Are we done with the kissy kissy get a room.

0.03 volts thats it........ there is no way anyone can notice that kind of drop while vaping...

lol thats like taking two bottles of 30ml eliquid and placing them on a table. Have a person turn around and then take out 0.03 mls out of one 30ml bottle of eliquid and then asking the person to turn back around and then point to the one with less volume of eliquid....

seriously 0.03 volts won't be missed....

You won't miss the .03 volt but won't you miss your sessions polishing the brass and aluminum?

lol trust me when I say I won't miss the black gunk on my fingers from polishing aluminum or brass.

Don't get me wrong I think brass looks really nice but it tarnishes so quickly. Only if the brass had a really nice clear coating then I wouldn't mind it at all.

Thanks for the video and commentary, David. Not HBO worthy, but maybe Mythbusters. Unfortunately, mis-information is perpetual and perpetuated. It's likely that you'll have to re-post your video again in another month. *Sigh*

Hi Richie! Hello Brock!...and welcome back Rhino! I know that some of you are Dads, so big hugs for all of you!

Told you so....

David is being overly fair to the aluminum by doing these tests with clean aluminum. In normal use naked aluminum quickly oxidizes. Aluminum oxide can be better characterized as a resistive material than a conductive one.

If someone here with deep pockets is seriously concerned about moving a little DC with no higher frequency component, 3 inches through solid metal, they should ask David nicely if he will build the PV of their choice out of sterling silver which is a sensational conductor. While it, like aluminum, oxidizes, silver oxide, unlike aluminum oxide, is a pretty darn good conductor.
To the non-technical: While all true, the above is meant as nerd humor/sarcasm.

Isn't platinum a better conductor than silver? David, can I get an estimate for the cost of a platinum Precise... better do the P10 to keep the cost down...

At $1700.00 an ounce for platinum, i think we could get one built out of platinum for about $10,000. Start saving your pennies:-)

Do you offer financing?

As soon as I win the lottery, I'll be contacting you for a platinum P16. I think it will go nicely with either my Maserati, or my Lamborghini...

what about titanium costs?

not that SS isn't already perfect for 99.99% of us....just curious.
