I ' ve been building for a little while , up to fused claptons . Usually all in SS 316 L so I can use them in Temp or Wattage mode , and just starting to work into alien coils . It ' s fun if you like doing it but like another poster said you can buy any premade coils and they do well . I personally favor the fused clapton . One of the main reasons behind these builds is to make the coil itself like a sponge . The more little crevices you can put in your coil , there more surface area you have to turn the juice into vapor . Another thing that someone told me on here that really helped was to go to a hobby or clothing store and near the jewelry wire , there should be a thing called a spool tamer . Highly suggested . Helps keep the smaller gauge wire from despoiling fast and getting kinks and knots out . Look up fused staggered staple clapton if you want to see a hard build but one of the best for flavor . I think it was doode from The Art of Vaping came up with it . It ' s a crazy hard build IMO . But it ' s subjective just like taste is . Also they have several clapton makers out there as well . I picked up a Coil Master Clapton Maker for about $ 30 . It has its issues but it does what it says . But there are a few brands out there .
