I have always known claptons used more power to run than round wire. Simple physics, more wire = more power consumption. I am not trying to say that isn't true. What I wanted to know is how much less efficiently do they run.
I always found opinions on it, which made it hard to find anyone that actually tested it and got real results. So I made an unofficial test of my own. I built a clapton and a round wire build. Triple core 28g with 40g wrap. Then I built the same coil minus the 40g wrap (triple wire parallel coil). Ohms were very close, 0.31 and 0.30.
I ran both coils for 5 cycles. Each cycle was 6ml of juice, same bottle was used, was filled with a syringe. I measured the voltage left in the batteries each cycle. Batteries used were 5 brand new Samsung 25S batteries. Batteries were used in the same order for both coils. Ran them at 45w on a DNA chip.
Clapton cycles (voltage remaining in battery)
1- 3.66v
2- 3.62v
3- 3.65v
4- 3.64v
5- 3.61v
Round wire cycles (voltage remaining in battery)
1- 3.77v
2- 3.74v
3- 3.75v
4- 3.75v
5- 3.73v
So it seems for each cycle I was averaging about 0.11v more power used running claptons. The round wires are getting better battery efficiency, clearly. Though, I was kind of expecting a bigger difference in battery consumption the way they are talked about. I always hear that claptons use a lot more power than round wire. I know my testing was not perfect and in a fully controlled scientific way, but I don't vape in a fully controlled scientific way so I thought this info would be more relevant to my real world use.
Vapor production was too close to tell a difference. Flavor was slightly better on the clapton (in my opinion, with the equipment and juice i used). Ramp up felt the same to me but I'm assuming there was a minor difference, but they were so close that it was just unnoticeable without tools to measure it.
I was wondering if anyone else has done something similar and if so, if they could share their info on it i would greatly appreciate it.
