    If you get the shorty switch version, the whole legendary ring & switch shouldn't be of concern. The posi contact at the bottom of the mod is held in like this: and then you have the other half of then contact, the clutch plate which is held in by the actual switch assembly. The Lengendary...

    Tape comes in handy. So does tension.

    Don't be angry if you fail a bunch of times at the start, I know I did haha. Probably wasted 300ft of 32-36g before I got them down right. If you need any tips on 3 core or framed ribbon feel free to ask!

    Don't use too much light. Fresh builds in direct sunlight are extremely shiny and reflective. For example: Cleaned fresh coils in the SOISZ24. Again. I think parallel coils are the way to go in this atty. 30g/6ply .3x.1mm/36g Framed staple alien para to 22g. I had to darken the image and raise...

    Yeah the cat track is going to curl no matter what when you hammer it. Any strand of wire you flatten to its maximum is going to curl up. Try making an arched Clapton with 30g, it's not quite the same process as a cat track, but they look & vape great. There's a process to pinching the wrap...

    No doubt. I see it, next coil, take a pic before ya color it. I'd say try out framing some ribbon between 28g. .3 or .4 is ideal but .5 will work. A 5 wrap on a 3mm would ohm out to around .2-.25~ single coil with 4ply ribbon.

    Negative contact on this mod is at the top. Not the bottom. And the whole bottom of the threading where the contact threads in has an insulation circle around it. You can see it in the first picture with the atty on its side.

    Mmm that's sexy. Nice black slam cap up top. Atleast with the fat dragon it looks like the slam cap. My suggestion (I would call this set up a hybrid) SOISZ24 atty & mod - I'd say with a Legendary switch even with the added height because if you go legendary, you can go shorty switch, but if...

    I have the slam cap & regular size cap. I've had the slam cap since the Kennedy 24 was released (prerelease version, only noticed it was shorter when I got my black K24) & I picked up a second Kennedy 24 when the prerelease/beta version deck's insulator blew out on me and I had to send it in to...

    Actually, 28g (.321mm) is closer to .3x.1mm & 26g (.405mm) is closer to .4x.1mm. If you use 26g frames & 4x .4mm cores, it's almost the same as a 3 core 26g in width theoretically. That is before you stretch & straighten the frames & ribbon if you must. Edit: in reference to your last build...

    Basic ish with these. They heat up quick and the vape is nice and warm & I thought I'd go back to basics. 26 3 core 34g Alien. As for the ton of baby aliens I have I'm probably going to twist a few together and see what happens

    Not yet. Thinking of using 34g as a core is borderline like what the **** am I doing now? But no doubt, I am going to try haha

    I do that with a piece of tape in the middle. Once I reach the tape I stop the wrap temporarily, pinch & slide the tape down the 3 cores towards the swivel but not completely at the end of the wire, I'll slide it down 3/4 of the way, then to the end. More boring pictures, with tiny wires that...

    Was contemplating a copper Subzero24 atty but I thought with all the heat and juice and need for maintenance I thought the black ceracoate version would suit me better. Great atty for an Legendary mod. If you have the mod, the atty is worth it for the hybrid connection alone. That and it has a...

    And I can barely coil a wrapped staple lmao. Great work slip! On my new SΩISZ24 atty. I went lazy with a wire stick I had laying around for a while, decided to put it to use. 26g frames 4x .5x.1mm cores .2x.2mm square alien wrap. This atty...the deck is huge. Perfect fit for the mod & the...

    There are 3 places I order wire from, each with a specific purpose. KP, LV, & Coil Society. KP I order square wire & 48g & up from, LV I get odd gauge kanthal & .4x.1mm/.8x.1mm ribbon, and coil society everything else. Their prices compared to KP & LV are just much better. A 1000' spool of 34g...

    That's a dope ribbon framed staggerton bro. I hope you have an atty that it'll fit haha, those wires can get real thick real fast. @EvlSmrk haven't seen you post in here before but welcome! Nice arched Claptons as well, they look great. How's the TM2 atty? And in this thread we can help you get...

    I was in the whole Goon vs SOISZ24 debate up until yesterday. I ended up ordering a black SOISZ24 based on a few reasons: 1) I have a SubZero mod and it just makes sense. 2) Been trying to figure out which to get since each was announced 3) Angry logic. I entered the Goon Buildoff on Instagram...
