Episode Nine: The Micro-Clapton Zipper

[@bCoLeS392]

I bought a couple coils from you at Vaperslam in Charlotte, you were very helpful at explaining the difference to me between the staple coils and the framed staple coils and I'm loving them! You were honestly the coolest guy I talked to at the whole convention. Thanks again

[@richardpeterson3753]

Just wanted to thank you for everything you have contributed to our community.i don't think you get near enough recognition.a vast majority of the coils we make was something you designed or helped design lol.we wouldn't be where we are today without your mind hard at work making these beast coils and techniques

[@gwthrpain]

Shame the community isnt like it used to, builders gone, devices gone. wtf happened

[@nukkel01]

I have found using a piece of 1/4 in pex tubing for taming the flying ends. Works on staples and stagger staples. I found that even when I have it all taped up. Keeps it all from flailing around.

[@mattclark8746]

I am in awe of the technique. Legendary wrap god.

[@settrigh8310]

for the new people who wants to try this out i just wanna say that this build is all good for cloud chasing and competitions not for daily use (in my opinion) cause it burns the cotton so fast no matter how you wick

[@ItsMeKhalid]

Great as usual. those fine wires wouldn't break if you use small swivels Ryan, but definitely they would when using the same size of swivels you normally use with thick ones. simply because thin wire would twist rather than getting a large-sized swivel to spin. and that what happened with me. I used small swivels then and it worked well.

[@uubuer9889]

absolute beauty of a coil, i used to watch alot of these back in the day i always put up a goal post at the end of the table so the core couldnt fall off the side, just the few times i did a more than 5ft order. but tbh idk why you would put the core on a swivel and just keep the drill static, moving only your hands holding and guiding the clapton micro wire

[@tristerohmz2107]

Thanks for all the "Back to Basics " tutorials, I'm a new builder and your videos are great!

[@jeffreymoffitt4070]

Thank you, I use your tutorials for making jewelry out of copper wire! Keep them coming!

[@klr4203]

I'm addicted, just ordered enough wire to fence my acreage. Thanks for doing these incredible videos. Started with a bunch of 30ft rolls. That didn't last more than a couple days.

[@petertaylor4812]

"I'm gonna helix this for fun" !!! you got serious skills man, stunning build. Going to loose my weekend trying this I'm sure, thanks for the tutorial.

[@warped1626]

I've been playing with this a lot lately and am so happy to watch the master work!

[@FuzzyReflect]

great video your way of freehanding is great, i personally tape my thump and index finder and squeeze the wire so i can ensure i don't back wrap because using a swivel with such thin wire its easy to back wrap and easy to snap the core wire. plus when i do really long pieces once i get about halfway on a 2-3 ft piece of wire ill pick up the drill and stretch both my arms apart so i always have complete control

[@zipp4everyone263]

That coil is a work of art!

[@somethingblend]

This is equally as exciting as a magician telling us how his tricks are done. These videos are super helpful and I've used a lot of the methods you've shared. I'll definitely be giving your juice a shot soon too. Thanks for dropping your knowledge bombs 🙌🏽

[@seanmcallister328]

awesome job doode. i leaenes alot from you. i started wrapping aliens 11 months ago. your vid was the first and only one i needed. within a couple hours i had the technique down and then added the swivel later. i feel my free hand skills helped me to build and not relying on a tool. but i solely use swivels now... but i put my time in before the swivel trick was out. thanks man. you are much to thank for my coils going on the market. greatly appreciated

[@nsns777]

Had the pleasure of meeting Ryan at VaperSlam, just popping in to say how nice you were man! Hope you had a good show.

[@TheArtofVaping]

+Nathan Sadler Great show, thanks for stopping by the booth!

[@hannahbanana7461]

I just recently made the kumihimo braided coil following your video. I can't wait to try this one next. I love your videos, man.

[@bongles2010]

Nice one, A fully comprehensive, easy to follow, actual Video showing what you do and how you did it. Awesome stuff.

[@tonyagw5316]

First time I've ever made a comment on your videos.. And I'm actually making coils the way you show me.. And it does take a bit of practice.. Much love ;)

[@TheArtofVaping]

+Tony Agw Thank you for the comment Tony and I'm glad to hear the video's have been helpful. Hope to bring you some more soon!

[@Johnny241948]

Very good demo, I'm trying to build now and with the step by step video's you and other builders put out it's like having your very own wire warlock. THANK YOU Have A Great Vape!!

[@Taxman97]

A beautiful build and an excellent tutorial, as always.

[@evannartker1129]

Micro claptons are a pain, well done, I need to try this technique. As always, great video Ryan!

[@jaywilliams7029]

your vids are awesome we just need to see more of them

[@nicolerosa224]

I can't wait to start building. Safety first of course! Mahalo for this amazing tutorial.

[@yamahastuart109]

DOODE I love all your videos. They inspire me to go and try different builds all the time. You like my Instagram photos and its like the best feeling that you appreciate my builds like I do yours. Keep up the awesome work bud.

[@dataluskazan4006]

This was the first advanced could I ever saw and I thought it looked very cool and now I know his to make them thank you knowledge is power and rock on

[@esk8world]

Your coil tutorials have always been my favorite. Hope you're doing well, man!

[@dougrussell4803]

Great video man, I always look forward to learning your amazing tips and tricks. Consider the screw driver to the finger done. Love it!

[@taylorhall3109]

Thank you for all your valuable lessons. you have truly helped me over so many hurdles

[@BigTIMMYSbbq]

definitely gonna try that micro clapton technique. I've tried with swivels and just as u said, I keep breaking my cores. I'm a freehand builder anyways, so this trick might work. thanks for another sweet video Squidoode

[@alexandersangster7137]

Thank you so much I've been asking around and trying to figure out how to Clapton small wire for a few weeks and it always breaks with my swivel, straight up your the man thank you, straight gonna Clapton 36 with 40 to try it out

[@thevapinfish6011]

very nice build man, I like that free hand masking tape screwdriver technique seems to work great

[@bazdin01]

You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to make a new video.

[@TheArtofVaping]

+Burak Din Thanks for being patient, plenty more coming!

[@addytuney2028]

thanks ryan! so humble, ya didn't pimp you e-liquid line. Doode had a tasty line of liquid guys!

[@TheArtofVaping]

+addy tuney have to man, people need to taste what refined good e-liquid is all about! Thanks for checking it out!

[@TomKatt8569]

Thanks I'm a new builder and I love Claptons for their flavor not yet ready for this one yet but soon maybe

[@Apathymiller]

great to hear new builders. fused claptons (2 core wires) are even easier than claptons in my opinion. even better flavor. more wire= more flavor, surface area. build on buddy!

[@TomKatt8569]

+Joshua “Apathy” Miller Thanks for the feed back I'll have to try to build one as soon as I get my RX200

[@Pono421]

if you heat the wire before making the coil it will take the spring out of it which will make it easier to make the coil and also help keep it's shape.

[@bekacarter6792]

that was just awesome. I cannot wait to try it myself. baby steps, lol.

[@SubOhmSenseivapes]

Glad to see ya back at it!

[@BBgunX22]

Those coils will give extreme spit back, he even got some at the end when he took a hit you can see his face when he took the hit, he flinched cuz it spat hot juice into his mouth XD 17:07

[@anas9]

yup i scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed :)

[@PajamaNewsNetwork]

"really smooth"

[@Brock_in_the_North]

120watts, why would you wanna run that high. I've used some crazy coils before but never had to run above 100watt. No wonder he's getting crazy spit back

[@v6cosworth167]

I'm not the only one that saw that, LOL, really smooth, LOL

[@jayisbored]

He probably over dripped

[@N3rdman53]

[@PROFSMOOTHnutzPHD]

Awesome build, Doode!

[@gwenleding]

Your videos are the bests, love your builds bro, keep on.

[@jameskauhn908]

looking forward to that Squidoode

[@capnskustomworks]

Dang, Doode, brethren, I swear... If you're gonna keep doin' stuff this cool I'ma just give up building... Hahaha! Seriously man, your work is an inspiration as always! I love this one, I could see this being a "higher-technical-level" build that would be awesome for everyday use too, rather than just aesthetic value. Love the screwdriver trick, I know what ye mean about just working off the feel of it instead of watching it closely!!! I personally use my thumbnail held perpendicular to my index finger, seems like your method is a similar concept but you've got the benefit of that sweet groove! Keep up the good work!!!

[@TheArtofVaping]

+CapnsKustomWorks Always enjoy your comments brother! Thanks for checking it out and the thumbs up!

[@ritchieburleson4130]

I should have figured out that the core was kanthal due to the spring in the wire. the zipper was my introduction to the crazy world of coil builds so this one really intrigues me

[@4cido_D0ming0_Vinc3]

huge thanks for this tutorial...could easely be my next goal...thanks again

[@chrisa3828]

DAM! That's awesome. Keep up the great work.

[@TheAceJokers]

that's some next level shit bro

[@melody3741]

If you want to do micro claptons just use a roll with a elastic roll holder. Put the wire theough the hole then put screwdrivers to hold the plastic part away from the roll edges so it doesnt get stuck and then it will literally clapton itself the entire way down. Its perfect for microclaptons that i use for clapceptions and you can make one go across the entire room since you dont have to hold it. Just steady the wire with your hand to keep it from vibrating.

[@melody3741]

Its so much better than the other kinds of auto clapton things because all you need is stuff you already have laying around. I have used allen keys, small screwdrivers, the bars from coil wrappers, etc.

[@melody3741]

And if all you have is a drill and a tool kit then use screwdrivers and hold the end lightly between your fingers and it will still work.

[@dronepilotcanadian6427]

Awesome thanks. That was fun to watch 😀.

nice technique brother...I think I would have to tape my index finger....I have cut into my fingers all too often with the smaller gauge wires, 36 hurts nicely lol.

Thanks for this! Awesome tips

[@MatticusBradicus]

I just had a micro screw driver surgically attached to the outside of my index finger, seems to work better than taping.

[@vapsterphil4513]

Love your build tutorial's bud

[@OysterJrVape]

Thanks for this video, can't wait to try it out! However I don't know what the core wire is made of. Kanthal or Nichrome.

I've always been wondering where he keeps his clapton wire, like the 38AWG in this video. That's something I have a problem with myself. I always end up having to hold the spool as I'm wrapping, basically making it a thousand times harder to control.

I know this was a few months ago but could you use ribbon as the core, that would be my twist on this build. Feel free to try if you want

[@ggtom1051]

damn bro good lookin seen most of your vids and theyre so detailed and helped me figure out alot on how to make good claptons but if i could make a vid suggestion could you do one on the dragon skin coil cuz ive seen some vids but they just dont put enough detail into it for me lol
