I'm not ready to build Clapton coils. But I am really curious to see what they are like

In my opinion (and it's not worth much) i find claptons not worth the hassle. I normally vape 1 - 1.5 ohms in a mech (roughly 9-18 watts, depending on my mod and battery voltage), but sometimes I want "clouds bro" and I find parallel coils more flavorful, easier to build, and better flavor. as always, YMMV.

I just can't justify paying $100 for a new kayfun when I am using all of my extra money to buy nic and devices. Is there a decent RBA for under $30? Or is it just that good RBAs are spendy?
I'm not crazy about spending that much on one tank either so my approach has been to buy a clone first (usually SXK, Shenray or Tobeco) and test the waters. If I really like it, I will buy the authentic figuring that the authentic can only get better. There are a few RTA type tanks that are in the $20-$30 range that are MTL-able and those I will buy straight out.

I figured I was really missing out. Good to know I'm not!
I'm super curious about double coils though

Sorry, @pufZepplin but this is a dumb question. [emoji6]What watts do devices like ego aios and hohm skillets run?

(((good question)))

they RUN - AUTO WATTS - meaning they decide what to output by what OHMS they read from your topper...

you have no control other than changing out your coil Ω :)

I have a friend who has a couple Cool Fire 4's and I replaced the battery's in both of those about a year ago I'd say. I put LG HE2's in them and they are still kickin like they were brand new. I would say it is worth it if the mod is something that will last you a good while.


Well - When and if the time comes - I'll Be "Your" Friend too . . .

I scored the Tiny Tank (not realizing it when I bought it o_O ) Ordered the RDA version and am awaiting its arrival. LOVE the Tiny Tank, so I'm excited for the RDA to show up!

What part of the "Great HOSED-UP" state? I'm up NE - love coming across fellow "Whose-yers" ;)

Westside area...Brownsburg, Avon, Pittsboro, Danville area. if you've seen the new's about the truck that hit the bridge on 465 and 36, I'm around that area.

My job had me driving all over place though. Today I was in Terre Haute, Sullivan, Attica, and bloomington...

Fun times.

Like Petro, I'm not much with Clapton coils. I have a couple of spools, but I reach for 26 or 28g NiCr or Kanthal for most of my builds these days.

@ChelsB - another nice, easy, inexpensive topper is the Wotofo Serpent Mini. Single coil, top-fill. One of my preferred toppers. Check Vapecrawler - you can likely find this for less than $20.

SXK Kayfun mini v3 is $22 at FT, there is also a mini v3 plus (shorter and girthier ), Origen Little 16 mm $10.
Digiflavor Siren $25 or so, Cthulhu MTL at about $30.

Girthier? I like that. It might have to replace "Fatty". ;)
