    22g N80 works quite nicely as well.

    Always love your braids slip! I've been meaning to make a kumi braid but I left my loom in NJ and I'm in LA for the month or so. I still have my whole wire/build kit tho. So I make these saturation only +4%. Those colors are legit.

    I still have some temco spools left. A bunch of 24,26,&34g N80. Regardless of where it comes from, I always clean my coils after installing them to the deck. I get such a nice shine from them & I know they're clean. Fresh clean helps with coloring :D I don't just clean them for the coloring, I...

    Ya man. Check out @mrpatina & @killercloudkustoms on Instagram. They do patina work. Then there's @pourboycustoms who does a lot of comp caps for atties, but also does some sleeves. Then there are people who make custom sleeves for sleeve mods like the limitless & the AV able mod. On top of all...

    Overpriced? I got it new for $75. Retail on copper with the Legendary switch is like $135. Compared to AV mods & the like I'd say this is very affordable. If you want to talk about overpriced mechs talk about the AV Shock and Awe, coming in at.....wait for it......$499. And yes, there's massive...

    I lead my stitched aliens by the stitch, I don't stretch mine out super far and I cut off a stitch with a few feet of excess that gets cut off after the alien wrap has been used up. I tend to hold it as far away as possible (sometimes by the end of the alien wrap along the stitch) so the stitch...

    Perfect. That's exactly what you should see when you look into the AFC. Glad I could be of some help :). Push all the cotton to the sides of the coils so nothing is underneath. And if you bought twisted coils, first thing you should do is take the entire atty with the coils installed & clean it...

    I'm not saying all other mods become redundant but I'm saying this is the hardest hitting single battery mech on the market. It's got all silver plated contacts, and at first I was thinking "it's not direct to battery, how's the voltage drop off going to be compared to a direct to battery?" But...

    24/28g is too thick. I use 28g as cores for Claptons. Try 24/32&up.

    I meant in between the posts. It's possible but you have to use a small coil ID and only the indirect airflow

    Quick rewick in my monster v3. 36g interlocking framed staple alien, 28g frame, 4 ply .4mm ribbon. All N80. .30Ω

    I have one. It pretty much just rides the bench behind my Petri, Kennedy 24, Monster v3 (with chuff pin & District F5ve Phoolish Kupcake kit) & TM atty. I'm not much of a velocity fan. It's so much hype but there's so little room in between the posts to do a build & its just average to me.

    RDA Flavor Build Petri Dotmod?

    They're actually not so different. If you get the cloud cap for the Petri you have the same airflow. If you try making a 3 core alien, I don't know if 26g will fit, I only have a v1 Petri & I have to make 28g aliens for her. Not complaining though, she's still one of my favorite atties. 3 core...

    You're only 2 months in....let the madness begin! I wonder what your next RDA will be...Don't let the shinyitis consume you, wait, actually do let it - you'll find some amazing products out there

    I don't know if there's a size difference, but I don't have a 22. I know I can fit 28g/4ply .4x.1mm framed staple aliens with a 36g wrap in my 24's post holes comfortably. Even in the centerpost I had no issue fitting them. Edit: @dry_hit i was going thru your photobucket link and saw the pics...

    I have 2 Kennedy 24's, just started looking seriously at the subzero atty cause I got the mod and I think it would be a nice fit. I've seen the deck on it close up and what not, I know about the screws to cover the AFC, but what's the U bar for? Edit: building on the K24 is really easy for me...

    Mm you have a subzero atty? How are you liking it? I just picked up a Subzero mod so naturally, I'm interested in the atty haha @Uncletattoowhat yeah there's 3 different 528 customs tank sizes, plus chuff, plus the 2 different District F5ve caps - Phoolish Kupcake & Phoolish Summit - with their...

    I'm pretty sure my cap is just a beta release cap. But regardless, it's more like a slam cap. The clearance between the inside of the cap and the post screws is very minimal. I have a new build in my stainless which now sits on top a Sub Ohm Innovations Sub Zero mod...it's freakin huge with the...

    That's my suggestion. I got the blackout kit (not pictured) for $60 the other day. It comes with the standard pin & chuff pin as well as the normal chimney & chuff chimney & small chuff tank. I have the District F5ve Phoolish Kupcake kit for mine & love it. That pic has the medium chuff assembly...

    Put them up a little bit above the AFC, so the bottom of the coil is just above the AFC. That's probably what I would do. If you're going with the low wrap on the outside posts, it should be easy to level off. If you go with the low wraps into the centerpost block (or center post if you're using...
