Hey, D!!!
Great to see you! How've you been???
Gorgeous picher, btw.
Hi Corey! It's all good here, except that winter is coming. I'm not a winter person.
I'm a daily lurker here, but I'm on a strict no-buy policy (given that my brass CC was meant to be my three years smoke-free present ... next June
)Can't keep my eyes off these beauties you are making! And waiting for the Ti/SS version
Read your comment about batteries And would recommend trying an HG2. They're all that I've been running in the CC's and with the 0.4 Clapton's, have been getting about 6mls ( give or take a bit) to the charge while hitting them hard...
Because I don't know the meaning of leaving well enough alone......I rebuilt her just now
a 28 gauge 430 SS twisted, 2.5mm ID, ohms out at .24.......holy flavor batman!
And after a couple days of use.....patina is forming. Decisions, do I let a natural patina form, or find some Never-Dull......(I have Brasso, but I don't like the way it leaves micro abrasions on the brass)

I will look at them when these start to wear out. The current build I have going is about as low as I EVER build, which is drawing just over 17 amps, so these are doing ok. The problem becomes finding LG's and Sammy's....all the shops around here seem to want to carry all the "special vape batteries".....a bunch of re-wrap crap shoot batteries. They never listen to me and stock tried and true cells, they want to carry the "fad" batteries, cause that is what sells I guess
The only credit card I own is a prepaid I load up once a month for bills...guess I will have to put a bit extra on there and get some cells on line
The HG2s are my favorite as well, so when you go to get more batteries RTDvapor is a good place to order them on the cheap but authentic.
@distortoblotto thanks brother. Still new to rayon so I appreciate the feedback my friend it's vaping great!

it's vaping great!I recommend the LG HG'2, as well. It's the battery I'm using to set the mods up, these days.
illumn dot com has 'em for $5.99 each, right now.

Not that it makes much no nevermind.Trunker has a point. With the cross sectional area we're talkin' about with these mods,...there shouldn't be any real difference.
But body to cap cross sectional area is the least of our worries when it comes to conductivity.
Least area is the point of contact on the battery + terminal.
Second least area is + contact to + pin.
Third least area is + contact to atty + post.
All the above will be identical from one CC to the next. Where conductivity comes into play that would be with the exception of your choice of brass or SS + posts... Likely an unnoticeable difference.
Fifth least area will likely be negative post to battery.
Sixth will be negative post to mod body.
Seventh will be 510 to atty.
Eighth will be 510 to top cap.
Then the huge area between the body and top cap.
Machining, construction and choice of materials make the CC shine more so than area IMHO.
Goobers in the threads or press points would make the product suffer.
Becu spring with solid silver contact makes for a solid electrical contact point even with small area. A perfect solution as the contact was engineered for instantaneous contact switching @ 30 amps @ mains voltage. That area can be improved with selective, careful sanding.
Keeping your screw down connection points snug allows for great conductivity through materials.
Only place mod material choice should have a chance to make a difference is neg post to body connection and cap to 510 connection.
All your choke points are at or below the 510.
Though for someone to say they could tell a difference... I'd surely be interested in quantified raw data. Otherwise, I'd insist the person was lacking in some essential marbles.

Maybe for common folk.
My beater gets the day in, day out struggle.
Then I come home to my precious... soon to be 4 (thanks to pd he b).
As it should be.

Feel free to refer to it or its parts whenever need be.Thanks for takin' the time to break all that down, Beck. Good stuff!
Though, the cross sectional area is a great asset, it gets referred to incorrectly pretty often.
As we can see, it's the least of our concerns when it comes to conductivity.
Even a Ti CC would incurr more concern and less area of contact for conductivity through Ti at the neg pin to mod body and 510 to mod body areas.

I've referred to it often, and I mean in the body of the mod itself when discussing different materials. When you have that much cross-sectional are in a conductor compared to the amount of current it's carrying, the resistivity of the material is not all that important in the overall scheme of things. What is important is how the material acts at the interfaces, i.e. where other conductors are screwed into it, and where the body meets the cap...
squonking...where have you been all my life? 
I'm in central CA . So much Science goes into vaping now days.. makes me think I better think twice about purchasing a new Mod.I know how you feel....they are way out of my price range too, but I has a guardian angel
One thing I can say with certainty is that there are only 2, possibly 3, mods that I can vape until the battery is down to 3 V. My brassy and 'Pinches will keep going even at that voltage. I'm sure the copper would as well, I just haven't pushed it that far yet. On my 7075 I still get a significant drop off under 3.7 V. I'm not sure why that is but it would seem to me to be directly correlated to the overall resistance of the mod in total.
The 'Pinch has an advantage over the CC in this respect as the voltage has a relatively short path, bypassing the body altogether.
I can't say that I notice a difference between the 3 bodies in the way that they vape or how hard they hit, but there is definitely a quantifiable difference in their efficiency.
For what it's worth.
Methinks you have an issue with your 7075 CC.
Dirty contact somewhere
Dissimilar metals causing corrosion via electrolysis
Connection not making full contact somewhere
Dunno
Electrically speaking, the solid body of the CC should provide less resistance than the path of the pinch by shear mass alone. Material choice be damned.
With the exception of extra connection points. Which I think you may be referencing.

It's possible but all receive the same care and maintenance and it's been pretty consistent since I got them
To be clear, I am not dissing the aluminum, it (as well as brassy, copper and a 'Pinch) still goes with me everyday.
I was leaning toward not being a care issue having met you.It's possible but all receive the same care and maintenance and it's been pretty consistent since I got them
One thought I had was maybe in tapping the body for a neg post on that particular unit, the threads wound up a little looser.
Or something along those lines.

My truck is overdue on an oil change but my mods get babied, used and carried but babied.
It will be interesting to see if a new silver negative contact changes things.
squonking...where have you been all my life?
Right here, waiting for ya
It doesn't matter how long it took to get here, only that you are
Glad you are enjoying
