Proper coil...

[Ethan diy]

Hello...
Thank the forum for all the help.
I'm trying to find the right coil for my rta so far the only thing I've found that suits me is staple fused Staggered Clapton (26g+32g)*2+32g but thingtstarted using it and I'm afraid when I'm gonna heat it in order to clean it that it's gonna melt .. But anyway I'm just looking for a coil with a low resistance i guess so that i could push the watts up high(I like a stronger hit).and that i could heat for cleaning without it melting.. Like others have.
Would appreciate some recommendations if anyone has thx.

First off, you would have to really put the power to the coil to melt it. Just turn your wattage down at or below 50% of what you vape it at, and only pulse it until it glows, it doesn't have to light up like a lightbulb to clean itself. Just a dull red to orange glow will be enough to turn any gunk to ashes. If you still have some gunk left after it cools down, repeat the process until your satisfied.

Finding the coil that is right for you is a personal quest. The tips I can give you is to try different types of wire (ni80, ss316, ss317, k1, ect) and find the one you like best, and then worry about the wrapping techniques (Clapton, alien, staggered, ect). Stainless steel will ohm lower than the rest I mentioned, then nichrome, then kanthal.

You are not suppose to use high wattage to clean coils. Start low & don’t glow the coils, just gentle pulses, then gently brush off gunk, repeat until all the gunk is gone then rinse under running water, dry & gently pulse again until dry then rewick.

Amazing advice I didn't know that at all thank you..
BTW what do I use to brush the gunk off?

You can use your ceramic tweezers & gently strum or I buy these tiny atty cleaning brushes from Fasttech.
