haha no worries, you can do a youtube search for 'diy bobbing holder' i will post some pics to show you how it can help.

i was also mentioning syringe needle to you cus you can bend your coil legs with them to get your coils centered in the atty
nice tip! I'll try it latter!

I tried to bend them with nylon tipped pliers like squidoode does but I was afraid of stretching the outer wraps

yes sorry i ment bend the legs before you install, it is possible to do a sleeper build and bend them as your installing. Bending legs on a parallel coil and fused claps is much more possible using syringe needle, is why i said, and they are real cheap. I think its a green colored one i use :)

i don t remember if i posted a pic of these coils but its the longest ive gone on the same coils, its stapled claptons 24g and 2 strands 0.05 ribbon claptoned with either 0.1 or 0.2 n80. is an awsome vape and is very close taste wise to the reversed stapled clapton i made but not sure if it isnt as good becouse its an older coil, i will have to make new ones of both builds as soon as i get me vapecom attys in a couple of days

Idk how. Idk why. But today I did it. I was able to wrap a whole usable length of clapton and fused clapton wire just using my fingers!
Maybe it's these new rdas that inspired me!

Thanks. I just found the groove and fought the immense cramp forming in both my hands for about 5 minutes and wala

I didn't think my fused claptons would end up so low resistance (0.2 on my ohm meter, 0.1 on my sigelei 150w) I used 26g N80 for the core. Was shooting for around 0.25 or so since I'm using on a regulated mod.

Oddly enough I've still never tried a clapton lol. I'm stuck on this braided wire
Braided or twisted?

You know what's funny. I went from vaping on a fused clapton build for two days to a regular clapton build and it tasted like the flavor was so watered down. Now it may just be my build but I'm worried I got so spoiled with the flavor of a fused clapton that anything less is so lacking to me now in flavor.

The resistance doesn't seem right given your specs... My 6 wraps 3/32 26ga gives me 0.6 to 0.7 ohms.

Checked on steam engine, and it says you'll need 4 wraps each to get 0.2 to 0.3 ohms too at 3mm id

EDIT: unless you're not using kanthal..?

He said 3mm lol not 3/32

I've been having trouble finding builds (other than simple micro /macro coils that won't pop or spit back as much as claptons and twisted builds do in my twisted messes rda and El cabron rda. I really want to use the big included metal chuff caps but I find the spit back with even fused claptons can sometimes be unbearable. [emoji30]
