    Makes it like a pop-top design like the old Tobh's, Tugboats, & Petri's. All polished up :) brass limitless/diamondback sleeve & brass K24. Matches quite nicely if I can say so myself. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Yes I do sell coils. It's not the reason I buy 1000' spools of high gauge though, if I were to buy smaller spools, say 250' of 36-40g, I'd be out of wire almost every other week. So for higher gauge spools, for me personally (and I emphasize that), it makes sense to buy large quantity spools of...

    Try using 40g over a staple or framed staple core. When I go above 40g & up on staple or framed staple cores, I generally hold the spool a bit looser making the wrap fall on to the cores easier. If I'm working with something like 44g or 46g, I'm barely holding tension on the spool/wrap because...

    That sucks that you missed out on the sale, the deck only option was $42 so I guess it was a 30% sale, not 25% as I mentioned. The site said 25% but after putting the code in total was $42. I should have bought a few more at that price. Total was $48.10 shipped. If there's one thing Kennedy...

    As for Kennedy accessories, check out District F5ve's Grizzly Sleeve & Chubby caps. They make metal chubbies now, I've been using the burnt titanium kupcake/summit on my K24 lately. But you can get SS, Copper, or Brass for the sleeve & all those options plus Burnt Ti for the chubby cap. I HIGHLY...

    Haha Slip, don't worry I don't squirm easy. I think most of the people on this forum can attest to my building knowledge & ability. But yeah .3 is the hardest ribbon to start out with. If it's N80 or SS it's gonna be super flimsy. It won't want to listen to you that much. .4x.1mm is cake...

    .3 is the hardest kinda ribbon to even start out with. I hope it's atleast Ka1. Kanthal is stiffer than n80&316L so it's a bit easier to work. What exactly are you trying to make?

    Eh mohawk aliens (Prometheus aliens, as I've referred to them months ago) are a thing. Same with enigmas. But still, usually a "mohawk,"/Prometheus alien has more going on than just a standard wrap. And yeah, I haven't posted here in a while. Been busy. But my IG feed is still there. I saw his...

    Slip you know me all too well haha. Half double I shot a little too dark. 27g/36gSS stagger frames, 4x .4n80r skip staggered to one of the frames with 40g, sandwiched together with 40gn80 to make it whole. Messy (mostly) groove fuse. Specs forgotten. I just know the center staple wrap is...

    I kinda wanted him out of the thread. Response to my build just irked me the wrong way. I don't like trolls. And yes lets dissect the term "fralien," FrAlien Fr - Framed Staple Alien - Self explanatory. I don't think he understands the interlocking wrap is not staggered. But anyway! Another...

    Please elaborate on what you are actually talking about. I clearly do not understand what a "Stalien" is. And please elaborate on why you mad bro. Learn to internet properly. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    I wasn't trying to stagger fuse an alien? Fralien is just short for framed staple alien. "Fra" from fraple "lien" from alien. I didn't really feel like typing framed staple alien or fraple alien. Fralien is an easier term. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here or do a staggered alien, just...

    Quick lazy Kennedy 25 build. Tried something new, didn't quite get the stretch right to accommodate the (very little) extra width from the inner 6x .3 staple. Specs: Interlocking fralien 38gN80/38gSS 28gSS frames 6x .3/46gN80 staple 4x .3 framing it split 2 on each side. Great vape Sent...

    Make one of what? Steve Kennedy actually reposted my stagger fuse on instagram.... I'm still in kind of a state of shock about it. I really haven't seen him repost anything build related by many people if any at all. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Staggered: What makes a staggered a staggered are the spaced claptons fused together. So basically this pic has 36g staggers (the spaced claptons on the frames) & a 38g fuse holding everything together. This is an SSFC. Staple Stagger Fused Clapton: Fraple: short for framed staple. Different...

    Everybody loves microclap'd aliens apparently. So here's an old old build of mine. One side is fused 36/40 over a fraple core, the other side is .2x.2mm square/40 over the same cores. This kind of coil is fairly easy to make, they just look good. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
