Coil Building show offs!

That 40 gauge wrap makes it look so smooth

yeah 40g does make coils looks really nice. tobad it´s a pain in the but to wrap :stuck_out_tongue:

I can only imagine, I had a bout of frustration with 36g ss316L earlier that ended with about 3 ft of it kinked up and in the trash lol that should teach it a lesson

Intricate builds are really a work of art. I spent a lot of time early on building “what was intricate back then”. Some of them performed very good and others were just duds, although they looked good.

Of a lot of these new builds out there, do you find they offer a better vaping experience over certain wire types and a simpler build?

Only speaking for myself, but I don’t think kanthal Clapton’s are worth the work compared to twisted SS316L, although I haven’t tried ss Clapton’s yet. I’ve been playing with 3 and 4 wires in parallel and I think that’s possibly better than twisted, at least with fruits. All the more exotic builds seem like art more than flavor, but idk lol I’m happy with ss and ti In fairly simple configurations

That almost looks like plain round wire lol

most of the fancy builds you find on instagram don’t vape very good. Like you said,they are works of art.
On the other hand, some vape very well.

I may not make jewerly as such shown here, but I do like looking at it, and admire the skill level.

ya, I only build ones that I can use. Like staple staggertons. Staples, staggered, aleins, fused claptons

This is in no way to diminish the value of more complex coil structures, but I’m not convinced that more complex builds would yield significantly better flavor for me. I use some parallel clapton builds and in a few atties it seems to make a small difference. Moreover, I think it is relevant that I tweak my recipes to the atties and builds that I use for vaping. Here we have two dynamics that I believe are mitigating each other.

Fused with diffrent core like parsllel ribbon gives a better vape. Buth say alien vr fused nopp its just for show.

This is what I’m exploring. I haven’t made a fancy coil build in quite some time. I’m wondering what’s the difference from back then up to now. The builds or wire type or what.

From what i notice when i started building 3 years ago its better quality of wire. And the mods give better power so they can handle the bigger build to give them the power and glory as they need. The reason i love the fused and builds with ribbons are that the coil itself acts like a wick. And have massive surface area. I start to use crazy single builds as they can now have the surface area to be killer.

A little bit of nostalgia. I haven’t built a clapton in 2.5 years or more. These are most of my intricate builds from back in the day. These don’t compare to what’s being built today, but still not bad for nearly 3 years ago…

That thread back in the day was epic. If you had kept at it you would be an Instagram star. Those are still better than a lot of the ones I see posted on IG.

I think it was your build but I don’t see it in those photos…the Olympic build?
