A staged clapton is in fact a parallel coil using different wires. Staging would lower the overall resistance.
I will def have to try this out then. Next day off I have I'll fire up the ol' coil maker and then try staging some coils.

Meh. Overrated and overpriced from what I hear. As someone from this very forum so eloquently put it to me....
"It's just a fuckin plastic box, not a real mod like an SVA, you must be high"

That was one of my favorites.

But I don't like cartoony looking mods :teehee:

Has anyone heard of the buttons melting on a Armageddon sqounker? I've never heard of this, but someone posted in the thread I bought one in bringing it up.

I have one of the Sig tips for the Hadley on the way. I got it for my Soul S which still isnt here...lol

If they are indeed as good as everyone says they are, ill be getting more.

Also on the way with the Sig tips is my L.E. SQ sqounker, with brushed punisher doors. They are in two seperate orders becuase when i ordered the Sqounker the doors where out of stock. They got me on shipping twice but i had to grab them while i could.

Cool cool. I really dig that group. Picked up a couple of those Never Normal glow buttons for my Runt & Bolt. Was sorely tempted on that Proteus Squi but held off for now even though it looks tight.
Rent time is right around the corner so I'm on lockdown right now : ((

Thats funny that you mention the Squi. I ended up getting one before all 100 where spoken for. I hope its a kickass atty. I kinda wish i hadnt spent the money on it. Just becuase i dont know if its gonna be any good. No one has used it yet. Oh well, if i dont like it im sure i can always sell it for what i paid for it. Will deff let you know how i like it whenever it finally shows up.

I know have the Soul S, Basic rda, and the Skui that are coming my way. Alot of money spent on those 3. Lets hope they are worth it. I have been going a little too crazy with my spending. I need to sell off more of my regulated mods and rta's i dont use. I have another Sherman in Gunmetal i will probably list. I know you dont want one of those :giggle::giggle::giggle:

Wow I just realized I can't go 20700. I'd lose my battery meter. Or I'd have to get bigger juice bottles.

Got an absolute steal yesterday! Brand new stomp box from custom creations with a brand new 8.5ml cappy kompact for... $70 shipped! Guy bought it, never filled a bottle and just took a couple hits ftom his rda and decided mechs weren't for him. Score! I'd never buy that high end of a bottle myself, and the stomp is kinda big, but who could say no!?

As a 30Q user who doesn't need the extra amperage, I concur. I can see maybe the 21700 being worth buying all new battieries and a charger for...but not the 20700.
I just got some vct5a been using 25r forever but I'm new to mech but loving it

I think the only thing I may not end up liking is the overall size of the stomp, its ridiculously tall. I figure worst case I could likely sell the mod for close to what I paid and keep the bottle for another smaller mod. Then again, its the 8.5ml version and may not fit in a lot of boxes.

I left my prized boxer squonk and my dead rabbit in my fathers car yesterday...probably wont see it for a month now and its all Ive been using since I got it :cry::cry::cry:

I need a new 20700 cellto run that dual parallel 20700 box but Im thinking of selling it and hoping I get enough for a decent single 20700 Squonk.

@BrewBear you were spot on about the differences in paraclap and staging.

Parallel wires is for staggering, you clapton with 2 or more stands and then remove the extra strands to leave a gap that you will lay a fuse into later. This is how I make the wires like these:

8973aa4ff85487cbe30b028dd46ef6d4.jpg


Staging wire or the older term "Parallel Coils" is using a second wire to coil between a coil....Dual coils in one coil essentially, cutting the resistance and usually the time to heat up a coil normally.

Examples:

Lol just think...I've owned a dslr for less then 3 months and barely know how to use it...in time I hope to get better but I'm loving photography so far....I appreciate the comment though

Just to share I use a:
Cannon T6 Rebel
Cannon 60mm Macro Lens
25mm Extension Tube (paired with the Raynox to get those super close images)
Raynox DCR-250 (to get closer)
F6.5/ISO100 and around 60-100 shot stacks for each

Next year I plan to get the 10pm and 35mm cannon efs lenses for more flexibility and the 100mm to get even closer

Dude, sucks about your mod in your dad's car. I should be receiving my boxer tomorrow and I'll throw my dead rabbit on there and take a photo just for you. What do those staged aliens ohm out to on that dead rabbit they are on? Just curious.

Blue mirrored in the pic, sapphire is the bees knees also, either way you won't go wrong. The blue mirror is just stunning IMO, the depth it gives adds a nice dimension, but it will show more fingerprints and scratch / swirl marks than the frosted.

Edit for frosty sapphire goodness on black and white enclosures. Not the best light, but too bad.

Now, can you do that voodoo that you doo..and find a Nuppin and a regulated squonk, preferably of the DNA75C and 2x700 persuasion that doesn't require my getting a second and third mortgage?

Always on the lookout for you dude, you are asking for the rarest unicorn of all it seems, not a whole lotta love for the regulated rigs... yet... ; ))

They are SS Aliens with 26g N80 for staged heating its .07-.09 for what I posted but I did a blurb about battery safety for the advanced user to make people see more depth into resistance and battery safety while still giving them a insight into checking how safe something is....resistance and ohms law is a good beginners guideline to keep people safe but being terrified of something thats not really as crazy as people make it seem is just misinformation to me.

BTW for those that want good squonk bottles the YFTK bottles on 3fvape for 4.99 are the softest bottles Ive ever tried...the SMJY are very similar to the Modmaker bottles if stiffness but I like them alot too.

I know! They're comin' 'round the corner, you just wait! The only regulated 2x700 single battery is the one from catfish and I heard mixed opinions....then there's the 18650 ones: BAM but at $500 it's a bit out of my reach, besides, the boxer is about half that (it 'aint all ultem but f**k it, it will do). The Nuppin is a whole other story!

Someone buy a black one and I'll trade you my brand new white box for it. You can keep the clear door and have a beautiful white/clear box. Lol, of course they come into stock now. I just broke down and bought one in the hardware section. I'm not complaining, I got a great deal but damn.
