buy all the different types of wire? and if you mess up you wasted some wire?
Builds for Coil Master Medal

You can get wire for R100 for 10m, or 150m of twisted messes for R450. if you are using a sub ohm tank with commercial coils, you will probably spend 100-150 a month on coils. so you can buy a roll of wire a month, and it will last around 2-3 months. it's not so expensive, and it's a great hobby.
with wires that are "messed up", the issues are mostly aesthetic, and you'll still get a decent vape from it.
the twisted messes wire is excellent value for money!
Yeah I understand fully where you coming from, but what I mean is like if you making say for instance claptons from scratch then its slightly pricey compared to just buying pre made clapton wire. So I was basically commenting on the money to make all those sexy coils from scratch. And if you going for the whole coil porn look then aesthetic is the most important. I myself build my own coils, and yes it is much cheaper to build standard coils, but anything fancy is pricey.
Dual Quad twisted Kanthal A1 Coils. 3 mm ID.
Two strands of 26 ga and 24 ga each were used for each coil, no prefabricated wire used, wrapped the coils myself. Straightened the kanthal after cutting the strands off the roll, using the electric drill.
6 wraps each, I started with five in the first pic, added an extra one as the first coil was already very low.
Resistence measured in at 0.12 ohms, vape was really nice, but because it's kanthal I couldn't use TC and after a few chain hits (6 or so) the mod complains, so for safety I ended up removing them, so next time I'd probably use a wire type I can TC with.
Lessons Learnt: The ends of the wire started to warp because I either lost some tension or over tightened the wire, luckily the bulk was useable and I didn't need to start again.
Nowhere half as talented as some of the posts here, but for me it's a vast improvement over my micro coils a month or so ago.
*edit: I decided to try re-installing the coils in a slightly bigger deck, I was thinking that maybe one of the legs wasn't being caught enough under the RDA post screws. I put them in to my limitless RDTA, and they seem to work fine now, no gripes from the mod. The only thing is that you have to fire them at fairly high watts because of the ramp up, but the flavour and vapor production is great.

My Dual Coil build on my Subtank, 24Ga Kanthal, reading at 0.32Ohm
I just finished this wire. here is a shot with a R1 coin.
38ga TMN80 reverse slentre over 2x30ga KA1 cores. I don't have a lot of this wire because the 38ga snapped on 2 patterns I was trying, and I had to restart. I'll see if it can coil up into anything worthwhile!

Made this wire myself. I Twisted 2 strands GeekVape SS316L 26G wires together. Did 8 wraps on 3.5mm comes out to 0.2 Ohm. First time trying stainless steel wire and liking it. Lekker Smooth clouds and great flavour.
Those are some beautifully build coils. Well done
Hello everyone. So I got this coil idea from a GOOD friend (@Chris du Toit ) on this epic forum.
RDA : 528 Cutom Vapes Goon
Wire : UD Kanthal A1 24ga for the 2 main coils Plus a Twisted Messes 34ga Nichrome 80 as the brace
Inner diameter : 2mm
Number of wraps : 15 fon the main mother and 9 on the small brother
Total resistance : 0.36ohms
Mod : AV Apollo Clone Mechanical Mod
Wick : Kendo Gold
Juice : Paulies Coffee Cake 3mg
Details: I started of wrapping 40 wraps on a 2mm drill, then flattened it with a smooth plier and sanded it with 800, 1000 and 1500 sand paper.
I then halved the main coil and decoiled until i achieved the required wraps. Then the tricky part started, I had to align the 2 coils`s valleys and lay some 34ga in the valleys to keep the coils together.
Installed it in the Goon and dry fired until glowing like a Edison Wet Dream on my Sigelei 213 to make sure it was safe for the Mech mod.
Ohms was 100% and pop the lunar module on the Apollo rocket.
Wicked and juiced, the ramp up is good and the flavor is oh my soul!

Hi All
So I finally received some 34g wire to make some fused claptons, and I did...
Wire : UD Nichrome 80 26ga for the 2 core wire Claptoned with Twisted Messes 34ga Nichrome 80
Inner diameter : 3mm
Number of wraps : 7 wraps
Single/Dual: Dual coils
Total resistance : 0.20ohms
RDA/RTA: iJoy Tornado Nano
Mod : Sigelei 213
Wick : Kendo Gold
Juice : All coiled out - YoYo 3mg
Started of by straightening the 2 by 26ga cores, struggled 10 minutes to attach the 34ga to the main wires, finally got it hooked and stated the clapton, the core wire broke 3 times at the chuck of the drill because I didn't align everything in a straight line. When the fused clapton was done did a quick reverse of the drill to remove most of the twist in the wire, did my 7 wraps, stoked it..... Wicked it and ooooh my what a vape!

Perfection!
Good day everyone
So I saw this inception coil on instagram and I decided to attempt it...
Wire : UD Nichrome 80 26ga for the 2 core wire Claptoned with Twisted Messes 34ga Nichrome 80
And the inception coil is UD Nichrome 80 26ga
Inner diameter : 3.5mm of the fused clapton and 1.5mm for the inception
Number of wraps : 6 wraps for the fused and 26 wraps for the inception
Single/Dual: Single coils
Total resistance : 0.39ohms
RDA/RTA: 528 Cutom Vapes Goon RDA
Mod : EVic VTwo Mini
Wick : UD Jap cotton
Juice : Zodiac - Dream Berry Cream3mg
Started of by straightening the 2 by 26ga cores, hooked the 34ga and claptoned, When the fused clapton was done did a quick reverse of the drill to remove most of the twist in the wire, did my 6 wraps. Then I made a simple 26ga coil. Mounted the fused clapton in the Goon, fired and stoked it, then I inserted the smaller 26ga coil through the fused, has to use the Goons bridge screws to mount is as the gap on the bridges was to big. Then it took 5 minutes to wick as it was extremely difficult to get cotton through. When the wick was in the only way to see it was an inception coil was the 26ga wires around the screws. The ramp up is very quick and the flavour is UNREAL!

Awesome! Give the man a medal!!
SICK BRO! Total inception!
Extremely neat and fires perfectly. Awesomely done.
Re-post, in the right place

3 loop Vertebraid
8 Wraps around a 3mm ID
Comes in at 0.39 ohms
Has since found a new home in my Tsunami24
Huge flavour, love that setup.
Nice clouds for a single coil
Definitely worth the time and effort
PS, wear gloves when braiding.
