Thanks all ya'll. Rufus is hitting that bad boy right now while I'm cucolding from the other room :w00t:
He keeps saying something like "this here's one bayud ayuss mod"

He also said, "X, I know your in that there closet bud, so I'm just gonna tell ya now, all your mods kick solid ayuss son, but there's something special about this here one"

There's the doorbell. Brb.

It's freakin Winston Dempsey. Great. Now he's in there arguin with ol Rufus for vape on it. Aw shiyut, I can't believe this - Rufus just cold cokked him. Damn, I gotta go.

Thanks a lot Corey. Look what ya dun did.

Oh, and my front doors always open for anyone who wants to help themselves to my prized mods. Come on by and get one of em. No worries. Me and / or Rufus'll enjoy a lil spice in our life. :danger: And we won't even have to fix the door that way.
Now if you could somehow put this on video it would be entertaining as all hell!

Can't wait for the VaporTrend format! Sounds awesome! :thumbs:


Hey, Paul... I have invited Magaro to join the discussion concerning 7075 vs 6061...
Hopefully he'll join us and lend some insight...

He's an American metallurgical engineer, don't ya know... Really knowledgeable dude... :thumb:

Well great minds think alike. I was going to PM Magaro about just that. I've talked to him some about the subject of conductivity. My understanding is that it has a lot to do with the way that the metal is heat treated, not so much the type of aluminum itself. Magaro to the front please ;)

I can't wait either. Excited to hear his thoughts and see the beast on camera. I know he'll proclaim it the greatest mod of all time because...in all honesty, it just clearly is :) one can tell just from photos and talking with Corey.


:blush:

Thanks, man!

I caught your latest mountaintop video... All I can say is wow,... you make a great video, man! Very entertaining to watch. :thumb:

I, too, am looking forward to Russ' video. Both of you have a gift that I am happy you're willing to share with the rest of us.

Vape on, my friend! :vapor:

Good news you enjoy my insanity bro because I'll make a vid about the cc mod too :)

I need to make a vid about the plankton farming pimps soon

Sloth, you must do a nut milk video? Just might cross the line of TMI but hey, I am lactose intolerant people! It would be cool if you brought the guy with the beard along again.

A nut milk eliquid perhaps? Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Two more words.
... amazed.

LOL - you really want me to do a nut milk video bro? I can do that. One for Hazel, one for Cashew. One for chocolate cashew - except I won't tell you the secret ingredient :evil:

Quick post about the aluminum alloy electrical conductivity issue. In virtually every case, alloying elements reduce the electrical conductivity of aluminum (pure aluminum being a curious anomaly, but it's so soft as to be irrelevant). Here's a quick link to conductivities of a wide range of aluminum alloys:

https://www.nde-ed.org/GeneralResources/MaterialProperties/ET/Conductivity_Al.pdf

Regarding heat treatment: If you peruse the table, you'll see that a T0 temper almost always yields the highest conductivity for a given alloy (where T0 is an option, which it is for the high strength structural alloys being discussed, although values aren't given for all alloys in the first link). Unfortunately, T0 is a full anneal - the softest condition. Which pretty much negates the use of a sexy high strength alloy in the first place.

Alloy designations

The 2000, 6000 and 7000 series aluminum alloys in particular are designed for uses demanding their excellent strength to weight ratio when used in a proper precipitation strengthened condition such as T6 (low conductivity, remember?). They are seldom used as electrical conductors. In many cases (vaping mods being one of these), the resistance of aluminum is dictated more by the contact resistance between the alloy and another element of the circuit (such as your battery) than by the intrinsic conductivity of the Al alloy. Silver or tin plating can be used to protect the aluminum and reduce the contact resistance, but it's difficult to implement in a vaping mod. Keeping your aluminum contacts clean and (nearly) oxide free should be your primary concern.

Here's a good read comparing the use of aluminum and copper in electrical equipment.

This is the 7075 I'm using...

You'll notice on the chart that it rates a 39.50, whereas the 6061 T6 rates a 43.00

Very, very close. I don't think there would be an appreciable difference in vape... ;) YMMV
