Edit: so Guess this is the staple coil, dang well its new to me! nvm the title im a scrublord

But this is 6 layers of .8 Ribbon Kanthal Claptoned with 36g Kanthal.

Pain in the .... to clapton and even worse to coil correctly, but its worth the effort, it Ramps up so quickly and produces amazing flavor and HUUUGE vapor production.
Let me know what you guys think.
the one coil there was the first one i tried to coil but didnt like the gaps so i had to recoil it the extra length of wire i had

Just saw the vid. Gotta say, just wow, people produce less from an exhale than that hing does in a split second. Bravo man.

Claptoning it was problematic because the shape is square and the edges are sharp so trying to get the wire tight around it was a nightmare?
the trick is to take your time with this one, you cant get impatient, clapton a lil bit then tighten it down. the real difficult part is coiling it. It wants to spin all out of shape you really have to put a lot of force into it to make it take proper shape. first build i made where the cloud production was waaay too much and too dense for long hits. after exhales i was still blowing out vape. but the air flow in the mutation is great for this.

Here's my Staple Clapton. 8 pieces of 0.5x1mm ribbon kanthal a1 stacked and wrapped in 36ga nichrome80. Didn't make a long enough piece for 6 wraps each so could only do 5 each. Came in a 0.133ohm on a 3mm bit and at 100w is an amazingly warm dense vape in my vector. I wrapped mine like Squidoode does with the layers going vertically.

The hardest part of this build for me wasn't the clapton, it was stacking the ribbon with my meat claws lol.
