Best low voltage drop off mechanical mod clone?

[DraganPDX]

Is there a good low voltage drop off mod clone? Or do you have to drop the big bucks for something like that and get an OEM version.

Seems like the copper mods hold voltage the best? I find that I have to clean the treads on my S1000 mod from corrosion every few weeks or there will come a point where it wont even fire.

The brass and copper Nemesis clones by Hcigar are by far awesome! They have less voltage drop than most authentic Nemesis mods other than the authentic brass Nemmy. Not always but for the most part those clones are very well built.

EHpro's panzer clones are good as long as you make sure all of the threads aren't coated (if you get the blackhawk). I found the Chi-you and Origin clones are pretty dope as well.

I have a nemesis clone and sentinel clone I've noticed the sentinel has less then my neme imo

Working in a vapor shop I have tested every one we've ever had. The best I've found is the infinite black copper stingray. Reads 0.5 voltage drop with a VTC5. Second was the copper nemesis clone by HCigar at 0.7.

What was the voltage drop off on the worst one you tested?

copper and black stingray clone mine is fantastic vapes with a black fogger v4 great

What was the resistance of the coil? My black copper and brushed brass stingrays (both from Fasttech) are by far the hardest hitting mechs I have. About 0.15v drop at 0.85 ohms, with a vtc4, on both.

I just ordered the H - cigar nemesis copper clone silver pins magnetic switch conversion I don't have a voltage meter (I do have some electric meters on the garage) but I'll compare it to my brass S1000 mod and let u know how it hits.

Oh yes, of course you have to $pay$ for a 0.01 ohm battery tube.

Wow, I was tired or drunk that night. Forgot the 0's. Voltage drop tests were done using a fluke 87V dmm, vtc4 battery with no atomizer attached.

Stingray was .05 and Nemesis was .08. I tried testing with atomizers on a couple of times but I have yet to find a truly accurate volt meter that can test under load. All the ones I've used that measure by connecting to the 510 connector have been off by .03 - .06. Makes a big difference when that 0.3 changes the amps by 2.

Forgot to mention these tests were not done straight out of the box. I always clean all the threads as well as the contact points thoroughly with a microfiber towel and no-ox-ID. It does make a difference.

i have 2 yesmo caravella clones and they have little to no volt drop. Tests 0.17 volt drop at a super low .2 ohms. Crazy for a 20 dollar mod right!? gold plated brass telescopic contacts. I have a custom copper panzer on the way i will have it in 2 weeks and will post the drop on that. I have a few other mods but the vellas have the lowest drop so far aside from my valkyrie hybrid which i cant test with my inline drop meter.

You know, the voltage drop doesn't tell us anything without knowing the load.

Then we could figure out the mod's ohms for ourselves, which is the real number you'd be interested in.

Exactly. It's actually the resistance of the mod that's sought, which together with the battery's internal resistance results in different voltage drops depending on the resistance of the coil. Which is to say, voltage drop is the result of a number of factors - not the starting point - and is therefore not a constant or an attribute of the mod only. The voltage drop without load is (or should be) practically nonexistent with any mod.

Agree here

I see a lot of people use clones, good to hear I'm ready to buy my first mech mod soon and am thinking nemesis

I prefer stainless steel but I been eyeing this particular buy because it come with enough pieces for
"Maximum supported battery length: 85mm"
Which should be enough for an 18650 plus an optional kick:

and this king style mod with
max supp bat length of 80mm

Of all the mecanicals I have (about a dozen), the HCigar brass Chi You has the least drop under load, but I don't have/don't like copper (to soft a metal)

The worse is an easy call, my Zen-2 DX probably has as much drop as the rest of my mechanicals COMBINED!

Good to see some folks pointing out the particulars in regards to v drops.

So much goes into it it's almost arbitrary.

Then you go and put an atty on it, and there's another link in the chain.

If you have any kind of RBA, you can build to overcome v drop anyways. I never really saw the point, unless it's absolutely terrible, as in some of the side button mods.

A point of reference, I suppose.
