First Clapton build, is this right?

Then yeah with SS316L you should come out right around .5 with 8 wraps on 3mm id
Your meter is reading the wrap..... not the core.
Tighten connections......
To properly meter a Clapton you touch ONLY the core wires.

So the legs need to be unwrapped?
That's how it was done in the old days.
When claptons were called, self wicking coils.
But you might just need to tighten the post screws.

Yeah, that was going to be my next mention. I'm using the Delirium BF and the posts suck hard. The posts' threads bottom out about 0.5mm shy of the post holes' back walls. So, say 28g will never be gripped by the grub screws, which is why I went with the Clapton in the first place, since it's about 0.56mm. It's the throwaway atty for the Therion Squonker, but I'm still waiting for my Tsunami to get here, so I just wanted to test and it's the only bottom feeder I have.
Yeah, make my own coils, but not my own wire. At least I know it's not my coil making, but rather the posts, that are iffy. Same wire/dual coils spot on at 0.51Ω in my DotCom.
Understood, but I can't and don't make my own wire.
This is the only BF I have right now. I have 2 Tsunamis on the way, though. Once I have something better than the Delirium, it'll go into the unloved reserves drawer.
oh i get ya. the claptons were premade?
when the tsunamis arrive you should have a better time with it.
i recommend learning to build your own, its not hard.

The wire was premade, yes, the coils I did.
Believe it or not, I actually prefer simple, stright wire, non-spaced coils. I'd never done Clapton before so thought I'd try. I compared on the Boreas, two tanks, same juice, same 0.5Ω, one dual Clapton, one dual simple coils and I actually prefer the dual simple coils.

yeah i dont like claptons too much but fused claptons are worlds apart from regular claptons for me.
before i learned to clapton i paralleled everything.
as for spaced... i dislike spaced wraps. ive never been able to get them to wick properly and everytime i try they suck ass until i just decided to give up on them.

Yeah to get a good contact with them on old wrap on screw type atty you need to remove the wrap from the legs. So you can get a bite on the core. The wire through hole and a grub screw connection doesn't require this step
