Will this parallel Clapton be okay?

[joeyboy]

I have 24g/34g kanthal Clapton wire. I want to make a parallel with a 24g kanthal. Will that work? I don't have any other gauge Clapton buy do have 22g kanthal. I was looking for higher ohms, maybe around 0 4ish or so.

Suggestions would be really helpful. Also, I normally use an ID of 2.5 on my coils. Would a 3.0 ID be better for this?

so you have premade clapton and are asking about building a parellel set of coils with it? Kinda need to know what device its going in... your resistance is gonna be low, but to ungodly low. i normally build 24g fused claptons which essentially is two strands of 24g claptoned with my outer wrap. Im thinking 3mm would be better as there is gonna be a good ammount of heat inside those coils. Just remember to check the resistance before you fire it.

Going on a sigelei 150 w.

3mm id or bigger is my preference anyway...

 

[Everpresentnewb]

Sig 150 fires down to .1 right? or is it .15? Not sure as I dont have one. Just keep it above your lower limit and you should be good.

Here it is. It works real well. I fired it at 50 watts. Maybe not the prettiest but it is my first hand wrapped parallel. Not the easiest but it should get easier if I do it again.

 

[Everpresentnewb]

oh. Yea. single coil... Ha. Sorry Im always thinking Dual coils.

 

[joeyboy]

Yeah, I knew duals would be too low. It is something. Not a leisure vape coil, that's for sure.

 

[joeyboy]

60 watts is better.

 

[Everpresentnewb]

Thats .32? so duals would be around .15? Thats my Normal build resistance... Currently I have a .09 in my Boreas on my Hwrecker G2 hitting at 130 watts. Been vaping it all day long....

 

[joeyboy]

It is. I didn't want to go that low. I only vape at 1.5 mg and haven't been vaping much lately. This is kicking my butt. I would hate to see what a 0.15 build would do.
