Dual 10 wrap, 3mm, 24g, A1 build in a 13 Heavens 9 Hells, on a Noisy Cricket, at .54 ohms, .6 after wick and juice. Hits like a truck and Clouds and Flavor are better than I remember.

I love it! Noisy Cricket Fo Lyfe!


12/11 lol, but hey who's counting? Anything over 8 wraps and I call it "a fuckton of wraps for a series mod"
11 and 2 half wraps make 12. Maybe I'm wrong though

Edit oh my bad you're right. I counted eleven the first time. But it's 10 and 2 halves

Just one half wrap I think, 11 full wraps then one more half to make the leads face the same direction

So damn confusing to me some times. I spent 2 years wrapping one less for counting the first half as a wrap. Ugh

You’re right, it’s a fuck ton of wraps but the flavor and cloud production is pretty damn good. Lots of surface area.

I used to use a 12/13 wrap claptoned 0.5 ribbon build on my Kennedy Trickster 24(2 post) and Noisy Cricket...with no cotton lol, fuckton of wraps held That Much juice (for one, incredibly thick, cloud)

Rahhhhh!!! F yeah!
thats pretty much what i said when i sat up from fusing the second pass of this and seeing it was clean :cheers: its funny, if you get the angle right, you can go as fast as you want. if you make a mistake and stop/rewind, it takes like 10 mins to go an inch to get it all cleaned up and find the groove again. i made 9 inches in total and i swear 90% of the time i spent on the second pass was for about 3 different inches :giggle:

Dude!!! I used to be on the Oracle mailing list many, many moons ago! Is it still around? I'm gonna hafta do a Google search right now...
if you are referring to the oracles that specialize in database technology, then this is not the same mailing list. these oracles mainly use mountaintop signal fires and freaky visions to communicate. they only recently got a mail server set up as well. way late to the party on that one.

8x0.3 + 28 frames/40 Kanthal D
5.5 wraps 3mm
Lucky 0.13 ohms

It looked better with my eyes than with a camera, not too bad though

*passes out from cloud overdose*

I tested out the 46 on one strand of 28 for a MTL build, tried to take a picture...my eyes can't see wraps and neither can my camera

Working on claptoning doesn't have to be boring.

@CrazyChef v2.0 that gator tail coil looks like its got a weird photoshop filter on it or some kind of under water thing going on. i had to open in a new window and zoom in a little to 'get over it' and see it properly :cheers: wild
Here's a couple better shots. It's pretty easy to make. It takes a few wraps to catch, but once it does it's pretty easy going after that. Gotta angle the outer wire forward a bit like wrapping an alien. Also works best with 40g or thinner wire.

My fav build it's too hard to believe anything vapes better than this build.I haven't done nichrome yet though.
The only thing fancier I sometimes make is a staple staggered fused clapton and the flavor on those is tits, but they are wide as hell and I don't always feel like vaping my tits off all the time lol. I highly recommend Nichrome man, super quick ramp up time.

nice! thats the first time i have seen the cores for that. i always thought it was a twisted ribbon stack that was hammered out and claptoned. very cool build :cheers:

@Ishkabibble those look pretty perfect to me :cheers:

I'm vaping on it now it wasn't what I was expecting great vapor production hands down but the flavor is right under the 3 core aliens imo.

The staple staggered fused clapton? What device you have it on? Hey flavor is totally subjective anyway!

Twisted outer huh, nice! Is the benefit heat, more nooks and crannies, both? Nice coils man

Thanks Ishka :) well I’ve found two things: is a little spitty with the bare twisted wire and it takes a little longer to heat

I think it more for looks than practicality although it still kicks out plenty of flavour and cloud

Lovely Alien by the way!! Nice work

2x26 with 46, different color stages, light blue/green is first, then gold, then purple, then...looks like a rainbow, depending on the lighting

It actually seems like the thinner the wire, the farther behind the wrap I can hold the spool - this kept going forward until I was like 10 degrees or more Behind where it was wrapping
