As usual, great video Supe.

I watched from a nook in the other end of your basement. Actually didn't steal it but I sure did vape on it while you were sleeping.

Simple answer McPuff get on the list now for a second, love my brass beauty but looking forward to no.2 Alu 7075 [emoji4]

Brass is a better conductor, no doubt...
That being said,.... I notice no difference, personally. They both hit really hard.

Great pic, Robbie!

i totally agree!!! but which one to get first?

Great pic, Robbie!

yes it is. and the sun is out. i didnt think you guys had a sun across the pond

 

[RobbieVape]

I don't think there is a wrong choice however how do you intend to use. The brass is pretty weighty but for a home mod nothing feels better. If your taking out and about if say go 7075. I've had the brass out but it's not a shirt pocket mod if that's your thing

Funnily enough the sun popped out just as I took my seat [emoji6]

i have an aluminum full size mod from another maker that is similar. it is heavy. but the cc is much smaller so im thinking that the brass should only be a bit heavier than the mod i currently use. plus i have some light wood ones. decision made. staying with brass. sorry for taking up the thread. i guess i had to work that through.

Thank you bro. Yes it's tiny and feels like it was made for my big hands too. Vector get there yet?

Not yet it's out for delivery so I should have it by 3. I've got the kids hawking the mailbox for me [emoji16]

Really glad I got my order in before Super X's video hit the airwaves! [emoji3]

is there much difference in the way it hits. i would imagine the brass would "hit harder" due to the conductivity of brass. but you use a brass pin so i dont know.

There is such a large cross section of metal available for current to flow that any difference would be hard to measure little lone have a noticeable impact on how hard it hits. The contacts are going to be much more important to voltage drop. That said, if some curious CC owners would like to send me one of each and the one off copper one I will do my best to try and measure what the differences are. Figure it would be my civic duty. Might take awhile though.

The question with a mech mod is always: "Where do the losses actually occur?" I'm confident they're not in the material of the body itself. Due to the very large cross-sectional area, conductivity (or a relative lack thereof) in the metal of the body itself contributes almost nothing to the losses. The losses will be at the contact points. That's between negative terminal of the battery and the brass negative contact screw; between the screw and the body, between the body sections, and at all the contacts in the top section.

The biggest advantage to brass (and copper!) over aluminum is probably at the joint between the the two body sections, particularly after that area oxidizes some. The oxide layers that form on aluminum tend to be much better insulators than the oxide layers that form on brass or copper.

Edit: Mundy ninja'd me. That's OK, I've done it to him too.

Do you have an actual 4-lead milli- or micro-ohm meter?

 

[custom-classic]

Man,...things've been super crazy today.... Can't seem to figure out why???

Anyhow,... the work must continue!!!

Coming along nicely...








Robbie, Mundy and Rossum, thanks for the help! I really appreciate it!


And, Rob..... if I wasn't jealous before,.... I dang sure am now! Awesome pics, buddy!

I have a Keithly 580, but it let the magic smoke out years ago so I homebrew'ed one from an older digital bench style meter to measure microamps, some breadboard'ed components for the constant current source, Kelvin clips, calculator, and my handheld Klein CL2000 meter to measure microvolts. Checked against a newer Keithly owned by a friend and my Frankenstein was within .002 ohm measuring at .1 and .05 ohm

that's what I have to.

only, I built mine with my eyes closed and a hunk of cauliflower poked into one ear.
