Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

I love your builds Tom, and the picturs are amazingly clear....I still have so much to learn on building...

You and me both brother. I'm trying 36g over fraliens now.
I practiced 36g alien over 24g for a while...thought I had it. Failed.
Now I'm relearning alien with 36g.
I think I was too close to the core at 3" and stretching the decore too much.

Next time I just barely stretched it and held it 6" from the core. Ran wide open and covered 6" before I ran out.
I've used alot of 36 today...hopefully I'll have it in a hundred feet or so.

Some 12 ply I did last night. 26g frames, 38 wrap.



A single I'm vaping now.
10ply iirc. Forgot to brush it's teeth so no colors.

Try to squeeze this in the mage but seems unlikely that it will work. its a tight squeeze!

4 core stagger? What ever it is, it looks great. I like wide, flat wires.

 

[badinfluence357]

Yeah its a 4x28g core 34/36g staggered

I posted my last coils in the wrong thread. Woops.
6ply fralien.

 

[badinfluence357]

That looks clean awesome work...

 

[whiteowl84]

Thanks!
I put alot of effort into making the 2 5" pieces I used.
I took my time coiling, installing, straightening, bathing and pulsing (for color). I'm glad it was noticed.

I'd like to see the way how to build that amazing things...it looks incredible for me!

I'll make a picture tutorial next time.
I'm not the best builder so I like to think I'm doing this in the easiest way possible.

@Joergl100
I put the tutorial in the coil porn thread.

The New Official Post Your Coil Porn Thread

I just didn't feel like it belonged here.

The resulting coil does though.

8ply 0.4mm staple, 36g wrap. 3mm on the Griffin 25. My first successful staple with no frames. Very hard to coil but it's worth it.
I'm not using any more power than with my go-to build for the Griffin (22/34 or 36) but it's better in every aspect...even ramp up.



You can really see how the juice wicks through everything.

Nice job Mr.Owl, what wick is that you're using?

 

[whiteowl84]

Kotex U. =)
Better Rayon than Cellucotton.

If anyone wants to try rayon for the first time, I'd recommend Cellucotton though. It's got a taste that's very hard to get rid of and it's harder to work with. It has finer strands though and I've run out of Cellucotton.

Thank you! I still have a lot to learn too. Particularly in staggering. Its my least favorite thing to do but they vape so damn well.

(Ugly stagger)

(Beautiful complex stagger)
I won't compliment myself much on builds, I'm a really harsh self critic but I need to be if I want more consistent & clean results.

Agreed. Staggering is terrible.
I got a taste last night. I'm definitely getting better. Finding your own way to get perfect spaces is aggravating.

Keep practicing. It's hard, but it'd worth very worth it. How are the 36g aliens coming along?

Yes staggers at times can be frustrating as hell, I'm trying to put a build together at the mo but I don't seem to have that magic working with me atm it feels like I'm throwing more wire at the bin than with any other build I've done.
I think it might be that I'm not doing builds as often now because I don't remember the following builds being this much hard work.

39g Framed staple

 

[Lactone]

This is my current favorite build , sitting on my Geekvape Avocado RDTA, my go to atty.

Staged heating single coil parallel claptons. 2x 26g KA1 fused with 38g KA1, paralleled with 1x 26g Ni80 claptoned with 38g KA1. 5 wraps around a 2.5mm bit, ohms out at 0.33.

@Tom Forde

The 36g aliens are better. I'm still not putting them on staples but I can usually get a working coil when I sit down and mess with it.

Just a staple.
