    I have a white, black, and titanium one. After two weeks, I want to replace the white and black one because I feel they're under-performing. The titanium still works like a champ. The white and black are becoming hard to hit(like something is restricting airflow) with less vapor.

    the gold connectors on my black ones seem to tarnish quicker too...
    But the reason I say that I think my stainless ones performs better than the black ones is that it seems to me that the heat doesn't build up as much or dissipates quicker on the stainless atty...the black seems to hold it longer..

    Color is just that ... Color. A manufatcturer is not changing the product componants because the case is decoarated differently. A genuine Joye battery is a Joye battery. A generic is a generic. There may be differences in performance.

    are you !00% certain of that..
    the way I see it stainless and titanium are just different polishes of the regular metal where as the black or white are painted on..
    which is why theres a how to video about how to take a white ecig and turn it into a silver/platinum one just by using a light sanding cloth and buffing off all the paint...
    Now having said that,,if the atty is painted black and black color tends to retain heat.. to me it stands to reason that the black atties would heat up more/ retain that heat longer..
    I'm not saying that it changes the performance of the inside of the atty or the battery in any way..just that in my experience my stainless one disipates the heat quicker so I can vape more before I have to put it down..

    I have black attys and white attys, but they are from different vendors...the white attys draw MUCH easier than the black to both myself and my DH.

    Difference between manufacturers?

    The stainless steel may just be polished, but all the others, including titanium and copper are painted.

    Perhaps. Perhaps the drill bits to put in the vent holes are slightly difference. I've noted a small difference in the hole diameters between colors and/or vendors. This it seems is the only physical reason for a difference in draw between two brand new attys. With use, the amount of wick under the bridge might be factor, which I found can get easily gunked up with thick tobacco juices. Had some black TW titan attys that I was ready to toss because although they worked they were SO hard to draw through. That leads then to overheating which can kill the heater. Soaked them for a couple hours in Crest Pro-Health mouthwash (PGA did nothing), and they are almost better than when they were new now! Its wonderful when something so simple and inexpensive makes it seem like you have suddenly added many months to your vaping supplies.
