Clones are fine - Some clones are better than others, like IVOGO, A-MOD etc - but it’s OK to take a chance
I guess you could just jump right in, and get a more advanced one, like the little boy I would be hesitant about the copper center post though… Get stainless steel on the innards, if you can!
With that Clapton Tool I can crank out a coil in just a minute or two. So I can experiment more. That one isn’t hard to make. Just make a Clapton, then do a twist with it in the opposite direction with ribbon wire. It makes the coil open up and expand between the wraps giving you a lot more coil area. It’s an instant flavor chucker.
I wish I could have tried it …goblin won’t allow clearance for that build . Had to put a reg dual coil micro .3 ohm …still great flavour and vape but I bet a Clapton would be intense on the goblin
Dang, you were giving me inspiration. I don’t know if I posted this build here, but check this out. A real mother chucker @ .4 ohms. 24g 316L wrapped with 28g kanthal on a 2mm jig.
