Well had my first go at the helix staple Haven't got anything to mount them in yet
still should come out around 0.15ohm...7wraps, 3mm diameter when my new RDA gets here2 frames of twisted 28g KA1
6 x 0.4 x 0.1 KA1 ribbon
Wrapped with 38g NI80
My phone can't pick out the individual ribbons properly can just see it top left of the pic how they have stacked really pleased with these
Need to get myself one of those head magnifier things wrapping these by eye alone after half way I was going cross eyed lol hence spacing isn't spot on

Thanks matey
getting the hang of working with ribbon now highly recommend getting a glue gun just holds everything in place whilst your working on it ....these were a bit of a pig to do the frames kept trying to twist out from the ribbon ...had to place a few spacers on the 13 inches or so I made to keep it all in check while I was hand winding ...even with those spacers they kept twisting round figured out I can't pull on it to hard when wrappingMy very first dual coil build. What do you think? Its so much easier on YouTube.

Don't get a gun, just the sticks. The gun puts out 20x more than you'd ever need.

GJ mate neat mounting and coiling...pain having to move the leg over isn't it
....next one to try is the clapton
if it ohms out at 0.5 these will be tasty about 38-45 watts

Ahh ok do you heat them with a lighter or something then dab them on?
Yea i agree about the hot glue. I just take a lighter and heat up the end, dab it on the wire, then reheat it so the glue really gets around the wire good. Probably the best trick out there!Thanks matey
Wow nice work man! They really don't look as if they where your first try, especially the coiling went out perfect.Well had my first go at the helix staple Haven't got anything to mount them in yet

What really helps with hand wrapping are nylon pliers or taped toothless pliers, just place them as near as possible at the point where you wrap and you can pull a bit more to get it more tightened. You should also pinch every wrap to get it more in place. With this method I have no problems with the ribbon getting out of stack all way down.
Maybe you could also use twisted 32GA if you want less wraps and higher resistance.
Tell me how you like them when you have mounted them

Good tip haven't got any 32 I do have 30 though just placed a bulk order to fill out some of the gauges I'm missing except 32!.... believe it or not I don't even have 36g at the moment .
Will let you know how they vape although need to find something they'll fit in first lol they are 14ml wide!
Also tried a spaced fused clapton damn... I failed miserably I could not for the life of me get the button trick to work.....then I tried just leading it by hand...finally hanging something ...the lead and wrap wire was too fine for me (was trying to use 38g as wrap and space wire is this right?) Need to nail this type of build before I attempt a staggerton
..anyway this is my sorry ass attempt funny isn't it I can knock out one of those ribbon builds alright but can't manage a spaced fused clapton ...mind you been messing about with builds most of the day pretty tired by this point

just want to update/clear up a post i made a while ago regarding usaohmmeter not shipping internationally. i tried to order a spin lt when they first came out and there was no option to ship to canada. i recently mentioned that here, and @scarecrowjenkins and @PhantomOp both kindly offered to help me out (thanks again guys 
). in the process of setting that up with scarecrow i re-read the shipping policy on the usaohmmeter site, which sates 'we now offer international shipping'. i finally got around to placing the order today and it worked. hopefully i didnt turn away any potential international customers with my previous post...

Here I was just doing my thang, prepping some wire to make aliens. For some dumb reason I thought it would be a great idea to roll the streched wire onto an empty spool and run the aliens like I would a clapton by holding the spool....never....again. A quarter of the way through, the wire got caught up on itself and I spent the better part of 30 mins trying to untangle it. Every spot in the wire that was caught up shows in the build. I think I'll stick to stringing the wire around my body where its far away from itself! The build is fugly, but it still vapes like a champ. Im not ashamed to show em, but I'm not proud of em either. These wont get the little sign man seal of approval graphic lol. Next set will be boss

stitched alien framed staples in one of the postless decks for the combo tank. 6x.3 ka1/2x 30 ka1/38 n80/42 n80 .17 ohms
there was a bit of a problem with the two wrap wires getting kind of twisted up. wraps would slowly start to get a bit janky and i had to stop and gently slide my hand down the length of decore and smooth out the twists. next time i will try to remember to do that when i stop to move my slider and hopefully it will go smoother.

Awesome machine great looking coils right there
thanks man
i have been meaning to do a pair for a while, and i had time to do whatever i wanted tonight so i went for it. i made them for my old cuboid, which can barely give 4v to anything below .2ohms. they are a little hotter than regular alien wraps, so i can run them at 80-90w/3.7-3.9v and hopefully get a full tank on a full set of batteries.
@Dustyjeans
ohm's out at about .14 and I'd spitting like mad
Every time I use twisted coils they spit, pop and crackle like crazy. The bigger the twist the more violent it is!Twisted 24g kanthal A1 4 wrapsohm's out at about .14 and I'd spitting like mad

I haven't tried the button trick with 38g, but with 36g Ni80 and wrapping it around 26g Kanthal there's just nothing to it, at least that's what I found. Did you attach the top part of the little piece of wire on the swivel side of your lead so that only the bottom part of it is attached on the drill side of your lead?

really apreciate that. but to be honest the wraps are Not perfect or really Instagram worthy, but These are supposed to be work machines and Not to show. Their only damn Job is to heat my juice i experienced that a good Pair may Last months when you treat and clean them right. I was really surpised that These coils with corrugated ribbon Stay clean for a very Long Time and even After a week without dryburning they taste like the very first day.
By the way... i only use the Button trick for staggering and i Drill wrap my helix.
When you use a short piece of the wrap wire to tie the button down to your core wire, do you tie it down like shown in the video, i.e., on the drill side of your lead ( =wrap wire that you are claptoning around your core)? If yes, try doing it like I explained several pages ago, i.e. by placing the topmost part of this little piece of wire (the part of it that goes on top of your core wire) on the swivel side of your lead as opposed to placing it on the drill side of that.
EDIT - Oh and don't forget, to keep the button from hopping around you should attach some weight to the ends of the little piece of wire (I use my Coil Master wire cutter for a weight). Also, I find that letting the spool of the lead wire dangle underneath the front edge of table is what works best because then the lead stays snug (but doesn't get pulled overly tight) and vertical (if you help it stay vertical using your finger at the front edge of the table). Another way to do it, and that doesn't require a button, is this:

Ahh ok get what you mean think I did it drill side I'll give it a go as you mentioned ...I had a hard time tying the button down was trying to use 38g 316L at the time was springy as hell just wouldnt bend easily I'll try using NI80 instead as well
gonna give them another go later ...just got to take the littlen out on an Easter egg hunt this morning/afternoon before I have some free time ....let you know how I get on

Yeah I watched this vid I can't use that spool technique as mine aren't perfectly round for some reason the crazy wire Company spools have a large notch in them so the coil master bits get trapped and it fails miserably
Could try sanding them down but then spool will have funny shape ?

Yeah, all of my Nichrome (excepting my 28g, which is from UD) is from Crazywire too, and so is my .5x.1 Kanthal ribbon. I kept thinking the reason it's called Crazywire is because it's always driving people crazy.
I can appreciate that.Thanks Mates

Well my 3rd attempt at the staggered fused clapton thanks for the button update @Carambrda worked a treat this time I ended up using a wooden clothes peg to push the button close to the wire, which both held the wire in place without having to sod about tying it on, and acted as a weight as well hehe ...These are spot on couldn't see any defects managed to make enough for 3 coils I'm bloody ecstatic!
Used 2x28g cores 316L, spaced wraps 38g 316L
Final fused wrap 38g 316L
Used a 2.5mm diameter and 7 wraps...These should ohm out about 0.37 each gonna put them into the pindad and white bone mini I think

Wow Great work man! They Look perfect you got the spacing 100%

Youll get used to it. When i started using a corded drill for long run claptons and staggering claptons i was happy with how fast i could pop out the simple builds. I still use the cordless for the complex builds of course.

New Bench! Along with new photoshoot stuff and chair! Took a while to clean the office all out for all the stuff and put it all together but now instead of having a 2ft x 4ft shelf to work in I have a 6.5ft workbench with velour laid drawers and a wise at the end. I think Im going to bolt down my swivels to the vise jaw so I can increase my wire length room by a foot if I wanted to (for wholesale activities)
I want to take off the photoshoot stuff and make its own bench on the back wall to free up the bench more but for now this is great....everything in one spot and plenty of room for both.
Some new stuff...
Quad Interlock Aliens...Ive only seen 3 other people make these and let me tell you, they are a nightmare, even with the tricks I used to pull it off.
