Ti Spaced Clapton :) Made it myself with Dual 24 cores & 32 gauge outer warping.
It may not be as perfect as store bough Clapton, but no-one makes them.
With my new jig the next one will be perfect :)
I really didn't get the whole Clapton Thing! Till I made one out of Ti :)
It ohms out @ .12 & hits like a freight train! So much for my battery life conservation.

Steamer, have you had any issues with slow leaks or the like? My Pharaoh rda does, but I've eliminated most of that with PTFE tape...sadly, it's been relegated to being used mostly @ home.

While rinsing out the 'Mizer Supreme last night, I almost lost the SPARE set of AFC ring pins. So, the Pharaoh rta is now being considered; if I had a black or dark blue mod, I'd totally get the gold one!

Not at all :) So far the Pharaoh RTA has been problem/leak free. As of now it's my #1 atty :)
My only problem now is the Ti Clapton is out performing all my other Ti coils.
Not just marginally, way better! it ramps up instantly!
When I ordered the 32 gauge, I wasn't sure it was going to work well, so I only got a little.
Now I'm waiting on more for my outer wrapping wire.
I plan on trying the same kind of Single Ti Clapton coil in my postless deck Supreme's 25mm & Plus's
If it works like it does in the Pharaoh, It will be a giant step up :)
BTW if you get the Pharaoh I wouldn't bother with any other decks.
I got the #2 deck(dual coil) & will probably never use it again!
The single coil deck it comes with, with a big Clapton is as good as it gets for me :)
I have a second one coming in Black 27.24 from CVapor 28.41 in Black @ FT 30.99 in Black @ vapenw

You all make this sound tempting, I just have a hard time getting past the "sponsor"......
Funny you mention that. I watched a video, an Italian reviewer, made fun of RT being the designer.
He said digiflavour paid him 10 or 15 G's to use his name & he did nothing for it!
Probably not far from the Truth.

What the hell?? They just said they (the FDA) meet with the FAA and instructed them on what and how to check for ecig battery's. What the hell, how does the FDA have authority over the FAA and why is the FDA even involved with regulating electronics? It's all about banning ecig's unless they are made and sold by BT. FUFDA!!!

This is a topic I have been vocal about for years, including here on ECF.

Battery mishaps, while mostly due to user ignorance and mishandling, are probably the single most damaging things to the public perception of vaping. The Press loves to make a big deal out of it, and its just fodder for the FDA types.

Battery issues arent unique to Ecigs, just ask Samsung, but vape batteries have long been relatively unprotected and are easily misused. We are putting huge energy densities in the hands of people who are ignorant to the potential consequences. Vape Batteries need to be idiot proofed, much like the cell phone, cordless tool, laptop, and other industries have done.

I just heard them say "there a lot of renegades out there"........
I resemble that remark!

"It's scary to see all these people making their own ecig device"
"It's scary to see the 18650 battery is the choice for ecig devices"

He keep's using the term "these renegades" when talking about people making their own mods. This is making me madder then hell, don't think I can watch much more of this crap.

And he makes it sound like everyone is cutting up laptop battery's to the cells, who the hell does that when 18650's are so cheap and widely available?

Not any more, but there was a day when I used to take apart Craftsman tool batteries. The thing is that those tool batteries dont have the continuous current draw we need nowadays.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Problem is the same thing happened with lawn mowers when some idiot ran over his foot, while wearing a sandal. It was the fault of the lawn mower. Now we have to hold a clutch handle to engage the blade the whole time we are mowing and there's an annoying flap hanging on the back. All this to solve the problem of running over your own foot through carelessness or stupidity. Our tax dollars hard at work, costing us even more in the end.

Another example "Caution becomes hot while operating" warning signs placed on a clothes iron. DUHHHHH!
