Got it stuck in my head today that I was going to make a fancy coil. After wasting an inordinate amount of wire and my eyes are bulging out of my head I made several. Feeling pretty good about these, while not perfect they are not horrible either (except the last bunch, they are pretty bad).

4x28g NI80 wrapped in 38g KA1

Coil 02.jpg
2X24g KA1 wrapped in 40g NI80 (these were the most difficult for some reason.

Coil 03.jpg
2x26g NI80 wrapped in 40g SS316. I had pretty much given up at this point. Only one of these is usable but I wrapped them anyways.

Coil Porn. An offering.

Good job on those 4x28s. I think 3+cores are harder to Clapton than they are to alien, the always wanna bunch up!

Thanks. What I am not showing in these pictures is the 30'+ of 28g and possibly 100' of 40g NI80 that was sacrificed for the learning experience. I worked at a speed so slow I had time to take a drink and take a hit on the vape between checking tension. Started at 08:30 this morning. Finished at 15:00.

Good learning experience.

Awesome!!!

Also, I love when you do accidental Ñs lol




Thank you, if I feel the need to cry I will just imagine that cute gerbil :D




I'm pretty nice to myself nowadays, that's why I put this off for a month or so lol
I kinda like the ñ as well. Sometimes I'll see it and be like ehh fuck it. Lol staples went better than I thought. Been watching a lot of N.devine

Did something kinda cool.
Parallel Clapton braidator. 2(22g KA1/36gSS), 3-loop 32g SS fuse. 3.5 wraps 4mm id, .18 ohms

Man that is so cool looking. I would never have the patience to do something like that. Almost all of my braid attempts have been a disaster because I rush through everything. Great job!:vino:

Im at some crazy level huh? Well, I dont believe Im any different than anyone else here...I've just got more time in and thats it. You all are right there, just more time to "hone" in on tension and your there.

Rolling back the clock and playing with round wires...actually I dont think I every "built" with only round wire before when I started :D Its more of a fun build anyhow...24g Kart Build in the Reload X RDA

I've got like almost absolutely positively no time haha, which is why my last couple posts haven't been showing an incredible level of ability, but this bridge is very awesome (if that's what it is). I never really understood bridge builds in the sense that I don't understand how the bridge can be built to not be conductive and if it really is not conductive I'm not sure what the purpose of it is. Even if it was conductive I wouldn't be quite sure what the purpose was aside from maybe lowering resistance. I guess I don't know much about bridge builds, never have really tried one. I do have to say the one you posted looks really cool. Even though it may not be super complicated as many of your builds are, it's a great piece of artwork IMO.

More playing with the braids. Super hard on my back ... so I'll probably never be able to anything overly complicated/time consuming with them. But a lot of fun non-the-less.
32g Ni80, 3 loop vertebraid/fishtail hybrid, staged with 24g Ni80

That's pretty cool! You could develop a system for marking/holding the loops (colored markers or eliquid bottles or something so you can take breaks

Beautiful...what did you find that helps?
The USA Ohm Meter Drill Clamp, I slid the wire up through the side and then between the screw out the front. The Ridge in the middle of the clamp face rides the wire down and forces the ribbon on the right way....Ill I have to do is keep one finger on the clamp to keep it from spinning with the wire.
