OK so I need some input. I'm going to enter the 270 wirez buildoff in hopes to get some free wire!! Right now I have 2 builds to choose from, probably going to try to get 1 more. But at the moment it's between the clapton bianary and the one I'm posting now. I can't decide because the Binary is a little cleaner, but the Helix is a little more creative. Vote on your favorite for me please!!!! :D

Corrugated Helix (Was going for a mesh look. Worked out alright I think)
Corrugated .3, 32g Ni80 Twist, 40g Ni80 Fuse (I think it was 6 passes?), 3mm ID, .2 ohm dual coil, in the KTX

off set, interlocking, and overstretched. The off-set was intentional but the over stretching wasn't. But it gave this cool little design, like a barber shop pole. Do we think it's worth pursuing this line of thought?? 4 ply .3 and 42g. I've got about 3.5 inches of this I'm considering throwing into a build.

Just sharing to hopefully clear something up. That would be 13ply Ribbon and 2 Frames, "Cores" are normally identified as solid wires grouped together or as one solid center wire. The "core" on Framed Staples is the entire wire underneath the wrap wire. "Cores" are mainly called out when its multiple round wires together like with Aliens or SFC's.

Both of these builds below would count as 4 "Core" Builds, one has a 3ply "Stack" of Ribbon.

Ok 1 more to add to the pool of possible buildoff entries. Need some Yay's or Nay's ...
Interlocking Fralian
2x 32g Ni80/42g Interlocking Ni80, 4 ply .3 KA1, 28g Ni80, 40g Interlocking Ni80, 4mm ID, .18 ohm in the vandy Pulse 24.
And so far the best vape of the 3! So it wins on functionality.

Dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled my Wasp to attempt fixing the shorting/high resistance readings:

PSX_20181023_133938.jpg

Replaced the squonk pin...still hisses and reads way too high. :rolleyes: Works okay on unregulated, though

PSX_20181023_143129.jpg


Also fixed up the Bravo for unregulated:

Also planning a sacrifice of the Tesla Captain 24...maybe bury it somewhere?

Is that for parallel unreg? Them things look like they could be low!

I use kanthal only - they're 0.13 ohms and still heat up slow x( :) but yep, dual battery unregulated

Edit: I could also use SS430, don't like my 28g though, it's incredibly hard and dull looking...and 31g is kinda weird with 0.3 ribbon, may do that anyway

Build experts...do you think 4x26 n80, 2.5mm diameter, 4 wraps, 0.12 ohms would be a good unregulated vape?
i have never tried 4x26, could be a bit beefy to ramp up. 2.5mm should help that though (less wet wick insulating the coil). my guess is that it would be a pretty nice/mellow vape with a propensity to get hot after a few puffs.

I'm trying to get a fast-ramping, hot single coil... :sad: and not get overly complex, since the guy is just wanting 3 core aliens...hnnnng I might go crazy and do 6x29 n80 or something

I just lost my mind and ordered a lot of 28g/38g N90 from England and 28g and 29g SS430 from Germany

Had a thought ... been a looooong time since I did some straight wire. Was curious what going back to it was like. Not a bad vape ... but definitely lacking the flavor I've gotten used to.
22g Ni80, 3mm ID, .08 ohm Dual Coil. That's a bit lower than I had intended. I slammed them in there pretty far. Apparently I didn't lean enough on the leads lmao.

Where you ordered from england?

Edit: I highly reccomend stealthvape wires like really highly. For the price you get amazing quality of wire and their spooling technique is absolutly flawless.

Almost anyone can make shit like this. The act of making exotic coils is just a practiced skill. Gain an understanding of the concept through research and/or trial and error. Then it's just repeating the same action enough times until you become "proficient" at it. Aesthetic coil building is just taking multiple concepts and seeing if you can make them work together.

Plus what @The_hat_trix said. It took me 3 or 4 tries to get that mini interlock in the middle.

That's how I feel when I scroll through this thread. The answer is simple though. You can. I can. It's all a process.i always look at a coil and try to decipher where it started. When it comes to interlocking and shit I'm lost though.

Learn the technique from someone, ask them how they do it...then trial and error, and

Trial and error
Trial and error
Trial and error
Trial and error
Trial and error
Trial and error

Then between 2 and 20 tries later, eureka!

Interlocks are just decored parallel claptons. Then you just alien wrap like normal.

There's a Ted talk online about "the super Mario effect". Was to do with positive/negative reinforcement.
The short of it is to do with point scoring. If you always care about what the outcome is, as opposed to what you've learnt during the process, you set yourself up to fail. Very interesting watch of you're into Ted talks

No it doesen't it's just result when you put everything out and try you best and finally, after 50-100 errors you make it the feeling from it is better than anything.. but of course compilcated builds ain't for anybody but anybody can do them if you put enough effort to it
Still sucks.....

Nice ethic in that...I like it

Hard to translate into practice sometimes, mind you that’s what the encouragement of other builders in the thread brings to the table “positive re-inforcement”

You can doo eet

There are apps out there as well that gamify your life as well. Set some specific goals you want to achieve and complete challenges to work towards them. Might not work for all but could be useful to someone whose mind works better that way. Food for thought anyway. And yeah man, wee caaann dooo iiiiitt :D

To be honest, these fancy looking coils aren’t better vapes usually. Aliens, staples,and fraliens are the best vape and aren’t too hard to learn. If you want to learn aliens, just get some 28g and 36g and try a couple times a day until you get it. Of course many of us also build and sell coils to order.
