A recommendation from @Silver1 and it works greatView attachment 899607

Very interesting. I only used Claptons a few times--when they came with an atty and in Kanger Subtank mini coils. Don't know how I feel about them. I never built one and know nothing about Clapton (fused?) gauges. Are these the thinnest of the Claptons?

    There's others, but this is a dual core(32x2-38). You get single cores,but not sure if available in the same brand

    Claptons are a mystery to me. I've been perfectly happy with single wire coils so far, but maybe, some day, I'll do some research.

    For one, there is a difference in flavour. There's other coils people rave about ,but this works for me right now. I might get a spool of Clapton DL wire in the future to try.

    I've been using clapton coils in my MTL tanks for around 5 years, I get 36/28 clapton wire from lightening vapes, wrap them myself, 6 wraps on a 2.5mm bit comes out to around 1.5 ohms, get a great warm flavorful vape at 20 watts.

    I can't go back to single wire, the flavor is just so much better with the clapton, even for MTL vaping, do have to give clapton more power, but they are worth for me.

    That is considered mtl Clapton wire yes. I started using Claptons when AVS was having some kind of closeout, clearance sale. They had a bunch of pre made Fused Clapton coils for .99 cents a 10 pack... I loaded up, still have a bunch and love them tons... they do amp up the flavor due to the greater surface area...

    That mtl wire is nice for lower wattages... you may like to try some someday, as a curiosity.

    I still like plain round SS, dont get me wrong this Clapton is good. But the SS gives a more crisper tastefull vape for me.
    That's why I haven't gone Clapton on DL yet. I have experimented with making my own, but maybe not enough to say it's my go to.
    Mesh is a story for another day.

    From what I hear there's a few changes to it. The chimney is lower and or bigger and the posts are offset slightly and made for bigger coils and a few other mild changes. The best person to speak to is @Robfisher about these tanks. He can give you the best advice. He has the most authentic tanks and a few custom made ones and uses it everyday all-day.
    I can only tell you from research and not experience.

    Upgrades:
    1. Hybrid safe 510 insulator
    2. Shorter than V1
    3. Peek chimney
    4. Offset posts
    5. Improved coil leg clamps. Ridge on the edge.
    6. 22mm glass tank section
    7. Largest airhole is now 2x2mm (=2,83mm)
    8. Easier bottom fill (fewer turns of the tank section)
    9. Viton o-rings
    10. Fixed position chimney
    11. Engraved AFC inserts
    12. Online authenticity check

    .
    Totally agree. The more complex the wire, the bigger the surface area, the better the flavour for my kind of vaping. I sometimes go back to roundwire builds when I'm exerimenting with a new atty and don't want to waste fused clapton or alien coils but the flavour just isn't as good imo
