I respect Navy and his videos a lot, also I respect Florian the modder who made this switch, and despite we cannot talk regular I also respect the guy who initially developed the electronical switch but I am not going to make many friends in Germany with what I have to say! That review video is not very fair because the GGTS/Stealth with brass parts has a very good condictivity. The Stainless Steel parts though were a fail, that is why Imeo replaced them with brass again in the current line.
Because of the problems with steel parts (especially the black marks on switch and axis which are very negative for condictivity) there is a constant chatter at least in Germany like "The GGTS has a big contact resistance which other mechanical
mods don't have" and it is repeated by everyone and anytime.
But that is not true, with brass parts, the GGTS if very nice. I compared my GGTS with brass to other modes that should be greater but the GGTS was ahead (not far but still).
Regarding to this video - I have the same equipment, the same inline voltagemeter and the same electronic switch and I made my own samples. This is what I found out:
Testsetup:
2
batteries of the same type, one discharged to 3,63V, one loaded up to 4,14V. Two Penelopes, one with a 0,9Ohms coil, one with a 1,9Ohms coil.
Test Item | Output Voltage @0,9Ohms | Output Voltage @1,9Ohms |
Bat#1, wo Switch, wo Load | 3,63V | 3,63V |
Bat#1, wo Switch, under Load | 3,31V | 3,48V |
Bat#1, with Switch, wo Load | 3,61V | 3,61V |
Bat#1, with Switch, under Load | 3,22V | 3,34V |
Bat#2, wo Switch, wo Load | 4,14V | 4,14V |
Bat#2, wo Switch, under Load | 3,77V | 3,96V |
Bat#2, with Switch, wo Load | 4,14V | 4,14V |
Bat#2, with Switch, under Load | 3,31V | 3,72V |
Conclusion: The switch helps people who have a a SS GGTS without brass parts. That is for sure, but you get more power out of your device if you substitute the stainless steel parts (Axis, Switch Axis, probably the Switch Housing too and the Upper Connection Pole) with brass parts.
