So that 18G, you sanded until flat on the outside and then polished? Idk how thatd improve it but it looks sick!
It just looks cool haha. It does chuck clouds though. I only sanded the outside so the inside of the coil is still rounded
Yea it looks really cool! I guess with less surface area, it probably heats up quicker, might have to try that
You need an ultrasonic cleaner for sanded/polished coils. There's no other way to fully wash off all of the metal shavings that accumulate through the process of sanding & polishing. I started at a 120 grit, 150, 220, 340, 440, 600. I need to go buy myself some higher grit sand paper so I can get a super mirror finish. In the meantime: this.
Are you guys using the fishing swivel method? Ive made a few claptons but they were messy, then my 30G got tangled, but i figured i can get 36G around 24G if i that fishing swivel method works as good as it looks
Yeah I use swivel jigs. Not the ball bearing kind or anything special, just ordinary swivel clips in a vice. If it doesn't spin fast enough with the drill, drip a drop or two of VG or juice where the clip spins.
Well, of course you vape on them 
I doubt I'll ever move beyond simple Claptons, which I've only recently started making, but I do like to look at these amazing builds. I'm also primarily an RTA person and many of these would not fit on the decks.
This is more than a skill though, IMO. Its a talent.

. Its a talent.Eh it's practice. RTA's can use Claptons/fused Claptons too, when I build on them I just use thinner gauge wires like 28g or 30g for fused Claptons with a 36g or higher wrap. I just hate wrapping the leads around tiny screws.Well, of course you vape on them

I have 26/32 Claptons in a few RTAs. I want to try some 28/34 ones for some others. Maybe I'll try wrapping some in the next few days
Don't for forget to share your coils over in the Wompers thread.I have 26/32 Claptons in a few RTAs. I want to try some 28/34 ones for some others. Maybe I'll try wrapping some in the next few days
Do you have a pic of this rig set up? Curious on how it differs then mine. My smaller gauges are still twisting up pretty bad so i know swivel isn't moving fast enough. I'm thinking about doing another fused build tonight to replace the Clapton's in my vector. When you've got your swivel clamped down and wire looped through and into the chuck, how much tension are u putting on it?

Mine probably don't merit sharing.
I share a lot of RTA builds, but more for wicking than my coils
. Wicking I'm good at. Coils, I'm just happy they light up right.It's extremely simple. Literally just a swivel clip in a vice.
I'm getting my first RTA soon, and I already have my wire build for it. Going vertical chimney style wickI share a lot of RTA builds, but more for wicking than my coils
Tried again today, best ones yet. 26 gauge kanthal cores, 34 outer wrap, 2.3ish ID, ohmed out .20 after dry firing. Used the swivel method. Still got really twisted up, but I tried something new. After I finished wrapping the fused, I grabbed the ends with pliers, and reversed the direction on the drill. Did a few sections and it seemed to really help. Still not as flat as I would like, but got the claptons pretty tight.
