I've gotta give it to you brother you have staple coils down. Like you have mastered the F**K out of making staple coils. I'm looking in my crystal ball and I can see fraliens in your future!

It's awesome :yes: good vape?

Vapes great! Except one of the coils in the build heats a bit faster than the other no matter what I do. The posts are tight and even if I squeeze it to where the spacing is closer, that coil still lags a bit. I think it has something to do with the clamp screw being bottomed out on that side of my Bonza RDA and can't get any tighter. The platform that secures the coil is a little angled from the pressure. I'm going to look into further when I get a chance.

Congratulations gsmit ...that’s awesome!

And I see that I missed you before sir. No slight intended. I appreciate the props very much. :)

So from braiding for 7 hours and failing yesterday i decide to change a bit. I still spent 4hours making this today but i once saw this coil in coil wars and i wanted to do it so bad It's not complitely clean but i don't care Colours turned out so great that i'm goin to try take better pictures with natural lighting soon.. specs: inner 2*30/8ply .3/40 Outer: 2*28/40. I helixed 17 strands of that 40awg .. :grumpy:

PS. I think i know what i did wrong so the helix is not perfect to steep of a angleand to many helixes so they turned a bit... next time i will do like 5-6 helixes so they will be perfectly straight :)

I don't even think I'd vape that beauty. I feel like a putzz if I take 2 hours to do a framed staple. But I stop prepping a lot to mess with other stuff. Dogs out, kids smacked up. You know. Lol such a beautiful coil.

Edit. I really don't smack my kids up. I just make them think I will. Like I'll bust your head to the white meat if you yell at me again. Lol always joking though.

A helix in a helix, F**king awesome man. I would attempt something similar... but I don't have 4 hours. I'm so dead tired from work.:zombie: If I'm lucky I'll do a fralien tonight.:giggle:

Did you make a pair of those or just one?

What a beautiful build. I'm still learning the ins and outs of corrugated builds but I'm getting better. I hope to be able to do builds like this one day soon. Really beautiful.
Thanks bro, I really do appreciate it! I wish I didn’t rush my prep on this one, my cores pulled apart when I wrapped the coil. Worst part, I’ve made this mistake a few times. Apparently I like touching fire a few times, to make sure it’s still hot lol.
Just like any build, I believe it’s all in practice and prep, then repeat etc. For example, your aliens are light years ahead of mine. Last year that’s all I vaped, sadly it’s not like riding a bike. I can’t alien anything smaller then 36g anymore, and what I can do is blah.
I’m no corrugated expert, but let me know if you have any specific questions, perhaps one of us can help.

Same for me,
If it doesn't work this way, keep trying to Make it work (and fail) 100 times, just to make sure it really doesn't work

If it Does work, try something different (and fail)

That's why I call myself a slow learner, I make the same mistake over and over before I finally smarten up and do it right

I guess if I was to think of one or two specific questions about your process it would be 1) what do you use to corrugate your wire; I have a paper crimper that makes ribbon zig zag kinda. 2) Is there any special consideration when it comes to coiling your corrugated build? I've done a lot of builds through the years. The one thing I am really good at when I want to be is making aliens and fraliens. I'm not saying I'm the best, I've posted my fair share of sloppy stuff, but when I really care and try hard I get my aliens and fraliens very very tight, consistent and clean. I also have a range of how wavy I can make my wraps. I would put my best aliens up against M. Terk's aliens any day to be honest, as I'm sure many here would.:giggle: Your coils just have a super cool look to them and great great color!

I dont know what this would be called.
(2) 2X22G NI80 twisted and spaced wrapped with 38g Kanthal A1. Im not even sure it will be safe to use. This was just practice with the drill and practice spacing.

This was my second attempt and yielded a real usable Coil. Still dont know what it is called.
2X26G NI 80 + 1 28G Kanthal A1 twisted (Two of these), space wrapped in 34G Kanthal A1
Nice.jpg

Came out right at .5 Ohms with both coils. Going to test this out on the Mad Modder it is on and the HOG since this is a fair amount of coil. Sorry for the wonky photo. I was holding a magnifying glass and a phone behind it.

That's cool. Twisted 22 is a super hot vape but that looks like it can do a good job making vapors

I use this paper crimper off of amazon. This crimper make zigzags(ish), but you can stretch it a bit, to give it more curve etc. I prefer the metal gears over the plastic, but it takes a day to soak and clean the machine oil off of them. The prep needs to be slow and tight, when binding the cores, or one will move/stretch, (like in my last coil). Also, I always find it easier to keep at least one piece of flat ribbon on the sides of the waves, between frames. Without that, they can snag on the frames and once again move/stretch. Minus that, it’s the same as all builds, bang your head into a wall until progress is made lol.

Dude I think we have the exact same crimper.:giggle: Thanks for explaining that to me. I might use the last build you posted as a model for my first corrugated success!:cheers:

Wow man that’s smooth coloring. I’ve been trying to do coloring with limited success. How long did you spend getting it colored? What wattages?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Not for long i started from 10 watts because this is high res build :) from there and if needed pumb it up a litle bit to 15 or 20 watts :)

Great coils!!! I love that they are all N80. I bet they dual out pretty low. I love the exact same build only as a single coil on a mech with 5 wraps. Great job!:cheers:
Eh, .10 ohms. Not terribly low. But low enough for me lol. I hate kanthal (has a funky taste to me). Built my first Nichrome coil about week 3 of my building adventure (4 years ago), threw out the kanthal, and Nichrome has been all I've used since. I like 316 SS too, but ohms too low for my taste in coils. Thank you as always for your kind words. I'm an old retired combat veteran, and this is about all me and my bifocals do nowadays lol.

I'm happy with it. everything fits nicely, looks good.. hits quite well.. if I don't end up with something else from this guy or guys, it's not due to quality - it'll be because I couldn't find anything else I wanted. my only complaint is I wish it had either a removable back panel like the pulse or at least a little ribbon thing to help with taking out the battery.. as it is. you have to take out the bottle first..

came with 2 colored buttons, extra tubing, few other extras, felt pouch, a small personalized thank you Will written on the invoice - which is a nice touch.. coa says #003, though I cant find that number on the mod itself which I believe it's supposed to be, perhaps under the contacts or something idk..

oh. and the bottle, it's the same type that was in the dripbox 160 if you're familiar? not quite as squishy as the pulse bottles, which I like. this mod has a cutout on each side so you can squeeze with 2 fingers if needed..

what'd you end up going with? I'm always looking for something else lol

To get the battery out you could try the palm slap. I honestly can't remember what I went with. I buy so frequently it's hard to remember.

Yessir. It’s a little messy with the bottom airflow but me and this rda have a special attachment. It’s the RDA I was using when I finally quit cancer sticks in January. :)
