Make sure your coil is as wide as the air hole, my first Clapton coil wasn't as wide and I got a lot of leaking. Like the juice was falling off the cotton and going down the airholes.Just got my MT RTA. Usually a pre-built coil man, but decided to go this way. Semi-wishing that I waited for a Mutank to come in stock but then I know I would just be lazy and use the pre-built heads. This is my first RTA. Anyone have any tips for building/wicking outside of really packing the channels with cotton?
My local Vape shop is really good about getting new stuff asap and they have them already for $40.Vapordna has them, twisted and Clapton coil options too, might buy both

The ratio varies as the diameter of wires: (Base Wire Diameter x Pi) of the small wire per each (Wrap Wire Diameter) length of base wire. 28/32, the wrap is about 4.6 times the length of the base wire. I haven't yet calculated the cost. Substantially less than $9 for 15 feet, I feel sure.That would be pretty cool. What is the cost of making your own Clapton wire per foot? I have no clue how much wire it takes but I'm sure it's a good bit for the outer wire

What wire and mod are you using? There's quite a few pics in this thread.Just got my MT RTA. Usually a pre-built coil man, but decided to go this way.

I am going to try this. Its 10.99 for 25ft.The ratio varies as the diameter of wires: (Base Wire Diameter x Pi) of the small wire per each (Wrap Wire Diameter) length of base wire. 28/32, the wrap is about 4.6 times the length of the base wire.

Mine is presently set up at .3 ohms, 28ga parallels, 5/4 wrap on a 3.5mm mandrel, that currently being the largest mandrel I have. I am considering getting a 4mm drill bit to get more wick in it. In any event, it hits like a cannon.Just got my MT RTA. Usually a pre-built coil man, but decided to go this way.

Sounds good. I buy my kanthal direct, but I use LV's Nickel200. They're good people.I am going to try this. Its 10.99 for 25ft.
Clapton Wire
Agreed, gonna probably get both, mutank for backup/lazinessMy local Vape shop is really good about getting new stuff asap and they have them already for $40.
I don't want to spend $5 a coil every other week when I can spend $15 on a roll of Clapton wire and a pack of cotton pads and build coils for 6 months in my rta and rda

Yeah, realized that after it was too late. SorryI mean, no one has one here yet.
Haha yes I am. Will let ya know for sure. Hope the griffin is nice. Wicking on it looks like the mt just the wick holes do not go all the way through. But looks super easyYou're becoming an RTA ....! Nicely done sir! I'm waiting for your assessment of that crius clone. Is it the Griffin?

Looks like they fit! Kool! My only concern is the screws you bought are steel & may rust! Keep an eye on them!!@haleysdadda are you sure that m2.5x4mm is the right size? these new screws are tiny compared to other grub screws i have for my derringer and freakshow mini rdas. I guess the only way to tell is by trying it out right? haha I was just waiting to finish my tank of juice before i did. Will post an update shortly.
Update: they fit like a charm and screw down nice and tight. HIGHLY recommend this to everyone with this RTA.![]()
