No biggie, thanks for your help by the way. So, what is this business about Clapton coils? What does it do? How do you build it? Am I jumping the gun? Should I stick to finding the right single coil for me first? Or is this not too advanced?Ah, sub tank plus I AM familiar with.... Didn't catch the acronym

It's a difficult build the first few times, not recommended for beginners, the frustration curve would be too high 
But if you are daring and handy, its an amazing build. It's a smaller gauge wrapped around a straight piece of larger gauge. For the sub tanks 32 gauge around 28 gauge works great.
For you to start, I would suggest a simple macro coil using 26 gauge... Something like 6 wraps on a 3mm ID (larger id's will wick a bit better). The trickiest part on the will be the wicking.... We have learned that the less is more theory doesn't work well on the sub tank. Pack the coil fairly tight, then thin out the tails a bit.
As far as the Clapton, there are some good tutorial videos on YouTube, just search Clapton coil

Also, do you know what kind of effect a drip tip with airflow control would have? Would it reduce the flavor, or just cool the Vape down?
I haven't used one so I don't know their effect on flavor, but they will cool down the vape... But you might not need that if going higher ohm
1st build in my STP. .7ohm. 9 wrap. No clue what gauge wire this is. Hits like a freight train. So much flavor. Reminds me of my RDA. Will post pics after I finish this tank and clean it up.

Addendum
If this thing has a long ramp up time, how do I stop that? Apply more Voltage?

Vapes like a dream. Figure out how to compensate for the long ramp up time, I blow back through my tank (similarly to an RDA) and not only does that fix the ramp up time, it also seems to eliminate any spitting or gurgling I was getting.

Can't show a pic, but there's a .15 ohm twisted 30 ga ni200 spaced coil build in mine right now...
I've found a new very versatile build. 24ga, 9 wraps around a 3mm mandrel, Japanese sheet cotton, boosted juice I think is 60/40. Vaping fine all the way up to 95w so far. Doesn't really shine in clouds or flavor, but it's above par for both. Definitely a lot better than occ coils
Do one of these... Flavor for days

What you got in there to vape it at 67watts? I haven't touched my subtank in months. I felt like even vaping at 30 watts the airflow is too restricted for me to enjoy it now that I'm used to rdas.
