thanks! I made about 25cm in 2 hours.

So here I go again, this time playing around with my UD Kanthal 26ga wire, as that is the only wire I have at this stage, lol. Again it is a simple build but with a bit of a twist.
Getting the wire ready:
I wrapped the Kanthal A1 26ga wire around a 0.7mm diameter wire, and pulled it off the 0.7mm wire, unfortunately the photo of the winding process got deleted by accident.
I then stretched it out a bit and hammered it flat, again this pic got lost somewhere.
Coiled it up on my 3mm coiling Jig, it didn't came out quite as I wanted it to, but it works, lol.
Coming in at 0.55 Ohms before wicking on dual coil build on my new Griffin 25.
Dry burning it a bit:
Wicked (Sorry the quality is bad, very blurred, but was the best between the couple photos I took):
Juiced up and ready to Rumble:
Using UD Kanthal A1 26ga wire, with 7 wraps, 3mm ID, Dual Coil coming in at 0.55 Ohms.

Nice work. How does it vape?

My second attempt on this build, this time on my Serpent Mini:
Using the left over wire I made this time coiling it up on my UD Coiling jig on 2.5mm ID. think this came out better than my first attempt on my Griffin 25:
Coming in at 0.77 Ohms:
With a bit if Dry Fire:
All wicked and juiced, ready to blow dem coulds, lol:
Using UD Kanthal A1 26ga wire, with 5 wraps, 2.5mm ID, coming in at 0.77 Ohms.

Great work. Love the symmetry.
Hey guys. Been a while...
Nice pics of quad coil build without wicking (didn't crimp them too much, wanted the space in between):
All wicked up:
Very nice ramp up:
I confirm, these are my own.
UD 26AWG SS 316L
15 wraps
2mm ID
Comes in @ 0.18ohm
In the Velocity Mini, stunning vape. Nice and hot, chucks cloud and stunning flavour!! To all the naysayers that reckon the Velocity is a cloud chasing atty, try this build, the flavour is up there with the best! Stainless Steel is just awesome, love the "clean" taste you get off it.
Adios

BAHAHAHAHA, your funny mate!!
Built and wrapped myself
Staple Staggered Fused Clapton
2 strands 28g kanthal, 4 strands 0.5/0.1 ribbon kanthal and claptoned with 36g Ni80. 5 wraps came to 0.24 ohms. Scottish roll wicking with Japanese cotton (all my builds are wicked like this)
My coil wrapping wasn't very neat so will post another build of this with better pictures when I do it again.
So I think we have another winner here, this actually ties with the Alien wire as my favourite build. Nice vapour production with really good flavour (not too hot but nice and warm), can almost describe it as a really smooth vape, going great with Paulies Coffee Cake.
So the secret to wrapping this is in the prep work, make sure all the wires are straight and hand wrap the ends together with short pieces (5-10cm) of the 36g Ni80 before loading the wire into the drill and swivels. I definitely recommend buying some ball bearing fishing swivels, initially struggled with them but when you get the hang of it, claptoning wires becomes a lot easier. If you can make a staggered fused clapton, you will get this build super quickly.
Overall another fun build and great vape

This is beautiful bud. Where do you get time for this???????
I have about a 25 minute window at night before my wife, 4year old and bull terrier drive me mad to play with them... Obviously on very different levels and not at the same time...
Thanks @theyettie, if I'm not working or studying then usually have some time to mess around and try a new build (have no wife, dog, or kid duties at this stage)

Hey bud, easy way to keep your wires together is to use a piece of shrink wrap around the ends... snip a small piece, slip it over and give it a quick torch with the lighter and you're golden
Below is a picture of my coil(s) as installed without wicking.
Below is a picture of my build as wicked.
Twisted this wire myself. Not precoiled. I Twisted 2 Kanthal A1 26G wires together and Coiled it together with Clapton Wire III 32G. Did 5 wraps on 3mm comes out to 0.14 Ohm and wow what a treat. Making mad clouds and getting the best flavor I have ever tasted from my DIY juices

Finally got around to making some clapton wire. 24gauge kanthal claptoned with 28gauge kanthal:
Ramping 'em up...
Wicking 'em up...
So everything done myself
5 full wraps with a 3mm ID
Comes in @ 0.27ohm
Firing @ 95W
Obviously with those gauges it's a lot thicker than your normal clapton, but basically all the drippers nowadays have HUGE post holes, so it ain't a problem...
Warm vape, dense cloud and great flavour!! (Once again I say, you can get stunning flavour on the Velocity with a flavour oriented build)

All coils made by me ... Nothing pre-made including the Clapton wire used ...
3 x 26awg Kanthal twisted reading at 0.19ohm
Staged heating Clapton with 24awg twisted pair Kanthal. Parallel wrap, single coil at 0.2ohm.
Video below images
This one is a bit of a bad quality shot. It's called a Zipper Coil. Flavour was amazing!

5 loops of 34ga TMN80 Reverse Slentre over 2 x 28ga KA1 cores
3mm ID Dual coils of 4 wraps each on the Twisted Messes RDA
Wicked with Cotton Bacon
Vapes is great! But I need a device with more power (parallel mech is not enough) to get the performance. This wire is very wide and so I couldn't get enough wraps in to use it on my Noisy Cricket I will revisit this wire with smaller cores.

Way above my pay-grade dude. Well done!
That does look complicated. Well done. Looking forward to seeing the smaller cores result.5 loops of 34ga TMN80 Reverse Slentre over 2 x 28ga KA1 cores

3mm ID single coil of 6 wraps on the Phenotype-L RDA at 0.35Ω after pulse
Wicked with Cotton Bacon
This isn't as clean as the last build; it's more difficult to go between the cores and get a very even result... But the wire is narrower and so I could use it for a series build. The next one will be better! I intend to redo this for neatness, because the flavour is really great! Nice seperation of flavour notes!

Looks neat to me. Well done.
Some of the guys on here got some mad building skills! although I wouldn't want to know at what cost it came to make all these sexy coils!
what do you mean "at what cost"?
