I'm thinking about getting a copper Stillare from Infinate but was wondering if the copper will give it an "off" taste ? Anybody have one...how is/was it ?
Thanks,

But wouldn't the airflow of the atomizer play a large role in how much heat is retained as well? Copper is a better conductor of heat, yes, but when airflow is involved wouldn't that help in transferring that heat to the surrounding air instead of keeping itself hot like stainless would?
I'm not a metallurgist or anything so I have no real knowledge. Just going on what I know from building computers.
Also, as to taste I just got a copper Plume Veil clone last night and since it's still pretty new and not patina'd yet I can't really give you an idea. I'm sure someone else will be able to chime in. I did notice that it doesn't get as hot as my stainless Tobh does though, but there are many factors that play into that so again, I don't know.

Ya, Im not metallurgist either lol! But, Copper absorbs the heat, which is why its a common "sink" for tig welders welding thin material without a "backing strap". It will "soak" preventing the material from melting away from the extreme heat. Same could be said about an rda, if your getting them hot, the addy itself will absorb any and all heat it can, thus making it hot quicker all around and possibly damage/melt things its touching. I would doubt the small ammount of suction / ambient wind would have much of an impact of the heat dissipation. I only have limited knowledge from my welders at work who use it as described above. How much heat an rda can make / dissipate is beyond me.

As mentioned copper absorbs heat faster than SS, it also however "conducts" heat much more efficiently. One issue in RDAs is the top cap and consequently the drip tip getting too hot to vape, which is why RDAs like the Zenith or Plume Veil have Delrin tops to prevent the heat transfer to the drip tip. If you had an all copper rda it would likely heat the drip tip much faster and you'd have to put it down to cool more frequently.
my rda's never get too hot and I go kind of low, but I like pretty open air flow.
I went ahead and ordered a SS and a black Stillare and THEN did some reading and saw where people were saying they were finding black paint chips on thier cotton...I guess it can match the black flakes off of the the black copper Stingray that I ordered also ?
When will I learn ? Do some research on the copper only to jump the gun on 2 other things,lol
