510 Metal Conductivity

[Frenchfry1942]

Got a question;

I am looking at the VS VF (Pre-order) and the VS RDNA40 and the the VF has a stainless steel 510 pin and the RDNA40 has a stainless steel/gold plated 510 pin. (stainless steel is awful for conductivity in comparison to others, but less costly.)

For conductivity, is their any difference?



Other differences are:

VF has dual batts and $189 cost and the RDNA is single and $130. Any thoughts?

Wait for "Shark week" should be cheaper...........

The gold is to keep corrosion off the pin not increase conductivity, plus it's shiny.

The VF will be heavier

If it is a regulated mod, it doesn't matter. Pick the metal that is most durable. And the voltage will be whatever you set it to.
If its a mech mod, then you should get the most conductive metal available, because you will have lower voltage drop.

When is Shark Week?

When is Shark Week?

Starts July 5th.

Trust me, you want SS. Softer metals like copper strip out eventually.

Yes, I came to that after the input and actually thinking. I am just looking and doing my homework. But thanks.
