Ohhhh... copper will be an option again at some point? That would be awesome.

So, how about titanium?




Electrical Conductivity and Resistivity.
The flow of electrons through a metal due to a drop in potential is known as electrical conductivity. The atomic structure of a metal strongly influences its electrical behavior.

Titanium is not a good conductor of electricity. If the conductivity of copper is considered to be 100%, titanium would have a conductivity of 3.1%. From this it follows that titanium would not be used where good conductivity is a prime factor.

Electrical resistance is the opposition a material presents to the flow of electrons. Since titanium is a poor conductor, it follows that it is a fair resistor.


So there's that.....

From this it follows that titanium would not be used where good conductivity is a prime factor. For comparison, stainless steel has a conductivity of 3.5% and aluminum has a conductivity of 30%.

so this applies mainly to the structure of the mod in itself I presume? what about SS coils?

I guess that eliminates Limpet's teeth :ohmy:

Yes, but given the cross-sectional area of a mod, the conductivity of the metal it's made from isn't at all a big factor in its performance. Far more important is what happens at the mechanical interfaces between pieces. In any case, if you make me one out of titanium, I'll be more that happy to do pseudo-scientific study comparing its performance to my copper one. :D

Yes,...I believe so,....at some later date... Remember though,...copper is even heavier than brass...;)
Having held both copper and brass recently, the weight difference in not particularly noticeable.

Copper? well, how else is an old lady supposed to retain muscle mass............
How about sterling silver? That will be noticeably heavier than copper. Conductivity is also not in question with this material. :w00t:

Trouble is, I've not found sterling in a single piece big enough to use. I've found "fine" (99+% pure) in blocks that would work, but I suspect it's too soft to be practical.

I'm also not sure I'd want a mod that's actually heavier than my copper one. :lol:

I have my grandmother's sterling silver flatware, service for twelve. I wonder what I'd get more use out of, silverware or a custom sterling CC?:)

Depending upon how old it is and what maker, you can probably get a whole lot more money for the flatware.
