RDA Clapton vs regular round.

[cambford91]

I've been using claptons since my first build. I never used regular round before. I just read where claptons are better. So I jumped straight to them. My dead rabbit wasn't getting to hot to vape. Someone suggested on Reddit to just use round wire. So, I did my first build wth with 24g kanthal. Like 11 wraps dual it ohms out at .7. I really can't tell a difference between this build and my others at the same wattage same vapor production and flavor. I guess I'm sayin are claptons just hype? I'm no expert or anything. I'm simple shocked

I mainly use fused claptons. To me, round has a dry feel & a clapton a wet feel. Flavor isn't a massive difference to me. Yeah I feel like I get slightly more flavor with a clapton. But it isn't "night & day" many tout them to be. The airflow of the atomizer is more on flavor than the coil itself imo too.

For some, Exotic Multi-Wire coils are Pure Hype. And for others, they are the Best. One really has to try Both to see where they fall.

The Same goes for Thick Wire and Massive Watts verses Thinner Wire and Lower Wattage.

@cambford91, I wouldn't say claptons are hype. They work great for many.

vaping is very subjective. Some enjoy using simple round wire. Others enjoy using claptons or other more exotic coils.

I use several types of coils and various gauge wire. From simple round, to claptons, to aliens and tricores. My personal wire preferences are SS316L and N80.

Generally speaking, more wire mass will produce more vapor and more flavor. Some folks swear by dual coil setups.

I'm able to get excellent flavor with a very basic 2mm ID SS316L coil in an RTA (MTL). I use larger ID's for RDL and DL in other RTA's and RDA's.

Everyone is different. What works for me won't work for others and vice versa.

Try several types of coils and wire types. You will find what works best for you.

Good luck!!!

That's how I'm feeling man. In the dead rabbit v3 I'm getting a much better vape out of 28g kanthal. Then I was outta claptons. But it definitely is drier. I like a dry vape though. So yea
