I learned long ago to not try to answer a question I don't know enough about to be 100% sure. I agree that in theory it does sound much better. My reference to the Vaseline is based soley on Imeo's recommendations and not any personally gained knowledge.

I do know the subject came up during the debate about Noalox and whether to use it or not. Hopefully someone well versed enough with real knowledge in this area can give you a better response Dalton.

I'll admit I haven't tried noalox on my SS GGTS (or ever), but what I am tempted to try is using DeoxIt Gold inside the switch contacts and +/- terminals inside the battery tube. From Real World experience, I have reduced the total resistance of a maglite from .5740ohms to .3962ohms (Tested under load) using the same technique. The only difference is I am running that maglite at around 10 amps and 21 volts, and at that high of current, a little bit of resistance makes a huge difference in voltage reaching the bulb and therefore total watts and lumens. But the concept would be the same, just scaled down.

I could do a before and after test on resistance of an SS GGTS with DeoxIt Gold applied, reading the voltage across a debriged atty before and after and measuring current by removing the switch and using my DMM from the negative battery post to the body tube. Would be interesting to find out but tricky to execute...

I cant remember which thread it was but I posted a link to Deoxit gold and was curious if it would be helpful, I would much appreciate updates if you decide to test.

Okay, it was late last night, perhaps dielectric grease was the wrong term... I know there is a grease out there used to decrease electrical resistance between plug contacts.

I would also like to see the results of Deoxit.

Well, Noalox prevents aluminum oxidation, not really necessary on SS ones IMO. Imeo has always said vaseline as it will not react with juices and/or get vaped up like a grease/noalox could when applying at joints that come into contact. I use vaseline all over my SSs fwiw, noalox on my older ones........

Hey Imeo -- when are you sending me the VV Beta unit?!??!?! <--------wishful thinking!!!

 

[Stinky Uncle Ed]

OK, I will run a resistance test using DeoxIt Gold. For the baseline, I will clean all contacts with rubbing alcohol before measuring, and then re-measure after applying the DeoxIt Gold. I'll create a thread for it early Monday morning I'm guessing.

I am working on it ripple!!

Work harder work faster, come on Imeo I dont have all day! Just kidding or am I? I am just so pumped to get the VV as an add on, from the sounds of it you are really gonna outdo yourself on this one, did I mention how excited I am? Awh man this 3.7volt batt isnt hitting hard enough for me on my gg stealth, oh no problem let me just grab my VV add on.

 

[imeothanasis]

Thanks vanhalen my good friend

I know about 3,7 volts. When I was making HV atomizers I knew why I was making them lol.

Do you have an Iatty?

 

[Repent]

I'm definitely hooked on 6v vaping with DC cartos. Cannot wait until the VV is available.

yEAH but I have not had much luck with the resistance that I enjoy(1.5) It seems that I can only make a coil last a day at best. I use 1.5ohm atties and at times it still isnt satisfying but that is usually at the end of the charge, the reason I will love the VV add on is for the consistency, set it to 4.2 or 4.4 and continue to get that the entire life of the charge.

 

[imeothanasis]

Do what I do vanhalen. Make a coil at 1,5 ohm. Vape it until it stops satisfying you. Then open the cone as much as you can and hit it at 6 volts with full of liquid Iatty. Then we talk again buddy

Now THAT sounds amazing

Falicy of adding metals to increase Conductivity: Many contact greases have copper, zinc or other metals blended into a grease to increase conductivity. In a study for an aerospace company in 1985 it was concluded that putting a metal into grease does not help conductivity. In many cases it reduces conductivity. The United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation in their Facilities instruction Journal Volume 3-3 Electrical Connections for power circuits states in Sec. 6.3.2 that "Use of grease with embedded zinc particles will cause a poorer connection due to the lower conductivity of zinc". The purpose of a electrical contact lubricant is to prevent corrosion and lubricate the connection for easier maintenance.

I hope this helps answer the question of grease on the subject of conductivity... all any grease can really do for you is to lubricate threads and help prevent corrosion... it also makes it easier to take apart for repairs which is why dielectric grease is sold at auto parts stores most common application is to grease the boots of your spark plugs to prevent corrosion and make changing your spark plugs the next time less of a knuckle buster experience... unless of course your looking to have lower conductivity performance by using a zinc based lubricant... dont use zinc... vasoline is just as effective as anything else to grease your threading and o-rings of your GG stuff and wont taste nearly as bad should you get a bit excessive with your lubrication in your iAtty UFS or AVS...
