Generally, when someone is learning to build coils it progresses something like this..
Round wire
Twisted wire
Clapton/ Staggered Clapton
Fused Clapton/ Staggered Fused Clapton
Staples
Aliens
This isnt always the case, and these aren't even all the possible ways to make coils but these are the most common listed in order of difficulty and if you can do all these you can do pretty much any coil.
I vape pretty heavy with sweet/ fruit flavors. If I use a Clapton or anything simpler my flavor is gone by the next day. With a fused clapton or better it lasts between 4-8 days. But fused claptons take time to make and they use much more wire than a twisted coil, so twisted coils still have uses. Say I just made some DIY juice, or even just bought some new juice that I wasn't sure of the flavor on. I could twist a coil and throw it in an rda, test the juice, then break it down and have it cleaning in the ultrasonic in the time it would take just to make a fused clapton. That's about all I use them for now
