Had much better session today!! Couple of failed preps lead me to this idea. Currently just some wire porn. Scared to wrap it
Enigma Binary: 10 ply .3 KA1, Crimped 32g Ni80, 2 ply .5 Ni80, 26g KA1, 38g KA1 Decore, 42g Ni80 Stitch.

Sweeeet!
Thankyou!! And it will forever remain sweetly as this picture. All the ribbon collapsed when I tried to wrap it. I knew it was going to because the decore was oversized so all the innerds were not compacted at all. That's why I decided to stitch it. But I had to fuse so lightly that the stitch didn't really do much
Tried something new. 5x28g double barrel alien in the ghoul hehe
And some 5x28g aliens for a friend, he’s trading me a mason dump tank 40 for coils
just needs glass!

I find that oversizing the decores makes fusing easier for 4 to 1 or higher. But if your planning to have an unspaced fuse then it wont be a tight one. You can get around this by having some spacing ... but it changes the look of the build.
The 2 day break did some wonders. I saw this build from many builders and wanted to do it so bad and finally did it

Is that the peekaboo mohawk thing?? Or is that some sort of hedgehog inlay? Either way ... KILLER!!!The 2 day break did some wonders. I saw this build from many builders and wanted to do it so bad and finally did it

Woah what a build! Amazing work hatrix
I've done this before, without the stitching, and its pretty damn hard. Yours looks absolutely perfect. I bet it would wrap just fine. When I did mine I found that not putting too much tension on the decore while binding allowed for the ribbon to stack to such a way that it was pretty easy to wrap. And to be honest with you, I'm not inherently good at wraping. I just kinda do the best I can. Anywho really impressive build!Had much better session today!!

A quick but steady run of the mini torch (paying attention to overheat neither your build nor the mini torch itself) will greatly help to reduce the springiness before you coil it up, and, if you also pull on it just lightly during the torching process, any slack that exists in your build will be removed also in addition to removing the springiness that's responsible for the coiling up part fumbling itself as you let go of the tension, a tip I learned from Roger (@alotawire on instagram) who explained it in a build video tutorial by Squidoode (The Art of Vaping) on the subject of braided coil builds and on how to properly coil them up:I've done this before, without the stitching, and its pretty damn hard. Yours looks absolutely perfect. I bet it would wrap just fine. When I did mine I found that not putting too much tension on the decore while binding allowed for the ribbon to stack to such a way that it was pretty easy to wrap.

The mini torch I got is from a brand called Prof. (Cool, huh?
)
Another tip that can also help to keep the ribbon wire standing up vertical as you coil up your build is to, also before you coil it up, lay it on a flat smooth surface and apply just the right amount of pressure, such that you don't actually squash the wrap wire, by using a rolling pin to remove whatever slack might still remain after the torching part. As an added bonus, during the dry firing part working out the hot spots will typically require less effort so then you don't need to keep strumming so hard with the tip of your ceramic tweezers.

Cool idea with the binding technique matey ...not seen that before, looks great might try something like that myself when I next do some helix’s
welcome aboard

Oh, I'm curious what it looks like with a helix coil
Thanks for the tips!
I have a rolling pin I use for most builds to help set the fuse if/when my staggers aren't prefect and/or my cores don't want to sit straight. But the inside of that enigma was just flat out loooooose. The alien wire was intentionally claptoned from a gauge that was "to big". So it had almost no parallel grab on the cores pulling them together (if you look closely you can see a gap between the alien wire and the round cores). I was hoping the stitch would make up for the lack of tension holding the cores together. But I literally couldn't do any more than guide the wire while fusing. So the stitch also had minimal grab on the cores. Trying to wrap it was like trying to wrap a naked framed staple. I've thought about picking up a torch in the past but up until now I have only run into this problem 1 other time. Maybe this is the motivation
Greetings!! Welcome!!! And beautiful build
Finnish dudes asked me for MTL coils i think they will be happy with some 2 core MTL aliens. Specs: 30g*2 KA1 / 42 N80.

Me too ...I imagine with the twisted frames either side it’ll be easier to uniformly space the binds to give you an even pattern when you wrap them
Just quick try fusing with 48g ss. I was in a hurry so i didin't use vice to coil it up but just wanted to know how that 48g really feels like Next will be coiled with vice and it's 20ply with 0.4 ribbon btw. The focus limit with phone and macrolens is here. I really want to get good macro shot to see if it really that tight as it seems to be

Definitely looks tight to me!
I was looking at my 50g for some time and then i decided to go a bit safer and try 48 first

Do you feel eBay is cheaper on items compared to Amazon and other electronic/vape shop?? I've been buying a lot from Amazon an I'm starting to like it.. I have anexity alot an really don't like being around people that much so it's convenient for me.. also cheaper prices I've know. eBay does have stuff u can just outright buy correct not just bidding?? An is the stuff usally legit.. authentic?? **SORRY FOR OFF TOPIC**
(-: VapingSteveO
Well ... few days since my last successful build. Almost trashed this stick too. But I figured "Why the hell not". It aint clean ... but maaaan it's a fantastic vape. The flavor on it is outrageous!
.3 KA1, 28g Ni80, 36g Ni80, .09 ohms, 5ish mm ID (not sure cause it's wrapped on a nail
), in the vandy pulse 24.

Ebay has a way better selection of miscellaneous items of quality at good prices - Amazon is just as cluttered with cheap junk with stock photos as Ebay, maybe worse - both use 3rd party vendors, Amazon allows vendors to set their own refund policies...so buyer beware
I've also bought something on Amazon rated 5 starts with 500 Fake reviews ...terrible
Both sites require a careful eye, but I prefer Ebay more

I like the deck! So how does it vape?
oooooo Ilike that!!!!
Like the kenedy where the airflow isn't attatched to the top cap!!
Yes that really sounds good. Please keep me updated if you try the helix with this wrapping technique.
Thanks for the tips!

Yeah but my alien wire was intentionally clapton'd too big also, as I had simply refused to buy a spool of 26g knowing full well beforehand the 25.5g just wasn't going to be small enough. After I finished building my fralien strand the alien wrap on it was so loose I could actually even decore it effortlessly if I wanted to, but anyway... I learned my lesson well and so last week I finally got the 26g, it's from the Crazy Wire brand because that's all they had in stock so that's why I had refused to get a spool, as I fucking hate that brand, and I fucking hate it with a passion enough for me to might wanna decide using it for tying up tomato plants instead of for trying to build another fralien. 
Build day today. Off work for rain. Wife gonna sleep and kids at school. Woohoo. Wanting to try a half stag fused Clapton if that's what it's called or the gator tail like Chef did a while back. Gotta get my game up

It has 3 different bottom air configurations that I need to play with, as well as coil placement - definitely "good" but I think I can make it better, need some time with it
One more for a serious series build
Sent from my LM-Q610(FGN) using Tapatalk
Yeah I don't know about series. Lol I might take some of and go parallel dual.
You might tone the voltage down to 7 to get a closer to the actual wattage - that's still probably higher than the real voltage you'll get
I knew it would be lower just not sure how much. Thanks I'll try that and might not worry as much

What attie are you building this for? I ask because your lead length seems a bit long at 6mm. I usually spec mine at 2mm.
Oh ok. I'm guessing I've got that a little long. But the drugga.

Okay, then 2mm will give you a more accurate spec.
I set mine at 10mm and they're spot on - you'll have more than 2mm of leg just inside the post holes, wouldn't you? Then you gotta go all the way until the wire starts curving into a wrap
