Some great builds. Im not too much into claptons but i dont have a lot of time to build then AND im primarily a TC guy.

Which of thesd builds have your tried for temp control. Have you tried TI and SS, if so what variations?

I have yet to delve into TC...I wanted to try 316L/317L/430 SS but haven't got to yet...I wont try any other wire due to my own reasons of metal toxicity

Loving this thread. Man, I love these pics. Thank you so much for sharing. Not sure if you have a specific one, but I was wondering what is your favorite ADV coil as far as quick ramp up time, flavor, and clouds all in one?

My Favorite Builds are Simple Fused Claptons, Usually Staged with a Thick Wire as I find it produces the perfect amount of heat, flavor and massive amounts of vapor without crazy time allowances and wire needs. They have good wicking properties on there own without cotton and when wicked up they almost keep themselves wet..They do need a far bit of wattage though so battery life may not be great on certain setups. This is why I was diving into trying to make smaller and smaller Fused Clapton builds, they also work very well in Tanks and RTAs that you could barely fit 24g into.
For my ADV on RDAs:
2x22K/46N60
20151105_152118-jpg.33221
20151105_151652-jpg.33223


And What I almost Always use for my TFV4 is:
26K/44N60 Fused Clapton (TF-RCA RBA) and 32g/44g Fused Claptons (TF-R2 RBA), I dont enjoy the TF-R1 RBA anymore...

I actually just sold my WaterCooled Ps3 to a friend....I havent had a role in it in a few months since Rockstar Games/Activision/Steam sent me papers threatening a lawsuit, thats when I found vaping and I really havent dipped my toes back into the water filled with Piranha

Both. The idea is increased surface area and creating pockets to act as a "wicking" coil. You'll get denser vapor production (flavor) as well as more vapor all in all (clouds). I haven't tried more advanced things than fused claptons, I've done various twisted/helix builds, I've done that chain link (IMO the best easy all by hand build, after that best to get a drill or it's not worth it). And these fused claptons beat them all out in both elements. I'm also more of a flavor guy, I want enough cloud to satisfy my "I want that smoking feeling" thing, but I'm not after clouding a room in one pull. The one thing though is I would not use a "premium" juice with these suckers, my juice consumption doubled using these compared to my standard twist/helix builds. I put "" around the premium because flavor wise there are tons of options that are just as good but much cheaper so what I meant is if you're spending $20 for a 30ml be ready to be spending $15+ a day with fused claptons.


Anyways went to this thread to gives Raymo a heads up, I did a 2X 26g SS build, I know you were saying you were looking into that. I'm reading at .15Ω, so if you havne't bought your SS yet I'd suggest going for 28g at least if you want to do dual coils. I'm at 6 wraps with the 26g and still that low. It's a great vape with a single coil on my Haze but just felt I should give you a heads up in case you have purchased/looked into your SS builds yet. I'm interested in hearing what you do with it when you do, I love my SS but I plan on setting up a dual coil in my Avocado and I'll have to back down to Kanthal to get that done I think unless 28g SS works out (then I'll have to buy a roll of that).

I got to play with the Hohm Wrecker G2 with Kanthal TC...It actually is a REAL TC for Kanthal that is proved working and it fucking awesome....Ill pick up some SS either way but Im buying 2 of those HW G2's and that may be the only TC I use (besides SS) Ill use from now on.
I got to try TC with my Griffin with Alien build and a RDA with Fused Claptons I had, I watched a dry burn test and everything and it blew me away...Grab one if you can or try and see one in action man...

Hey @raymo2u is there really that much difference between the caterpillar track coil as far as flavor compared to the fused Clapton? How many core wires are needed for the caterpillar coil? Which would be a better core wire for fused claptons 24 or 26? I'm using a sigelei 150 watt tc and a twisted messes black and gold. Will 3.0mm I'd fit in a twisted messes or should I go with 2.4 mms?

The Cat Track Coil is a Coil that uses a Ton of Wattage, it also gives a great amount of Vapor Density and Flavor Intensity. You wont notice much over a Fused clapton if you dont use them that much but people that use Bigger Builds more then not will notice the difference. It really depends on what you want from them when choosing Cores/Outer Wraps and the amount of Cores...It is a lot of work to make these, well if you make them like I do.
Make a Fused Clapton, Hammer the Entire Wire Length Flat, making sure every bit of wire is the same hammered width. Then I use 2000 Grit Wetsanding Paper and go over the Entire Wire, both sides. Afterwards I use Dawn and a Toothbrush to scrub ever channel/divot in the Wire to get all the particulates and fragments out. Rinse them and dry them and then coil them. While coiling them you need to be very careful, they can snap and fracture if you apply to much pressure or if you hold too close to where your wrapping it, I suggest holding the very end of the wire to wrap the whole coil.

Cat Tracks can use between 130w-200w+ for a good experience, they are not sweet delicate coils...These are Power Hungry Beasts.

Some really nice looking builds. Way above my ability right now. I can't even make clapton wire yet. I can wrap it fine, but it doesn't get tight enough. It will still slide on the core.

Very nice builds @raymo2u . When I get my square SS wire I want to pull it thru my square plate and bring it down in size to about a 32 to 34g. Then use it to make fused clapton with 44g Nichrome80. Think that'll work?

Yea it will work, just takes some time. Ive done Square Builds and Hammered Builds and as long as you make sure the entire wire is evenly hammered it turns out well. Here's the latest Squared Builds:

Wow! Very nice! I got the hammering part covered...sort of! I made the caterpillar track but instead of hammering it I ran it thru the rolling mill. Very nice, even flattening.

A Rod Press works well also, Ive used a Roller to make a small spool of Flattened 24g but I rarely use it...Make sure to post your build on the "Post Your Builds" Thread after it all set and done!

Adding to my Build Resume...I haven't used RDA's like this in some time and I figured I would tonight. This is the Coil I made last night and decided to throw it into a Double Vision RDA

Is that Laisimo a mp3 player/GPS too?
Nope just a vape..

What does polishing dobro the coils? Sorry if it's already been asked
Make it look nice for CoilPorn, it could give it more surface area if you polished the inside face of the wire before wrapping the coil though. Its mostly for Aesthetics.
