While not a coil builder I had been doing some experimentation to cool off a vape on a new 3X18650 Series tube mech and decided to do some cloud chasing.

Which of course sent me down a rabbit hole.

2 X 24 Gauge Kanthal A1 and 1 X 22 Gauge Nichrome 80 twisted.

Cant really tell from the photo but I flattened it out. Was going to hammer it flat but wifey was napping. Filed down and sandblasted clean a pair of cheap needle nose pliers and flattened the shit out of them. Made about 3 ft worth of usable.

Decided to test it out on the Hog V3 and a Mad Modder Prohibition Edition 30mm RDA

After some careful spacing, a very wide coil (each coil is 6 in) and adding an additional mm of length to each leg it came out to about .45 and with some HE 4's, wicked with rayon did not burst into flames and produces a pretty cool and cloudy vape.

We have had to open the windows because I fogged out the house.

This is the MTL build I was talking about. Only simple but it works well for me :) 2 30g twisted together then 2 of the twisted wires fused with 46g. Practically instant glow at 20w and is .34 ohms

I'm still finding it hard to adjust to 46g, can barely see the shit as it's moving lol. I'll get there eventually :)

You fooled me, I couldnt see the coils because I have to open the pictures larger on my phone - you said simple and what I saw did not look simple :teehee: looks badass is what it looks

Nice one meg :) I don't think it's all that complicated, just a bit of a bitch to get nice smooth fusing. Might also be down to the selection on cores/amount of twist etc. Have to keep practicing lol.
I wouldn't worry too much about the name, it can be changed later on if you come up with a better one. Good to see you on there though, now get sharing lol

I love the look of this build. It came out really cool! So you're just twisting two wires together and claptoning them? How's the flavor? Thanks again for the beautiful photos!

I'm diggin it bro. Your stuff is looking better and better each day. So great to see your progress. Staggered stuff kills me too. I mean I can do it but its a major PITA for not that much benefit in flavor IMO so I'll only do a SSFC once in a while and even then they are usually nothing to go nuts about. Wait till a year from now you'll be building circles around us all!;)

Thanks, Shredder! But it was actually a collaboration between myself and a member of the TVF forum that came up with it.

Well its beautiful none the less. One day I'll figure out how to make the coil! You've witnessed me figure out a lot up until this point. Largely because you inspired me to be better with Purecoils.:D If you look a little up the page you'll notice I got that 40g binding down. Finally:stars:

This is such a clean fralien. What a great job Meg. Your so super talented Superhero.

Thanks man, I was shocked at how smoother wrapping goes after I changed how I hold my drill. Not important but there's no ribbon in that alien :cool:

I took my Templar apart today, the zinc insulator is broken in half. I broke it. :oops: Round wire builds fire fine, everything else shorts at the posts. I kept tightening trying to get shorts out, and it snapped I guess, probably the day I got it. Huh :oops:.

I really like this RDA otherwise? Except it doesn't effing work with any coils I want to put in it...

NO RIBBON!?!?!? Forget everything nice I ever said about you. JK!!! You have a unique ability to make very aesthetically beautiful coils and you're one of the most active builders on this site. I don't know how you manage it. I have little ones myself and I'm lucky if I can get a build up a week. I have the Templar myself I bought it from PureCoils.com. I happen to love the RDA. I hope my zinc insulator doesn't break! At least they are affordable. Maybe it would just be worth getting another one I dunno. Seems like a good RDA. I'm sorry your insulator broke.:oops:

Nice one Shred mate, I proper appreciate the kind words. Its not just twisted wires then claptoned. It's 2 lots of twisted wire fused together parallel. The flavour off it is great, got a strawberry, lemon, lime and melon MTL mix in here and its mouth watering haha. Again nice one dude

Ahh I got it, two lots of twisted wire claptoned together with a high gauge wire. Hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea and giving it a try hehe.:idea:. I'm always looking for a new idea for a coil. Sounds delicious!

On a random note: waterfalls/banes burn the inside of your nose with 18mg juice need to makes a new batch at 12 me thinks. Also for a MTL build it can kick a fair bit of vapour out

Was going to be a nice framed staple. Then it collapsed. I guess the clothes pins aren't for this one. Ribbon sliders it is. I planned on the pins for the staggered framed staples. Figured I'd try this. Boo

My second try at Mohawk. So close I can feel it hehe got a couple good wraps. Next time I think I’ll get it right. I think twisting the cores together a little bit helps. Funny how an alien wants to collapse, yet the Mohawk wants to flatten out.

Really clean dude... those Patinos sliders are a god send... I just use them as sliders now to keep the wire together, I stopped letting them glide with my alien wrap... to many times it got caught on a twist and messed me up lol

Very cool man. They are not that hard if you stretch the decore a little less than you normally would and you find the tension and the groove you need. I posted one a while back. I hadn't done one in a while and I had to get that feeling back cause it's different from a regular alien but you did a great job. The more you practice the cleaner they get:)

I'm not 100 happy i want tighter wraps.. :tantrum: but it's okay these macro shots makes me want to do best :eek::D
Click to expand...
Honestly the faster you can spin the drill while you are in your alien groove the tighter the wraps are going to be. I figured this out while doing fraliens. If I went along half inch by half inch the wraps would be a lot looser and inconsistent. If I get in the grove and then pick it up to full speed there is a moment where the binding starts off spaced and then quickly tightens up while still in the groove. You can tell its working when the drill is spinning at full speed and your still progressing slowly on the core wires while in the groove. That's an indication that the wraps are wrapping as close as they can get next to one another and its the only way I do my alien binding. Just food for thought.:D

With macro lenses and the right light you will see spaces most of the time. I think when you slightly overstretch the decore like with wider fraliens the gaps can get tighter. Also thinner gauge decore will give you a smoother finish, and less noticable gaps :)

I started standing up again so I can hold the spool farther away from the drill, that helps a lot, the farther the better and the faster it can go

Ramming speed!

I noticed the same on my triple cores last night. I usually hold the wire 3 or 4 inches away. With those I was about 8 away and it was a lot smoother.
