Clapton wire?

[Bonskibon]

I'm looking into trying some clapton wire. I don't twist wire myself so looking for a spool to buy. My usual build is about 1.5 28g kanthal, 8 wraps with 2.5 ID. What type of wire would I need to buy to get the closest build to what I'm already used to, or is that even possible?

Clapton wire is going to be a significantly different vape than a single coil of just 28g Kanthal, way more metal to heat up, needs more watts. I've used a 26g wrapped with 32g and it's a good, flavorful, cloud making, juice drinking vape. I still fall back to my twin 28 or 26g coils, though, and get great flavor from those, too, with about 1/2 the juice consumption (I'm too old to be in the cloud crowd). I'd start with one roll from Lightning Vapes to see if you like it (and if it'll fit your atty).

Great, thanks a lot. I'll get some to try out.

There is better wire than lightning vapes.

I personally like UD nichrome clapton. But ill tell you to find stuff by the roll.

Geekvape has some nice clapton as well.

26/32 is pretty standard and works well. If youre going to go single coil id probably get some fatter wire if you can. Like a 24/32 or 26/30. Slightly lower resistance will help push some extra heat through with lower voltages.

Claptons have a slower ramp up time but ultimately higher surface area.

If you like SS, which can be TC or wattage, check out Advanced Vape Supply, very solid choices for spools and wrapped coils. Prebuilt SS Coils

Great, thanks so much for the link. Was concerned about resistance and they have the specks all right there. Bookmarked.
