on everything but instead of knocking out stuff in bulk I've been fart arsing about as usual!

How the heck do keep the cores straight mate thought I'd take it easier to start with and just use 4 cores but for the life of me can't keep it flat it's enfuriating!
The clamp end is fine it's the swivel end I'm having probs with ...also did you use a key ring or something?
Good idea! I'll start - CLICK HERE for The Official Alien Coil Thread.i agree with @Dustyjeans @Jriley and @bobnat. this thread is a couple hundred pages too long to find all the good advice hidden within it. it might be a good idea to make threads for techniques, like a whole thread on how to do alien wrap (for anything, 3 cores, staple, framed staple. it doesnt matter what the cores are, the alien wraps always work the same), stacking ribbon, setting up swivels and hand vises, making spaced claptons for stagger variants (as staggering them), keeping many cores stable while wrapping, working with 40+ gauge wire etc...there are a lot of separate things that are discussed in here at length, but its hard to dig up the info now...
With extra sausage...At least it's not a pizza box.
Thanks man. Paraclap...just dawned on me it sounds like an std for someone with a sci (spinal cord injury)@Dustyjeans
I forgot what thread it was where I mentioned the paraclap thing and you said you were paraplegic so I'm posting this here.
Thus is how I paraclap:
2 sandwich sized ziplocks about 1/3 open with the wire poking out. Just let them feed you wire as you paraclap. I use the box to hold up the baggies.
You can also dual spool with 2 spools in one hand but it's hard to do across 18" or so.
