I have tried claptons, diamonds, tricoils, and many other types of coil. I enjoy them for a couple of days, but then always go back to a 2-3MM 26 or 24 gauge set up.
Out of them all, the claptons do provide the most vapour hands down, and can be drivin higher than my standard coils (I can run them up to 100 Watts comfortably, above that it gets too hot to enjoy) so I think claptons are great for cloud chasing, and I do enjoy a bit of that sometimes.
But the good old standard coil always calls me back.
