Clapception coils

[Rhett1977]

i ran across this this morning and wondered wth it is. Maybe it's been talked about already but I haven't seen it. I'm just curious what it is. I searched YouTube and could only find one vid and it was a slo mo of a guy firing one up. They're selling them for $25 a pair. Wowza!!!!

Make sure I understand. A Clapton claptoned by another Clapton?

Ive made one before but a little more crazy of a variant...
Here:


I thought at first it was a Clapton Incetion coil but I was wrong, the build above is the correct design. A thin claptin wire is claptoned around a core wire

Here is a larger outer claptoned version:

Let me ask one other question. What's the purpose of them? Just to say you can or do they give greater taste or bigger flavors? My first intro to vaping was a Sigelie (sp) with a Velocity on it. It had a Clapton in it so that's all I've ever Vapes until recently when I started building. I've built fused claptons, transformers, so on. I'm gonna try the stapled Clapton next. I've been told it's the one all be all by a lot of other vapers I know. So I figure why not. Thanks for the info and you're one helluva artist imho. That is awesome work. Some day I'll have to try that

I did it just for fun, before they were being made and shown online (atleast from what I saw when I made them)...I wouldnt buy them unless your buying them for appeal and pics, a Fused Clapton will provide you the same type of vape experience and be much cheaper. I sell Fused Claptons for $10 ($6.50 of it is for Shipping) a pair and I dont see how people can pay or even charge others $20-$30 for coils like I see everywhere. They are for shock and awe and nothing more, save your money.

I also am amazed by the prices ppl command. I started vaping and burned through a coil in my Velocity. Went to the vape store and they said it was $30 for a fused Clapton. I said WTF!!! Came home ordered me some wire and supplies and watched a bunch of vids on YouTube. No way I'd pay those prices. I guess some ppl have to have the biggest baddest and best. I just like the flavor. I don't care about the vape I produce. The flavor keeps me from smoking and I am happy with that. If I ever need some coils I'll hit you up. Take care!!!

I feel after the Fused Clapton the flavor intensity plateaus for anyone that uses normal coils mostly, once you use fused claptons all day then things like Alien wire and Staple builds have a slight advantage. You wouldnt notice the difference if you havent used both enough though. I wouldnt buy coils as I am a tinker'er but I know someone people cant make them and I dont see why people feel the need to over charge and rape them for it...

Thanks for the offer

 

[Rhett1977]

No I meant if I needed some smcoils and couldn't make them or whatever I'd order them from you.

Which one do you think is bedt? I'm fixing to try aliens for the first time. All I care about is flavor. That means everything to me. Thank you!!!

I completely understood what you meant
liens are a pain in the ass at first and you will waste a ton of wire until you figure out how much to stretch the decored clapton wire. Staple wire is a pain in the ass as the core wires need to stay flat and on top of each other and when wrapping them for a coil they can break here and there destroying the coil. If you do make either they are better then Fused Claptons in flavor perspective but just slightly better. If you dont have the time or money to replace wire or to fum be with wire then build a simple Fused Clapton. MY Favorite is Dual Coil 2 x 22K/46N60 5 Wrap/3mm ID.

Using thinner outer wrap also allows the wires to be used in smaller RTA/RBA/RDA's without compromising the vape quality. If you can fit a parallel 28g in a RBA/RTA then you can fit a 2 x 30g/40g Fused Clapton and make the experience much more flavorful and warm. I call these smaller Claptons/Fused Claptons Micro and Nano Claptons/Fused Claptons. Giving the same vape in RTA/RBAs that didnt have the ability for those types of coils before can now enjoy the same type of experience with these used in them.

Thank you for the help!! It is truly appreciated. I love to tinker too. Mi never thought valing would become s hobby. Lmao

 

[Rhett1977]

Thank you again for the help. One last question. I know there is a lot of hype around the alien Clapton but which would you choose if you could only choose one? The staple or the alien? I seen that's the 2 you referenced. Thanks again!!!

Alien, as the Staple is usually a single coil setup as its a extremely low resistance also you need more power and it kills batteries faster.. Flavor wise they are about the same.

 

[Rhett1977]

Thank you so much. Off to start trying aliens then!!!

Looks like something out of an H.R. Giger book...

@raymo2u where do you sell coils? Is it on eBay? What user name should I search?

If someone PM's me we go from there. I dont have a store or booth/forum but if someone wants/needs them I will make them.

Yea I dont charge much, $10/pair and priority shipping is included. So it wont break your bank to try something you've wanted to try, just be sure when you do use them your being safe with Batteries/Resistances.

Aliens are made from Clapton Wire...Or do you mean something else...

I'm getting a wismec rx200 and a minikin soon and gonna get some vtc4s from liion wholesale. I'm gonna need a new rta to go with that minikin. What do you recommend? I like the deck on the griffin! The vtc4 will handle any coil you build right?
