What's new

First Clapton :)

32g def better, if you have time try a fused Clapton.

Aye I will do, It's meant to be a bugger getting the twists out though isn't it? What gauge would you recommend for the cores?

Yea the twists can be a nightmare. While its still in the drill, so the wire is held fast, I get 2 pairs of pliers and try work the twists out as best as I can. Then I wrap the coil slowly keeping the coil flat just working the twists out with a pair of pliers as I go along. 26g core works well for me and keeps the ohms above .2 (30a torchy batteries) on a dual coil.

Sounds good, little too low for me though I think. Prefer to be at about .4. I'll have a tinker and see what I can make!​
