A little update on my progress. Got my Hannya rda in Saturday, built my first ever coils today using clapton 34/24 wire. Diameter is 2.5 and six wraps. Ended up with .34 Ohms and this thing puts out some vapor. Here is a picture of the coils :)

Well I decided to pass on the ML. I just wouldn't use it's ability. All I use is Ti and unless something amazing comes up that's what I'm going to stick with. I always use the same coil cause it works so good. So what would I do with all those settings. And if something amazing does come up I have manual TCR anyway.

Nice work. I'll have to pull the trigger on the spool of Clapton on my wish list at vapor DNA. My first ever RDA will be arriving soon.

Thank you! It took me one wasted coil that I cut the legs to short on and probably a hour of total time including clean up and putting things back up. But it was a great experience and best of all they worked!

I am going to order the 36/26 for my LEMO2 next.

I've been enjoying clapton coil since I got my TFV4 attys from the coop. I have only seen the clapton coils in vids and thought another gimmick and paid no attention. They vape great, the valleys in the outer wire are like juice channels that just pump vape. I'm now building them, still need more practice but getting the tension down good. Making 26/30 and 28/32 cause I need to have the coil fire my provari, but .5 clapton subtank build on a istick50 can go through juice like crazy.. but worth it. I couldn't afford commercial juice using claptons but with my DIY juice....bring it on. :)

3 hrs ago I rewicked my tfv4 single & slapped on some o rings from ebay to stop the leaking. Seems to be working, drinks juice like vampire!!

I just ordered a spool of the clapton & the double twist to try on this beast & my crown tank.

Been reading about a few of the recent Hover Board incidents - most are occurring when someone grabs it out of the charger and immediately uses it or drains the battery and then immediately plugs them in for a recharge...

I wonder how long it will be before proper lithium ion battery precautions become common place???

Great job!! Did you use a coil master, or does the clapton coil wire not fit in those?

Nice work. I'll have to pull the trigger on the spool of Clapton on my wish list at vapor DNA. My first ever RDA will be arriving soon.
