    So for the 10ply .4x.1mm 28g/40g framples I was about to make a 36g FSA, but I didn't like the way it was coming out, so I turned them into normal framples. (Yes I plan on taking 2 wraps off the big one, the spacing on it went all screwy on the wrap but the second one I had one mistake on the...

    Words cannot explain. They just can't explain. Nothing about it is basic. A basic blue raspberry can't compare. It's one of the few flavors I buy because I cannot recreate it. And while Smurfette may gunk up your coils quickly, the non-blue Crystal Smurf doesn't. I think they added an extra...

    RDA Sapor RDA by Wotofo

    Eh it's not that. It's that when the center pin doesn't prodtrude, it pushes the center post T block up. I've tried getting that post out and never had any luck. It's just a bad design. Like I've used it not only on direct to battery mechs, but parallel mech boxes & regulated mod's as well...

    Here's 120ml of pure crack. And I have two of them :D I can't get enough of that Crystal Smurf!

    What sizes are the ribbon spools? You could do a 6-8ply staple wrapped up in 32g. As for kanthal vs N80, I prefer N80 because it's softer, has a quicker ramp up time & is easier to manipulate. It has a lower resistance per gauge as well vs kanthal. There's also N60, which is 60% nickel & N90...

    RDA Favorite top airflow RDA?

    I have a vector on the way actually. Only other top air atty I've used was the Sapor and that thing is just garbage. Does anyone have a link to where I can get a JayBo comp cap for the Vector? I don't want to buy a Wismec Indestructable solely for the top cap.

    How much are you stretching out the wrap to begin with? Can you take a picture? Whenever I wrap mine, I have tension on the cores so that they all pull towards me but as one piece of wire, not 3 individual pieces. You really need to have them all the same tension going into a swivel. But if...

    Don't give up. It literally took me months to get the interlocking alien down. Went thru a few spools just on that wrap alone. Try taping the 3 cores together at a point close to the swivel. Make sure the cores are perfectly parallel though, and start the wrap by spinning the chuck by hand and...

    I have the standard pin, 3.2mm, not the chuff pin (yet). I like it a lot on my limitless mod, it's a semi-restrictive hit, but it's very smooth. In other news, I finally conquered one of the wraps that's been killing me for months now. Interlocking FSA. 36g interlocking alien 28g frames 4ply...

    He is. Most definitely. Actually I got my IG name from a song title - Benga's Off His Head, old school UK dub.

    I'll probably get a new style Indestructable down the line so I can use the comp cap it comes with on the vector. But no rush. 22g N80 horizontal build in the monster v3, standard pin, chuff kit. Now I need to get myself a chuff kit, gah, too much money getting spent. Trying not to be too...

    RDA DotMod - Petri RDA v1.5 - BIG Issues!!!

    If trapping the wires is giving you a problem (which it shouldn't), try bending the leads inwards after inserting the coil. When I build on my Petri, I get one coil set, fasten down the screws, then remove it to do the second coil. After I have both coils leads clipped properly and all I'll put...

    And my post Xmas spending spree continues. Just ordered a vector from viper-vape for $19.99. Too cheap to pass up for an authentic when most sites still sell them for around $50-65.

    RDA DotMod - Petri RDA v1.5 - BIG Issues!!!

    @Caterpiller if you're having issues with the v1.5's posts I'll trade you my v1 deck for your v1.5 deck. Post holes are smaller & screws trap 26g builds easily.

    Ah my bad. I'm running on only a few hours sleep & read it wrong. I thought it said "like" instead of "unlike". That's my bad

    Wicked with cotton bacon. No edits, no touch ups. Meaning no photoshop. Just n80 colors I got off my limitless mod & a vtc4 around 3.8v. 28g framples with 4ply .4x.1mm & a 38g wrap. They should have been 6 wraps but sometimes things get complicated.

    Go for 26/36g. 34g is a good starting point, but it's all a game of feel. Do the first few wraps by hand, & spin the chuck with one hand while holding the wrap with the other to see what kind of pattern you're gonna get with how stretched your wire is. If it triangles on you, you can always...

    Alright I'm determined to get the interlocking alien down today. It's been too long without being able to do it. Today's the day. It needs to be done. Other news: my Baxter & one of his Christmas presents.... Don't let his stunningly good looks fool you, he's a straight up killer. Edit: as...

    I use a lot of 28g for aliens because it raises the resistance a bit from 26g. For the wrap I use 36g & 38g mainly. I've been doing a lot of framed staple aliens lately with .4x.1mm n80 ribbon & 28g. 6 wrap 4 ply duals on a 3mm come out to .14-.15Ω. It's kind of easier than standard 3 core for...
