Everyone needs a day off. No doubt about that. Especially a mailman with a vaper on their route. As many packages come through our boxes. Lol

Is anyone building tonight?
Prepped 21 pairs of staples. Each of these are around 16 inches and will give me 3 coils each.

how lucky.. thought I ordered everything early enough to make it by this weekend, but looks like with Monday being a holiday, I won't get my vape mail til Tues :( no builds this weekend - blah!

on a side note, I wish I could find the same deal on kendo gold that I found a few months back, 6 packs for 15 bucks.. now I have to use cotton bacon, which is a distant second imo, but 5 packs for 10 bucks isnt bad.

Im not sure what it is with USPS but when I mail a bunch of orders some of them say preshipment...for days...sometimes even up to the point of arrival. I believe your package was mailed on Friday mid day so it should be past the point of "preshipment"...

UPDATE:
Seems they finally updated your tracking...

5f6b3087d9dae101eed29be5024dbe0a.png




USPS has become incredibly unreliable and shitty, they have lost (no tracking updates in 1 month + or misdelivered/opened) almost 35 orders in the past 2 months from one business alone that doesnt sell "that much" gear....I can only imagine how many order a large business replaces due to their unreliability. Unfortunately FedEx and UPS arent any better, are slower and more costly. I have made it a routine to add $100 insurance with every order now, that way I can atleast get something positive out of replacing an order...

This weekends shenanigans so far. Currently vaping the second one, on a single 21700 mech. 1x 30/40g ni80, 2x28g/36g ss, 4x .4x.01 ribbon. Weighing in at .18 ohms. Tasty.

The pair rings in at .08, miscalculated something lol. I’ll just toss them on a DNA I guess.

I'm gonna Try something like that today, get a staggered core in the middle. Your coils have so many steps and I'm not sure if my brain can hang in there that long, but I'm gonna Try lol

I hate the USPS. As a general rule, I default to blaming them any time there's an issue lol between hemorrhaging money and having little to no accountability, its way past time to save the tax money and start phasing them out in favor of better and cheaper options, but that's just me.

according to tracking, the post office got the item on the 26th lol which leads me to believe it was left on a truck most likely :/

I would love to "rebuild" the USPS, it could be a great service, especially with the resources they already have, they just need workers that are diligent and machines/scanners that work...

Theres a bunch of other things I would like changed in favor of the people and efficiency...but that would give us as people too much power, the government has worked hard the last 150 years trying to slowly cripple that so I doubt they would embrace any idea like it and use the arm of propaganda (News Networks) to call people like myself a right wing extremist (Im a individualist and patriot), you see it with "Sovereign Citizens" and other groups already when the 14th Amendment states thats what we all are, but the media and government will label you as a domestic terrorist if you actually try to represent/inform others/use the intended freedoms and rights you have and see the government as a fictional debt master/trader it is. The moment your born your given a SSN which labels you as a corporation/business, thats how your taxed and "dominated" as property for the government free to be traded as commerce....but dont mind my shiny foil hat, Im crazy.

I'm a good mix of originalist/libertarian/conservative depending on which issue I happen to be discussing. I had a big long reply typed out, but I'm not sure this is the place for it lol not to mention I tend to lose "friends" when I start discussing politics and or religion. :) I will say I do not believe the country we have now is the country the founders envisioned. had they known how their language and ideas were going to be twisted and used, not one would've signed the constitution.

edit: if it makes you feel any better, I'm labeled one of those crazy right-wingers too *shrug* my family and I served to protect the rights they abuse, so at least its proof it wasnt for nothing :)

Im not a person who cares what other people think of me, if I have something to say Ill say it, without questioning and debate we cannot grow or gain from another...as long as its not against policy or rule in the area Im in. If people dont like you for you than those are people who do not need your respect or attention, there are others out there that welcome ideas and conversation (even if they disagree with you). The vaping community, especially the building end seem to be pretty open to conversation and understanding...most of us like to put effort into more than just building and it leaks into all facets including politics. In many places today people are just ill informed and fear what they dont have knowledge of or dont understand and those people are ones that frown at others who talk openly. Speaking out and informing those in places where the discussion may never be brought up could turn a few heads, but it could also make some curious and those are people that may one day see past the veil of illusion and propaganda...If one never makes a statement or debate those individuals may carry on willfully and unknowingly fighting against themselves forever.

In many cases, its those that preach tolerance are the MOST intolerant...to anything that doesnt agree with them.

If anyone ever has a question or would like to chat about anything from firearms to anything...whether they are for or against, send me a message. I wont judge anything said and I try to be as cordial and astute as I can be (I am from the Northeast mind you :D).

That tsuka is actually pretty easy, its a alien framed staple except they used ribbon as the Clapton for the decore.

I just did something similar without the stiching on Instagram. You can get 600ft of .3 kanthal ribbon for $18 from kbeevapeswholesale.com or 500ft .2 or .3 in SS for $30 at coilsociety. You will use about 40ft for a finished 14" stick

does that mean they didn't razorback clapton the ribbon, for the decore?

I got that 600ft kbee ribbon, on my 5th spool and it's all been clean and straight so I might consider getting more that way

Correct, they only claptoned using the ribbon, the "twist" you can see below the stitching in the center over the core is a good sign it was a clapton originally. Razorback would stand on edge with no twist....and is difficult! Round wire aliens also have the same twist, you just dont see it as pronounced because....its round ;)

Made just like any alien framed staple, just used .2 SS Ribbon claptoning as normal.

I used 26g Decore, 28g Frames and 6ply .3R for the Core. If you use 22g you can get the Alien wave much more apparent....like below:

18382010_119212308651330_7436602316720963584_n.jpg


Using larger Ribbon, using .3 in this example. It akes a bit more effort with larger Ribbon as the clapton as its less likely to cooperate with you, .4t is a nightmare...

Guys, I'm having 2 issues. One is that I'm catching my ass to find something that outperforms an Alien Framed Staple. Any Ideas with be appreciated once it isn't something that'll take all day to get 4 coils as I build in high numbers. Second one is that for the life of me I can't get stitched Aliens down. The stitch always bunches up in my decore and I get a hot mess in my hand...My decore and stitch are around the same length. 36g for the Alien and 40g for the Stitch. All NI80.

Have you tried multiple round core aliens (like 5-8?) with higher gauges, Or using a higher gauge wrap wire? Or alien staples with no frames?

@william.osendott Yes the clamps are in stock, also Ive got a new website...so much easier to navigate and is much cleaner.
BuildersBoutique.store

If you use the 2 Day shipping option you should have them by Saturday if ordering Thursday before 2pm (Eastern USA Time)...orders normally ship the same day during the week.
Ray, your clamp is the best, i make premade coils using your clamp, u said to me once "it's designed for life" it's true man, i've got 4 just in case but i think there will be no in case :D

I've tried almost all kind of builds, braidator produces the best flavor (slentre braid) staggered slentre braid produces more th IMO. Even only 3 cores round wires. 7loops is better than 5 loops. Never tried alien staggered, though @raymo2u , u forgot to send me your build when you sent clamps :(

Trying to increase my efficiency. About 56cm of usable framed staple wire, enough for 4 coils with a little to spare. This one is 2x28g frames , and 6x 0.4mm cores. 38g binding.
