The eBayer never responded to my message, and now you can buy a brand new 18650 Solari on the Glas official shop, so buying these mods second hand seems kind of silly if you're willing to be patient. Not sure how long it usually takes them to manufacture new stock at the Glas shop though.

Lol
It's not the manufacturing time, it's that international shipping that causes delays.

Huh?!

I don't think many of you understand how electrical currents flow.
Most of your "drop" is internal resistance from the battery, not the tube.

I don't claim to be an electrical engineer or even an electrical expert. However, it's not the tube causing voltage drop per se, but the contacts and how they are set up/engineered. If it were the internal resistance from the battery, how would the same battery with the same full charge register different voltage drop on different mods with the same RBA under load? Obviously there are other factors than internal resistance of the battery.

Voltage drop can't be attributed to the battery, right? Isn't drop only the consideration of what happens to the voltage in the circuit after the contacts? The drop is the drop _from_ the battery's contacts... right? "Voltage drop describes how the supplied energy of a voltage source is reduced as electric current moves through the passive elements (elements that do not supply voltage) of an electrical circuit." ...the battery's contacts themselves don't supply voltage, but, but, but they're the foundation of *bzzt*

I am an electrical engineer and can tell you voltage drop attributes to any piece of conductor the current flows through. VD can be attributed to batteries because the tops and internals of your batteries are not made of copper as far as I'm aware.

Now that's a sign of the times. Think about that for a minute.

You can measure VD without the battery. I think that's what most people are doing. Batteries are almost all the same so when we calc VD we do it on the mod not the power source. What would be the point of adding the battery's VD to the equation

So your point is there would be voltage drop not only because of the battery, but also because of the mod contacts? And that voltage drop is not because of the tube?

Voltage drop is everywhere, anytime a current runs through any conductor, including batteries and tubes. My point is battery VD is inevitable, so there is no point in measuring it unless different batteries have a drastic difference between them (something I haven't personally seen). So measuring the tubes / contacts is the only measurement worthwhile. Bad ninja is making it seem that the VD measurement of the tube is pointless, it's not. The opposite in fact. I'm agreeing with you huh?

Oops sorry!

Hey no worries. Get that post count up. I always teeter totter on the Glas, so you can tell me about your experience with it and why it's looking for a new home. My favorite mech I own is a GP PapsX. The switch is just so nice on it. My first mech's switch would sometimes hold the weight and sometimes not, was dangerous and had to always always lock ring or sketchy. The craftsmanship just didn't compete with the papsX. If you've used a papsX how do you think they compare? The Glas's certainly look nice and owners seem ecstatic about them.

Still hoping on I can get Glas registered now that it's mine. Haven't received an answer either from here, nor Glas themselves.
