I hope so because I would think 1000000 times before ever clicking dislike. I wouldn't want to make people afraid to share for fear of disapproval.

Why not send him a pm to remove any doubt as to his intentions?
@Alex @brotiform I'm not stressed about it at all. I'm going to leave it, 2 dislikes now maybe I can go for the record 
But seriously I'm a very light hearted person those here that know me can atest to the fact. It will take a lot, and I mean a lot, more than a dislike to ruffle my feathers lol

2. Built myself
3. Alien Clapton (built myself)
4. 28g kanthal for the inner cores (3 strands parallel). 34g nichrome for outer wrap. 5 wraps come to 0.36 ohms on the evic mini.
I've only used it for about a day now but it is awesome. Cloud wise it is similar to the other claptons but the flavour is amazing with this coil (really do like it). Ramp up time is good and a nice warm vape (not too hot). First alien clapton that I managed to wrap after several failed attempts (a lot of mumbling at the drill and wire was involved
).The super cool thing about this coil is how well it wicks e-liquid. Have a look at "twisted messes" alien wire review on youtube, he has a close up of how the coil wicks.
If you like claptons this is definitely a coil (or type of coil) one should try.
I disliked that post because I don't feel it was a build that should be in this thread.
The pictures were unclear, and the build looked messy and convoluted. I objectively dislike it. Sorry if that hurts your feelings @Greyz.
As for people who are wrapping single-core Claptons: try 2 cores or go Alien or make micro claptons (34g core with a 40g clapton, which you can then clapton over a 28/26g wire) or just buy a roll of pre-made clapton wire and save some money!
Look up @gregstephens2 on Instagram. Or @tomyneque. That's coil porn, and you can do it at home!
The difference you will get from a more complex build is blatant, in terms of flavour and clouds, and you will learn and improve exponentially fast! Furthermore, any wires that you make, that might be worthy of a dislike (if you post a photo), can still vape great, provided there are no hotspots, and so your practice doesn't need to be a complete waste of resources!
@WDE that's clean mayn! You should give braiding a bash, the flavour is one up from Aliens IMO. I hope you are using swivels!

Thank you explaining your dislike of the build concerned and for confirming that your are playing the ball and not the man. That takes guts. And as I have come to know @Greyz he will take to heart what he agrees with and never give up.
Hope to see some of your builds in this thread.
Okay here goes my 1st attempt at something different - braiding
This is a 4 strand Chainlink Braid made with pre-twisted 34g Kanthal and 34 Flat Ribbon. As an after thought next time I'll just hand twist 2 strands of 34g Kantha - the flat ribbon just made the braiding more difficult.

4 wraps spaced came out at .4ohms - at 40W the ramp up time was quick.

All loaded up with Gush
I wish I could say the vape is better than the stock Notch coil but it wasn't
I think I went wrong by not torching the wire enough so the braid was still a bit springy and didn't hold shape when compressed. Ended up having to make it a spaced coil because of the springyness.
All lessons learnt for next time tho
Also can't understand the dislike,that's just nasty... Looks like a hectic build and I concur,fibre freaks isn't all that in my opinion. Cotton bacon is the boobs.
Wholeheartedly agree with what you say Andre. You, like myself, would have handled the blurry pics in a different way
But yas sus man these dislikes are ruining my rep man!
Edit: I'll never stop trying I'm only 6 months into this thing!

My intention was not to get anyone to stop trying, and I was not "looking down on your attempt." I'm very sorry I made you feel that way! I am actually a very approachable person! I'm all for sharing what I've learned while vaping, and I'm even down to Skype with anyone who wants a personal tutorial!
But I disliked your post, and build, because this thread was for a medal, and I take building relatively seriously. I was, and am, expecting a certain standard to be upheld, and I think your build would have been better in the "Dem buildz" thread, until you nail V3.
That one I disliked purely because in my opinion, it is arrogant.
I accept yo ur explanation, Andre alerted me that you true intention.
My build was not an attempt at earning the medal. I just wanted to show what I tried. I literally learned a few braid styles with my mother in law as my aid and my daughter as my head of hair. Your 100% right that post should have been in Dem Builds and not here! It was late, my fingers were sore and I should have thought it out better.

Aaaww! Just as I got my popcorn ready!
Looking back at my build for the cricket, I'm not sure why commets were not made it not fitting in here.
In future I'll post under 'Dem builds' rather since this thread seems to be for the more exotix build for which I'm clearly not ready, since nice builds are being ahot down as not fitting.
Apologies for my ignorance as well.

I'm sorry but your attitude leaves much to be desired as far as I'm concerned. This forum is built on a community spirit, and everyone is welcome to share their own builds here regardless of whether they meet your lofty expectations or not.
No, no this thread is for all builds, not just exotic ones. If I was the Awards Team I certainly would want to see quite a few builds before taking a decision, however.
Personally I think you cricket build is great - neat, tidy, symmetric, clean, etcetera (if only I could build coils like that), but I would like to see more. That is my opinion, which is just that - an opinion - which counts as much as anyone else's opinion (how high their standard might be or not).
Anyhow, the main the thing is to have fun and maybe earn a medal in the process.
When did things get so serious around here

I've been psyched to see all the builds so far (everyone gets me excited to try new things).
@Greyz I think your build was awesome. You did what everyone is here to do... learn and build. (feel like people often skip the learning bit so I like your style). Also the post itself was great, it gave your full build experience which I also think is cool.
@GreenyZA Also a fan, I don't think I've ever wrapped a micro coil that neat (that's why I build claptons, to distract everyone from my terrible micro coil wrapping skills).
@smilelykumeenit thanks, will one day venture into the word of braiding. Have a few ideas for claptons I need to try get right first (yeah a swivel was used for the alien but funny enough I tend to be neater without it, slower, but neater).
Overall this thread is awesome and people should keep posting their builds (no matter the size or shape).

The Vaping community are very close ready to help, ready to pif, etc kind of people. IMO nobody should be shot down for their attempts.....
Be it in coiling, wicking, juices or setups. So all parties concerned should just take a chill pill and enjoying vaping which ever way your coil is built who cares long as you off stinkies.....Just my 2 cents

Okay, so I also want to get in on the action here.
Currently running this:
Dual fused clapton. Bought the clapton but made the coils myself (making clapton? Ain't nobody got time for that...)
5 wraps, 2.4mm ID, coming in at 0.28ohm (as read by the Sig 213). Firing it @ 88W. Stunning cloud, stunning flavour (having some DIY aqua berry). Built on the Avo, so no wonder everything is awesome...
Here are some older pics:
Stainless Steel 316L 24gauge Dual Parallel boys (done all by my lonesome self) on the Velocity. It was a while ago, but I think it was 8 or 9 wraps with either a 3mm or 3.2mm ID. Comes in @ 0.21ohm on the Cuboid, firing it @ 100W.
Previous build on the Avo. (in the days prior to uncle @Spydro's advise about wicking the Avo better...). Dual Twisted SS 316L coils (done all by my lonesome self, the twisting as well), once again, either 3 or 3.2mm ID, 7 wraps and can't for the life of me remember the resistance, but it would've been low as it was 24AWG stainless steel...
Adios muchachos!!
