    By making a loop with the ribbon and putting tape/wrapping certain parts up with wire first. @Superfecta_ & @Retro138 showed me how to do it and I took some things from both of their methods. But once u get it down it's not too hard. Edit: Also, with stacking ribbon, saliva is your friend. It...

    It's time for a DNA 200. But which one..?

    They make a Boxer with a LiPo as well that's smaller than the dual 18650 version, no? I forget which one is bigger/smaller in size. I personally have a Reuleaux and am not bothered by the size/weight. It's my favorite mod. But since size matters here, the efusion DNA 200 is a large square, I...

    RDA Help chosing new RDA

    From a guy that has a Twisted Messes, Mutation X v4, & 2 Kennedy 24's, I say if you know how to build properly, stay away from the mutation. In my experience with it, it's been poop. The Kennedy 24 will run you about $110, but it's hands down the best of the three IMO. It's my favorite atty...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    What I did with my v3 was angle the coils so that they were parallel in line with 2 strips of the AFC holes and close off one set of 3 on each side. It was better than a straight build but still lacking in flavor

    I've been using the loop method too with thicker gauges (under 40 above 30), but I still want to find a way to get that kind of spacing while working with a spool without wasting a ton of wire. Loop method is great though.

    Here's some Ni200 for ya: current in my monster v3. 28g Ni200 fused Clapton with 40g. No wick because it's a chimney build.

    I usually take the pad, cut the strips to fit my coils, rip off the top and bottom layers of the cotton & roll it against my hand, cut one side at an angle so it's easier to fit through the coil and pull it through. Pretty standard I'd think. Edit: side note. Just saw this the other day on...

    So I did the whole Scottish roll wick thing and wasted a full pad of cotton, & it pretty much holds the same amount of juice as my normal wicking method. It's fluffier though I gotta give it that. These framed staple aliens really are awesome. Takes a lot of prep work but it's definitely worth...

    RDA Mother of god...

    The fatboy is mostly for those huge custom 4-8-(insane amount of batteries) cell 18650/26650 boxes. And for the lol's on a 22mm mech tube mod. It'd look great on an evo starter mod though

    And now you're surrounded by Patriots fans. The worst fans of them all. Because the Patriots never got caught cheating. Not now, not ever. In fact, they don't cheat and Rodger* Goodell didn't burn the spygate evidence.

    How many feet of claptons can u make

    28/24g Claptons are doable. It's going to make your wire density thick AF but they'll work. Bump your wattage a bit on a reg'd mod to see how hot you like it. I personally prefer high gauge Claptons, but I barely ever use single core Claptons. 24g KA1 wrapped with 40g N80 parallel to 24g N80 was...

    I still don't know why a Scottish Wick Roll is called a Scottish Wick Roll. Or whatever it's called. Or whatever it is. Edit: I have enough cotton to sacrifice a full pad to try it out though.

    Awesome. Looks very simple to make. What did you use for the background material wise? That sheet you used, that grey color. I have a couple boxes from my new studio monitors I could use to make one that would be a decent size, the boxes themselves are for a pair of Adam S4X-V's which are almost...

    Great coloring work there super! Can't really notice you changing the saturation too much, it still looks like very natural coloring. Side note, any tips on building a small light box?

    Came out very nicely. How are you liking that Aromamizer? I've been hearing too many good things about it to not look into it. 26g Ti01 & 40g N80 over 6&1/2 wraps for TC. Worked pretty well when I put the TC curve into escribe, but it was hitting at like 60-70° lower than what I had it set to...

    I can lend you my loop, it's only 10x magnification though. Are you trying to read it on your phone or computer?

    I just threw these in yesterday they came out so clean I'm kinda surprised. 28g framed staple aliens. 4 ply .4x.1mm ribbon inside. Didn't think I'd be able to fit them thru the centerpost so easily

    Welcome back @Superfecta_ ! Congrats on the building job. You should be pleased to know that because of you and Retro that I can now make FSA's pretty quickly and cleanly. I'm running a set of them in my Kennedy 24 right now. @CrazyChef thats some nice coloring you did there. Any other angles...
