It's a bit messy since it was my first time trying this build but it fired and didn't short!...after I popped a couple coils...but I still got it to work! This is the end result though and it's called the swan coil. Don't know why it's called that.

I used 24 gauge nichrome and folded a good 6 inches in half evenly. Then I took the looped side and held it on a screwdriver and with even spacing, wrapped it around 3 times. Came out to like .35 if I remember correctly.

Sorry for the double post but this is what I've been using for the past couple of days (hence why it looks nasty as s***)

It's called the slinky coil. 24 gauge nichrome again (I love that stuff) and this time I wrapped each coil like a normal 5/6 microcoil around my favorite screwdriver so that the leads are pointing in opposite directions. Once I have each coil finished, what I do is pull on each lead and stretch out the coil evenly until it is about 1" long. To install the coils, you have to insert each lead of each coil from opposite sides of the poles so that they both cross over in parallel.

Note: MAKE SURE THE COILS DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING BUT THE HOLES THEY ARE MEANT TO BE IN OR ELSE YOU WILL EITHER
A: pop a coil or both (VERY annoying)
B: blow up your battery
C:make other parts of your device fail
SO MAKE SURE YOU'RE CAREFUL.

Hey guys. Im looking to compile a list of types of builds aside from the most well know. I saw a build that looked like an S at a shop the other day. No idea whats it called but if anyone has some not so standard builds please post with links or vids if possible. Thanks
