its not cheating to use any technique available, but ill give you a small warning regarding the spool tamer trick: if your wire isnt spooled properly and snags on itself, prepare for a shitstorm
especially if you are trying to go full auto and tape your drill trigger down lol (trust me). over time, i gave up on all the jigs and machines because they can make mistakes too. if i am gonna waste wire on a mistake, i will only accept my own mistakes i made with my own hands. dont rely on a coil making machine, become a coil making mach1ne 
(ill see myself out...)
What's the trick to that?spool tamer? I looked for those at Walmart in the beadalon section and the woman had no clue what I was talking about
i thought i was just making a bad pun...was expecting the hook to show up from stage left and drag me away
now i just have to decide if im going to run in on the black hog or the notorious tube...

Tonight's attempt at the alien stagg. Getting cleaner. Still needs work to get it perfected. 5x28g/36g, ohms .16 and all ss316l.

Fuck that, work smarter not harder. Like mach1ne said, same ends. You did great buddy. Dont downplay yourself.
again it's all thanks to @raymo2u that I got this far, cheers dude
I will say though @KingPin! that it seems to me that the hardest part is the getting the spaced alien core down right. The alien wrap around the frames just seems to pull into place as long as you don't lead too much or too little. I'd say it's worth giving it a try, if I can get this far then I'm certain half you guys, at least, could achieve it too. Raymo made it seems real easy anyway. 2 decores, one wrapped around 28g the other wrapped around 24g. Lead at about 40 degrees from straight down or out and try to keep that angle. Don't know if it makes much difference but it seems like the decore for the cores is slightly overstretched to be able to wrap around without pinching too tightly or collapsing them. Just my thoughts on it upto now like, any more revelations while I'm working shit out and I'll pass it on

I think it definitely looks more daunting than it feels actually trying it. It has that look of complexity but it really isn't that hard to attempt. I didn't even use bindings for the frames, that staggered alien core has more rigidity than you would think and as long as the frames are tight at the top and bottom they tend to stay exactly at the sides. I'm more of a big single coil vaper myself, don't mind a nice dual coil but I like them to look absolutely the same. Easier for me to vape a big single coil lol.
Another attempt, needs to be cleaner still as I only got enough for a clean 3/4 coil but I like a 4/5 so got a bit fucked up on the last wrap. Only just wicked and juiced one last night though so won't be throwing this into use yet.

Looks like you could get 2 more half wraps which equals a whole if you catch my drift. Leave the shitty part at the postAnother attempt, needs to be cleaner still as I only got enough for a clean 3/4 coil but I like a 4/5 so got a bit fucked up on the last wrap.

Very nice! I believe you have an inherent talent for this stuff!

You space the first little bit then clapton the next one between it?
Is it the act of wrappng that is the pain? If so when I did this to do a staggered fused Clapton all I did was pinch the wires with my pointer finger and thumb and spun the core. Now that was using 2 lengths of 30 gauge...it was my first and never did it again. But raymo2u used a Ziploc bag when claptoning I don't see why you couldn't do 2 Ziplocs.Riding a bit of a buzz from some sleep meds, so, I’m a bit foggy with following what you mean, lol.
Not sure how easy it is to tell from the pics (even using thicker gauge wire for the purpose of making it easier to see), but I’m interlacing the two strands of 36ga between my middle and ring fingers parallel and then having one strand running along the inside of my pinky and the other strand running on the outside of my pinky to help keep them from crossing...the part I’m pinching at the top is where I’m guiding it along the core.
I’m betting that the fact that I don’t use any type of swivel setup and am just freehanding it isn’t doing me any favors
You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!
