I'm on my way! Posted this in my having trouble with staggered thread:
Staggered builds are a whole new avenue I've been trying. I fly through aliens as fast as my drill can go it seems like sometimes. I had to slow everything way down to start having success with just regular staggered claptons. I was really having trouble with smaller gauges but Im doing better now. I made 2x28/40+40 SFC's today.
If you don't make these let me know, I can mail you some. The flavor is outstanding. I tried a 3x28/38 alien coil in my Druga RTA and it seemed good. I switched it out for a 2x28+38 staggered fused clapton and it's amazing now. For whatever reason the SFC was a better "fit" for that particular tank. I got one in one of my E.Dragons now too. The flavor is just intense.
I'll probably never be able to make the kind in the photo you posted though.
Edit- I just noticed I posted a month ago about started staggered builds. I've made significant strides since then.
.Looking great! have also been working on SFC coils a lot lately. I think the flavor is amazing and they are a beautiful looking coil. I have found a bunch of people around the country who really like them as well. I am building dual core 26 or 28g with 36 or 38 wrap. Someone told me they preferred 24g cores, so I made a few of those.
I use the clamp method and find that it works reliably with 36g, but I have more issues with 38g.
I only want it to taste amazing. Is that too much to ask?

I finally got the hang of/feel for multicore. 2 solid builds, about 8 sets in all, and my friends all want a set. 3x26/38 and 3×26/36g.
I am going to attempt SSFC next.

NONE! of my cuts are like this! It's like a hydraulic sheet metal sheer clean, my goodness
I made another SSFC today along with some other stuff. I used N80 2x28+(4x.4)/38
They came out to .12Ω. I'm getting ridiculous flavor out of this Forz RDA.

I got one of these things:
Then I made two (actually 4) of these things:
It's all N80: 28ga frames, .3 ribbon, 38ga fuse.
I made another stick before this which was bigger. 26ga frames, .4 ribbon, & 36/38ga.
I noticed how wavy the corrugated part was and wanted to get rid of some of that. The single pieces on the outside of the corrugated part looked funny to me as well so the next one I did 2, 2, 2.

Seriously though, super rad watching your progression, much more involved than I am.
I always wanted to venture out and do more elaborate builds, old age ailments (far sightedness and RA) I accepted my limits and happy with Aliens and Fraliens

All ya gotta do now is mix up the metals and put some heat to em for that groovadelic Crayola look
You know. Like make the corrugated ribbon kanthal, the staple ribbon and the frames stainless, and the fuse wire nichrome. Or some combination. Then heat em up slowly for the coloring.

I'm not sure if I'll get that intricate. I've seen some of those kinds and they look pretty cool. I watched a coil wars video last night and some of that stuff was unbelievable. I skipped over a whole progression called Helix. It looks pretty easy though so I might try it. Some of the micro stuff looks really cool too.AWESOME!!!

Thanks. I really took a liking to spinning wires. I never planned on getting too fancy but staggering/staggered frames has opened up a lot more builds. It's been pretty fun for me.
Well, you're already that intricate. I'm just talking about mixing up the materials. Not that there's any necessity or anything, but just a suggestion
Well there is a lot of people who love these types of coils for their personal use, and you really could make some decent money. Builders who charge $15+ a set of coils aren't making anything much more difficult than you already have.
Some coils I know and saw, they are charging $60 a pop... for coils! I get the time involvement, truly do... and lets take Josh's coils for example...
To me this is more Art than actual vape tailored coils... but something like this would take time to make and I can see the cost.
Food for thought if you wanted to take it step further and add some supplement income.
Be an easy endeavor... can set up a store front here, and if you're not sure on what coils you make ohm out to, make everything, fire them up, write it down, post pics, and viola... can probably even link the store front here on IG/Reddit/FB etc... I'd probably name them Wire Art for Photographic representational reasons
Be rad!
Yeah that's something to think about.

That camera shot looks awesome. I'm pretty hobo at all this. I've been holding the end of a BB gun scope up to my phone to get close up photos. Today I finally got a proper macro clip for my phone. I took a few shots of one of the corrugated coils I wrapped up. I have to hold my phone pretty close to the coil. It blocks light so I'll have to try some different things. Here's a few shot I took using the clip on thingies:
I noticed a piece of crud on one of the end wraps. Not sure if it's from my nylon pliers. Hopefully I can get better at photos. Maybe I should look for a decent digital camera instead of the clips.

I really think you’re skilled, enough so that I really think you SHOULD invest in yourself much more and make a small business of these skills.
For photos, you can’t go wrong with a decent camera, but even cell phones have them; clearly not as well as DSLRs, but with photo specific lighting and light box and focus stacking you can create some radical picture sets.
Even just a homemade light box, simple phone tripod is a good start.
I do hope to see you make a name for yourself in the coils for sale scene, I’ll cheer you on!

I heard Nick Devine (who's gonna question that boy's skills?) say that his go to coils for actual vaping are like fused claptons and aliens
He said the rest is all about the challenge and the art form.
I agree with that...I heard Nick Devine (who's gonna question that boy's skills?) say that his go to coils for actual vaping are like fused claptons and aliens

Time to benefit ratio on coils is a real thing... Whip up simple .10 Fused that is nearly identical in surface area, mass as my aliens... I can't tell the difference between the two... besides one only taking me 3 minutes to spin up 3 feet, and the other taking me 15ish minutes to make half as much.
BUT! I love seeing the creative side of coil masters... and I can fully understand the challenge aspect.
I don't. In direct comparison to aliens, fused claptons are lacking in flavor production. The difference is easily 20%-25%. Easily. But I can make the difference go away. Also easily.

I have to respectfully disagree.
One is a fused Clapton and one is an alien Clapton...
Between the two, I really can’t tell a difference, for they are very similar.
I will defer though to that this is a specific example and generally Aliens are better

I definitely appreciate complex coils and the folks who can build them. I look at somebody like Raymo (where's he been?) and you have to give somebody like that credit for even being able to imagine some of that stuff to say nothing of actually doing it.
I had aspirations of maybe going n that direction for about a half hour until I tried it. There is just NO WAY I will ever have the time or patience to pull that stuff off.

Those are a bunch of numbers on a screen. Aliens only really start to shine the moment after you realize that what you're doing right now is you are trying to study a river by taking out a bucket of water staring at it on the shore. Vaping at higher power than most, you also need to factor in things like juice flow rate. This is where fused claptons are lacking. You'd think the cotton is all that matters, that keeping it well saturated at all times is what gets you there. But you are forgetting about the rate at which the boiling juice flows through the numerous tiny cavities and crevasses that are interlinked, just like you are forgetting the fact that fast evaporation causes increased pressure that also explains the loud crackling sound that can be had with aliens at least if certain criteria are met. The more important thing to note about that is, there exist different types of spitback. One type tends to just burn your tongue like a volcano, but this doesn't also mean that all types of spitback are necessarily always a bad thing.I have to respectfully disagree.

When a tiny droplet of boiling juice shoots out into the surrounding airflow, it continues to evaporate while it remains airborne for a short period that can be just long enough for it to be cooled down to such an extent that the vape experience does not tend to be abrasive. At this specific point is where it adds texture and some level of wetness, and warmth, but the flavor production also receives a very noticeable boost that I know not everyone likes, which is why I chose the word 'difference', not 'improvement', albeit the fact that this is what keeps some people─myself included─vaping, is still called an improvement anyway. Instead of a slow running creek, when I look at aliens, what I am factually looking at is something more akin to Niagara Falls. And the sound they make is fairly similar, too...
I find that violent, volcanic spitback correlates with using thicker wire strands, at least to some degree. There are tipping points. If the wire is too thin, the pleasant, lively, full-bodied, meaty/rich texture gets drowned in over-smoothness. But with fused claptons I am unable to reproduce these kinds of characteristics, as the second half of the inhale is burning the juice from not getting enough juice to get sucked into the coils in spite of the fact the cotton is perfectly soaked and the wicking job is done right also. Only if I turn the wattage down, this problem disappears. But if I do that, then the flavor is held back, and the texture also feels like not enough butter smeared on too much bread or like a pop soda gone flat with ice cubes melted.
Maybe you aren't aware of this fact, but there actually are thousands upon thousands of high wattage vapers out there who share this same observation, that the total surface area of the coil, the total amount of metal that the coil is made of, the level of power and airflow, the wicking job, the type of juice used and the saturation level of the cotton are not the only variables when it comes to how fast it can keep wicking the juice while the juice boils. Coil construction is an important factor in spite of the fact that the importance can be reduced by forcing it in that direction, purposely or not purposely, by playing with the variables. Just because reducing it is possible, doesn't mean you have to.
About seven years ago, this is what some people were slowly but surely starting to discover, and the number of vapers who have acknowledged it keeps going up, even today. What's more, those who never liked the fact that this number has been rising so fast are usually the ones who tend to be the most vocal about how they never liked it. They come to places like this to gather up and pretend that those who can taste differences must be deluded. Not trying to point any fingers here, but you don't have to dig very deep to see the real truth about why most of those who can taste differences have moved away from places like this as far as they possibly were able to... respectfully.

That’s a lot of words to defend your position, of which I agreed with before your marathon response.
I admit too, I didn’t read it all, much, ok not more than a few sentences; I’ve learned even from a young age how structure of a stance is, the point is first sentence and last, rest is fluff.
It’s like watching a Disney movie, the template being, All is good, the drama, the trials, the victor, happily ever after. Where some of Disney’s movies are great and some are less so.
Reminds me of a time long ago, I must of been 11 or 12… I was walking along the creek bed that ran from the Geneseo River… looking at the tadpoles and small fish, thinking to myself of how life (I know right, a pre-teen thinking about life) was good, not a care in the world really, just a kid, his stick and the creek.
Anyway, as anyone knows about creeks and sludge, there are points of where you walk that you might step in some erosion of the creek bed and end up taking a small bath.
Well, bath was not going to be this day I remember saying, and proceeded to eye the makeshift bridge; simple fallen tree a bunch of us neighboring kids moved into place one summer past.
Anyway…
As interesting as it may of been to read the wall of text I half made up (there was some truths) it’s was unneeded, since the first sentence was more than enough, and sometimes the last.

This is my first attempt to work with mixed alloy if you don't count Ka. Cores are 28g N80 staggered (36g N80) frames, center bare wire is N90. Final fuse is 36g SS316. Can't wait to mount these and give them some color.
I only want it to taste amazing. Is that too much to ask?

Don't know if I posted this one yet. It's my personal best of 7 cores. I'm confident that I can do more cleanly but this one is already a big enough coil:
It's a N80 SFC 7x30/40ga. I think it might be in the last page..
Some monster SFC's I made with square wire while bored one day. Thought they might look cool:
Never tried Staggertons so I made some of those one day.
Made some 10-ply fraliens a while back. N80 2x28+(10x.3)/38ga:
My personal best for using thin wire for staggering is 42ga. I'm not in a hurry to try 44 lol. 42ga is already hard enough to stagger. I also did them as a challenge but ending up falling in love with the coils for using on mech mods. They fire up really quick and give me huge flavor. Again, not sure if I already posted about these. They're 3x27/42 N80 SFCs.
Here's the ones I'm rocking in my Coilturds RDA:
Put the same build in my Rath:
Tried to get a couple tunnel shots but need a better lens.
@gsmit1 , I haven't sent you any coils in a while. You gotta try some of these and let me know what you think. You up for it? I just sent some to @Ms. Trixy. They're easy to screw up a stagger here or a space there. I'm still getting my routine down for making them and had trouble a few days. I'm getting back to being able to do them with good results now though. It's pretty intricate work but so worth it IMO.

My one year spinning anniversary was a week or two ago. I didn't expect to be this into it when I started. Aliens and fraliens were all I cared about. You can only do those so many times and it gets repetitive/boring. I started staggering in mid January so about 5 months of doing that kind. I'm not sure when or if I'll get tired of making SFC coils.That's insane! I can't believe how good you got this quickly.

I'm still learning a bunch on how coils actually vape. I've sent probably over 100 of these to people and I haven't even tried them yet on a mech:
They're N80 SFC coils: 5x30/38ga. Coil Clout sells sets of these for damn near $30. They're limited and seem to always sell out. I learned how to do them because a guy on Reddit asked. Instead of 4 for $50, I sent him a dozen plus other kinds. I'm done with that for now (taking orders).
I don't need the headaches of "Oh can you try this for me?" Or "I need series coils but they need to be this resistance and this ID. I need cheap prices though because... Coilology gives me 10 for $8." Get outta here with that. I'm not Chinese labor and don't appreciate being compared to that stuff. Strangers can kick rocks until I can come up with some set prices and a set menu of what's available. For now I just want to keep trying to get better and send them to friends on here. It'd be nice to get some feedback on certain coils.

N80 SFC in Elder Dragon 4x27/42ga:
Resistance is about .15 ohm.
Here's one of my series builds. It's 3x29/40ga I think? .38 ohm
Heres a set that registers right around .1 ohm. They're 5x29/40ga I believe.
I made this one the other day. I didn't know if I could pull it off but I did. It's 6x31/42ga. 42 is about the thinnest I can go. 44 just doesn't play nice.
I ended up making more in the last couple days. A set reads .11 and they are awesome on my Sui-Side mech. I threw a set in a Goon tonight. I'll post a few photos.
The flavor is really good. I've been testing out a cotton called Mavaton x I got at coil clout. Yummy flavor.
N80 SFC in Elder Dragon 4x27/42ga:
Resistance is about .15 ohm.
Here's one of my series builds. It's 3x29/40ga I think? .38 ohm

Are you using a hand drill at all? Those look fabulousNobody posts builds anymore? I got a new phone and haven't moved my SD card so I only have a few recent photos.

A tragically underrated build imho. They can be a pain to coil on the rod though

I finally got a decent pair of 4×28/36 done. Gave them to a friend who likes a warmer vape.My one year spinning anniversary was a week or two ago. I didn't expect to be this into it when I started. Aliens and fraliens were all I cared about. You can only do those so many times and it gets repetitive/boring. I started staggering in mid January so about 5 months of doing that kind. I'm not sure when or if I'll get tired of making SFC coils.
I'm still learning a bunch on how coils actually vape. I've sent probably over 100 of these to people and I haven't even tried them yet on a mech:
They're N80 SFC coils: 5x30/38ga. Coil Clout sells sets of these for damn near $30. They're limited and seem to always sell out. I learned how to do them because a guy on Reddit asked. Instead of 4 for $50, I sent him a dozen plus other kinds. I'm done with that for now (taking orders).
I don't need the headaches of "Oh can you try this for me?" Or "I need series coils but they need to be this resistance and this ID. I need cheap prices though because... Coilology gives me 10 for $8." Get outta here with that. I'm not Chinese labor and don't appreciate being compared to that stuff. Strangers can kick rocks until I can come up with some set prices and a set menu of what's available. For now I just want to keep trying to get better and send them to friends on here. It'd be nice to get some feedback on certain coils.
I only want it to taste amazing. Is that too much to ask?

I kept trying and failing on some 3×32/40 aliens so I tried 6×34/40 to achieve the same resistance.

No, I don't have one of those. I start slow only going about 3-4 revolutions. I work my way up to around 10-12 at a time, smashing it flat as I go. The drill makes a noise as it spins and I try to count the turd as best I can.. With less cores or thicker wire, I can go 20 to 40 revolutions before stopping to check (make sure it looks alright and smash flat). With wire like in the photo, it'll get messed up if I get greedy going extra turns.Are you using a hand drill at all? Those look fabulous
I'm still using my same eighteen dollar Walmart drill I started out on. I've got much nicer Dewalt, Craftsman, and Rigid drills. I didn't like any of them as much as my Hyper Tough (?) lol. I got a same model back-up months and months ago. I haven't needed to use it yet.
Do you have a Nylon pliers? I find them to be essential on coils like that. Hope you don't mind, but I know what's going on when my wire looks uneven like in the photo. It happens when I grip the fusing wire spool too much. It needs some tension or it won't look right. It's hard to explain but the fusing wire will stick out too far on the edges. It only needs light tension though. Too much makes the cores fall on each other or not stay flat. Sometimes you can get it out by rolling over the wire with a scale weight or strait edge mech tube.I finally got a decent pair of 4×28/36 done. Gave them to a friend who likes a warmer vape.

Multi core SFC takes a lighter touch overall. With thinner wires, I have to really be gentle. We already know spacing is key. Not disturbing those spaces during prep work goes a long ways.
Your 6 core aliens look so awesome.

Yeah, I have nylons but need a new pair because the jaws are beat up too much. I am getting a new pair with replaceable jaws next week. I will also try 38g next time as these tend to hold too much heat between puffs. But yeah, as with anything more than 3 cores, like the 6×34/40 aliens, lighter touch is absolutely necessary. I kept having the feeling I was about to drop the fuse when doing those hex-aliens. Thanks for the tips.

I don't know if went better because it wasn't my first time, or that I was using 38g fuse, or some other reason but I am pretty satisfied with my latest quad SFCs. 4×28/38+38. All N80 except for the final fuse using SS. Got more than enough for these 3.5mm ID, 5-wrap coils.

I can't seem to get a good stagger with 40g or higher. Got any tips? I would love to be able to make a 3x32/40 sfc. I think that would be a good Boro buildNobody posts builds anymore? I got a new phone and haven't moved my SD card so I only have a few recent photos.
