RDA Newbie - Want more clouds

[CloudyWithAChance]

Hi All
So, this is what I have.
MOD: Kanger Subox - 50W
RDA: Royal Hunter
Wire: Clapton 26/32

I've recently started getting into building. My first build was a dual Clapton 26/32, it came out at 0.4ohm. I didn't like it too much because I felt that I was draining my mod too fast and the ramp up time was unacceptable. I've since made the decision to purchase another mod, maybe a 100W?
Now, until I get the new mod, I've been experimenting with single coil builds - This has turned out to be much better for the setup I currently have. Producing decent clouds and enjoying the flavour. This is with a 4 wrap Clapton 26/32 with an ID of 2mm.

My question is, what other single coil builds should I attempt to take the clouds from "decent" to huge - taking into account the 50W limitation with my current mod?
Should I ditch the Clapton and get regular Kanthol?
Is a larger ID generally better?
I've seen some guys with RDA's that take 1 second puffs and produce serious clouds, that's what I'm after .

What has worked for some of you guys?

Thanks

I've really never had good luck with a single coil for clouds, especially under 50w...the best result was with 22g kanthel like 6 or 7 wraps (can't remember exactly) on a 3mm bit at 60w or so...
But my best cloud blowing builds are dual coil..sorry I couldn't help more..good luck!

Thanks all
Took the advice from kross8. Built a single parallel coil in my Royal Hunter RDA - 26g Kanthal, wrapped 5 times around a 3mm bit, this resulted in an awesome 0.3ohm coil.
Flavour is good and the clouds are GREAT! - Definitely better than "decent". Parallel is awesome!
Ramp up time is much MUCH better than the dual coil Clapton build I had - this is at 50W which is the max for my mod. Mod is also not draining as fast and also not getting as hot as quickly as the dual coil Clapton build.
Can't wait to try this build in my Freakshow mini....

Once I get a bigger Mod, will definitely try a dual parallel build.
