Slip, what's the name of that wrap? How did it vape? Does it pop at all?

its a 'Staggered Fused Clapton'>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdC3-L77x7A

it vapes really frigging good, by far my favourite of the builds i've copied from him, if i was going to pick a build for a vape comp this would be it, and the flavour is so intense.

no it didnt really pop, only after a sleep period it was popping which seems to be normal for alot of builds.

EDIT: I changed the wicks and no popping just smooth and strong :)

I dont think there would be a lot of dif but i made mine with 24ga nichrome and 30ga A1 kanth, i first tried with 32ga A1 but it was really hard to tell if the wire was claptonning down parallel onto the mainwire, and seemed like to much of a challenge for the naked eye

another build i prefer over a lot of other's is the 'Juggernaut Coil'. not that it matters but this one is made by someone else>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCyfLuTQkrY
In the vid the guy shows you to put parallel wire's in a vise to be able to wrap your ribbon over the top but i did it the faster way as you would a fused clapton, so long as you start off with your ribbon trapped between the parallel wires inside the chuck.

And on my Jug Coil i used 0.9x0.1 ribbon on 2x 24g nichrome

Failing that my next favourite build is dual parallel sleeper, one nichrome one A1 kanthal. which turns it into a staged build.

Don't know what to call this, but it reminds me of anchor chain :p
It's 24 and 28 gauge twisted, then the results of that twisted together. Built it sleeper coil style around .2 ohm.
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

The coil I posted above doesn't quite rock as much as a Clapton.....but comes close, and takes about a tenth of the time to build :p
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

if you like a challenge make yourself a 'staggered fused clapton'... by far the hardest wire ive tried to make... i may try making more in a couple of week's when the skin on my thumb grows back :D
 
The Lancia with all 4 air holes opened up. I have the largest pistons installed. Im using 26 ga kanthal quad coils wrapped on 1/8" allen wrench. I used one piece of wire for each side, built in series but the middle leg in the positive post so it's parallel . The ohms sit at 0.19 giving me almost 93 watts on my mech mod. The heat flux (268 mW/mm2... a nice burnt orange color on steam engine) is a little cooler than I usually use , but the lancia is limited with air flow even with the chuff top. It still chucks some serious overcast while maintaining great flavor !

And here is my 26650 tohb running quads @.15ohms, 117 watts. Im using 24 ga in this build . It takes a while to ramp up with a heat capacity @56mj k , but the clouds start to flow after a few hits, and the nic buzz is off the charts, even with 3mg max vg juice. I can't hold this one too long or i have to strip and lay down lmao.

Ok. Slippy been on me for awhile. My first Clapton, but Infinity coil. Instead of using 1 strand I used 2 like the start of the Staggered Clapton. It was much easier to do 2 wires instead of 1. Not my prettiest coil but I tried. 24 ga with 28.

i've seen two names for that coil setup unless i'm confused, ive seen crazy8 aswell as infinity or is there a dif?

The only thing ive done close to that is something called a double barrel shotgun



:D HAhahaa dont take any notice of what i have it on, it was a sad time very long ago lol
