What is a Clapton wire?
Clapton Coils are a small gauge wire wrapped around another larger gauge wire in a perpendicular way. One wire is coiled tightly over the other. You get your thicker coil result by wrapping a 24 or 26 gauge vape wire in a 30 or 32 gauge. Surface area shoots up (and so does flavour production).
What is the difference between Clapton and fused Clapton?
What is a fused Clapton coil? A fused Clapton is a thinner gauge wire wrapped around two or more thicker gauge cores. The multiple cores give fused Claptons a faster ramp-up time and arguably better flavor than non-fused Claptons, due to the increase in surface area.
What is the difference between 22 and 24-gauge wire?
A 24 AWG wire has a diameter of . 0201 inch, and a 22 AWG wire has a diameter of . 0253 inch.
Which is thicker 24g or 26g?
Since 24-gauge is the thicker material, it’s also the heavier material compared to 26-gauge. A 24-gauge roofing panel weighs approximately 30% more than a 26-gauge panel. Just like with thickness, the weight of each gauge also has a range.

What are the different types of Clapton coil?
Other variations of the Clapton coil such as fused claptons, twisted claptons staggered-fused claptons differ in the number of wires forming the coil, the gauge of the wires, and how its wrapped / coiled.
Can I just plug a Clapton coil into my RDA?
It was a hit, and now everyone is into the clapton coil bandwagon. You can get clapton wire cheap, and even pre-made clapton coils that you can just plug into your RDA & start vaping.
What is the story behind the Clapton coil?
The idea and story behind the clapton coil is that someone got the idea to build a wire that mimicked a guitar string (E,A & D). He did it, and named it Clapton after his favorite guitarist, Eric Clapton.
What are the pros and cons of a Clapton coil?
Pros of the Clapton Coil: Coiled wire creates much larger surface area, meaning more vapor. It is supposed to create better flavor as well, although opinions on this are divided. Some people claim to get no better flavor than regular micro coils. It gives you something new to try once you get bored of regular coils.
