Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

Since it's a Clapton, it's only natural that we discover how they are made. The speed is fabulous and makes my drill and swivels look rather underpowered.

Almost straight profit from the companies making clapton coils. No reasearch or development in the manufacturing process.

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

Looks like you didn't catch any of your dangly bits in it to throw you off!

A bit of tape here a bit of tape there and voila! no more danglers!

This is a good thread. I like looking at all the cool builds I know I'll never have time to try! lol

I picked up a little bit of .5x1 kanthal ribbon yesterday. What do you guys suggest trying first to get used to working with ribbon? I have 24, 26, 28, 32, and 34 kanthal, too.

Maybe you could just twist a length of 26g or 28g with a length of ribbon to start with.

SlipperyEel speaks truth, that makes a nice coil.

Maybe I'll go give that a try. Sounds like something I could twist up rather quickly. At least compared to a staple. lol

Tiger wire is relatively easy, Squidood has a nice tutorial on Art of Vaping for it.

And yes, tons easier than a staple.

Correction, it might have been TwistedMesses -

This is why i always build in the nude, me myself and my Doc goggles

Looks good for first time bro. Quick tip, don't stretch it so much and next time not only will it come out tighter but also has a pointier mohawk tip. Like this....

First time I tried one of these, not decided as to wether to mount her as is or add a parallel or two... View attachment 591537 View attachment 591539

Twisted did a stapled tiger coil tutorial. But you have to staple the ribbon first. great little flavor coil btw

As usual the only editing is cropping.

Good job bro

Good job bro

Agreed. Looks like it needs to be wicked from the outside. Lol.

Playing with a new concept tonight. The Reaper coil.

It's not perfect cause I'm still working out the math on this one. If it vapes good I'll redo it with different cores

FDA NEWS:
Man go's crazy after building coils. Man claims was abducted by alien-coils & his mod told him to do it!
"WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE"
Da Mad Coiler






There's nothing better than going mad in the morning with a little humor..Have a good day my friends!

Nice coils bo. 32/28 ?

 

[Boden]

Nice coils bo. 32/28 ?

Yes

32 wrapped around 26ga, decored then fed onto two 28ga core wires. No reversing the wrap and no stretching out the de-cored Clapton.

Calling it a "Spaced Alien"

Have more 36ga coming, want to try a 30/36 spaced alien.

 

[badinfluence357]

No reversing no stretchy, so it necessary? Yours look the same just a lower gauge....

Necessary to make Alien, this not alien so not necessary.

Why I speak silly... Know not.

 

[badinfluence357]

Sorry it's my phone, it automatically inserts words when I hit space by accident or just spaces. My screen is cracked and I've been to lazy to send it back..
sometimes I just hit send with out realizing what's it has substituted or inserted....

what I ment was is it necessary to stretch and reverse the wire for an alien? Your wire looks like an alien coil to me.
You just used two wider cores instead of the 3 same size cores used for the Clapton....
Most aliens I've seen have a little space so is it really necessary to do all the extra stuff..you just simplified it dude. Why you say it's not an alien? It has the squiggly wire like the alien coil.

 

[badinfluence357]

To be honest I was kind of curious about that. I think you might be on to something. How about just starting from the end of the decored clapton. wouldn't that be the same as reversing?
