He Ain't Twisted..... He's My Coil

[Tmebs]

Whip Finisher used for tying flies for fly fishing....cost 6-8 bucks...
Takes seconds with no bulky drill...
Same hand motion as scrambling an egg

Some videos I made

Both of those were great.
I think I've watched your clapton coil build before but the triple wrap was new.
Those are some nifty little jigs you've made. I'm still doing all this with fingers and a coil master kit.

Where are you guys getting your locking hemostats from? Can you just randomly buy those at a med supply store or something?

And my wife wonders why this is becoming a hobby for me.
More stuff to buy!

^^^ I borrowed (stole) from my husbands fly tying table
his whip finisher, lighted magnifying stand, a bodkin(needle in a stick) and tweezers and hemostats......I think thats it.

But I haven't stole his drill yet.

I think the hemostats were acquired about 20yrs ago from a friend who was a nurse

Dang..... Now I need to go make nurse friends so I can steal medical supplies.

Hobby shop

Edit: it's called Hobbytown.

Here's the build I used in the last Cloud Comp I won.

Triple parallel 30g, 3mmID, 8 wrap. Came out to 0.42 ohms on a series box was ~160W.

Yeah..... I just realized they are pretty readily available online as well.
I just imagined someone walking into a store somewhere asking for these like, "no big deal. I'm just taking up open heart surgery as a hobby."

So shiny!

The guys using the 22g double twisted gargoylehoof alien monkeyfist art builds could not comprehend how an old physicist using 30g donkey-stomped them.

The word physicist should have told them something.

I do it in 32g. It's a killer build and maximum vapor as well as extremely flavorful and can definitely take the power. Nice tidy coils and congrats on your win. Did you get a trophy, tee shirt or mech mod?

Interesting. I won a cloud comp last week with a build I just replaced (hence no pictures). Twisted 24g titanium grade 1, 3mm, 8/7 wrap. 0.08 ohm (lowest allowable per comp rules) on a triple parallel mech ~200W. Same atomizer . I wonder how I would fare against your 30g parallel build...

I usually end up twisting by hand. Not really by choice but i don't have a drill right now so i got some binder clips and just leave em in my building baggy (the binder clips, not the wire lol)

That's what I did, too. Take a length of wire, fold it over, grab the loose ends with your pliers, and hook the loop end into the clip on the end of a ballpoint pen (a one-piece pen is best, you don't want it flying to pieces when you put the tension on.) Then you hold the pliers in one hand, pull it taut, and use the other hand to roll the pen along your leg, twisting up the wire until it snaps. Perfect twisted wire, with no drill required.

Yep.... I use a sharpie instead of a pen as it uses less wire at the fold than the pens I find around the house and I find the sharpie is easier to work with than a smaller pen....

Build it and find out. I think you'll be suprised.
