Need to learn more about this
spacing wraps. I am going to explore the Tube of You for video reference on the subject. Hope you can lend some guidance after if I still require it.
Always seem to wrap very tight here with little to no spacing. It usually seems to work adequately for me. There again perhaps this too is a
subjective matter.
Enjoy doing up Clapton wire by hand or drill. I do single strand and fused wire mainly. Not quite gotten ambitious enough or desiring enough to attempt a
true Alien wire done up.
I also mix wire materials, NiChrome 80 core wires wrapped with SS316 L, Kanthal A1 wrapped with NiChrome 80 and so on. Can also do same wire material. Like the mixing of materials just as something to do for a chuckle.
Well, off to the Tube of You.
Run 'er slow.

Alright. I think doing spaced coils might be a good idea.
Found quite a few excellent videos on the Tube of You about making spaced coils. Then, I applied what had been demonstrated, think I got the knack of it.
It simply requires a little more deliberation, time in doing the coil to ensure it is in equanimity.
Put a nicely even spaced 24 awg SS316 wrapped round 3 mm ID 10 wraps. Chose that as I did a little figuring once and found that works out to around 0.5 ohm. That will suit my purposes on a Goon LP deck for a mech mod.
The coil glows evenly from the inside out.
It also cools off rather quickly as well. This means a bit less strain on the metal, as from past recall quicker cooling helps harden the metal yet doesn't create brittleness. Of course, this comes understanding I might be in error. I'm human and memory doesn't always behave correctly.
