28g as the core. I always use 36g as my wrap. The higher the better right? I think 36g is the perfect balance between flavor and ramp up for me.

hey jj but you could go bigger id lesser wraps higher power and still hit nice flav, but then thats just the way i run cus i use mechs 
step up your ratio's
hey Tom thats dedication! 1k ft of 40g hehe you're gonn a have some fun

Slippy what you mean step up my ratios? That's the thing, I did a lesser wrap (6 wrap) 2.4mm (or 3?) ID 26/36g KA1 fused clapton dual in my El Cabron for the purpose of using on a mech. I only built it to use on my Castigador clone but I found the flavor was noticeably lacking compared to what I'm used to. It came out to like 0.17 ohms. With fresh batteries it should of been hitting 80-100 watts. I'm used to using 8 wrap 26/36 2 (or 2.4mm) ID fused claptons at 70 watts on my sigelei. The flavor is much better to me like that.hey jj but you could go bigger id lesser wraps higher power and still hit nice flav, but then thats just the way i run cus i use mechs

OK so the whole thing with the guessing with the ID is because of this: I have two sets of precision screwdrivers. I have a yellow Stanley set and a silver Herco? set. The 2.4mm Herco is the exact same size as the 2mm Stanley. The 2.4mm Herco is same as the 3mm Stanley. I don't know which is right lol.

You mentioned flavour drop with a bigger id, i was just muttering to myself more power captain
I got 1000ft because it's probably going to take me about 30 feet of 40g per 2 feet of fused Clapton not to mention all the mistakes I'm going to make when I first start with it, what have I gotten myself into?! Haha it should be funhey jj but you could go bigger id lesser wraps higher power and still hit nice flav, but then thats just the way i run cus i use mechs

Just think how good your gonna get
... you'll prob get that good you can afford to take a snooze as you start your 2ft, i know it takes quite a bit longer to wrap even with 0.1mm(38g) i havent got it in me to go any thinner than that.On another note! wire is cheap in the USA compared to here in the UK, it seems that people that sell it here just change the dollar sign to a pound sign and thats what you pay...
how much can you get 100metre n80 22g for? $17.85 before postage here
it takes the piddle! I source mine from somewhere else where i can get 3x more but i bet you can still beat that?
Slippy, have you been using SS for a while? I'm interested to know how it is. Does it appear to change after dry burning? Any metallic taste? So you used one strand SS and one strand N80 for the core?Fused
24g SS317
24g n80
32g n80
0.08
as good as anything else ive vaped

Yeah i've used it from time to time jj, i've used it since the days of it being called G-plat, back then when i tried it the first few time's i did taste something different to A1 but it's the same when i first tried n80 or Ti after vaping A1 for so long, you eventually get used to it, same can be said for the wicks we use jj even cotton at first has a funny taste for a while.
I'm not sure about it changing after a dry burn, only the colour go's blue then after a few glow's it go's to a dull colour.
One strand SS317 & one n80 inside a shell of 32g n80, just thought i'd give it a whirl as i've tried n80 & A1 together like this before and when it heats up it has i staged process where one will heat up before the other. i havent observed the n80's & SS317's heating sequence but at a guess not much in it.

I was just thinking of trying a build like this yesterday. I have a .... ton of SS316L sitting around and love some fused claptons. If only I had a regulated mod that would fire down past 0.1 lol. Might try it with some 26ga this weekend.
You def need to fuse if you use SS as a core that stuff is so dang soft. First time it was just a disaster, then i twisted it with either 28 or 30 then wrapped with 32 i believe...
I've used 316L in single core claptons in the past, just have to turn the wattage down because of the ramp up time. I used to use it exclusively on mech mods.
I have too, its just a pain to use it by itself as a core because its so soft.
It's just unknown by a lot of people. The resistance is much lower than kanthal, hell, even lower than Nichrome. It is super soft, but using 24ga is easy to get the hang of.
ive never looked for it but maybe the way to go would to be to get the SS317 in say 32g to clapton around something, like A1 & n80
as ive said ive nvr looked so dont know if you can get SS in 32

What about durability? Do you find they last at least as long as Nichrome? I really am curious as to the oxidation that occurs when dry burning it. If it's deemed safer than Kanthal it seems like a win in virtually every department.ive never looked for it but maybe the way to go would to be to get the SS317 in say 32g to clapton around something, like A1 & n80
