As long as they're built with ni200 or Ti, I don't see why not - you just have to very much watch your resistances when trying to build with that much material (e.g. Claptons or other twisted variations). Those materials are already naturally extremely low resistance conductors - the more you bind together, the lower the resistance - it's already difficult enough to get the ohms up to a usable resistance with standard wraps. ESPECIALLY with dual coils - it's probably not even possible. Ti might be a little better since it is a little higher in natural resistance than ni200 - but not by a lot!
I recently built my first Ni200 clapton and it vapes really well! The resistance is a little lower than I was hoping for, and my DNA40 runs it fine, but I am really thinking about a DNA200 now. As @manthe suggested Ti wire might be a little better for keeping the resistance to a more reasonable reading.
I would imagine a clapton would be much easier to build with titanium than nickel simply due to the wire being less flimsy
Yeah I would think so too, the nickel was a bit of a pain. I have been considering ordering some ti to play around with. Maybe I will now!
I think there's some debate as to whether dry firing titanium is safe. I usually do not - at least not in the 'traditional sense'. It IS recommended that titanium be annealed with low heat. This can be done with a regular lighter or (as I usually do) by using very very low wattage and heating it until it 'work hardens' (don't let it come to a full, red glow). You can also use these low temp burns to to squeeze and/or strum your coils as well to assure even and proper firing. It has worked for me thus far.
