Alright I'll get this sub forum started. Here are two of my personal favorite videos: 
The first is two guys that climb a tower in Shanghai. Makes my butt pucker up everytime I watch it: 
 

Cany, do you still have some of that popcorn?  Also, is it "muffin" flavored?

Yes Banana Nut

The show is over. Move along. Nothing to see here... 

So true. Since I bought a cordless drill I've been vaping with a kanthal clapton coil until yesterday. I put in a new vertical coil and my first thought was, "Damn this tastes so much better". Now to figure out the perfect combo for a ni200 clapton. I made one several days ago but couldn't get enough wraps. Being that claptons are so thick I would have needed a lot more coils than would fit in my subtank mini specially if I spaced the coils. I'll figure it out though.

I hear ya', Bebop. I dig TC, too. I've been vaping my ADV in an eGo ONE 1.8ml tank with the same wick and coil in it for over a month now (trying to see how long I can actually vape on it before it starts tasting bad) and it still tastes and performs great. I can't even tell you how many times I've completely drained the tank by accident, but I never once got a throat-burning dry hit.  Amazing.

Dry hit?  What's that? 
 
I just checked based on my old posts the last time I built a new coil was July 3rd. And that coil is not the one I re wicked this morning.  So this coil went a minimum of 5 weeks and probably more like 6 weeks before I changed the wick.  The only thing I noticed was a slight drop in vapor and flavor, nothing like a burnt taste or a fail.  

I am still diggin' TC.
this morning I was vaping away and I wasn't quite getting the vapor I was expecting. As I was taking apart the STmini I was thinking 'when did I rebuild this last?'.  I couldn't remember, lol.  It's literally been that long. This thing has been chugging away for weeks and weeks. 
No surprise, the coil showed some gunk, more so than usual but I have been vamping tank after tank of one of my sweeter darker juices in it.  I pulled it apart, the wick easily slid out of the coil. I brushed off the crud.  I wasn't in a place where I could build a new coil. It cleaned up pretty well, not perfect but nicely. Threw a fresh wad of cotton in her and reloaded. Bam, good as new. Fresh taste, great vapor. Back in business in a couple minutes. 
I'm still really impressed with the performance of these coils. Usually, you know, you vape a week and you gotta rebuild. I'll probably let this one go another while then maybe put in a new coil in a week or two, if I get ambitious, lol. Might even try one of those verticals. 'Course, I will be getting my new RBA bases here pretty soon so I'm sure I'll build 'em up right away.
 
i have no complaints about TC.

Hey Cany that is one very clean build. Heck dude that makes mine look sloppy. I can't find any fault with that build at all. I wouldn't mind the drop in the ohm. Mine all fluctuate a bit.

Just ordered 2.  

Yes, it is... but don't do it that often, or you can find yourself in the dog house

Great looking Clapton!  Eric would be proud, gunner.
 
 

Absolutely. I can't wait to get into that rba section. ^^^You too Tam.  

Here is my first attempt at a clapton coil (just bought a cordless drill in Iraq). I've always wanted to try a clapton and now I've got my chance. This build is in my new subtank mini v2 with the new rba section. For the build I used a 26ga kanthal core wrapped with 30ga kanthal. 5 wraps around a 5/64 screwdriver came to .67 ohms. I will continue to practice with kanthal (as I have tons of it), but I want to eventually build a clapton with ni200 nickel. This build has awesome and flavor....OMG. I have been missing out here. The vapor production is some of the best I've had in an RTA.
 
 

Hahahaha that's interesting. Let me know how that goes. It looks simple enough. It should work with all the other clapton style coils as well.

Today I learned it's better to ask for forgiveness when buying new gear than it is to ask for permission. Woohoo!

Have you seen this clapton tutorial trick. I used it and it works flawlessly.

Thanks bro. I watched a hell of a lot of tutorials on these bad boys. I've since made a second one in my other subtank mini and it came out really good as well. Next I'll try a fused clapton and see how that goes.

Nice job DragonGunner, that is a hell of a lot better than my first 3 attempts at claptons...lol

Ni200 vertical coil in a subtank mini verdict after 2 days and 4 tanks gone and a wick change compared to the same ohm horizontal coil............ HOMERUN! Very little to no spit back like a horizontal coil. Flavor imo 50% better and the vapor production is out of this world. Gonna stick with the vertical coil for a while.
