I've been using Clapton's exclusively in my kayfun ever since I first tried one. This is the first time I've tried it on my sub tank, and I am very pleased with the results. The flavor is worth the effort

I agree. They are tedious to build but worth every second. My current fused are 2 strands 26ga nichrome80 paralleled then wrapped with 32ga kanthal. I'm glad I made extra hehe.
Do you have trouble wrapping Claptons after a certain length? Like 50% of the time, I don't have issues making a Clapton and others --- what a pain in the .... It overlaps, or it's not very tight, etc.
Any suggestions?
sometimes my hand cramps from holding the wire while its spinning and it might gap a little, but other than that, i can get a consistent wrap all the way down the length as long as i get the right speed on the drill.
my first try at spaced coils, dual 24g @ .22ohms vaping some green tea mixed with fruit menthol
I'm not sure but I think I'm getting more flavor from spaced, due to more surface area with the wick, am I right or just placebo???

Forgot the glow pic
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.
Love it! How many ohms did that come out to?
Lil 10/9 gplat build that ohm'd out to .3 or so. Put it on my BF Odin. Squonking with the beloved Wokonda. Dayum fine vape.
Looks great. Tuck in all your little loose wick hairs with a tiny flat head screwdriver and form your wicks a little bit if you want. I use compressed coils as they don't get as hot as a spaced coil. Your wraps could be a hair tighter in other words when you are winding around your mandral make sure to get as tight a spiral as possible onto the mandral. Try different things, compressed, different spacings. Great start.my first try at spaced coils, dual 24g @ .22ohms vaping some green tea mixed with fruit menthol

The trick is figuring out the right pressure to pinch the wire you are wrapping to the straight wire too loose and you get either a loose wrap or overlap, too tight and the straight wire will twist. Once you get that down it gets easy
Some fused claptons. Two 26ga nichrome 80 paralleled then wrapped with 32ga kanthal. 2.5mm. Dual coil on the derringer came out to 0.14ohm and single coil on the subtank mini came out to 0.25ohm. Both are kicking some serious flavor at low wattages with quick heat up.

I loved the flavor but couldn't stand the popping noise, it was too much so went back to regular contact coils

You don't actually get more surface area contact, you get more wick inside the coil, so more juice inside the heating area.... Higher chance of spitting

technically you do get a bit more surface area...
for example on contact coils your wick is just touching lets say 60% of the inner circumference of the wire as the next wire prevents the wick to "hug" a bit more circumference of the coils, with spaced ones your wick is free to hug a bit more of each individual loop thus giving you more surface area
