Not that I'm at you guys stature but .4 works really well for me.. .3 always spins in my frames when I coil it.

For .1×.3 ribbon stacks, 29g frames are compulsory IME because else, yes it does spin in my frames excepting if my ribbon stack is using 6ply or higher, in which case 28g also appears to work just fine for that.
I usually use 28 frames if framing. 26 always brings my ohms too low

Just wanna thank @CrazyChef v2.0 for offering me a great solution for a setup I needed to buy for a friend. Anytime I need anything for someone who is getting into vaping I'm going to PureCoils.com for the solution and I think you should too. Thank you Chef and thank you PureCoils.com!!

So I just did another fralien 9×.4. 2×28g 36 wrap and I think my cores are facing the wrong direction. It was really weird when I coiled it . The other one I got out of the stick pulled loose and screwed up. Not sure what happened . Looked good before I coiled it

Looks good to me man. The key to keeping ribbon wire vertical is good prep in my opinion. I was a tape guy until I figured out that hot glue was a lot better of an option. It prevented the cores from moving in any way what so ever. All in all I'd say you did a good job and the real test is the vape. If it vapes well then you did a great job. Keep on working on it brother. Your doing great!

Tried something different today. I’ve never tried a serial build but I guess it’d be something like this?
Alien 4x30g/38g, SS316l, 4mm id, 7.5 wraps, 0.46 ohms
I’m vaping it at about 6.2 volts so not quite a true serial huh? Learning how to make the most of this HUGE deck!

6.2 volts isnt much lower than what some series mods would put out :>
If you guys want to coil your alien wire without the wrap sliding (happens with larger decore aliens)
Use toothless or flat jaw pliers and bend one end 180 degrees so it lays back on top of itself and crush it down with the pliers. Then grab that fold with the hand you coil with. Its easier then it sounds...Ill produce pictures soon.

It works I do that sometimes
well i have been absent for a while. busy with life and no real need to build anything (lots of setups with barely used builds to rotate thru)...and i havnt been buying any vape stuff for a while either...but today i got a wasp nano...
its not a fresh build, just a spare from a half-dub build i did ages ago (this was the ugly duckling out of the three coils i made) and its the perfect fit. not performing very well though. one too many wraps i think. ill fix it later, for now its working enough to get me through another busy day.
lots of great work in the last few pages. i just got caught up and i see some more new people (welcome) and lots of progress (congrats) and helping going on (thanks)

I'm really enjoying vaping this coil. I was surprised at the full flavor I'm getting and not hot either

Tried alien stagg couple times. Failed. Tried a ssfc. Failed. 
In both cases my frames collapse when I try to fuse.. I’m hating my little clothes pins right now. How do you all keep your staggered frames parallel?
Edit - just saw people talking about this in the stagger forum. Looking forward to your video @Pegleg Meg!

I think I can do it Thursday - tomorrow is recycling volunteer day (lol) but then I Have to make some ssfc, anyway, so bam yeah I'll record it
I also tried "staggering" the frames to begin with by just claptoning exactly half of the frame and stretching it, and It Worked haha, I was so tickled
Great work @mach1ne ! I think that build is so cool. I gotta learn how to do it cause I wanna know how it vapes! F**cking awesome to see you back!!!!well i have been absent for a while. busy with life and no real need to build anything (lots of setups with barely used builds to rotate thru)...and i havnt been buying any vape stuff for a while either...but today i got a wasp nano...

You could probably fit them. If it doesn't ohm too low. Used kanthal for the core for that reason. But the post holes could fit them I'd say.Cool RDA man, bet that's a great vape! I'm imagining three fraliens in that baby

I was a professional Heavyweight Muy Thai Kickboxer in Japan, and Korea from my early to mid 20s. I found a lot of success but that was hard on my body. I can't imagine making that type of training sacrifice for 20 years. I have all the respect in the world for you.
Here's one I just whipped up a minute ago. Fralien. 26 frames, 9x.5 cores, 40 wrap.

Man, 40g is so pretty, that one is perfect! I got out of practice with 40, tried one today, didn't happen lol
I agree with @Pegleg Meg that 40g is beautiful. I imagine it will vape just as awesome as it looks!Here's one I just whipped up a minute ago. Fralien. 26 frames, 9x.5 cores, 40 wrap.

Well you still have your sense of humor in tact, that's pretty important. Plus you're a good builder and you can make some of the sickest mohawks I've ever seen! You're good brother.
