Ok so I've made a couple just plain wire and wrapped coils. Got bored really fast lol. Decided to try to make some fused claptons. Used 2 strands of 26 g kanthal, claptoned with 36 gauge kanthal. No they ain't pretty I did it by hand , no drill. Yes it took a minute lol. They are reading .11 ohm and boy are they tasty. Before I had made a dual parallel build and was ok for flavor but I really notice a marked difference with the fused claptons. Gonna get some ss and make some for temp mode in my wife's beast rta and see if she likes. First I'm gonna get a drill though lol my fingers hurt.

Damn Son, by hand? Now that is motivation and dedication!

Ball bearing fishing spinners are a must and a decent drill. Grimm Green has a YouTube on making easy fused Claptons, I very highly recommend it.

Lol why thank you, and yes it was ridiculous, been watching some vids and definitely gonna get a drill a block of wood and a few swivels , it's on! Got a goon , just the 22 which I kinda regret now . Not that I don't love it but now that I'm kinda building I gotta have some space ! This is too much fun for real. My wife was all like what is an rda? Don't you already have like 5 tanks ? And I'm like uh yeah but it's a goon babe , a freaking goon lmao. I love it for sure just wish I had got the bigger one.
