    Interlocking Clapton Coil That Wraps Itsef

    Oh you mean the chips clip thing? I was wondering about that. Need to get one. Hand feeding my claptons is getting a bit old. If only it would work on fused claptons

    Interlocking Clapton Coil That Wraps Itsef

    Awesome build. Just out of curiosity, how does it wrap itself?

    Clapton Coil question

    I have no clue. I found them in a little box in my bug-out bag.

    Weirdest experience in a vape shop?

    I got a doozy for all you veterans. Today, I walked into my local shop to get some of my usual element pure tobacco juice. After I bought it, I asked the guy behind the counter, who owns the shop, if there was a regulated mod available, like my Wismec RX200, but with longer battery life. To...

    I managed to find one on Amazon. Apparently it's a "hollow wire vise". Now if only I had the money to order one lol

    What is that thing on the end of the drill, and where did you get it? I tried searching wire vise, wire gripper, etc. Found nothing that looked like that. Edit: Sorry about the double post. Not sure how to add one reply to an already existing post

    Just got my 28 gauge nichrome 80 in the mail. Made about 7-8 inches of fused clapton with the 40 gauge nichrome 80. Did 7 wraps at 3mm. About to install it on my atty3 RDA, pictures to follow if all goes well.

    Weirdest experience in a vape shop?

    My local shop has a MASSIVE greyhound, who will pin you against the counter when you go to pay. They also have one of those purse dogs that's small enough to stand on the palm of your hand. It must see the greyhound as we would see a T-Rex

    How do you people take such ridiculously close up photos? Seriously? There's a macro setting on my phone's camera, but it doesn't work very well.

    New to rba's

    Try some twisted clapton wire. I was able to get 2x28 gauge with 32 gauge wrap into my Kanger Subtank. Works pretty good, although it recently started leaking for no apparent reason. Tanks are a bit of a pain when it comes to rebuilding, I find. You can have one that works great, and then, out...

    I'll keep that in mind. Now if only my 28 gauge Nichrome 80, and the spool tamer thing could get here tomorrow. One thing I LOVE about this 40 gauge nichrome 80, is that if you let go of the loose end of the spool, it just sits there. No spring loaded unwinding like with Kanthal. That's a HUGE...

    Well, my order of 500ft. of Nichrome 80. Made a fused clapton. 2x28 gauge Kanthal, wrapped with the 40 gauge Nichrome 80. Sorry for the crummy image. That's the best I know how to do with my HTC oneM8. My thoughts? Damn this thing has some flavor. Not because of the material I don't think...

    A challenge.

    Yes it is. Which I assume is why it is a P.I.T.A to try and coil it.

    A challenge.

    Well, I don't know if this belongs in Coil Builds, or Wick and Wire, but I have a challenge for everyone. I call this hulk wire (although hulk claptons would be good). It is 2, 22 gauge wires claptoned with 28 gauge wrap. I made a foot of it, and have never managed to actually coil it, without...

    Geekvape Griffin RTA!

    I find that larger gauge claptons tend to last longer, and taste better. The biggest I was ever able to make (as in, I could actually wrap them without the wrap wire coming off) was two 22 gauge kanthal cores with 28 gauge kanthal wrap I still have the wire, but you'd need hulk strength to...

    Geekvape Griffin RTA!

    I've been doing 2x28/30 gauge claptons and they seem to work fairly well. Although I did just order some 28 gauge nichrome 80 and a 500 foot roll of 40 gauge nichrome 80. I cannot wait to try out some fused claptons with that. I've been using Kanthal up until now. But I want something with...

    Geekvape Griffin RTA!

    I want the new 25mm Griffin, but I have no monies for it. :cry: At least I have the original. Which is still about a billion times better than my old Kanger or Zephyrus V2

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    My new local vape shop turned me on to Element pure tobacco. I have NEVER encountered anything as close to a good cigarette analogue. Like all of them, it's not perfectly similar in taste and feel, but it is the closest. Mix it with a TINY bit of Element Frost Menthol, and you can come very...
