My Hand Wound Clapton Coils

[UlkaHuren]

I fitted my Boreas V2 with dual core clapton coils. SS 316L 26g/32g at 0.12 ohms. I have the Polar set to 70W at 210°C. I wanted to bring that tank as close to the mesh Cascade tank. It’s quite big improvement!

I’ve never used the fancy wires other than making twisted, so I decided to try making clapton wire and the first try came out very servicable. There’s a small imbalance between the coils, but not enough to hurt it.

The left one looks much tidier but I must say I'm impressed, that must take ages by hand!

Thanks. Those coils were a bit much on power and battery draining so I wound some smaller ones that came out much better. You have to use a drill to wind the wire together. The tedious part is holding the tension and wire angle just right.

Very nice progress from the first to the second set.

Yeah, the second set is looking much tidier I thought by hand made you meant you sat there twisting it all without any power tools haha!

Well I settled on single core 26-32 clapton wire as working best for my Boreas and Troll at 0.21 ohm in TC mode. I really can’t refine that delta point down more than that. It totally blows away the twisted coils I’ve made forever. While listening to a murder mystery I spun off about 4 feet to have on hand with my Makita. Made my hands cramped too.
