The velocity has great air control. You can take it all the way down to literally nothing so you can switch off between MTL and lung. Best RDA I have IMO.

Hi, I am a newbie ( 4 months ) trying to learn from this forum and I am very impress with your Clapton wire making. I tried making a few times but the secondary wire is never uniform and have given up but buy ready made Clapton wires. The problem is, I find it difficult to purchase the exact configuration that I require and also most of the Clapton wires that I buy are really filthy with machine oil and cleaning a Clapton wire is never easy.
Some tips from you would help a trying newbie.

Only to glad to help.
First of all you need to sorce your wires, i get mine from here:- http://www.wireandstuff.co.uk/products/Vaping-Wire.html
I’m in the UK, if your elsewhere, I’m sure someone will jump in with a good wire sorce.
To make a single core clapton, i would suggest a 26g inner core with a 32g outer core.
My advice to you would also be to get hold of some swivels, you can get them from fishing stores or EBay,
Same as these ones :-


There 150lb pull. Then join some together like i have at the bottom there. Fix one end of your swivel’s, i use a screw in a peice of wood and clamp the wood to a table and hook the swivel over the screw.
Get a length of your 26g wire and fix it to the end ring by looping it through and twist it round itself.
Cut your 26g to length , 12-16inches. Fix the end into one of the jaws in your drill, also trap the end of your 32g in there aswell if you can but make sure the 26g is coming straight out the centre of the chuck, then , slowly start your drill, keeping tension on your 26g to keep it straight, and start to wrap.
The wrapping spool needs to be about 12-16 inches away from your core wire, but you need to keep it at 90 degrees to the core wire. Doing this will help you to guide the wire into place and you’ll find the wire actually self guide’s,as long as you keep the wrapping wire at 90 degrees to the core wire.
To do a fused clapton, (2 core wires) you just loop your wire through the ring and fix both ends into your drill along with your wrap wire, again making sure both core wires come out of the centre of the chuck.
Start your wrap slowly to start with and once you get it going you can speed up, theres no rush to do this, speed comes with practice.
However someone on this forum has came up with an idear that might intrest you. @Phill is in the process of making several jigs to do just this very thing and alot more. He’ll pop by and give you a word on it i think. But i hope what ive told you is useful and if you need any help or you got more questions, just ask. Were all here to help. :yum:
Also I’ll add this link and you can follow the whole thread about clapton making.

Thank you for your response, the method you mentioned above is something like I saw on Youtube presented by Grimm Green and I remember seeing another presentation from someone who uses a ball point pen ( without the inside point refill) in place of the pipettes.

I am already using swivels like you and I got it nailed onto a block of wood and I clamp this piece of wood down to the table with a G clamp. Its just that I cant get it as uniform as you. I sometimes have too wide interval spacing or sometimes it overlaps. OK, will try again.

Honestly it’s just practice practice practice. It all comes together in the end. Hopefully I’ve helped, anything else just gis a shout. :+1:

Just thought I’d add, i find it more forgiving, if you can keep the wrapping spool a good bit away from your core wire, so any slight variation on the 90 degree, doesn’t back wrap or run forward. Just a tip. :yum:

Thanks for the tip, already setting up my work bench to try again.

@BoyHowdy should get a Badge @JoJo " Giving Heart " he literally wrapped several style coils and labeled them. There must be a dozen tanks here close to it anyhow.

Totally would if I could. But I can’t. :frowning:

EDIT: Meant to add that the badges are fixed. I can give and revoke badges, but only the ones that ‘come with’ the forum. It’s not like titles where I can add custom ones. But that’d be cool! Maybe an update will give that option. :wink:
