I will sort a few more different pics up, and pop the odd one here. Anyone who want to jump on this thread, should do, weather it be simple round wire coil or something different

@mattc1 I wouldn't even know where to start making these. What's the glob on the end?

Its hot glue to hold the cores in place to start. and if not wrapped into coil, I either crimp or glue so wrap don't move when stored.

Makes sense, do they take long to make? I kinda feel like these days with how cheap it is to buy premade coils or spools it's harder to justify the time investment...though it looks like you've managed to make loads judging by that bag in the background.

Good morning. Once you have got your hand in with making an Alien, it takes the same time as a Clapton apart from you have to make a decore wire to form the s shape of Alien. So preparation is the key. Its just one of my hobbies and I enjoy the creative/art side of wire too, and making nice coils to vape. Hand made coils do last longer, if you keep on top of the cleaning of them, and as I no what wire is used I can tailor them for my needs, as in a hot low ohm coil, or a cool high ohm coil. And that bag is only my alien bag, have a few bags for different types.

I envy you your dexterity and patience, it must be very satisfying to vape on your own coils and get that certain "perfect" vape, I have a favourite juice that I can only vape on a set of Reggies` TCSFC coils cos with any other coils it spits like a wildcat, I know everyone has a theory on why coils spit, but I`ve satisfied myself that with this juice it`s the coils.

Yes I enjoy my time when doing them. @Reggiec coils are very good!...
