First attempt at parallels with a 24g kanthal and a 26g ss turned out fairly nice vapor production is good too I was in a rush when doing it. When I went to change my cotton the wire broke on my triple twisted ss

Ive never braided anything before...so a team member and I had a bet, If he could make a framed staple I would make a braid...He finally pulled one off and I took to learning about braiding.
First braid ever was a Alien Framed Staple Cored Slentre'

3rd Braid worth showing is a Fishtail Braid..



Something Else Ive been working on today:

 

[raymo2u]

Coiled up!!

 

[mach1ne]

well i had some time to build today so i challenged myself.

groove fused claptons 30/36/42...got three coils worth, but only one was ok, i broke the 42 somehow, twice, so both the other coils have holes in them and look like hell was clearly not super happy when i wrapped the good one up and took this pic lol


and my first 30 gauge aliens. a bit rough but i have tried this once before and i didnt even get a functional pair of coils. always wanted to try aliens on the petri/cricket combo...so far its great


great work @raymo2u that first braid is sick. after seeing @MR.G. on the last page and yours, i think that will be my next thing to learn.

Todays Build, a El Twisty Supreme SSFC Variant

SPECS: 9 x .4R/46KD/28g 316L/40N80/44KD

 

[GoPackGo]

First of all, the coils above are absolutely gorgeous. Amazing work.

This is a wire that I'm playing around with. Apparently it's called a framed multiple core. I wanted to call it tesla wire. I played a lot of command and conquer when I was younger.... It's 30 strands of 40g and 2 strands of 28g Claptoned with 30 gauge and flattened. 5 wraps came out to .15 which is my perfect resistance. I'm amazed that I was able to pull that off on my first serious attempt. There are a lot of changes I will make. First, it's all kanthal. I want to change the wrap to Nicrome or Nicole. Also the core wires, I wasn't to lower gauge and use slightly less and I think flattening the wire made the wires act more like a single wire. I want it looser so juice can really sink in. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Tanker]

Alright, so I built these, this morning, and stopped by my local B&M, and they all thought I needed to share them so here they are. Staged Clapton 6 wrap. 26x34 N80 Clapton with a .9x.3mm twisted rectangle N80 staging coil. .2ohms each, vaping at 150watts. They are pretty, I will give them that.

 

[raymo2u]

Ill share my todays build also

Its just a step up from yesterday but it looks better IMO

SPECS: 11 x .4R/46KD/28g 316L/40N80/42KD

 

[OneBadWolf]

I haven't, but I'd be very interested to find out what others think of it.

Ok. Beta Titanium vapes just fine. I cannot seem to get it working in TC, and it is wretched stuff to build.

 

[mach1ne]

@GoPackGo nice work. i did a framed multicore alien a while ago. i cant remember how many strands, but i used steam engine to determine the thickness so that my multistrand core was the same thickness as my frames (i think it was 5-7 strands of 40 lightly twisted = 1 strand of 26). i should try that in 28 gauge today...thanks for the reminder

looks great @Tanker

 

[midknight420]

Finally got the wraps on my clapton to tidy up, but it is a bit loose on the core wire. Any suggestions or maybe even a link to a good helper YouTube vid would be much appreciated.

try a higher gauge wrap wire. 34-38 is the easiest range to work/learn on imo. they are soft enough to wrap smoothly, but strong enough not to break in your hands, and performance is great.

A little trick for you once you find or someone gives you a vid on how to get nicely contacting clapton wraps is before you go wrapping the wire on your mandrel to make your coil is strip about 2mm of clapton from each end of your wire and bend the bare wire over onto the clapton and crimp it down tight with your pliers, this will stop the claptons from moving.

Got a G24 Seminole by Compvape and a El Diablo Anubis Mod Today and wanted to do something different then normal for it.
I should have done this for the Twisted Messes Squared but I had a build in it already so here they are...Aliens Squared!

Ok.... This is a coil that I'm interested in. Don't get me wrong, you do some absolutely beautiful work, some really amazing coils, but I don't have the time or space to devote to building coil art, I have a dining room table and an hour a week. This is something I could pull off in my time space allotment. Not sure that I would use the SS core, but I want to know what it comes in at. Besides I really like working with square wire.

 

[mcrazzle54]

Holy shit. I'm gone for a while and Ray has stepped up his game to a whole other level. Last time i was on Ray you had just got the corgated build down. Aliens squared and el twisty damn man. They look absolutely stunning!

6 Wrap/3mm Dual Coil was .17 I believe with 26KA1 Cores. It really doesnt take long to make aliens..maybe 20 minutes start to finish for a few coils and then wrapping them. I appreciate the compliments though!

That's excellent! I like the .1-.2 range. What's the ramp up time like? I typically run between 120-150 watts, they look like they wil deliver a pretty warm vape, which is what I like. How's the flavor and cloud production. Sorry, I get like a teenage girl when I get excited about building a coil. Lol.

Ive yet to even wick it bro I only heated it up enough to color so far...I was going to build a identical pair and use 5 wraps and then vape those on the Anubis...Ill let you know how that goes

Its not a secret that I love building..but its the building I like...I rarely ever vape the builds I post..Im a Aliens/Alien Framed Staples in a RTA kinda guy

That twist in the square wire, is that naturally occurring or did you give it a little twist?

I had to clapton it on its edge...the square wire almost looked like its edge woild lay over the previous a bit...thats the way I had to do it for the center to twist evenly...

Dropped my favorite series quick-build in the Gold AF TwistedMesses Squared. This is my favorite "gotta get a build in this thing now" build haha. Dual~core 28/36 Atomizerwick Kanthal Aliens. Dual 7 wraps around 3mm hits right at .4Ω on the nose. Safe, flavorful, and highly effective series vape.
These atties are absolutely STUNNING, and the new Ultem comfort caps he's got are literally the most comfortable drip tip i ever used. The dotmod caps used to be my favorite, but i'm liking these quite a bit more and they hardly even get warm, which is hard to find for anyone running high-wattage builds. Definitely give these caps a look if you own the TM2.

Thats the Clapton for the Aliens pictured previously with the Squared wire The process was alot like making Aliens with 28g...stiff and harder to wrap then 30g+ and can be irritating!

Yeah, I figured it was. Kidney punchers wire comes off nice and straight though, so I figure get a couple of wraps and give it a twist with the pliers, and it should flow a little smoother.

I always stretch my wire...the square wire has more give then you think

 

[VapeSalsa]

These are a pain. Wanted to do it just to say I've done it. I think I prefer the vape from fused clapton or alien.

I think my swivels are too stiff because the wires always end up twisted towards the middle. Also need to do a better job wrapping.

Might want to grab a SpinLT and rid yourself of the swivels for good man..I hated swivels. I use ribbon wire on those as well as everything else to keep the "structure" of the wire length. With staggereds you dont want to pinch it as tightly as it will drag on the spacing and ruin it but thats what I suggest trying.

Take a 2" piece of Ribbon wire and wrap is loosely around your wire after its lined up and ready, then pinch it with nylon pliers lightly, it should be able to slide...now make 4-5 of these and now you are set up for the drill without any issues like collapsing and twisting. Just slide them on down as you get close to them and the more the better...Another thing, for Staggered Fused builds I like having the Ribbon center to be "floating" like below...it helps removes the chance of the ribbon to twist and pop out or become warped..The Ribbon isnt in the Drill or on the swivel, I try to keep it around 2-3" from both ends and have a "Ribbon Slider" FIRMLY Pinched at both ends of the Ribbon...think of it like a walking bridge

Will the bearings in the spin lt eventually wear out too? I'm currently using magnets as swivels just because I don't need to replace them ever but somehow staggered fused claptons feel so much harder with the magnet swivel setup.

They are Bone Reds...They are abused by skateboarders for years and years before need replacing or cleaning...and thats with crazy amounts of pressure and other forces wearing on them along with dirt and other debris/water/ect getting inside them....using them in this fashion is basically the same as them free spinning load free...they should last longer then you. I couldnt imagine using magnets...Ive pulled 200lbs rated swivels apart with some of the wire and the pull force Ive put on them.
If you have something that works for you then you dont need to change it, but for those that do have issues and want a "almost friction-less setup" there isnt much better then the SpinLT..Ive bought swivels for more then it costs and still experienced binding and sway.but Im glad its over..

These are "Tests" that I ran to prove its almost friction-less and Ive never had ANY set of swivels that could pass these. I couldnt really think of any other way to "Show" its a improvement but these clips definitely do.

Holy shit that second test! Definitely worth looking into. The biggest problems I have with magnets are staggereds and the occasional wire getting dislodged in my anchor from all the force of the pull.

Thats the reason I wouldnt do magnets...it would happen more then then not for me..Its nice having some thing would break the wire before it would actually pull apart to work with...

Dont order the ProSpinII...order the SpinLT. The Prospin is seeming to have issues while the SpinLT has not.

Im also impatiently waiting for the Goon 22 but also looking at a few other RDA's! Lynx RDA, Norris RDA, Virus RDA, and the Shuriken 24 all look pretty badass.

Haha yeah saw your post. Stop showing the goon 22 or sell them already. I refresh my browser almost every 4 hours just to check if it's already for sale.

I'm going to be a bit pig headed about the goon22. Bought a brass underground tube and it's 22mm, so all other 24 rdas are out. I'll check the ones you mentioned if they come in brass. I'm ready to try my hand at staples and want to make sure it fits, hence the goon.

Thanks for the advice! I thought of doing something similar but was afraid I'd ruin the spacing on the clapton. Now that I know it won't I'll definitely do it.

Also ordered a spinlt. Looking forward to trying it.

Where do you guys see the goon 22? The 24 already has good flavor. 22 should be fantastic.

Yea its going to be released right after VPX...I hope they make it in Ti! @inspects gifted me a Ti a bit ago and it is my favorite so far...no polishing, stiffer clamps, soft but extremely tough feel...plus the chuff it comes with is a dream!

 

[raymo2u]

I keep getting asked how I hook up my builds that are wide to the SpinLT...Here's a pic to show how I go about it..

I have my wire hooked up to my drill in what ever fashion (Chuck, Hand Vise or Looped on a Paperclip) and at the SpinLT end I will have the wire end flat. I will secure it with ribbon sliders and princh them as hard as I can, then wrap wire around the end and loop it through the SpinLT Hook then back on the wire and pin it down. Then wrap that in Ribbon.....this only needs to be done fore wire like shown....where any bending of the actual wire can ruin the wire.
