Wife is out of town and I really want to play around making some funky coils, but don't have a lot in the way of wire. So coil experts, what would you make with what I have? Other than your standard twisted, parallel, etc.

I had a little 26 and 32 gauge left and used it all to make this last night:

Want to keep trying some new builds!

No sorry I tend to make Low wattage boring coils
Go to youtube and look up Rip Tripper he seems to be the coil king. The one I called the skillet he calls the stove top.
If you can get past his presentation manner he is actually really good with coils.
