yup its close to my current favorite as well (32/42 all n80 tho). im still a noob at building mtl setups, but this is the most responsive and nicest vaping build i have tried yet (still yet to try @KarmicRage dual twisted cored fused clapton tho)
Loool I'm guilty in doing 3 ft sections. I stopped because honestly the quality and the twisting is a problem. I got it down pretty good because I have to wait till my landlord leaves. She lives downstairs. Her fat ass daughter complains about everything. That will hopefully be ending soon.If it spins around perfectly smooth, you should be good. I like having that little bit of extra distance between my swivels and where I work... it's easier to keep the cores snug if they're a bit longer than really necessary for your build, but the downside is you're wasting more wire so it kind of depends on whatever it is you prefer. There's this guy named M.Terk who likes to make his cores a lot longer than the house that I live in.
I'm feeling smug as shit, I believe I have aliens down
Had to make more today to be sure yesterday wasn't just good luck or something, and I did both 40 and 38 just to make sure I could change gauges

(I also tried 46 but we won't talk about that)
My spinLt should be here tomorrow.hopefully goes a lot smoother
Can't wait to try it out. Everyone is asleep at the moment. Like wtf. It's 89° sunny and everyone is sleeping.
Oh noI just realized that the swivels I ordered through Amazon yesterday are coming from China
...bet they get here before the low gauge wire I ordered from KBee, though
I will warn you; the Spin LT does not allow for radial movement (up & down, side to side), so wide coils that don't chuck exactly centered are challenging. To solve this, I attach one of my high dollar ball bearing swivels to it for some movement allowance until I get some wraps going so I can chuck it a little more centered. All that said; it still beats the shit out of just fishing swivels! Well worth the money spent! You'll love it!
I LOVE shipping from China. -=Not=-I just realized that the swivels I ordered through Amazon yesterday are coming from China

Thanks for that tip. Probably helps more than I know.

Hey guys,
i made my very first pairs from a spool of geekvape 26/32 clapton wire. it was hard af to decore, but i got aliens out of it. the problem is that most of it is using too low of a gauge for the wrap wire, so it wont be the best vaping alien coil. the lv stuff has 34, which is getting closer to being ideal. i cant see properly what the spool from avs says, but if its higher than 34, that is ideal (36 or higher is always recommended for wrap wire on any build. i only use 34 or lower if i am going to polish it after, which removes almost half the wrap wire in the process).

good luck and make sure to post pics of your results.
thats what i ended up doing, and it was still quite a struggle. i dunno about the ud/avs or lv stuff, but the geekvape stuff i used had very rough/irregular core wire and the 32 gauge wrap tightness was pretty inconsistent as well. in some spots it was so tight it that the core wire had grooves in it, in other spots it was loose.
OK thanks, I'll go with that. Got a decent price on that, £1.49 including postage for 50m reel of 36g (KA1).! Ordered from crazywire.
You don't want that in your coils.
Try holding it as if sand is slipping through your fingers.
You're right, I did think about residues so I went with nothing in the end, it was just a matter of tension, I may have slightly understretched the decore.
Your advice Is always spot on. Your so helpful. You have a great heart, and it's cool to see good people succeed in building. You wanted this, now to have it. That's pretty cool to me.
Have u ever tried the keyring method instead of the slider way ? Was thinking of trying that method for more than 3 core . I have the patinos spacers already but find they don't work well with 4 core
I'm not there yet but I'll be following this when I do. Great job MegForget all that crap about binding and gluing the ends that I posted above lol
Here is a video showing what I learned from Raymo2u's stream the other night for making multiple core and framed stuff by looping both ends of the cores - way faster, and no ribbon slider needed if you get it right
It's my first video...I'll work on getting the quality lined up better, and maybe smiling next time
