    Staggered Claptons have been my bane. Finally had some semi-success (just a few imperfections). Vapes nicely at 100 watts. All kanthal, so I need the wattage.

    How's the TC affected with the KA1 wrapped around those Claptons? Does it still work fine? I'm new to TC, & the TC builds I've done for people (some fused Ni200 Claptons & basic Claptons) I wrap in N80, but strip the N80 off the leads that are going into the posts so the mod only reads Ni200.

    You ever gonna tell me what this is? I'm dying to try vaping it!
    I did! Check the other thread, I explained how to make it haha

    Tom, at a guess im thinking you made that coil by making two decored claptons then spread them out a little then flattened one before corkscrewing the other through it then wrapped onto your mains?
    and they are both wound in opposite ways when you claptoned them?
    Almost but not quite, paraclapton, decored, 3x26g through the thicker gauge, and hand flattened the 36g against it then hammered flat. It's similar to the snake belly but completely flat, like an alien in that respect.

    Slip...you're messing with me, aren't you? I hope so because I've seen you build and paraclapton is just 2 wires claptoned on the same core

    Thanks! It hits very well, but I put it in the Velocity without thinking... The Velocity is a 2 coil atty, so I was holding my thumb over the opposite hole to get a decent hit. I'll make a pair soon and try it again. Replaced it with these:

    2x32K/40K with 26N

    Go smaller ID And run a single between the posts! You're not limited to dual coil. Gah why does everyone assume that about 2 post atties...I'm running single coils in my Petri and my hobo lol. And I just got the cloud cap for my Petri. So single coil with extra airflow. The hobo could be anything you want really because of the way the posi post can rotate on the deck.
