alright, this is a work in progress thread, which aims to act as a listing for all of the 'official' threads in the building section of the forum. the 'post your builds' thread is full of good info, but its getting huge, and lots of the info and questions have been asked/answered repeatedly throughout. the idea behind the 'official' threads, is to have threads dedicated to specific topics or questions that come up a lot, so that specific info is easy to find. to keep them easy to find, they started getting 'stickied' on the top of the forum/page, but there are a lot of them (and more coming). this thread is an attempt to organize them and keep them all stickied at the top of the page a little more efficiently.
if you are interested in learning to build, or to up your building game a little, we should have most of the bases covered with the following threads on specific builds or techniques. even if you would rather buy your coils than make them, have a look around and familiarize yourself with the different terminology and details. it could save you from buying 'alien' coils that are not alien coils
here are links to all of the official build/technique threads we have so far:
these threads are about building, but not about specific coils or techniques. here we will collect threads on building related topics like coil photography, tools and batteries. some of these threads are 'essential' info for anyone starting out. steam-engine is a very important tool, not only for builders, but for anyone who uses rebuildable atomizers (pre-made coils, spools of clapton wire, wire shots etc) to be in full control of whats going on. battery safety is a topic that everyone who vapes should be an expert on as well. no matter what setup you use, knowing your batteries will allow you to get the best out of them, and be as safe as possible.
and here are the build related official threads:
we can also use this thread to discuss topics for future 'official' threads, or whether or not one is required for a certain topic. everyone is welcome to get involved. have a look through the topics already covered/linked above, and see if theres anything missing that you could start or request a thread on. i try to include a description of the technique/build/topic, then explain how to do it enough to get someone started out in trying it themselves. the main draw is the other people who come in with questions/answers/perspectives that really fill in all the details. you dont have to be a pro builder to contribute, so dont be shy if you have an idea
