COIL BUILD LIST/DEFINITIONS

[Sugavapes88]

Haven't had the chance to make this but it's next on my list, you take a 22g and clapton it with 32g, decore it and stretch it a little more than twice the length, then insert a 26g core thru it, cut into 3 pieces, then twist them together in the opposite direction that you claptoned

the hive coil - 2 sets of CCW twisted wires twisted together CW(or vice versa)

This pictures shows both inner and outer twists in the same direction.
Whether you regard that as CW or CCW depends on which end you look at it from.

CoilMaster describe their wires as "Hive" when the two pairs of twisted wires are twisted together the same way, not the opposite way, as well.

Those are "clockwise" twists. Doesn't matter which "end" you look from.

Here's a pic of opposing twists. I guess some people call this a "rope" or "corded" or "cable" twist. I just thought it was something neat to try:

The Striped Clapton/Tiger Clapton (havent seen it anywhere else online so i just made up the name) - 24g/30g kanthal clapton wire wrapped with .5mm nichrome90 ribbon wire like you would a tiger coil. From my experience i have gotten the nice full flavor of a true clapton wire with much better ramp up time, and quite possibly my smoothest vape yet, trying to shrink the photo below 1mb to upload

I got the photo shrunk down, here is the result (taken on my samsung galaxy s8 stock camera, no macro lens or anything like that)

Tidal wire coil: Any variation of multiple strands of wire (typically round high gauge) twisted tightly in one direction and then twisted in the opposite direction along side a strand of ribbon wire the same length as the wire from the out come of the first twisting. ( barrowed the pic from the internet for an example)
