Blame it on Cigatron, he told me the finer the wrap, the better the flavor, so I had to test out the theory.
Fused Clapton, dual 26g TI, wrapped in SS316 40g, working great in TC using standard TI TFR.
I was surprised when I looked it up in Steam Engine, seems the core strands are what really count towards the TFR, not so much the wrap. Flavor is pretty good and seems to be improving as coil breaks in.
Used a drill, vise, fishing swivel, and a spool minder. Had to loosen spool minder a bit more than usual as that 40g breaks easy. Pulsed it a bit to work the hot spots out of the SS before wicking and was good to go. Seems the wrap itself can have a hot spot or two until pulsed.
My friends call me Cig and yes I did say the finer the wrap the better the flavor. Thing is, most peeps stop at 38g because anything smaller is too difficult to see and it takes miles of wire to wrap a pair of coils. Personally I didn't detect a flavor change moving from 38g to 40g. Moving from 38g down to 36g I didn't really detect a change either but it's one of those things where going from great flavor to maybe? slightly less great flavor is impossible for me to detect. Nothing scientific, I just didn't detect enough flavor change to justify the cons using wire gauges smaller than 36.
If you're happy with 40g that's all that really matters.

I dunno, DR. The amount of silicon on both the bottom of the 510 and the top of the battery cap look like it would prevent a short and I didn't see any signs of potential shorts even looking with a jewelers loupe. Mine doesn't fire, the screen just lights up like it did fire so maybe it is firing for a very short time. Beats me.
On the other hand, I have a Bachelor on the K1, like to use single coils on a DNA75, and the center pin does stick out a little so, maybe, that could be the problem. I haven't had any SHORTED messages appear though. Next time I take it apart I will put some kapton tape up there just to be safe and might change the wiring out to silicon and up the gauge although I don't vape at very high power. Just the Clark Grizwald effect in me.
I've made 28ga Ti/34ga SS316L fused and 26ga Ti/34ga SS316L fused Clapton wires...the latter is pretty bad@$$.
Maybe I'll wrap a single 26ga Ti wire with 34 ga SS316L, cut it in half, then fuse them together with the 40ga SS316L...hmmm...

Look up "Staggered fused claptons".
Or if you are felling really adventurous "Stapled staggered fused claptons".
Or.....

Some people seem to have too much time on their hands. Makes me glad twisted is as far as I have gone. How 'bout chainmail claptons.
Now that would make some SERIOUS clouds 
I saw the eclipse but it wasnt a full eclipse here in DC. I was fishing that day and I saw a whole bunch of people with their boats anchored up together getting drunk. Kind of weird, some of them were swimming in the river too.

Did the fish start biting? Wonder if they were fooled into thinking it was evening, feeding time.
