So I recently bought a little spool of pre made kanthal Clapton wire and wow, the flavour is just awesome. It's reading at 0.5 ohms and for some reason I can vape at 25 watts no problem whereas with the included RBA coils for my subtank mini, I couldn't push it much past 18 watts without getting dry hits. Also, the vape is 10 times smoother with less crackling and popping. Right now I'm vaping my DIY strawberries and cream and it is like a fresh bowl of strawberries in my mouth on every hit! However I'm burning through Ejuice like crazy but I don't mind it because the vape is so flavourful.
I'm gonna keep vaping on this for a while but on my next attempt, I'm thinking of attempting a vertical Clapton on my subtank mini. Here are some questions: (by the way, I'm only interested in flavour, not really in search of big clouds)
1) when I cut the leads, I can't get them flush and they end up touching the metal cover. Is this cause for concern?
2) I only did 3 wraps on my first try and it looks like there's space for probably 4. I guess more wraps equals more Ejuice being burned so even more flavour?
3) if I attempt a vertical coil, how many wraps should I try? I saw one guy on YouTube tuck his cotton in between the coil and posts and wrap it around the coil like a blanket. I was thinking of simply packing cotton on either side of the coil. Any tips for wicking a vertical Clapton? Since the Clapton is bigger gauge than plain kanthal, I'm not sure I'll be able to tuck it.
