    True Hybrid

    Compare to a K24, the draw is more airy however you can close off the airflow. And you also have the option for single coil. My biggest con with it is the size of the juicewell (pretty small), but compared to a K24, they both vape great & have their certain differences that give them both a...

    As long as it works for ya, that's great man. I've never used a Clapton guide thing ever, just swivels to keep everything nice n straight. Check this build out, honestly it was a left over end of a 26/36g alien & I was practicing macro focusing techniques so ignore the mistakes lol. The shot...

    I've been wondering, why use Ni200 as a wrap instead of N80? The ohms are significantly lower, but the wire is softer...

    Need Help With Alien Clapton Coils

    Not necessary. A micro chuck maybe (cheap investment, works great with wires), but you don't necessarily need a 4pc chuck. Been using 3 for all of my aliens and they come out like

    More wraps lower ohm's?

    That's what we do in the building section. Well. I actually forgot to tell the OP that 18g Ni200 is the best to build with. It heats up super fast for such a thick wire & has a decent resistance. Just make sure to go 24 wraps on a 3.5mm or 20 wraps on a 4.0mm ID :D

    Thanks bro, I actually used a Nikon coolpix L820 point and shoot for that lmao. I'm still learning the a6000, there's so much to learn and so little time I feel. I haven't even put the 30mm macro lens on the camera body yet. I'm learning more about aperture, f/ numbers, how to play with depth of...

    Need Help With Alien Clapton Coils

    It's a process of learning, took me a lot of wasted feet of thin 32-36g wire to learn how to properly wrap an alien but I have a method that works 100% of the time. Basically, tape up the cores about a quarter inch up the chuck end. Make sure they're nice and snug together in the tape. Then bend...

    More wraps lower ohm's?

    If it's the same size ID & same material and gauge wire, more wraps = higher resistance.

    Some basic ish for my TM atty. .08 5 wrap 3 core 26/36 duals. I just picked up a Sony α Alpha 6000. I'm learning the camera but I'm still going to be making some crazy builds (that are vapable). Im not gonna slack on the builds and only focus on back drops like a couple people I know.

    Take some more shots of when you're coloring before you settle at blue. Builds look great though! And yes @RedheadedBStarD is right on the reef coil, it's much more twisted than Tsuka's. The final pattern before you coil up a reef coil should look like the ribbon is spiriling around the cores...

    Boneless alien, 26g single core with a 32g wrap (originally wrapped around a 3 core). 5 wraps on a 2.7mm screwdriver. All N80. Anybody wanna take a shot at guessing the ohms? If I told you already please don't guess lol.

    So the FDA may want to ruin everything for us (exaggeration I know, but it's still gonna be pretty bad), but I will be damned if I let them stop me from doing what I enjoy in making awesome coils & new concepts. Sorry for the lack of build pics lately, I've been busy with work and a few other...

    FDA deeming rule could happen tomorrow

    It was chosen because nothing really significant e.g., mods, atties, etc were on the market. Cigalikes themselves were barely on the market at that date. It's so they can backtrack and reg/deem every major advancement in vaping tech.

    I can't wait to see pics of the install on the Aeolus lite. Try getting some pre-fire pics & color them! I wonder what the three of these would have cost on some of those websites that sell coils...

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    This is truth^ on the drip tips. The tip that came with my super slam cap is significantly shorter going into the cap than the tip on my standard dragon cap.

    RDA Twisted messes

    Do you own a drill you'd be willing to use to spin coils & thinner gauge wires (32g&up)? You could make a 24/32g clapton or something like that. Pretty easy to make & while it'll give you a slower ramp time, you'll get more flavor.

    RDA Rda with big post holes

    Goon. No need to worry about post holes. Or the new atty by Cthulhu mods if you don't wanna spend $60~. It's called the Shuriken. Same clamp principle as the goon, just put together differently & 22mm. Also around $35 I believe. It looks like a phenotype with a clamped deck. Or you could just...
