(Quad coil) Dual parallel 3core fused clapton

[Dream-r]

Hello, i am quite new here, even to vaping, but wanted to share my yesterdays work after i gave up on cleaning my old clapton.

It is 3 core fused clapton arranged in triangle, not flat as usual, for more surface area, wrapped as usual with some spacing .
All wires are 0.22mm(32AWG) SS304.
Rated in this config @0.18R

Anyway, buffers insanely, huge clouds and taste is amazing, altho flavour i cannot judge as i have own mix of FA Forrest fruit mix and ... it was my first mix. But i like it, that´s what matters.
Works great in both temp and VW mode on my RX2/3.

If you have any tips or tricks i should know, feel free to tell me

It's staggering when you fuse spaced clapton in the gaps.
Full stagger:

Skip stagger:

The rest of the builders and I have gobs of advice, just ask. A normal stagger fuse can be done very easily. Feel free to PM.

Thanks, fixed the description. Except for that, what do you think? Any advices from pro-coiler?

 

[whiteowl84]

Lot's of advice. What would you like to know exactly?
To make a normal stagger fuse you can just clapton 2 wires half way then stretch it to the end and let it go. As you fuse it the fuse wire will keep pushing the spaced clapton up the wire. This doesn't work on staple staggered fused clapton though.

TBH, i was glad it´s something able to make clouds Most likely i will PM you for some advices i won´t get from YT. BTW the fusing you do by hand or made a tool for it? I am thinking about making some coil winder from scraps, disassamble some RC toys and ... play

I do everything with by hand. Clapton is easy to make and if you don't do that by hand it's going to make other builds requiring a steady hand and fluid movement harder to do.
For normal clapton and fused clapton you just hold the spool tight enough to keep the wire straight, hold the spool sideways, keep perpendicular to the wrap and stay about a foot from the core.
Fused clapton looks better when you use light tension and it's less prone to twisting.

Holding the spool ... might be a bit problem for me I read these advices, but as you can see, not as simple as it seems for you I will try in the evening and post results for further advices

Oh, then you need to cut off lengths of it. Or re-spool it with a drill.
When you claoton like that you just hold the wire with your pointer finger against the cores and putting tension on it with your thumb. You'll feel the clapton push your finger along

Clapton isn't the problem, made micro clapton of 32AWG(0.2mm), both core and winding yesterday. More likely i will have to figure out the ideal tension and angle for the spaced and flat ones to have material for more complicated builds... atm regulating the drill revs is bigger problem than claptoning... testing will begin in the evening, gonna disassamble aku drill for parts and make pro winder with button switch and simple speed regulation...
Thanks for the tips

I must say now that is a spool of wire. And I thought I had a big tool at 50 ft ni 80 wire lol

Well... would you rather:
A) buy tiny spools for 10€/$/Ł in lengths of 30/100/250ft
B) buy big spool for 10€/$/Ł where kilo(2.2 pounds) of for example 28AWG is 1,7km(about 1 mile)

Got contacts, so i always go for B All those in my profile pic are Kanthal wires, spools of 3-4kg

Wow that's crazy but true. Go big or go home

LOL that a life time of coils SWEET
