Once you get it all to hold together effectively you can anchor the wire using swivels etc and allow the tool to do the work for you, allowing it to hang below the wire and it will pretty much wrap the wire the whole distance by itself.
@Pro_vapes had perfected it that much he was pretty much able to create spools of Clapton wire!!!
Another thing I find helpful using swivels is to use more than just one.
Sometimes you can get a snag if you only use a single swivel this gives you no fail safe.
I actually use around 10 swivels.
Mainly due to the finer gauges of wire are a lot easier to twist even using swivels so the more swivels used with the finer gauges helps to stop them twisting up as you wrap them.
Itās such good fun making these wires and builds and Iām glad you have started to create these wires yourself.
My only worry is that this week Iām ordering an IPV4/s and some 24g Ti and i pretty much know that my building days will be over if @Pro_vapes and everyone else is correct about the flavour achievable from a good TC mod.
But just to keep my building head on Iām also buying a Dimitri clone Parallel Mech Box and a load more 25Rās. Lol.
My boss buildā¦ 22g Ti Grade 1, 8 wraps on a 2.5mm coil jig @ .14 ohm. Itās crazy, but it stands up to and out perform any clapton build I ever made. Ti is simplicity magnified.
Also wanted to add:
I went to a very large sporting good store to find my fishing lure swivelā¦they had several brands to choose from and many sizes in each brandā¦there were several different quality brands to choose from and the higher quality (more expensive) brands were of obvious better quality as the swivel had a very nice barrel type swivel that spun very much more freely than the lower quality swivelsā¦I just wanted to share that in case other people had options and werenāt sure which to getā¦
Definitely go with the higher quality! Itās worth the extra $4-6 dollars!
AND:
I know what you mean about the SS and Ti coils out performing the claptons and other various builds and that the desire to create these magnificent builds may waneā¦but! Alas. I have just begun! I still very much want to create with my hands and funny you should say you ordered a parallel mech modā¦so did i, just 2 days agoā¦I ordered a cherry bomber v2 mech modā¦2 x 18650 and a switch to go from series to parallelā¦
Rock on, brother!
Well, I will heed your warning on the cherry bomber, I plan on leaving it at home and using it for building and drippingā¦
And I am with you on the buildingā¦I completely and thoroughly enjoy the build and will continue to do so!
As for the swivels: take your ass down to a large sporting good store and go straight for the fishing department. ā¦locate the swivels and immediately set your eyes on the nice swivelsā¦find a helper if need beā¦they spin so much more freelyā¦
Gotta question: in spinning claptons, is it definitely worth my time to choose and make and use one of the methods out there to simplify the process? For example, Pro_Vapes clapton tool?
If you can get the tool to do the work for you during wrapping so that you donāt have to hold it in place then this would help you to not have to squint to see where you are wrapping.
If you have some pippettes lying around itās worthwhile trying to knock one up just to see.
Takes about 10 mins.
I used to use one but since doing the 90 angle wrapping I donāt bother any more.
Wrapping fused claptons on the videos on the channel he uses the swivels and holds the spool in his hands at a 90 degree angle or just under and the wire naturally falls in place as the wire turns in the drill/swivel.
The same can be done for single core claptons too.
You are halfway there already with your setup.
The only thing you need to do is get the wrapping started and then hold the spool close to your body and follow it down the core as it wraps itself.
Ima head on over to YouTube and get that in my life, brbā¦
Also:
Gotta new prescription for my glasses. After confirming what I already knew, that my close-up, near, detail vision is considerably worseā¦so ive been given a prescription for bifocalsā¦
Woo hoo!! Glasses will be in this weekā¦Cant waitā¦
Iām headed over to YouTube
Yeah, I just completely absorbed both videos on that channelā¦I am strickenā¦I must do thisā¦MUST.do.this.
Total thanks for the shareā¦and it works?? No problems?? Just hold it at 90Ā° angle or less and roll with it??? Wow, Iām fuckin on it!! Corded or cordless?? I have a cordless now, but you can bet your assume ill have a corded one tomorrow!
Yeah, Iām impressedā¦
So Iām sitting here thinking at those speeds with thinner core wires you might just very well need an additional swivel, even as free spinning as mine areā¦But my swivels donāt come apartā¦ill have to attach bring to themā¦
Iām gething ready to do thisā¦brb
Iām gonna preface this by saying FUCK!!!
THE BATTERY IN MY DRILL DIED!!! FUCK!!!
I got 3 inches done of 2x26g K wrapped in 38g Nm80 perfectly in like 4 secondsā¦wowā¦and the FUCKING battery died!!!
OK, Iām goodā¦just gonna charge upā¦
But, I got dis, wow, that was most excellent!!!
Actually youāre forgetting your Vaperās Etiquette. The term is now officially Vuck, Iām gonna preface this by saying Vuckā¦lol. That Vucking Vrillās Vattery Vied On Meā¦
