I’d say they are spot on too, I’d be stoked with that build congrats ???Thank you for the enlightening suggestion ?

Some shots before dry-burning, and confused what to learn next. Perhaps keep grinding the aliens until perfection ???
Thank you, dear sir ??
Another gratitude for your enlightening ?
Currently brainstorming on what to do next LoL
In direct comparison to fraliens, I get better flavor from a stapled helix build with 32g for making the twisted frames, .3×.1 for the ribbon stack, and 40g correctly matching the angle in each groove of the twisted frames.
Lol I've done this. I start feeling nervous sometimes and breathing lightly or holding my breathe even. I get tired of wrapping sometimes and instead of taking a break, I push forward. My arm twitches and then I screw up.
Also up there agree ...easier to make too
Frank looks like cores have collapsed in some of these, what prep do you do, could just be lhe light in the photos?
I see what you mean now, thanks! I think it happened from the way I wrapped them around my jig. I was careless but learned what not to do.
It is why I prefer to use 29g for the frames instead of 28g. And use a rolling pin before I coil it up, which makes it feel a tad less springy when I wrap it up.
Could try going for a slightly shorter length? Don’t know how many wraps you want from a pair of coils mind, shorter the length though less twisting you get toward the middle of it which helps keep it all in check 12” sounds ok though
Basically I covered it here some moments ago.
Yeah, I think this is what happened. Ill be paying more attention next time and wrap them carefully around my jig. I just wrapped them like they were regular round wire this time. I don't know what I was thinking. It's very evident in this one-

That’ll be it then that bottom one came out perfect ???Yeah, I think this is what happened. Ill be paying more attention next time and wrap them carefully around my jig. I just wrapped them like they were regular round wire this time. I don't know what I was thinking. It's very evident in this one-

Here's my first Fralien I ever made. I remember wrapping it with my hand way closer to the jig and how stiff it felt-
Somewhere along the way, I forgot the basics on wrapping frailens around a jig. At least that's what I'm thinking. Ill try to be more meticulous about everything next time. I'm really glad you said something.
Found it.
??
Sure thing build whatever makes you happy and gaining the sense of achievement getting it done, what it’s all about really for hobby builders anywayThank you for your suggestion ?
I'm still meddling with some issues though. For current personal target, I'm aiming at 20 inches of perfectly wrapped aliens. Most of the time, I messed up approx. 10 inches. Mostly it appears to be overstretched/overtensioned ???
cool thanks caram ?Found it.
NEED HELP! wraping staple coils
hay every one!!! iv come to a stand still in my coil building journeys, i can build just about any coil out there,fused Clapton,staggered,alien,ex. but i cant seem to wrap staple coils with out them buckling and twisting!! all those dudes on Instagram staple coils are wrapped perfect and i cant...vapingunderground.com
EDIT: I believe it's essentially the same principle as what's shown after 17:58 in this fishtail braid video tutorial:
Nice fralien there ???
The first time I tried to make an alien coil, I used the no stretch method. It was a disaster. I've never tried it again. Maybe when I get more confidence I'll give it another shot. I still get a bit anxious alien wrapping anything. I have a pretty good idea on when to stop stretching de cores. It's been working well for me just stretching them out.
