Good evening. Work was not great. Every day this week something has gone wrong. Tomorrow workers are coming in to take up the tile in our showroom and they are going to work over the weekend to polish the concrete floor.

They're the SS clapton wire coils I mentioed in my OP. I've been using 20 watts and pulsing them so as not to whack 'em with current all at once.

I think you are probably just using too high a wattage 10-15 watts is as high as you need to use unless you are using monster complex coils.

Thanks!
Yeah, I've been doing some research on coil builds and have come to the conclusion that I should probably use a little spacing between the coils to avoid cooking the crap out of them.

You need to dry burn ss coils at a lower wattage than kanthal or nichrome. Just pulse lightly until you see no hot spots with a contact coil. If you use a spaced coil you don’t need to pulse more than once or twice just to make sure your metal isn't touching anything it shouldn't.
