Post your builds

[KingPin!]

I'm so out of practice it isn't even funny :/ glad I've got the clamps in my hands now though @KingPin! I never got charged an import fee yano, mine were sent to an old address, luckily they kept hold of them for me, but no charges or anything of the sort. The price on the outside was about $35 as well so I don't know how they slipped through

Those clamps shipped for me yesterday, I wonder if I'll get to see some raymo coils up close

Ever so lovely staggers staggers fo life !

Spent quite a while to get that! That's my first clean one, I had a good start with 3 cores but I didn't make my straw stand sturdy...lol bad prep = bad build, lots of lessons learned today!

Yeah i think straw is needed only with more than 3 cores. I just put them on the swivels and i leave inch or to unclaptoned portion if it have to move it will move and at the halfway thru i but my paperclip away and let them be free i can just put presure and it will go by it self on a 90 degree angle. this is how í do my 3 core staggs.

Edit: And remember to pinch the fusing wire every half inch or less if needed. Makes it super clean and cores will stay on paralell

What MTL atty's do you use and like ?

i have a few pretty weird/old ones that i use, but i will recommend the kayfun prime for a nice mtl tank thats still on the market.

glad I've got the clamps in my hands now though

fuuuuck yeaaaahhh

 

[KarmicRage]

For an MTL attys that's very close to cigarettes have a look at the berserker, I've found it to be very similar to an actual cigarette. And you don't understand how happy I am @mach1ne Just got to get back to the spin of things and get busy again

I have already messed around with them like, only did a 28/38 SFC to see how they felt. Came out pretty damn clean considering I haven't worked at the wire for about a fortnight. I'll upload a pic in a bit. I'm hoping to smash out some alien helixes and that ridged SSFC. Had a lot on recently though so may take me a bit to get back to spec. Will definitely be uploading and participating here again though, missed you guys

Nice!! I'm thinking of gettin couple of MTL attys and drippers do throwback and grab one o nthe go so i don't pull clouds in public What MTL atty's do you use and like ?

After all the tanks I've used for MTL, I gotta recommend a little 1 battery squonker and a tiny atomizer with a bottom feed pin. I used small mods and small tanks for a while, but having your liquid safe inside a box and no worries about leaking or dry hits is amazing! You can wick all willy-nilly and still, doesn't matter!

- or an SXK BB Box (billet box clone), one stays in my pocket most of the time

Back on building, I'm getting some tools in the mail today, including some nylon pliers, loupe, hand drill, and some nice hardened flush cuts so more staggering when I get time

Today was the first time I got a really clean stagger more than once in a row, broke down and used 38 awg though instead of 40, but that's okay... I used this, kinda like what @machine showed in the stagger thread but twisting the wire until it was tight up against the core


I think it may work for 40 awg too as long as I'm very careful

this is what happens when you buy a crap ton of RDAs at once, you end up using a really nice one as a weight lol

Pretty sure he just threw a set of those in cause I case him on Instagram about how clean his are haha nice to see a properly done pair up close though. Definitely gotta get my building going again so I can achieve them perfectly, they just look boss when the wraps are done cleanly, not the jumbled mess mine sometimes come out like haha

So how do you guys stabilize these hand drills to make them useful? I got this like 2 months ago, and it's been sitting in a drawer ever since.

I don't have one (yet) however, my plan is to clamp it in a vice. (which is also on the list)

Just got mine today! @mach1ne uses a couple of hose clamps, I'm going to use either hose clamps or zip ties to attach it to a wood block, and put the wood block in the same drill press vice I hold my corded drill in. You could put it on a block and then clamp the block to the table, alternatively

just be careful not to crush the drill with the hose clamps

 

[Branpro]

I used a bike seat post reflector bracket and a clip for hanging garden tools lol. I’ve seen a lot of people just clamp it in a vise though.

 

[Branpro]

Stretched my decore too much, made it work though, didn’t want to waste the wire.

Try regular fishing weights! They are cheap and can be bought in many wieghts! i use 10-40 grams weights depending on how thick wire im using and dont twist the thinner wire just put tension on it and pinch it to the end of clpaton wire

 

[zephyr]

Trying my 10x loupe, not very much closer eh?

And happy Easter

I'm going to stick here and don't even bother to start in finish forums cuz they pretty much all dead or like 10-20 good ppl posting there.

Yea if it wasn't for everyone in this thread I'd still be vaping single wire and parallel coils. Nothing wrong with that but I'm liking the fused clapton and Staples a lot more.

For me, I'm going to go backwards and work on being more careful in prep and making very clean wraps before I move on any further

...I hope I remember this when I want to try a 20 ply staggered alien or whatever it will be lol

That's because he misused the CODE option (normally used for code, such as HTML, C++, etc.). The t=535 is the timestamp in the video where he shows how to mount the drill.

 

[mach1ne]

well i failed an alien stagg attempt last night, so im going to try again if i get a chance tonight. i got lots of clean parts, but not a whole coil worth. one thing i took away from the failure though, was for the first time i could see the second pass going into the spaces of the first. in the clean spots it seemed to place itself right where it would fit effortlessly. i feel like if i could get the first pass with perfect spacing, the second 'could' be very easy. until i saw that happen, i thought the second pass was the harder one. i think i just got lucky on my successful attempts at this build so far. with each attempt, failure or not, i get another little tiny detail to help me change it from luck to a working technique.

 

[Carambrda]

The part with the question mark is the timecode, but that part gets automatically removed by the forum software if I just post the link so I have to put the link between code tags to work around that problem... the number at the end of the link is the number of seconds. (535 seconds = 8 minutes 55 seconds.)
