First fused Clapton help..

[martin123]

Hi guys just needing some advice, finally got a drill and got a few spools of kantahl in different guages.
Wanting to make an all kanthal fused Clapton. Would be looking at x2 26awg core with 32awg outer wire. Would like to dual these for the limitless. Wanting to aim for around .3 to .35ohms so had a look and 8 wraps around 3mm bit should come out around 0.305ohms.

The only problem is the ramp up time, would it take too long to ramp up being all kanthal?

If anyone has made a fused Clapton with just kanthal please let me know what its like flavour wise and if ramp up is too much to bare

You are going to need at least 1 submarine battery to get that lot going!
Maybes a wee go with 0.3mm cores will make your life a bit easier. Coils will be just as tasty but you won't need 1.21 Giga Watts to get a toot.

I make my fused claptons with Nichrome cores and a single coil on a mech heats up just lovely.

Yeah I agree, I would go up to 28 guage for a dual personally and go from there

I only use 24awg fused Clapton's an run them between 70 an 90 watts an the flavour is great, there is a little ramp up time but nothing I can not deal with to be honest

 

[steamchimp]

Yep on the other hand (agreeing with Gravelthroat also) I guess it depends on the device your going to use it on. If it's got some grunt it would be fine.

Thicker wire would probably be easier to work with on a first fused so 26 or 24 might be a good comprimise in that case.

I'd switch to ni80 or use a higher gauge like 28g and clapton it with 36g or higher then stage it with some 26g ni80.

 

[Gravelthroat]

Staging is a good one too think I might build one now u mention it @smut

Well I'm using either rx200s or koopor plus as mods.. And ordered some stealth vape nichrome 26awg so going to have a go with that.. Order turned up this morning but I'm on nights so will be making them tomorrow while relaxing and have the rest of day to tinker so I'll probs be on here asking some more questions of I get stuck with anything..

Also I'll put up a few pic's of them when I've done and see what you guys think

I learnt to do fused Clapton's buy just giving it a go, so I wish u luck an if its not great first time just try again! Practice practice is the way p.s. use an ohms reader
