Hey guys. I have some UD clapton wire coming in the mail along with one hit wonder e liquid bundle and a subtank mini. I have never tried fancy coils or anything. I always do just simple dual coils with 24 or 22 gauge. But I wanted to try clapton coils. The UD premade clapton wire is 26 claptoned with 32 I think. Has anyone tried this wire? Whats a good build with it. I was thinking of doing maybe 6 wraps on 3 mm. I like clouds so I wish it was 24gauge to be lower resistance but oh well

Wow. No posts? I use this wire and it is good to me. Some people have said theirs is dirty, but mine was fine. No tips but to try various approaches.
The kid at the vape shop wanted to try that wire so I bought a dark horse and let him build a dual Clapton setup in it.. There is a little ramp up time but it works great. I was also curious if I'd like Clapton coils before I decide to dive into making them myself, and I think I will.
I love the UD Clapton; it's very versatile, reliable, and mine came clean after a dry burn or two. I find it's perfect for when you want to do a more complex build with Clapton wire but don't have a drill or the patience to make it yourself. For instance, I just did a double twisted wrap with that and two 24g nichrome wires, 3 wraps on a 3/8" bit, clocking in at 0.09ohms. Their wire is great for super sub ohming.

I got some of this, its a good vape but dual 6 wraps on a 2.4mm bit @ 4.8v still has an annoying amount of ramp up time
I tried this wire, the guy at the vape shop just gave me a foot or so. I don't see the huge benefit. It is relatively easy to use and wrap. The outside diameter of a coil is greatly enhanced due to the thickness of the wire itself, so you have to have a roomy build deck. There is a ramp up time that can be compensated for with high Wattage, but the cool down time is just as much of a killer.
My 2 cents, glad I didn't buy it, and I most likely wont.

I have some and love it. It was an impulse buy at a B&M when I was out of town.
Coils very easily and burns great. Those complaining abound ramp up must not be giving it enough power. Its not a low wattage wire. I run 80w for a 5 wrap single coil. For doubles, its gotta be 100w+.
I wouldnt do anything fancy out of the gate. One thing to make sure of is cutting the legs. If you have a deck that has a propencity of cutting, dont use this. It will jack it up and wont fire right. My mutation x V3 is a great example. Cant run this wire cause it always seems to cut the legs and short it out. As long as you can get some solid connections, youll be fine. 6 wraps might be a bit much depending on your deck. 2 post would be fine. In you have a 3 or 4 post design you could run out of room fairly quick.

Tried a sample from the vape shop. Built dual coils for my Plume Veil. Came out to around .18 OHMS. Doesn't fit my vaping style, found out real quick that you have to put the serious power to it or the ramp up time is a killer.
