    You actually don't need a second spool to make an interlock. What I'll do with gauges 38-42 for interlocks is space the beginning of the decore just enough to start fitting a second wire in & go half way up the wire I'm using for the decored alien. I'll cut it at half length, loosen it up a bit...

    Looks great bro! Practice does make perfect. Some types of aliens I like to go full blast the entire length of the wrap, but some I go slower & some I go in bursts because the wires keep tangling on itself behind my hand. Glad you got the 36g down though. Now it's time for 38g interlocking :)...

    @whiteowl84 nice tutorial on stacking ribbon bro. The one thing I do differently is I use a little bit of high gauge garbage wire to keep it bound together at the top. Trip interlock over 8ply .3/46g/2ply .3/28g frames. 2 strands SS, 1 strand N80 on the interlock. Enigmas. Idk if I posted...

    Sorry I've been MIA the past few days. New phone & a ton of work to be done by a deadline. I do have some pics to post which I'll probably do in the coilporn thread.

    I ain't judging you, I personally prefer authentics. You make box mods? Message me I want to know more. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    I don't endorse Kennedy clones. But it's your money so you can do what you want with it. The subzero is like $20 less than a Kennedy at $65 for the 22mm and $70-85 for the 24mm. But I'm not here to try to convince you to buy one. In my opinion their simplicity is what makes them the best...

    RDA Kennedy price drop?

    Speaking from experience with Kennedy products (2x 3 post k24's, 2x 2 post k24's, 2x k25's), I can only say great things about them. The atties are one of the best quality on the market. Never had a problem with leaking except for one time I just overfilled it without paying attention. It's...

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    I've done that too. I didn't strip my post threading, more like the screws carved into the lower part of the posts near the hole. I've built my k24's and 25's a lot and haven't stripped anything but I have cut into the copper by tightening the screws down on to the leads really tight. In other...

    Keep practicing. It's hard, but it'd worth very worth it. How are the 36g aliens coming along? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Thank you! I still have a lot to learn too. Particularly in staggering. Its my least favorite thing to do but they vape so damn well. (Ugly stagger) (Beautiful complex stagger) I won't compliment myself much on builds, I'm a really harsh self critic but I need to be if I want more consistent...

    I understretch and let it expand from the tension holding it between my thumb and index finger as well, but I hold the wrap anywhere from 8"-18" away from the cores. Whiteowl you're over thinking this. Try a different type of coil (e.g., Staggerfuse) and give it a few days before you go back to...

    DNA 200 chip can be set to fire at .01 at 5% ohm lock accuracy (for TC). But it will fire down to .01 in power mode as well. I'd go with a dual or triple 18650 mod that'll hopefully last longer than a LiPo box. I'm not sure about the DNA75 chip & what it can/can't do, but Lost Vape has been...

    I find that when I color SS on a reg'd mod it doesn't come out as well as I want it to. Longer pulses at lower wattage. With a mech its much quicker with whatever the battery voltage is and voltage drop being stronger than 60w on a reg'd mod most likely. I don't exactly know how to explain it...

    I like 3 post but not the center post block style with 2 holes. On the coloring note, for everything 42g & under I use an electric toothbrush to wash and then to color I pulse on a tube mech. Quick taps to see the colors start to come in. Don't worry about wattage or voltage, just short pulses...

    @whiteowl84 it's all SS except the ribbon. Ribbon is N80. The SS doesn't even have to glow to start coloring so by the time the N80 is blue the stainless has gone thru its color progression back to silver when the N80 is beginning to color. Like in that shot I'm focusing on coloring the nich...

    I don't stretch my decore that much, maybe an 18" decore I stretch to arms length (for me is about 76" - I have lanky arms for someone who's 5'8" lol) and let the decore wrap itself with tension. If you're looking for flaws you won't find any on that build :) Do you even color bro? Very flawed...

    I still think pics should be posted no matter the quality. I didn't always use my α6000, in fact, I started out with a $3.46 macro phone camera clip from amazon. My favorite build although I go blind doing it haha. Half double. Edit - @whiteowl84 - triple 40g interlocking: I know what you...
