Well I complained to CrazyWire about a bad spool of .4 I got from them. They sent me a 2 replacement spools. Open them up and ......

View attachment 124797

The other one is ok at least. I'd say something is wrong with their spooling machine that doesn't like .4 ribbon. Cause it's the only one that is always f'd up.

On the plus side they sent me some freebies as an apology. Just dug them out to look at them.
30g Ni90 - Been wanting to try some of this alloy so cool!
35g SS304 - An interesting gauge to play with. I'm going to use it on my next groovefused project :D
26g NiTi - After a quick google ... not exactly an alloy I should be vaping as far as I can tell. But I'm interested to see if/how it colors. So kind of cool?

Yah ... 50m spool of .3 KA1 ribbon is 7.99 euro at stealth. I get 200m at crazywire for the same exact price. I'll take a couple of headaches here and there for 1/4 the price. In the end it's just a pain in the ass and, to me, it's worth the money saved. If I'm going to spend much more than I'm spending now I'm just going to get KP or Coil Society. And I know I shouldn't be bitching because I already know the reality and I'm choosing it.

Thanks man. Hopefully larger core coils go as well. Although I'm just fine being able to make aliens now.

Made a trade for some coils for a TM Squared about a week ago, its used and beaten but the cap is perfect and I just wanted to try it...hopefully I can find some new posts for it one day. I got back to basics with a 4 Core (28N80/40N90) Alien with 26g SS Staged heating...works pretty well.

It is a cool looking RDA. But I've always thought it would suffer on flavor with the huge chamber. I bet it's a cloud monster though.

Only if your using pansy ass beta coils, this calls for some big alpha male monsters that'll eat your cotton and juice before you can even inhale ;)

IDK, I still havent used it to vape yet but Im more than certain that something with that much surface area and heat will do fine....I have wondered that myself about the chamber area though...Ill let you know how it is with these and some normal 4/5 cores. Its the height of the cap that makes it an issue, the deck fills that entire part of the cavity with cotton and coils, the top however needs more heat to keep the vapor warm while it travels....a slam cap would be neat for this thing...

Like a Goon 1.5 with more juice well and smoother air :xD::xD::xD:

Rainbow one I got from 3fvape is like $5 right now, $8 normally (they looked the best)

View attachment 124614

One of them came with the older style posts *shrug*
View attachment 124615

I think I got a problem??? I have 5 goons all built like this

Edit: 4 Goons and 1 KTX with a Goon 1.5 cap on it
Hardly a problem as far as I can see. Looks like a cloudy situation.

I love that mod, awesome vape mail

You know a vaper is "builder first, vaper second" when they post vape mail in the Build section :teehee: We are your people!
:vino:
And yes it seems to be a great little mod. SUPER lightweight, but doesn't feel like cheap crap. Don't have a good coil built for it atm. But seems to get reasonable power to the atty.

Mine's been through my "prone to breaking hardware" vape style for a year now, and even the paint is in great shape. And that battery door - it's not gonna give, ever

Nice chunka aluminum and brass for sure

Anyone ever vape staggertons? Watched a video and it seems just like a staggered fused Clapton. Just ribbon instead. But is it worth the build time vs basically completing a tough build?

Sent from my LM-Q610(FGN) using Tapatalk
Personally, a staggerton is just an inverse SSFC. I'm not a fan of them. They are a hot vape with long ramp time. Though they are great tools for learning/practicing staggers. Since your staggering on ribbon you don't get the freedom of sliding staggers that move into place for you.

I love 'em. But they're a PITA to make (at least for me they are).

That depends... Using 0.3 or 0.2 ribbon works well for me with very little ramp up time. Not too hot, either. If I was adept at making them, I'd probably use those and aliens almost exclusively.

I'll amend my statement - I've only ever made them with large stacks (6ply+) of .3 and bigger. So I can't say if I would enjoy them in a different way.

I kinda like them - with 36g wrap yeah they'll be basically framed staples wrapped in 36g (long heatup/cooldown), with 40g they're like... framed staples wrapped in 40 with extra spitting
emoji23.png


They're fun to vape because of that "I made this cool coil" mental thing; they do technically hold a tiny bit more juice around the edges of each coil wrap, that might be a real edge over normal framed staples...but a tiny edge

They're super fun to make, I like making them more than ssfc

That’s sick Meg! Great work!

Thanks man! I got a lot more work to do to get rid of the softness

I'll tell you what ... I am impressed with this DPRO atty as well.
First off it is super thin so it get's hot quick. But that also means it cools down quick. So that's a wash
The airflow is a little loud ... but the PERFECT restriction for me wide open as a flavor atty. Plus I can close it down even more if I want something tighter.
It's a flat postless deck with no juice wells. But the lip come up pretty high so fluff your cotton around the deck and let it soak up the juice. Its more dripping than normal but not as bad as it seems at first. Added bonus - more cotton in the chamber means more chamber reduction for more flavor.
The build deck is MISERABLE to build on. The drawback to the high lip is the coils sit down inside. So you can't get a jig in the coils during installation. So your coils have to be perfectly wrapped and installed cause there aint much fiddling with them once they are in. You can install your coils higher but the airflow is angled down so you'll loose direct flow.

Edit - fix the drip problem by putting on a squonker. I do believe I've found a permanent topper for my Pulse80w :D

Here's a crap set of 30/40 fail-liens from the spare jar installed terribly cause i wasn't prepared to not be able to futz with them after screwing down. 3 mm id, .25 ohm dual. I would be happier if they were a little lower cause it's a little to cool of a vape on unreg. But the flavor is right on.

Yeah, can't say how many coils I ended up cutting the legs too short to reach the holes, after seeing them be way too long the first try

Might be great on a squonk, yeah... The grub screws on mine wore out eventually, and it started leaking through the holes :/ I'm hard on atomizers, though

Looks bad ass.

Thank you, kind sir. :D

Took another try at stitched hedgehogs. Getting closer I think. 2x28g, 12x.3r, 36g fuse 32g decore 40g stitch. Maybe a larger decore next time so I can stretch it farther before the stitch stops it. Or just do 46g stitch. Still looks cool I think heheh

Wrapped the rest of the stick in 46g

It seemed a fitting sacrifice to the build gods, hopefully they are pleased and grant me hedgehogs
