I wish it was cheaper to get and wish it came in bulk spools... 5000ft spools of each wire sounds like a nice tax time purchase

Ebay has some Kanthal D 40 awg 1000 ft only $13
Yea but they dont have much above 32g-35g, its 38g+ I want those 1lbs spools
I am going to pick up a 52g 100ft to try out. My thought it if I cant shrink the size of some of these big builds I could take advantage of the same experience with RTA's/RDA's/Tanks that you cant use them in normally. Say the Goblin Mini, I could barely fit that single stretched clapton wire into the chamber without touching due to its size. What if I made a Staggerd Fused Clapton in 38g/52g? It would be a PITA at first but after using it for a bit it might open up new doors and opportunities like the example...

You can wrap that 38/52 over something like 32 or 28 and make something special.Yea but they dont have much above 32g-35g, its 38g+ I want those 1lbs spools

You mean like a Micro Nano Coil or along those lines?
I found some 52 awg that I am tempted to buy just to I can see what it is like to both build with and vape with. I wonder if that is getting too small to have the same affect on a clapton. So small that it is almost sealing the inner core. Then again I am only learning and have never worked with it... could be the holy grail or it could be like opening and looking into the ark of the covenant!
So far my experience is the smaller the gauge the wire thats on the outside of a clapton, the smoother the glow pattern is. I havent tried anything above 46g but I would expect somewhere along the same line...You can see with thinner outer wire in these pics the glow is much softer and smoother from inside out.I found some 52 awg that I am tempted to buy just to I can see what it is like to both build with and vape with.

Im going to find something better then fishing swivels...All the swivels I have bought have locked up and now bind when using them(They are ball bearing). I was thinking of rigging something up from my R/C Hobby..Maybe a Bulkhead, CVD shaft and the bearing I use for them, the bearing for RC are rated for 50k rpm and can take abuse without binding..Ill report back if I get something to work out.
I was thinking slot car wheel bearings.

OOPS!
I thought each of the rolls in the bulk packs was 100 feet - they're only 10 feet each. Damn, I thought that was cheap...
Contacted and said I want to cancel and a store credit is fine. I hope they cancel...

K I have something that can be used plus I used a part that ill make it completely adjustable afterwards!
The rear of it...
The Front, I will fish my wire through the CVD Joint hole, as you can see there is a thin slot and a wide open hole, thin slot for flat wires and round for big round builds lol

Hehe I bought 1,000 of 36&40 250 of 26&24 and 100 of all 3 ribbon wires they carry all nichrome I think it's funny for 14$ you get 500 ft but for 5$ more you get 1000ft I have no idea what 1000ft of wire even looks like lol

Like Oiled Glass on Marble, less tension then with the original swivels I was using. I may end up using my file set to smooth the edges of the insert holes though. Its size looks massive but its moving parts are no bigger then the swivels.
That CVD shaft is made from Nitrate treated Titanium so its smooth, very light but durable

I love the 40g builds Lightning Vapes has a 250' roll for around $10?

Ok I got a ? When making alien wire how do you get three wires stable on a swivel I get the fused Clapton but how do you get the third stable I haven't watched any vids yet so I thought I'd ask

You pray it stays stable and flat
You could use 2 dimes and tape it loose and keep it close to your wire being wrapped on and slide it up the wire as you go

Take the 3 wires and bend them at a right angle (only about the top 1/2 inch or less). Then turn the wires to fit in the chuck of your drill in...
Crap, this is hard to explain...
Here's a good video:

Here's a good video:
A paperclip works well too or taping it periodically like every 4 - 5 inches if you're making a longer wire for multiple builds

This is literally one of those "If I can do it, anyone can do it" type situations. I would just ogle at pics of alien coils when I first started and wish I could do stuff like that. You're gonna get there.I get the urge to shank you everytime I see your progress
Don't forget, this was my first build (SERIOUSLY!):
And my 2nd build:
My first build ever was a Clapton 28g on 28g because it was what I bought and I wanted to dive into advanced builds immediately, I had Tanks/Pens and premade coils before that but Im a run first then learn to walk kind of guy. I found out shortly after my Hobo V2.1 arrived that RDA's looked bigger on my screen then in real life and since then Ive tried to make smaller advance builds to fit more applications.
What Ive been using in my TVF4 TF-R1 RBA since yesterday after the Fused Clapton just kept eating cotton...This is the highest resistance build I've used in almost 6 months and I'm glad I used it instead of rebuilding it. I slowly stepped up from 20w and kept going up to 65w and it still wasn't hot and had not the slightest hint of any dryness in the cotton(with chain vaping).
26g/34g Clapton 8 wrap (1.40 Ohms)
MY friends that vape thought it was insane that it competes with my other low builds for vapor production but the flavor is incredibly strong. The only part I dislike is the draw time, I prefer 3-4 second pulls and I feel the need to draw almost 6-7 seconds on this for satisfaction.

Change your mode to hard or max. That ramps up the first couple second of trigger pull up to 15%. I use that with all my fused claptons. Let's me stay in the lower watts but still not way forever for ramp up.

OK so I need a bit of help I think... I went and broke down buying a new box mod .I know what you are thinking ...lol what could he possibly needing help with?.. Lol well.. First thing is. How the hell do you clear all settings? I bought the cube x ll. Secondly I went in to my b&m buying 30 & 32 awg n80. Will they work? If so... What I am trying to do is a simple duel parallel build at .1 considering only getting a very small amount. New to temp control but buy no means new to the game... Can I get a little help please.
Thank you in advance
Thank you in advance
Not sure how to clear the settings on the cube x2 but if you download the app maybe you can do it from there. Are you looking to do temp control or suggestions for a build that low?

A 24g 5 wrap kanthal parallel with 28g/32g 4 wrap n80 clapton coiled around a 2.4mm screwdriver should run about .09 - 0.12
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Hmmmm how about twisting the 30g and then clapton wrap it with 32g? Should come out about the same.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Ok, now that I figured out the tc on cube 2 I rebuilt this coil. Comes out to .18 ohm. Running this dude at from 250 to 400 so far. 400 still gives super cool vape and bod flavor. Going to hit some higher temp tomorrow and see how flavor goes.
Better pic of coil with cotton in. Now to adjust the temp and juice this bad boy!
