So I picked up a "Noble" clone which is called the Hybrid Elite (manufactured by Rainbow). I really like the product; however, I seem to be experiencing a fare bit of voltage drop.

My question is: would applying the "Bare Paint Pen" product to the hot spring aid in conductivity? The existing spring seems to be made out of some cheap type of metal and is questionable in terms of conductivity. The bottom spring is certainly not brass or copper.

Also, how about if I paint the bottom of the atty connector (the pin that makes direct contact with the battery?)

Just trying to find some way to boost mod's output.

Thanks

First thanks for that link: I'm gonna buy some for general prototyping of low voltage/low current circuits. But, it won't do much good for higher power applications such as running a couple of amps to a load. So I doubt that it would help with your application.

See this link for the Datasheet, and look at page 3, as it gives examples of the resistivity of particular trace lengths and widths.
