Ok, so... just made my first dual clapton coil.. got to say i'm not impressed.. It pops juice at you like crazy. Everytime i take a pull my tounge gets burnt with hot drops of juice! this is dissapointing..
Alright, vaped it dry and re-dripped. it must have been that i got juice directly on the coil, because i made sure not to get any on it this time..just on the wick and now its not that bad.. still get a few pops but not like beforeYup. I ran into the same issue on some attys. What did you put it in?

My first and probably last clapton coil.
Not worth the effort, IMO.
Yea, i put a clapton dual build in earlier today and have been vaping on it all day.. and honestly.. i miss my regular 24g builds lol. Clapton seems to have all this hype and i dont know why. To me the clouds seem puney compared to a regular build, like whispy or something lol. Maybe i'll get a different gauge clapton wire and try it..I was wondering where the RDA in my avatar went
I agree about clapton (I just want to call them rotowound coils... I'm over calling them claptons) coils and mech use, naked wire is a lot better.
I do have one exception, though. I have a 26/32 rotowound dual coil in my derringer right now. It is my only kanthal equipped RDA at the moment. 4/5 wraps, 2.3 mm, comes out to .26 ohms. Rips on a mech. You can get rotowound coils to perform on mech, you just have to build them thoughtfully.

Flavor isn't any better than naked wire, and I feel vapor production is the same. Complex coils look nice, but naked is quicker, easier, doesn't have any real drawbacks, and has quicker reaction time to power and cools off quicker as well.
I'll keep this coil build in here until I decide the wire is unusable.
If you get enjoyment from making coils out of your coils so you can coil while you are coiling (dawg), then have at it, just don't feel like you will convince me the vape is noticeably different.
the radiant heat production and the wicks overall surface area and surface area to volume ratio have more of an effect than coil surface area. (dawg)
What Tank is that? pretty nice lookin
