    Seems like everyone's throwing fat things into their Petri's. I threw in a frample, 28g frames, 10x .3 cores, wrapped in 40. Also made this, just need to ultrasonic it. Went up to 2000 grit from 600, skipped 1k & 1500 bc I don't have them.

    Look at these Clapton coils. Stay reddish/orange after dry fire. See pics*

    This is why I build my own coils...I've never seen anything like that happen with kanthal. I mean even after weeks of use, nothing that rusty. My advice would be to just buy some spools of kanthal or whatever kind of wire you want and spin your own Claptons. Way cheaper in the long run to buy...

    My .5 has some kinks in it but it's perfectly usable. The ribbon I've gotten from KP (.3) is perfectly flat in every aspect & on a large spool (preference). LV is a PITA with their .4, some spools come flat, but others come with a twist.

    I want that 9x3, but for $57/100'....hell no. I can justify some of the 30' rolls of 3x3 & 4x4 but not the 100' rolls. the price jump from the 2x2 at $13.50 to 3x3 at like $27 is just stupid expensive. And their ribbon pricing too...up a few bucks for each .1mm, I want some of their .6x.1mm but...

    Do it up! Today I bring some uninstalled yet coil pron. 26g frames, 6ply .5x.1mm, 32g/.2x.2mm sq interlockings It ain't easy to get this sq interlock consistent, I had enough for one coil & the rest was all wonky. So I made enough for another coil & no more since 2x2 square is dumb expensive on KP.

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    If you got it from Kennedy directly, contact them and send them the pictures. Those should go up under their blemished category. In experience with dealing with them, their CS is top notch and they'll send you back a new cap & mod. However if you purchased from a different site, I wouldn't know...

    Try a standard 3 loop to get it down right to start. 3 loop, meaning 6 strand. Also kind of a random question with no bad intentions, why do you twist everything? I'm just curious. I've got some pics I really want to post, but can't lol. So here's one I can. It's only some test run wireporn...

    Everybody mounts their coils differently & for different decks. Normally I like to have my high lead on the side post, but with my Kennedy 24's I install them with the low lead on the side posts and the high leads going into the center post. For centered builds I also go under 90% of the time...

    Just wait until you get into 30g framed staples & the like haha. I'm working on something right now, but I have no clue when I'll actually finish it. It involves ribbon & squares and high gauge. However, for now I give you this:

    Yosh owns Vapergate who makes the Alliance & Mason atties along with a bangin line of juice, including my favorite Crystal Smurf Edit @CrazyChef - what kind of camera do you to take your coil pics? I'm thinking about getting the Sony Alpha a6000, as recommend to me by @Retro138 & @off_world on...

    Please help !!

    Lmao good one @AnonymousVaper ... I think household wire works great. Specially quality speaker wire. The thick XLR cables are the best, just strip one open and use some of the small copper wires to make your wraps. It's never let me down! Staff Edit just because... : This is sarcasm !

    True Hybrid

    I've never had to remove my posi contact as of yet & I've had the mod since early January. I've cleaned the clutch plate & copper threading around the switch but have never needed to remove anything. Trust me when I say this mod is solid. It won't falter easily, and I haven't heard of any...

    Working wicks, working wires! Frample alien: 30g frames, 6x .3x.1mm, 36g alien wrap para to 22g all N80. Monster with flavor and vapor production. Prolly my favorite build as of right now. The 30g looks so tiny next to the 22g lmao.

    Macro on the final colors & a glimpse at the cores: the 6x .3x.1mm ribbon cores are taller than the 30g frames :eek:
