Tried the flavor on a 26ga Nichr80 claptoned with 0.3x.1mm Kanthal Ribbon.

Did a new build which i call "The Caterpillar" and it is not the most practical to build with. Cool to look at though.

Very nice @KZOR. How does it perform?

Had some fun with my Goon!
Pretty crappie vape though.
Changed back to aliens quick quick!

That looks like a Monster!!!
Was fun to build.
Anticipation was hectic. Vape.... Not so much.

My first Juggernaut
Two single claptons wrapped with 24G Ribbon Kanthal. 6 wraps per coil. Single coil comes to .66Ohm

Stupid Question but where do you learn these different builds and names? Is there a thread I missed on the forum?
@Dietz, thanx man.
Youtube is your best friend
Performing quite good. Taste is nice and descent vapor production. Ramp up time is also surprisingly quick.

Got my Daedalus last week and have been playing around with it, so far I'm having an issue using more than 2 wires for the clapton core, I've tried the little barrel with slit provided, key ring, paper clip but still the wires don't stay flat they end up in a triangle pattern, any tips will be appreciated. On the plus side I made some great fused claptons for my Petri RDA, 2 x 29ga ni80 claptoned with 36ga ni80, 7 wraps, 3mm ID, reading at 0.32ohm which is perfect for the pico I'm running it at 40w. 
And also I made coils for my Apocalypse Gen 2 RDA, 2 x 26ga ni80 claptoned with 36ga ni80, 7 wraps, 3.5mm ID reading at 0.25 ohm, running it on the RX200 at 75w
Tried making coils for the OL16 on my Reo P67, single core 29ga ni80 claptoned with 38ga ni80 but I found better flavor on normal 26ga ni80, 8 wraps spaced, 2.5mm ID reading at 0.35ohm so went back to that standard build.

Did a similar coil to what @Mr_Puffs did, The pics you posted with this coil was one of the reasons I bought it!!
I am getting quite bit of heat on this one, But I think its because the coil is sitting too High up. Will cut them down a bit tonight and See if that makes any difference.
Simple, yet a performer!!
24g NI80 7 wrap Parallel Over 3mm ID and it pops at 0.21Ω

Looking good Bud! Next time try and split the legs or put the legs in the opposite holes so that the coil is parallel to the build deck. Felt like the air just hit the coils harder that way and kept it cooler.
As for the height they look a bit high. A trick I use is to look into the air slot and adjust the height so that half of the coil is visible. That way the air hits the coil and filters through underneath to carry the flavour and not cause a lot of turbulance. Let me know!
But looking great man.

Awesome response man! Thanks!
I will try this tonight and revert! Yea I figured they were supposed to be above the holes, but I was too excited to adjust. See now they are about 3-4mm above the Air slots on the side.if I look in from the side.
Still like the crap out of it
I am glad you are enjoying it bud. Nothing so satisfying then having an expectation for some new kit and then it meets that or even better surpasses it.Awesome response man! Thanks!

3 or 4mm is a bit way too high haha. Think you will definitely get a cooler vape closer to the deck. Remember the deck of a postless atty works as a heat sink. So by placing the coils that high without any direct air cooling the coil or deck to displace some of the heat in you are going to get a mighty hot vape. I also think the stainless version does get a bit hotter than the matt black one. I would love to try the Beast cap but R450 or so is a bit hectic to me for just a cap. Anyway go back a page and take a look at that single coil of mine and note the height of the coil from the deck.
One of my frends told me to post this its nothing fancy lol and a normal celphone pic i went to calling it (blou draad) lol coz of it getting this hot i used alien wire (0.3#0.8+32GA) and i then wraped it in 26GA ss 2 AROUND 3MM and poped the coilz in py clone v2 30mm budah and this thing chucks clouds comeing in @ 0.11ohm

Felt like something a bit different tonight and the Ammit needed a pitstop. Made a braided strand of 3x26AWG SS316 wire the bleeding fingers way and made this coil. I do not like a hot vape but it comes out totally cool from the atty. 0.19ohm running at 185C preheat at 80W on the Therion. Surprisingly nice.
Plenty cloud and super flavor!
Regards

Some pre-made staple staggered claptons to test my new 35A Batts.
These things are awesome.
Ohm's out at 0.18, almost no ramp-up, clouds to spare, and flavour for days.
Loving the vape life right now!

Can anyone point me to where there is a web resource that explains whats a Stapled, Staggered, staged and framed coil?
and also how do I know whats the recommended Wattage range per build depending on its Ohm?
Demon Killer Clapton (24+32 GA) with a 24g NI80
I dont see why these are called "Ugly Coils", to me they are as good looking as a 'Tight' coil!
Dual 24g NI80 3mm ID 8 wrap @ 0.23

Wattage for low ohm coils is high in general if you don't want to deal with ramp up. I generally decide by volts off my chip how much wattage to put through, so at the moment my dual aliens are 0.11 ohms, I put 95-120watts which give me 3.9-4.3 v off the chip, but it will also be dependent on the wicking, less room for poor wicking with so much heat. There's honestly no reason to run low ohms unless you want a load of vapor.
Nice of you to mention that, where did you get them SS claptons?To be honest with you ....... there is so little difference between these more complex builds, claptons and plain SS or Nichr80.
Great flavor but similar to my SS claptons which is way less trouble to build.
I need some stainless steel. Do you think I can wrap some SS around my normal claptons to make it TC-Friendly?

What I found to work real nice is good ol ohms law. "Steamengine"
Given, it's intended for mechs, but using 4.2v and your ohms, it gives you a wattage as per the amps you would draw in a mech.
This is a very nice starting point and then you could go up or down from there to suit your taste.

I hope you don't use 4.2 V to work out your amp draw for a mech, you should be using your batteries lowest workable voltage as the higher volts will have a lower amp draw.
Also amp draw of your batteries on a regulated mod is not impacted by the resistance of the coil, so just don't let the ohms law calculator confuse you with that.
I want to disagree with you there...
4.2V with a resistance of 0.25ohm's gives you an amp draw of 16.8Amps.
3.5V with a resistance of 0.25ohm's gives you an amp draw of 14Amps.
So by those calculations lower volts=Lower Amps in a mech mod.
Haha thanks I always forget that on a mech mod the wattage changes, so used to using the lowest volts for a safety margin that it over rides my ability to think.
And its funny because my comment was not confuse mech calculations with regulated ones and I did the reverse Irony is such a cruel mistress.
