Conductivity... Do You Buy It ?

Yes Greg, but I was was commenting on the gist of @agenthoover opening sentence.

Some 'enthusiasts' look for the finer points and miss the whole point imo, but as you say, each to their own.

I'm happy for others to continue in their mediocrity

Ive tested the votage drop across several mods SS, copper and brass and all come in around the 4.1* V so your talking a few hundreths of a volt difference.

So one hitting like a train over another, I cant see.

More resistance is caused from dirty contacts than the material used.

Ive been having a rummage around Youtube over the past couple of days and have noticed a lot of talk about conductivity within mech mods...Oh this one hits like a train seems to be the used term, to be honest i dont buy any of it, 

Lets say Mr X is convinced that copper has the best conductivity, fine that may be so, but, people then go and put a stainless steel atty on the top which has less conductivity, so as far as im concerned you lose any of the added copper benifit once it hits the atty, if stainless is less conductive it aint going to carry all that copper goodness to the coil, which as we all know is the last piece in the chain, a far as i can see your mod is only as strong as its weakest point which in this case would be the atty, in comparison to the copper mod that is......  its like joining a thick wire to a thin wire, sorry but i dont buy any of it... do you ??

The science is true, and finding the best hitting mod is another sub-culture to vaping.

Do you need to know this kind of stuff to get the best vape for you? imo no you don't.

My take on it is if you find something you like that works for you then who really cares.

I'm with @agenthoover on this ... There is often a load of bollocks spouted by people insisting their ( normally vastly overpriced ) mod hits like a train ....
Like a lot of others have said ... The difference in materials is minimal ... Keep em clean and as long as you have good contact they'll work just fine ...

I noticed more difference when swapping between efest batteries and sony batteries that have lower resistance.

But unless your already at the lower ohms then you can adjust resistance to compensate anyhow, a lot of it ain't really noticeable to be fair.

Not done it in a while but tested voltage drop between some of my batteries and calculated watts for same mod/attie/coil with different batteries and was a difference of a few watts. You could tell the difference, between my mods wasnt much difference.

I agree with Greg and I don't buy the idea that a copper mod is going hit harder than an SS mod. Ok it will but microscopically. Connections are what count and the area of the connection is as important as the material. It is also worth noting that the voltage drop is greater when the coil resistance is lower. If each connection has 0.1 Ohms resistance then this matters little with a 1.5 Ohm coil but with a 0.3 Ohm coil then a mod which has less than 0.02 Ohm resistance at each connection would hit appreciably harder. It could make the difference between merely burning your lips and searing them.

Forgot that point, only use my mods subohm so that's why I notice a difference with batteries
