My first staggered fused. 2x 24g spaced claptons withb34g. Fused with 34g. It was my first time doing the loop method for spacing as well which was quite difficult. I also made an alien last night that I dare not post.

It almost has a wrought iron feel to it close up.

I thought about using square wire as the core for aliens as it may keep them flat a lot better with high gauge cores

Good for Caterpillar Cores Also, May get the Outer Wrap completely flat using it...
Thats what the damn hammers for
Found some Square 316L for much cheaper then the 304 SS...I cant believe how expensive square wire is from that SquareOhm site..

Im still thinking of getting a draw plate for some custom wire ideas. There are fine square, flat and half round plates out there reasonably priced. Half round would be great for framed staples and the flat for single core aliens

The primary benefit(besides not having to shell out more money for shaped wire) is when you draw it it comes out straight, you can also anneal it while you have tension on the drawn wire. I've used a draw plate with silver but should be about the same with these alloys i would imagine

Already ordering some now
, Im not ordering half round as I dont see the use in it...Maybe I will think of something...maybe some twisted conceptions...
Im guessing you used the Square wire to make that Caterpillar? It looks as chrome and smooth as a 80's Chevy Bumper!
Very nice job man, very nice!

First try at 40g aliens, these things suck! I got enough for maybe one coil so it went about as expected.

Congrats.... I'm still working on getting a bit more comfortable with wrapping the claptons (only doing it for a few days now) maybe this weekend ill try the aliens.First try at 40g aliens, these things suck! I got enough for maybe one coil so it went about as expected.

I would definitely get more comfortable wrapping claptons and fused claptons before jumping straight in to aliens, its very frustrating at first and may put you off. I was building for a couple months before I gave aliens a shot. That first Clapton wrap is crucial too, if its not absolutely perfect your alien won't wrap right when you stretch it.

Yeah that's why I'm gonna keep practicing first. I mean im getting the hang of it more and more each time. Wrapping up 2 more coils now and I'll have fused Claptons in all my attys

That is an EXTREMELY important factor to remember when it comes to making aliens. If your decored Clapton isn't perfect, you never be able to make enough alien wire for even a single coil.
Took me forever and some money to find how much to stretch the wire...I actually bought some coils from Chef and with the extra legs I cut off I found that I wasnt stretching the clapton far enough out. Ive gotten much better since but I still rock Chef's Coils
I actually "cheat" on the stretch, I stretch it a little then stretch it with my fingers as I'm wrapping the alien if that makes sense.Took me forever and some money to find how much to stretch the wire...I actually bought some coils from Chef and with the extra legs I cut off I found that I wasnt stretching the clapton far enough out.

You da man!
That's an excellent technique, actually. Especially if you're limited on room to lay out your stretched wire. It also works wonders for 40g and above.
It's really the only way for higher gauge wire, 36g can go either way but for 38 and up I have to stretch in my fingers.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
It does look like an arched Clapton, but fuckin aye, still a great job on your first attempt in my opinion. And its probably still a great vape. What are the wire specs?

Thanks
surprisingly not the best vape I've had by far /: Shouldn't have used such a low gauge to parallel. It's 3x26g with 34 on the outside. Paralleled with 22g.Sent from my Phablet
Instagram: @ohmmage
Well the 22g at least is helping with the ramp up time, yeah?

Remind me why i keep trying to do this... 33/38 aliens
i have to go so slow when i wrap these to keep the cores flat. @scarecrowjenkins @CrazyChef, any input?
