Clapton Wire or Premade Clapton Coils

[Visivicous]

I vape MTL. Currently, I use an Aspire Plato with a Triton Mini 1.8 ohm clapton coil.

I'd like to try a high ohm clapton build in my old Kanger Toptank rta. The build deck is so small, I figure I'd build a micro coil.

Any suggestions on where I could buy some clapton wire which would be good for building a 1.8+/- ohm micro coil? Or perhaps even some premade micro clapton coils in that resistance range that could fit the build deck of the toptank?

The pre made coils are readily available. But getting one to fit under the screws and on the deck is going to be hard with the Tanktop.

Probably easier just to twist 2 strands of AWG 30 or 32 together yourself.

clapton isnt very good at microcoils because by definition it's really thick. I like @Beamslider's idea of doing a twisted dual instead. You'll have to twist it yourself, probably, and it still might be too unwieldy for a microcoil.

exotic wrap + microcoil just doesn't go that well together

All depends on the wire you use. Example I'll spin up every now and again a 34x2/44 fused Clapton for my Tootie Puffers when in the mood.

40+ Wire is thinner than hair though and quite hard to work with. I'm not sure sending a new wire wrapper in that direction is a kindness

No it's not but saying Claptons aren't good for micro-coils is a false statement. They work wonderfully as micro-coils.

To get a 1.8 ohm clapton coil to fit in the subtank deck with those screws he is going to have to use some pretty small wire to make them.

It's been quite awhile, but I remember my go to build was 3 id 3 wrap spaced clapton; was probably 26/30g single core. I don't remember Ω, do remember 15.3w was a great vape. Won't look like it will fit, it does.

Yes and I'm sure there is a coil maker out there that can do it. He did mention buying pre-made coils.

Maybe that there are some that make them but I think a 1.8ohm clapton precoiled for RBA is going to be extremely hard to find. I don't see any in that range on fasttech or elsewhere. Doubt there is much demand. The premade ones in that range all seem to be entire coil.

Nope Fasttech certainly won't have them but then again pre-made coils from Fasttech are crap. If you're going to get pre-made coils there are a lot of people who make custom coils.

The vape shops around here that used to make coils for people now don't. They have put up signs saying they can no longer do it under deeming rules from FDA. They may be wrong but that is what they are doing.

Yeah that's a bunch of BS, all they need to do is get a manufacturer license. My local B&M has one and they are blessed to do builds. Doesn't cost much, just some jumps and hoops they need to do. I give them my practice coils and they don't charge for building or for the coils I supply them for free. It brings in a fair amount of customers who in turn become loyal customers who buy their house line juice.

B&M's need to realize that customer service is what brings people in and justify the B&M tax. That is the only way that they can compete with online.

They can do whatever they want unless they get caught. Just because the FDA might not be fully enforcing things doesn't mean it is okay to do. Getting a manufacturing license is both expensive and hard. You also need to submit what you manufacture for approval. It is not as simple as applying and paying for a license.

Here are vape shop deeming regulations. A read of them seems that the local vape shops are correct.

As far as cheap. I doubt he will find a vape shop near him willing to make one for free or less than $20. He can try but doubtful. The fact that 1.8 ohm clapton coils for RTAs are not to be found for sale on the net from either china or the us probably means they are not being offered in retail packaging. Further complicated by the small size and tight screws in Subtank along with the legs needing to be in opposite directions not the same.

And the Manufacturer requirements are here, not so simple.

As I stated jumps and hoops, my favorite local B&M did it.

There is a guy on Ebay who handmakes lovely coils of different types. His stock is labeled for resistance and he will raise or lower the resistance if you ask. He has a great deal going on now (buy two packages and a third free, shipping is free) and his coils are well priced, to begin with. I like making my own but want some hard to roll ones and am thinking of ordering of him. He has 99.8% positive ratings.

He has a website with the same deal and it is easier to look at his lovely coils.

Just a thought for hard to roll coils. I have never ordered from him and have no relationship but thought he might be worth a try.
