Excellent work for a first try!
After seeing @PTcoils enigma and having the failed attempt earlier which ended up as a standard interlock I figured Iâd try again only this time actually with 12ply .3ribbon.
Just some raw pics before editing.

Looks like you got it this time around
@Jondamon and @PTcoils I have a building questionâŚI suck at trying anything other than relatively simple claptons/twists ectâŚI was trying to nail down an Alien yesterday and just wasted a bunch of wire because I canât stop my cores from twisting?..I get like a couple of cm of perfect Alien then it just goes mental and twists, Iâm using 3 ball bearing spinners but what method do you use to stop this from happening?..
Nice work dude
Hey @Pugs1970, sounds like youâve over stretched your Clapton to me, either that or your applying to much pressure to your wrap wire which is causing your cores to collapse on you. If done correctly you shouldnât need anything to hold your core flat as the wrap will do this for you, but you can use hair clips, keyring or even just a piece of fine wire wrapped around your cores and squashed flat and used as a slider helps. But with any of those methods means you will need to stop at some point to release or move your help aid which then means you have to find the right tension and flow again which can sometimes mess up the consistency of the wrap.
Cheers PhilâŚsome good tips there man, Iâme guessing you hit the nail on the head with too much tension though, Iâll give it another go today thanks again man
No worries dude, aliens are all about pressure and feel so I can give you tips but the rest is done by practice and feeling really. Another tip is to use a few drops of juice on your fingers to help to wrap wire move more freely through your fingers. Over time it gets easier and you wonât need these aids as like I said before itâs all a feeling and experience thing. You have to fail to learn dude itâs just part of the process unfortunately lol just stick with and the rewards will follow
You want your stretched Clapton to look like this mate
Legend, cheers brother
Anytime man
first? lolâŚstares angry at the coils i put in my doge why wonât you look like them that is so awesome, well done.
That is just seriously freakinâ gorgeous!
Awesome work. If I had this, I wouldnât even vape it, just spend the day staring at it.
Guys Iâm excited! I made something other than a single wire coil! Small fries, I know, but like I said Iâm excited. Lol Itâs not amazing but it works!
Looks beautiful!
