Question is what mod are you using and what ohms. On my mechanical mod, I have it at 0.14 ohms with a dual coil clapton 24/30 gauge and it works like a dream. I may end up keeping this coil and mechanical mod married to each other. If you have only 26 gauge wire, you could try finding some 32 gauge nichrome and clapton the 26 gauge, and I would be willing to bet it would give you a much better effect than what you have.

Twisted 26 gauge is good, but now great. For the absolute flavor chasers out there, they probably tend to go for clapton everything. However, if you don't mind low ohms, you can always try a quad coil. According to steam-engine, 7.27 wraps per coil, quad coil would give you 0.15 ohms. I'd say try that for a test run.

Well as far as mods I have a cloupor gt ando an evic VT and an istick 50w. I mainly use it on the cloupor which says it can fire down to .1 but .3 is where I feel comfortable bc of battery safety and what not thanks for the reply I may try some Clapton coils idk. Out of all the builds iv done I liked the flavor from a regular dual coil build at like .5

Ok so mainly, your devices are all regulated. 0.3 - 0.5 ohms is where a lot of regulated devices like to shine. Generally what I've found is coils closer to 0.1 ohms get a bit hotter during the vape, but I am a mouth to lung hitter so I need them to heat up fast. As far as 0.3 ohms goes, on a regulated device there's not really a problem with that, or even 0.5 ohms which is a good point for most regulated devices. When building RBA sections for those, the only thing I ever really liked on my regulated devices were the claptons. I haven't had any other build really shine on any of my regulated devices but claptons so... I've tried twisted and just about anything my mind could conceive to put on the regulated, but claptons shine the most. If you're not a clapton type of person, I think that temperature control is really the next best thing, or even better to some peoples standards. The best part about Ni200 is you can make a spaced coil with only 4 and a half wraps and it will vape awesome. RDA, RTA, anything with a build deck can use temperature control, so I would definitely suggest it. But if you haven't tried a clapton yet, definitely check them out.

EDIT: Forgot to say, I like my claptons around 24-26 gauge wrapped with 30 gauge, but you can go higher gauge on the clapton wrap like 32 or 34. It's kind of a preference, 30 gauge will lead to bigger gaps and more surface area than anything smaller (duh) so just use your imagination I guess.

I actually went to buy some 30 gauge and my local b&m was out but they gave me about 6 feet in some sample bags and I built a dual twisted 30 at .5 ohms. Loving it great flavor and heats up super fast. Going to try a clapton next 26 wrapped with 30.


Yah I'd say try to look online or something for a roll of the stuff you know you're going to be using. If you keep buying from the store it will end up being more expensive in the long run, which for some of us who build coils all the time, would probably be about a week.

Yeah lol I usually get 30 feet for like 2.97 from myvaporstore.com but I didn't want to wait. And I build coils once a day lol
