I have managed a +Ohm Clapton coil once. It's huge and it eats battery. It also kind of defeats the purpose of Clapton wire. It's really a subohm thing.

Someone needs to make a table top coil twisting thingamabob, holding a drill is too much work and having to pull a trigger is even harder 
ft seems to have some Clapton precoils:

Just throwing this out here, I've noticed Claptons with very thin gauge wire on the outer hit tend to work better for me, especially at lower watts. You can use 40 gauge if your eyes are up to working with frog hair, and it's a dream once you get it set up.
I have 26awg Clapton coils in my goblin mini and love them. I have tried them many dif ways andfor me the flavor and vapor is amazing. I would get nicrome 80 for the core wire and kanthal for the Clapton portion. Get enough wiretho make plenty of mistakes because chances are your gonna. I personally prefer the 26 and 36 Clapton it fits every device I use. An easier idea for you may be tiger wire I use it regularly as well and it's much easier and way less time consuming. For me that's 24 awg and .5 ribbon twisted very tightly. Older wire but still a good one.
I think that's the problem. It's really a subohm thing. Well... Back to twisted it is...
Doesn't mean You can't give it a shot, if it ohms out to about .5 it is totally safe with a high drain battery. Just for .... and giggles.
Not the case, just sayin. (Regarding the wicks). I'm the same way, I swap wicks when I flavor change. Plus I don't use many different types of ejuice, mainly just 1 brand and 1 flavor...OMG's w't'f' juice. I still swpa wicks once every 3-4 days just from OCD keeping things nice and new.
However, built my first claptons last week, fused 24g nichrome anarchist wire, wrapped with 34g kanthal. Ran it single coil for a bit, 5 wraps, came out to .2ohm - ran duals and it came out to .10 - singles are cool, dual coil clappies with 24g n80 fused with 34g kanthal is a bit too hot for me. Plus it eats batteries like nothing... I run a sig 150w box mod mostly, so I had no issues powering the dual clappies.... but I will say on the wick side, I didn't burn it for an entire week!
Because the fused clapton coils pick up sooooo much flavor, you can tell instantly when the wick is getting SORT of dry... Fused claptons are the best for flavor chasing... Staggered staple coils, alien coils, staggered staple helix coils, etc - all preform right around the same... they definitely hard to make... took me 2 days of failing before I mastered my first staggered staple coil. Just touching on the wicks, the fused claptons don't burn through the wick like you'd think. For any vaper that has a mod and an RDA, and some good VTC4's.... the fused claptons are a must-try... just to try. Don't get me wrong, I still love my normal 24g n80 anarchist wire, just a normal dual coil 4/5 wrap for my 'go-to' quick build when i need something fresh.
Any idea what I could do with NI200 clapton wire?Made with 0,4 and 0,2 wire. I ordered Kanthal clapton, but by mistake got that one and I am not into subohming. That wire has near to zero resistance, or am I wrong there?
If You have a TC device then go ahead and mess around with it. If not - AFAIK there is nothing You can do with it, You can't use Ni200 in regular mods.
Thought about making a nice braided keychain as I don't have a TC device.
Thank you. I was wondering if doing 28g wrapped with 34 or 36 would be ok to get smaller coils that weren't such juice hogs.
Here's my in Subtank. 28g wrapped with 32g. Came out to 1.1ohm. Flavor is fantastic at 18-20W.
I'm always having unbelieveable spitback issues with RBA and anything else than simple, spaced coil.
Ive got a subtank build in right now, 26 gauge clapton with a 34 gauge outer. 1.0 ohms at 15 watts and it's very very smooth.
If your eyes are up to it, 40 gauge wrapped around 28 is great and doesn't require more than 30 watts or so if you're running higher resistance builds. 28 with 36 would be nice too, and it's easier to work with.
I tend to 28/32 kanthal builds. Tough to twist the wire, but they all are. Still, it makes a nice vape, and doesn't require huge power or super-long cooldowns. I haven't tried a clapton nickel build yet.
As I like a (very) airy vape and even fully open airflow on Subtank with RBA base is barely enough I need a bit more power there and that usually causes spitback. I'm not getting along with it quite well. :c
