The World of The Clapton Coil

The World of The Clapton Coil

 

If you're new to the world of coil-building, you might be wondering about the differences between each type of coil build. For sub-ohm vapers who crave intense flavor and large vape clouds, the Clapton coil reigns supreme.

 

Today, you'll find out what it is about the Clapton coil that makes it such a desirable configuration for countless vapers. 

What is a Clapton Coil?

 

The Clapton coil consists of a thick wire that's tightly wrapped in a thinner wire. The result is a coil that closely resembles a guitar string. The reason why this type of coil is so popular for sub-ohm enthusiasts is because the wire configuration drastically increases the surface area of the coil. Because of this increased surface area, the vaping experience is enhanced in a variety of ways. 

 

What Are the Benefits of Using Clapton Coils?


Better Wicking

A well-built Clapton coil will prevent dry hits thanks to the unique wick structure of the wire configuration. Because the wrapped wire has lots of tiny crevices, the juice can cling onto the wire more efficiently, guaranteeing consistent and even saturation. 

More Complex Flavor

Thanks to the increased surface area of a Clapton coil, you'll likely enjoy a richer, more complex flavor when you vape. More surface area means more even heat distribution, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavor notes simultaneously. Many flavor notes that are found in vape juices don't fully bloom unless they are heated to a certain temperature. If you're a flavor chaser, the Clapton coil is probably what you want. 

Larger, Thicker Vape Clouds

The large surface area also promotes huge fog. When vape juice is heated evenly, the vapor becomes thicker, resulting in clouds that are dense and enormous. This is because more vape juice is heated per puff. 

How Do I Make My Own Clapton Coils?


To make your own Clapton coils, you're going to need two different types of Kanthal wire. One wire needs to be thick with a low gauge and one needs to be thin with a high gauge. 

  • First, cut the thicker wire and straighten it out.
  • After that, cut the thinner wire.
  • To wrap the thinner wire tightly, use some tools that are specially designed for the wrapping of coils.
  • Once your coil is properly wrapped, you can snip the ends and install it into your atomizer. 

 

Now You Are Ready to Build

 

Using a Clapton coil is one of the easiest ways to improve your sub-ohm vaping experience. This type of coil makes an enormous difference in the quality of your clouds and flavor.
