    Check out the Carl Zeiss optic kit for mobile phones. Could be a $100~ solution til you get a DSLR. And check out the Sony Alpha (α) series. The α5100 is good, α6000 is perfect, and if you're considering the α6300, you might as well go full frame and get an A7 lol. And btw - Adobe Lightroom...

    @Jvincent516 very nice work. Double bonded. .03Ω pre-fire. .05/.06 post-fire. Been doing a little more post work in Adobe Lightroom & it's paying off

    For me it's more about time it takes in post with pics. I have a new build in my goon & it's nothing special but I have a ton of editing to do because of my current lighting situations. This whole macro thing takes some time & there's definitely a learning curve that comes along with it. Gotta...

    Really guys? Nobody's building anything new? More laziness in the Kennedy 24. Focus stacked. I'm getting better at this, a steady tripod really helps a ton. Also a little something I'm trying to figure out how to fit into my goon. No way it'll fit as a regular coil, it wraps up too chubky...

    All good, I just hate it when people nit pick on terminology when it comes to coils. I mean, one time someone tried telling me I cannot use the term "Claptons," because it's named after Eric Clapton. Yeah I get its named after a guitar string wrap which led to the name Clapton but what do you...

    Lmao. I like to push my limits occasionally. I don't build like that very often & that pic has a ton of ghosting from an unsteady tripod & focus stacking. But every now and again I'll build something that's absurd. It de-stresses me from my work & life when I have to focus on wires so thin.

    Thanks. I don't understand why people assume sleepers are parallel all the time. But i guess I know nothing about making coils or terminology.

    Naw, have a half double in my Petri v2. It's .07 but since it's more flat than dense it lights up super quick. It's 28g/8ply .3x.1mm with 36g staggers & a 40g fuse.

    Okay. Since you know more about coils & builds than me, what exactly is a sleeper and how is this not one? @billfirth3 yeah the subzero 24 is actually pretty great, especially in hybrid mode on the subzero mod. Post holes aren't that hard to fit coils into, they're 2.5mm~? Plenty of room. But...

    VAMP (guys who make the Rig mod) made "The Pig Rig" or whatever it's called. Pretty sure it's that, which is their series box. Tons of pics of it up on Instagram @Donnie Alexander - I have it on there because of the build I have in it. It's a .46 or .56 sleeper alien thing.

    Ah one low end series mod is enough for me (noisy cricket). I've been on a parallel box kick lately, just picked up a Silverwolf Customs Hollow Point on sale for $99 instead of $199. Is the MCM mod a series box? Edit: don't laugh at the $85 Subzero 24 Atty on the $19.99 noisy cricket lol...I...

    I can't post a pic of mine until I actually get it, I was lucky enough to actually get in on the 88 that were made...I think mine ships out this week sometime. But for now, a photo from vapehooligans on Instagram. Stab wood Dos Equis v2 :)

    It's the Subzero 24. I've been using it on my noisy cricket and it looks kinda ridiculous. The build ohm'd out around .4-.55~ I forget, but it's working great in series.

    More wraps lower ohm's?

    I'm clearly not worthy.... :/

    Yea actually, put some cotton underneath the wire running thru the posts. There's a cut out between the raised airholes for juice/cotton to sit in the little juice well it has.

    How long did it take me to line them up? Forever. I did the half staggers separately then I didn't trust the drill all too much so I ended up just putting them in the chuck and spinning it at the slowest possible speed it could go to get the overall fuse. And nocrop on my iPhone works pretty...

    I've been fighting for NJ. I was at the CASAA rally last Monday. Good turnout and good people there.

    Perhaps a silly question?

    You could always use the RBA coil head and build your own coils and the like if you don't like the smok brand disposable coil heads. It'd save you money in the long run & gives you more possibilities on what kind of coils you can use & a wider ohm range.

    Glad I could inspire ya! I need to inspire myself truth be told, I mean one can only build so many framed staple aliens and 3 core aliens and the like of basic ish coils. My creativity needs to start flowing again & that double half stagger fuse was definitely one of the most tedious builds I've...
