Core-"In" Clapton Build

[CasketWeaver]

Ok first thing's first - I like my Clapton coils, but what I didn't like was the higher resistance builds. So I think I cured my Clapton mishaps (busted wire, hot spotting, etc.) and I had a brain meltdown, so I came up with the core-in method. Basically, I built a Clapton coil with 26AWG wire wrapped around 20AWG wire, installed, clipped, wicked, and juiced my build... and this is what it came out to .2 Ohms. Carries the warmth of the 20AWG wire, vapes like a Clapton, and is an option for clouds, flavor, and single coil lovers... takes awhile to break in though. I DID NOT remove the 20AWG wire from the coil and the 20AWG wire is STRAIGHTENED PRIOR TO COILING but here you go:





And yes, it's still hotter than a freshly !@#$ed fox in a forest fire.

For those of you who want to try this - a friendly tip - torch ALL of your wire after straightening. I noticed the hot metal taste or off taste goes away if your torch everything.

Thanks for the tips.

nice, a little cold for me though, might have to try some 22g nic claptoned on 20g kant to see what i'm missing, i see a lot of people using thicker gasuges for the clap recently

Wait, you were removing the core of a Clapton? There was no reason to do that in the first place....just sayin.

Didn't even notice that part. Good catch.

I was actually thinking about removing the core on my next Clapton, but yeah - 'core-in' is technically what a Clapton is supposed to be, right?

Yes.

you could even just split the wires coming off the ends of the coil and insert them into the posts side by side as you would a parallel build, this would send current through both the core and the clapton, as in a staged build where one lights up quicker than the other, you will also lower the ohms making it a hotter build.
A normal clapton where the core and the outside wire are twisted along the legs and inserted into the posts this way will have current running through the core wire as its a lower resistance, and will totally ignore the clapton wire on top which will normally just heat up from the cores heat.

Lol!
