Result is still meh.

And today I nearly fk up. My atomizer had the 510 connector slightly loose. I was wondering.. Gmm why isn't my mech mod firig for more than 3s? Tried on my SW. Same thing happened. Recoiled and still the same. I went to see my 510 and phew. I tightened, everything worked fine.

Could've fking died man. Newbie mistakes. And I found out.. My mech mod actually sort of unscrew it a little. Argh.

^ AYEEE!

remember to clean the threads and contacts once in a while. That thing hits like a beast

Heheh finally! One more coming soon hohoho
The stingray hit so much harder than my fuhattan. Feeling pathetic with my fuhattan. Guess is the voltage drop? Any ideas? Same tank same ohms same batt. Fuhattan is using copper tube as well. Hmmm

Might just be a matter of cleaning the contacts. I've played with a FUhattan before and it definitely hits hard too.

Check all the threadings on the mod. As well as the positive and negative contacts

Tried cleaning all the contacts and still feel the same. The hits is never stronger than stingray. Maybe is the positive contact which I am unable to get it out. Tried turning with pillars but it's like stuck... so just cleaning the rest. Hahah actually is just wiping with cloth or tissue :x

The voltage drop across the stingray is about 0,09V , whereas for Fuhattan has been a mixed, ranging from 0.18V to 0.42V. I don't own a Fuhattan so I'm not sure about the setup & specs.

Like @TheKiwi has said before, might want to take a look at the contacts. Both are armed with silver plated copper contacts for maximum conductivity, so the difference should be minimal. Otherwise might be just innate differences that resulted in this (aka. i have no idea what else might contribute to this). Actually not just contacts, springs /buttons do actually contribute to voltage drop (and also quality of batteries that you're using, but i am assuming that you've been using the same battery for comparison). Might want to do a brief scan through your elements in the circuit to rule out the possibilities. And a good thorough cleaning usually will see the difference. Well, only if you measure via a voltmeter, to be sure.
I've read before somewhere in this forum (on ECF, not just SG Vapers) that someone actually used a copper tape to improve the voltage drop across his mod.

Haha actually for me I measured before

On a 0.35 ohm load, my vdrop on the stingray x was 0.11

Using the same load, my freshly cleaned fuhattan was only 0.16. So the difference is small.

I'm also crazy .... about maintenance though.

For copper threads and contacts, use either 99% isopropyl alcohol or even vinegar (ketchup works too btw) on the threads. Then I apply a thin layer of deoxit gold on all threads and contacts.

Mot probably is the 510 pin from the GB M cause when it's on Fuhattan need to be unscrew a little as the contact pin is pretty deep inside and i am unable to get it out. Most probably stuck. Contacts cleaning but most probably is the surface area of contacts between the 510 pin and contact pin. Yeah batt wise both on full charge. HB6 is on the way here so gonna try once it arrive. Waiting for my friend to pass me his mutli meter. Fuhattan is too width to squeeze on to my ohm & volt meter adapt by coil master. Cool shall look up on that :)

Ketchup?! Did you have a nice tomato after-taste? haha. Tobasco can or not? :p

I would think for starters @MMQWDA can use alcohol solution to clean his parts first. Can try youtube to see how others fully dismantled their kit. Deoxit Gold abit too advanced. Hehe

Shall try cleaning it again, see if it's better hohoho
I just wash and use wet tissue to wipe follow by air drying hahah You are way crazy about the maintenance. It does you good actually hahah

Haha I learnt that from other ECF members! At first I also damn confused then I tried it out on one of my copper mods. It's actually insanely effective. But must wash daaaaamn gao after that if not your hand will smell like tomato soup [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] apparently our ketchup has a lot of vinegar in it

But ya! Isopropyl alcohol is very very effective too.

Haha ya but the problem is that when aluminum, copper and brass oxidize, washing with water doesn't remove the oxidized layer off. That's why you need IPA or vinegar :)

That's the pains of owning a mech lor. Indestructible but comes with a price

Yeah know how to dismantle all my mechs already, except the contact pin for fuhattan. Don't wanna go so hard in trying to unscrew and mess up the pin. hahah
