The concept originated from a builder known as Squidoode, and it was popularized by Twisted Messes and other popular builders. A fused Clapton is essentially a parallel build that’s been “Claptonized.” Most multi-strand coils like Aliens are also fused together in a similar fashion.

The term “fused” refers to the process of wrapping multiple wires together with thinner outer wire. 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.

Moderately difficult to DIY, but attainable with practice and the proper toolsĪ fused Clapton is a thinner gauge wire wrapped around two or more thicker gauge cores.

Claptons will normally have lower ramp-up times than single-strand wire of the same resistance, but this is highly variable.

Available in power mode (mainly Kanthal, SS, or nichrome) or temperature control wire types (mainly in SS).

Claptons are available in diameters and resistances that fit most build decks on rebuildables ( RDAs and RTAs).Clapton coils come in a wide array of resistances from sub ohm to above one ohm.It looks just like a guitar string and the name pays tribute to the guitarist Eric Clapton. He created it by winding a 32-gauge strand around a 24-gauge core using an electric drill. The original Clapton coil was conceived by ECF veteran mrdee3 while watching his friend playing the guitar. Using thinner wire and a smaller internal diameter makes it possible. Originally, Clapton and similar-style coils were most used for sub ohming and direct-lung vaping, but now they’re just as likely to be used in mouth-to-lung vaping. Claptons have a slower ramp-up time than round wire builds but are considered more flavorful due to their texture and their increased surface area. A standard Clapton coil is a thinner gauge wire tightly wrapped around a thicker gauge core.
