This may sound odd, but do you need to stretch the wire before you wrap it?

No..

 

[untar]

Not if you're not planning on making a stapled fused alien clapton your first coil. Maybe wait a little with that

Have those doors as well as another Dotsquonk, with the Dot rda and squonk kit....
Better judgement took over and only ordered extra bottle and doors !

there are different schools of thought on that. I've never seen how the additional work is worth it but to each his or her own. YMMV

 

[untar]

Well at least they look like jewelry

Maybe there's a market for vaper jewelry? Never thought of that before, could be a market gap. Could totally see some people going crazy over that.

Or just sell coils as jewelry and get around the FDA regulations

 

[NolaMel]

This? As long as it’s not the wavy outer wrap one. Looks like a bracelet

If it’s stained glass, some jewelry or guitar strings, you stretch. That’s why I asked.

That’s a beautiful coil... does look like jewelry

 

[untar]

This?

Nah, the stapled fused alien is the first image from my last post,

That’s a beautiful coil

yep, that one.
What you posted is a staggered fused clapton with a flat core see, you're already learning our language now.

Could totally imagine exotic coil styled jewelry being a thing, rings, bracelets, ear rings, pendants etc.
No idea why nobody did it yet. Maybe I'm also too lazy to look for it on the net

Now you peaked my interest ... I want to figure out how they make the wave.

 

[untar]

how they make the wave

That's a multi step process. Let's take the easiest scenario with all same size wires (except the wrapping wire), let's say 26g.

First you make a clapton around one of the wires, that's just a tighly wrapped higher gauge around the 26g.
Then you remove the 26g core which leaves you with some flimsy spring-like outer wire.
This coiled up piece of wire is then slightly stretched.
Finally you wrap 3 parallel 26g wires with that so called "decore" but in the opposite sense that you did the clapton (so if clapton was anti-clockwise now it's clockwise and vice versa) with the right amount of tension and you get the nice wavy alien look.
That is the easy 3-to-1 version (there's multiple videos and methods on how you can do that).

You can also make wavy aliens around only 2 wires or even only 1 wire but then the gauge of the initial clapton core changes relative to your final step core(s), there's places on the net that list the relative sizes you need to do that.

Aren't y'all proud? She knows how to build a fused alien clapton even before making her first coil

Edit:
I'll throw in a short vid of sherlock hohms doing a method skipping the "stretch" step

There's a reviewer named Sherlock Ohms who sold hand wrapped "charms". Seemed to work for him.

 

[TrollDragon]

Rebuilt the Zeus and put a B2K on the Pulse BF.

Using 10 wraps of 22ga Ni80 (0.5Ω) on 3.5mm in the Zeus @ 75W and a 4 wrap parallel 24ga Ni80 (0.14Ω) in the B2K.

Isn't that the guy from the video?

Part truth and part myth.

Gotta look like this?

We already knew what your coils look like... this one needs a bit more wick and maybe a shave

I didn’t say I could do it, but for once I absolutely understand the description/method

The bigger it is, the less margin for error there is...
And errors just make for a bad time....

They used to use guitar wire for coils back in the day.
