    Actually... Getting them to your cart does reserve them. That's why I was able to spend 40 mins loading 5 items into my cart and step out for a vape before I even tried to check out. ;)

    I knew from my 1st couple of orders that if an item makes it to the cart, it's yours. It's a race to the cart but not to the checkout. I just knew what I wanted in advance and went in the order of priority. That said, I don't think I'd have risked it if I hadn't done it before.

    Do body material affect voltage drop?

    This only applies to AC and high frequency DC signals. A mech mod uses uses an unpulsed DC signal so there is no "skin effect". The current flows equally throughout the conductor.

    Lol... Any chance I can place an order through you?

    Precise ELA Telescoping Mod by Super-T!

    According to the test results David posted yesterday (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/super-t-manufacturing/425438-just-ordered-some-new-batteries.html) The Samsung INR18650-20A edged out the AW1600 IMR but only by a slim margin.

    Why pay well over $100 for a mech when a clone of it is a fraction of the price?

    Not at all... It's a legit question. Considering that there's not a single person that I know outside the forums who knows what any of this stuff is, I feel fairly secure that I'm not using any of it as a status symbol or an ego booster. There are a few vapors where I work but they're all eGos...

    Why pay well over $100 for a mech when a clone of it is a fraction of the price?

    Everything you said about the PAPS 2.5 LUX and Perseas is dead on the money. Fantastic mod and fantastic guy! I also feel the same about the P+ & ELA and Dave at Super-T.

    Why pay well over $100 for a mech when a clone of it is a fraction of the price?

    The answer is... "It depends"... One thing I like about this forum is it's diversity. We have everyone from broke as hell college kids to multimillionaires, all sharing the same space and exchanging ideas. That doesn't mean they are buying the same products. It boils down to what appeals to...

    No problem. I knew what you meant. Just figured I'd throw the correction out there so it wouldn't confuse anyone else.

    Long story short... It's all about conductivity. The more conductive the mech the more power makes it to the coil. No... They are not all created equal in this regard and the price of a mod doesn't necessarily translate into conductivity. Rather than get into the minutia, this article does a...

    Good catch! I didn't pay attention to the fact that there was a difference between the 2.5 switch and the 2.5 LUX switch.

    Actually, if all of the parts were in stock at the same time, you could build you own for less than the cost of a full LUX... Cap @ 23,50€ + Switch @ 48,50€ + Tube @ 29.50€ = 101,50€ VS Complete LUX @ 120,00€

    Just ordered some new batteries...

    Wow... I'm kind of surprised by that. Then again, that's why testing is important. :) Thank you again for taking the time to run the tests. I know you're slammed with work so I know it squeezing it in had to be a bit of a challenge. It's very much appreciated! :) Question... Have you tested the...

    Absolutely! I agree 100%. Precision machined threads that make contact across the maximum surface area and also plating the connections with non-oxidizing precious metals, both do a good job of mitigating the added resistance of a mechanical joint but they cannot eliminate it. I'm not saying...

    To add to what Perseas said, every time you add a mechanical connection (threaded or press fit) to the electrical circuit, you add resistance. This is especially true as the surfaces of the metal begin to oxidize. As a general rule, the fewer mechanical connections between the battery and the...
