Claptons, for me, got a lot easier with this thing...............I bought the jig from vaped3d.com and got it about 5 days ago. I've made about 50 ft of fused Clapton so far in those 5 days and pretty much every inch of it is flawless.I bought an extra clamp just in case the clips would wear down over time. (I do plan on making 100's of feet a month)But the clamp shows no wear after all the wire that has gone through it thus far !Here's a couple fused builds I did, mostly used 24 gauge or 25 gauge for my core wires, 34 or 36 for the outer wire.Going to try some 38 and 40 gauge this week, ill let everyone know how it goes!

Welcome back to vaping! Im just going to leave some tips and advice. Rich is correct - the lower the ohm of your coil, the higher the wattage is required to fire that coil. That leads to shorter battery life. And that drops significantly fast below .5ohms. It also leads to lots of heat so it's not unusual that your tank is getting hot. I find vaping around .6 - .8 to be a happy medium, especially if you are in a situation where you can't easily swap out batteries. It's a good trade off between battery life and vapor production. next is airflow. Airflow over the coil is key to good vapor production. The lower the resistance, the more airflow you need to get the vapor production. So vaping below 1 ohm you'll likely be using wide open airflow on your tank. Good airflow also reduces heat. Tanks differ and you may find yourself experimenting with different tanks to find the differences and what you prefer. Vaping at at lower resistance and higher wattages can really shorten coil life. This is why many of us get in to building our own coils and rebuilding/rewicking. Keeps the coil fresh and optimum vapor production and flavor. Store bought pre made coils are pretty good these days but they don't last as long as your own builds. Pre made coils also vary in performance so there is some experimenting there to find what you like. juice - juices vary as well. Some like lower wattages and some like higher. Some burst with flavor and some are dull. Not all juices are created equal. Dark sweet juices will wreck a coil faster than lighter juices. Airflow plays a part here as well. Low airflow tends to cook the juice on the coil reducing its life. Thinner juices tend to vape faster with lower vapor production while thicker juices can take more wattage and produce more vapor. Temperature control (nickel/Titanium etc) adds another level of complication best left alone for the new vaper. Or have somebody who knows it well demonstrate it for you. It requires proper settings and experimentation to set it up correctly and make it satisfying. It is more significant to low ohm/high watt builds where "dry" hits are a problem (wick running dry). Hope that helps. Feel free to ask questions. Many here to help you.

That was my plan. I was going to run down to the local shop and pick up some lower nic liquids. However, I have been using the 12 mg and I seem to not have any issues. Not feeling any side effects of nic overload and I finally figured out the draw on the sub ohm. Not harsh at all, but I really don't have any harsh flavors in my rotation to begin with. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to close up the airflow and seem happy. I am going to buy some lower nic liquids and make the switch in the tanks. Guess I am just a bit weird and keeping an eye on how I am feeling so I don't overload. Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. I want to add a disclaimer to my last post for all vapers wanting to go to sub-ohm route, listen to what Earthling789 said in his reply post to me! Do not do as I do or am doing. I have been vaping for a very long time, I know the effects of nicotine overload! I am being extremely careful vaping 12mg in a sub-ohm tank!
