Cheers Crispy....Got a 0.5 clapton in a dripper and seems to be working well, The only problem now is that all of my drippers are just a bit small for the coil in that there's not much room for the cotton.
Looks like I'll be looking for a more suitable dripper or tank in the near future if I want to use this on a regular basis.
Actually, regarding Troepfler's last post where he mentioned 2 X 0.40 ohm coils = 0.80 ohms - he was referring to building on a series DECK, which is a very good suggestion if you can find onewill effectively double the resistance of two coils - instead of a standard dual coil build deck which uses the coils in parallel and halves the resistance of each coil.
If you can find a dual coil RDAS with a series build deck that will make it really easy to find pre-made coils that will be suitable.
If you already own a dual coil RDA with a standard parallel build deck you could try a pair of multi-wrap single core claptons, but you will have a tough time making a pair of 2 ohm coils that will actually fit. A pair of 10 wrap Ni80 26ga 3mm i.d. will have a resistance of close to 0.80. I know this will provide more power than you want to start out with, but this will be shared between two large coils so it will not be hot and overpowering - in fact I would be very surprised if you didn't decide it isn't quite enough and remove a wrap or two to make it a little more lively. It is worth a try if you have a 24mm or larger RDA/RDTA available - and a cheap spool of regular Vandy Vape 26/35 Ni80 Clapton will do the trick.
Good luck
