Is that just a 3 strand braid you did on that? Looks like something H R Geiger would make...

You use a paralleled clapton for the stitched alien and stretch it like normal?

That would give you an interlock alien.
For the stitched you run a wire through the decored Clapton and then stretch.

Thanks!
The alien guides the stitch.
I know height of stack makes a difference on flavor but what about the diameter of the coil. How does that affect the flavor?

Lol thank you! Yeah it's triple braided clapton. came out somewhere around 0.12
Just built these but am having clearance issues in my v1 Zephyrus RBA chimney. It's 7 wrap, 2.5mm diameter coil, but it seems no matter how I position it it touches the sides of the chimney. Any thoughts? View attachment 35643 
can you take another pic from above?

@WARCHOP37
Would a 2mm/6wrap keep you within the resistance range you're looking for?
Also, you could try lifting them up and inwards a bit to provide a little more clearance. Not much, but maybe enough to clear the chimney.

A zipper style fused Clapton. This is 24/36 and flavor and vapor production cannot be matched. @ 75 watts this coil is a beast, yet 100 watts its a cloud chaser dream with a flavor that will punch you in the jaw.

that looks interesting. Ohms?

really nice. I'm assuming that it's a twisted core and then claptoned. How can you clapton a twisted wire? Sounds tough.
That does sound tough. I will give that build a go tomorrow morning if time permits, of course. I will use 26 or 28 as a core... 28 may be it.
Matt
Matt
28 sounds about right especially if you're running a regulated mod. Let me know what your ohms come out to be if you get the chance to make it. I'd like to see if we can run a dual!!!
If I can get time before work tomorrow, it will be duals. Hell I might just build it tonight lol. Thinking halfway as Twisted as i could get it. . .
28 because the ohms should be high enough there.
Matt
Lol.. It's so late to make a coil right now that you might end up coming up with a new invention lol. Good luck and keep me updated on how it goes
LOL! No kidding!
I legit just took 10 minutes while playing Madden to build one... 6 wraps ohms final to around .31
Let me say, I'm not impressed with how it looks. It was a really quick build. But the flavor.... WOW!!!! @85 Watts let me say this is a flavor HOG!
I'm going to build this again next build, might throw a staging wire there, but I doubt it. This thing is FANTASTIC! you gotta try it, let me know how well it comes out for you. I don't even want to share the photos but I will..
28 G KA1 core, Twisted about 3/4 of max capacity. 34G N80 outside.
Matt
That's actually pretty good for the first try. I'm actually trying this with probably a 36 gauge kanthal to wrap around (if I can even manage to hold that thing). I'm just waiting for my next vape mail to come in. I will definitely let you know.
I'm glad to see the ohms at 0.31. I'll go for a dual and see how it goes.
That was dual. Please do let us know. !!

Im seeing alot of builds that Ive seemed to inspire 
Makes me think what should I try next...
The twisted fused claptons are great for flavor and vapor but are crazy power hungry and are hard to make look good when coiled....

DAMN!! those look way too sick!
Alright, I don't mean to ruin your sweet ass builds with my pics, but this is what I'm rolling with right now. The first fused claptons that I've made. I've been rolling with them for a couple of weeks with cleaning obviously, but they still look darker than when I first built them.
They look very nice to me also, your only adding to the thread...not taking away from it bud.
I was posting pics of builds I did a few pages back that seem to have inspired other builds further up the page. Im glad people are actually trying to make and try out the builds we have been posting instead of just looking at pictures of them...I wish VU would make a page where us builders could put all our own build pics in our profile so others can just click and see builds from specific people...instead of going page to page in this thread to see pics. I lost most of my build pics from my phone and it took almost an hour to scour over the last 20 pages copying all my builds to save them...
Im not cool enough for Social Networking
Thank you. I know that would be a great idea. I was scrolling through so many pages yesterday to take a look at some pics.
Alright so here's another one. Also my first time building on the Goliath RDA.
I made an octa-coil on it (26 gauge, 10 reps, 0.13), but these 8 traditional coils still don't give out 40% of the flavor that I'm getting from a dual fused clapton even though I used 32 gauge to wrap around 26 gauge. I'm probably going with a quad single-wire clapton next.
They look kinda crooked, but I promise they all light up evenly lol.
I'm looking at them right now. Wow! Those are some amazing coils!! I can sit and look at them for quite some time. Like 30 mins at the least lol.
What are the coils in the first two pics called? They look so hard to make, but they are some beautiful coils!

Those are stitched aliens
Thank you! They're not really that hard to make, once you get a little practice. I've posted this before, but here's a pic of my first build I ever did, back in May or June:

Hey guys- quick input wanted here
I always get told "wow man, you blow clouds" when I'm at class... We have a group of ~9 people that need out nicotine fix during a long 8 hour day in class.. 3 vape, not including me. The rest analogs.
Anyways I have been chasing flavor now for MONTHS! But I still blow decent plumage as I run claptons of varying types, and typically around 80-110 watts...
I was laughing and said "I'll show you guys clouds on Tuesday."
Tomorrow's Tuesday and I'm going to have to sit down and put together a build that will blow those clouds!
I am going to build on the Doge X2 - obviously meant for cloud chasing.
Going to put it on my IPV 3 Li. So I wanna build something I could take up to 150 watts or so...
I've got on hand :
20 G KA1, 26 G N60, 28G KA1, and of course clapton wire.
What you guys think I should do? WhT build do you guys recommend?

I've never really looked into cloud builds as much as I wanted to. But if you have straight VG on hand, use that. I have a small 0 nic juice bottle that I labeled "Apple Clouds". It is 98%VG and 2% FlavourArt Fuji Apple.
I've got a 80/20 blend. It's more of the build I'm looking for.

I would say use the 20g kanthal as the core for a Clapton with the 28g as the wrap to deliver juice and a twisted 26g nichrome staging to increase ramp up time.
Edit: I just checked on Steam Engine, and you'll have to use 7 wraps @3mm to bring this to above 0.10Ω if you are using a dual coil.

Okay, so I'm not sure what are the best coils to use. I'm new at this, but I was bored one day and I had some pre-made single-wire clapton that I bought off of ebay and I decided to braid it.
I did five wraps around the traditional blue screw driver (not sure the diameter) and it came out to 0.11 if i remember correctly for a single coil.
The coil requires post holes as wide as the ones in twisted messes RDA and I had to make it 70% vertical to avoid clearance issues.
I posted this pic earlier in the thread, but here it is again. Let me know if you build this and how it comes out because I want to try it again with different wires to get higher resistance and be able to set up a dual coil maybe.
Interesting idea on the 20 G core ... 28 gauge outside though, that would be a hot vape I imagine.

Do a search for "Braidator" on YouTube, or even Google Images. And try #braidator on IG. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Not sure about the X2, but I have the Doge Competition V2 in copper, and yes - it can get quite warm at times.
I'm glad you told me about this because I'm viewing this page right now and going crazy.
