build day coming up missus relented to my moaning so I was able to get the revolver out earlier and make a mount for it ...can’t wait to use this puppy

Good thing is it swivels left and right with the drill so I can move the drill up at an angle and it will keep the wire straight still

Does it spin loosely? Take a lot of tension? I wonder if it will spin both quickly under a light load and under a big strain

I’ll let you know how it does at 2000 when I get to build but feels really nice though super smooth bone bearing inside....just a waiting game now I’m all set ready to go

It should do. I've put feather weight touch when wrapping and hard as I can grip and mine still spins well because of the bearings. Haven't used the revolver but I've seen good remarks about it on Instagram. Nice setup there @KingPin! Like the engraved measuring tape a lot dude :D

Here’s what it looks like in action @Pegleg Meg managed to grab this from their Facebook

I bought mine from brightwire uk they stock the patinos alien makers as well ...got in touch with patinos ages ago when alien makers first came out and they said they were going to be setting up uk retail through these guys directly so decided to use a legit source

Happy Easter to anyone that is celebrating! I did a couple more builds yesterday I did another frailen and a "Shredder Coil". I think the latter came out better than it did the last time. All in all I have to clean up my work a little but they are very vapable:treadmill:IMG_0854.jpg IMG_0853.jpg

Your already ahead of me, I still haven't made a stitched alien.
I have a couple builds I need to do but they don't include staggering and I really like to stagger stuff lol.
Only thing I'm doing is focus stacking images ... And I hate the photography part it's such a PITA that you(I)wish you was building, becomes the therapeutic part.

Haha ya I deff don't suggest 26G , 40G is the heaviest I like to use. 42G is my favorite.
Thanks for compliments bro, keep up the building

Really Impressive Staggered build! Really professional photography as well. How does the pair vape? I can kinda see what's going on it looks like a 6ply stack of ribbon in the middle framed with some more ribbon that's two and then staggered, two and then staggered ect. I'd love for you to tell me how you do that, I mean that looks really hard, and then at the very outside it's all framed with a round wire and then all the gaps are fused. Very complex build and I really enjoy the photo I think your color looks awesome.

Thx for the words man , much appreciated.
The build is 2x 4ply .3 N80 ribbon staggered with 42G N80 , the core is 6 ply .3 SS ribbon, skip fused together with 42G of some alloy I forget... Think SS.. and outside frames are 30G SS with final fuse being 42G SS.
Ohms at .06 prefire and vapes like a mean bitch on a triple parallel

I like you're work very much. It doesn't seem to be overly complicated(and I don't mean that in a bad way, I mean it in a good way), it just seems very technical and very very clean. I can really see you doing well selling your coils, I really can. You have that level of consistency that many people do not have. I myself do not have your level of consistently. Your able to do technical builds perfectly, over and over. You've earned a fan in me!:)

Just tried to do staple staggerton but i messed up my spacing on ribbon stack after 3 - 4 inches because my staggering weight was to small :D So i decided just to do rest of the wire regular staple coil. 6ply .45 ribbon and fused & staggered with 38G (frames on staggerton 28G). I'm super happy how they wrapped to the coil form but i needed to unwrap 1 wrap from regular staple and as it seems its not forgiving at all but its only the one lead :)

Ribbon wire doesn't like to be wrapped and then unwrapped. Found that out the hard way. Doesn't affect performance having the leads twisted up like, just something to remember for the "picture perfect" shot dude

Can't tell you how many Staples I've messed up from trying to pull a wrap out. Must be because of it being stood on its end that messes it up when trying to unwrap? Either way it's best to try and wrap perfectly first time. Clamping pliers help in that case I've found. Easier than using a vice, I think anyway. I just clamp the pliers round the wire and lie my wrapping rod on top clamped in my fingers. Then wrap as tight as I can. Sometimes I'll use pliers to grab the other end of the stick to wrap if the wire is particularly stiff. Ya might know these tricks already, I do find them very helpful though

Thanks Mach1ne! My work hasn't been as clean in my last few posts as it normally is. I bought a new drill with more battery power and I'm still getting used to the feel of it. As you can see my leads are jacked up. This doesn't prevent the coil from vaping well but ascetically it doesn't look as nice. I need to get back into my groove. Family and work responsibilities can be overwhelming at times and it's not always easy to find time to build but I will make the time to practice and improve. Posting leads like that is a little embarrassing but I know any decent builder is going to understand. Gotta keep on learnin.:banana:

When you wrap a staple, the ribbon stretches proportionately from the inner to the outer edge. It doesn't 'bounce back' when unwrapped - the outer needs a place to go. So the unwrapped portion gets distorted.

Failing like a boss today :cool:


Jerk ribbon lol
IMG_20180402_113509~2.jpg

I'm gonna try something like this later, I forgot to fuse the ribbon to the twisted strands like I planned, anyway, before I glued it all together

IMG_20180402_113345~2.jpg

I like how the twisted spaced claptons look like Greek clouds, or something, or waves or whatever

I'll call these 'the opposite of hat trix' and 'sad ode to william o'
