I sold a car to get away from buying car parts. Had a real nice Subaru that after 7 years (and way too much money), I finally got it where I wanted it to be. I guess all the tickets I would get for suspension and exhaust weren't as important as making sure my child was safe and I could afford to feed her lol.
Man, I got no time to build Claptons! LOL. But I do have time to wrap them around a drill bit! hhahaha. I will build them one day, but not until after I get done with a few things in my near future. This is like an $8 roll here. You wrap lota Clapton, long time.
Isn't that just a great feeling?? I'm never on the winning end of these sort of things though... "Get an MVP 2.0, it's built like a tank!" 2 months later it takes a drop and dies completely. The next MVP 2.0 I bought is still going, but the 510 threads stripped in 3 months lol. Gave it to a friend with a Protank mini 2.
In other news, I will be receiving a Nixon RDA in the mail tomorrow!! I'll report back with pics... maybe even a scandal!
Here's to hoping it's two post. Maybe it'll be two post and top down airflow, a man can dream. I got some of the UD Clapton wire and it's great but it's just not the same as making your own. Only problem being is I always end up destroying my fingers making claptons. I've tried those jigs but still not as good as doing it by hand and trying to push just a bit more as the wire bores into your fingers.
My rule of thumb is that the higher gauge wire adds so much mass that current doesn't travel through it as much as the core. Instead it is heated from the inside out. I haven't touched steam engine in a while because I use regulated devices with a low build limit, but I would venture a guess it wouldn't be far off from a standard coil of the same internal gauge wire wraps and diameter.
