Think it was 30 nichrome on 26 cores so pretty chunky, I’ll get finer the more practice I get I think 🖒…all I did was lick my fingers and let off the pressure a bit lol…took my time with it 🖒

30g is way to thick dude you need to get down to about 34g really and you will see with thinner wire it’s so much easier.

Looks like they coiled upwith a 1 mm ish id then stretched it out (like you do an alien wrap) flattened it then coiled it again

PT is right about the thinner gauge wire being easier to alien but I gotta say man that those aliens you made with the fat, lightly spaced wraps were pretty neat looking. I really like those! I bet it was hard as hell getting that wrestling that 30g lol

Your not wrong there dude lol, and thanks 🖒 Now I know its easier with finer stuff I’ll deff be goin down that route haha 🖒

The higher gauge stuff allows for a little room for adjustment on the fly so if you have under stretched slightly you can apply a little extra pressure to gain the stretch needed to get the wrap right without collapsing your cores :+1:

To me this looks like someone claptoned a low gauge wire like 28 or 26g and then stretched it like they were gonna alien it. Instead of an alien wrap though they just coiled it up like it was. Its pretty, but I bet it vapes like shit!
