Don't quote me on this, but I don't think you can make aliens with the daedalus jig. You can make the clapton wrap for the alien, but then you have to wrap the clapton by hand. However, If you are planning to eventually attempt builds that are more complex than your fused claptons, i would suggest you don't buy a jig. Instead, get good at making claptons and fused claptons by hand, that way it won't be too difficult to start building more complex builds that cannot be made with a jig since, by then, you would have mastered the hand made clapton, assuming you haven't done so already. I make my fused claptons by hand and I'm still trying to master the alien and triple cores. But in the beginning, when i started to build, i was tempted to buy the deadalus. But when they stoped selling the jig by itself, since i own a drill, the price discouraged me. Now, i'm glad that I didn't buy it, since now, I have the fused clapton skill under my belt and can hopefully move up to more complex builds with less difficulty. As for the time, I build them pretty quickly. I don't think the jig would save me any time. However, If you just want to build for practical purposes, that is, to get a flavorful coil that will bring out all the complexities of your expensive e-juice, and you haven't mastered the fused clapton, then do invest in the deadalus jig. You'll be able to make fused claptons fast and easy and move on to enjoying your vape. After all, the alien and other fancy builds are not noticeably more flavorful. The fused clapton will, in my opinion, give you the best flavor. But if you want to build for the sheer creativity of making something awesome to look at, if you want to create works of art like the fellows that have posted their builds on this site, then, in my opinion, learn to do these simple builds by hand, since there is no jig that will build those masterpieces. I personally love looking at fancy coil builds. The shape, the colors, the perfect patterns, the different types of decks, they look like something made in another planet. Out of this world man! Coil building, in every sense of the word, has become an art form, and if you want to master it, you can't take shortcuts. Theirs no easy road to getting there.
