That whole "threads don't need good conductivity" mindset is still thinking about voltage drop, instead of measurement accuracy. The whole wiring loop on a TC mod is important, not just the one-way flow of electrons from the 510 positive pin to a coil that mech users fuss about.

Think of the positive and ground paths on a TC mod as data lines, where you want the cleanest signal possible, rather than just a pipeline that throws power at a coil, and you might begin to understand why high conductivity/low resistance can be important. Dirty signal, dirty results, garbage in, garbage out.

And thats what Ill try to proof.. which seems to be true. VT40 vs HB40 act absolutly diffrent in TC Mode (v5 vs v1 AND Brass vs SS). To be more accurate i wanna wait for DNA200 (VT200 vs BOXER = Brass vs SS WITH same software).

DNA 200 uses the static resistance of the atomizer in it's tc calculations. Only variable resistance creates temp inaccuracies.
The lower resistance of the brass 510 will make no difference in tc and only make the resistance shown to be closer to an external accurate ohm meter.

Exactly -- And the static resistance of both is so little it is not measurable with other than lab quality instruments lol. Contact resistance might differ if one were tarnished or the other dirty but the resistance through the materials themselves, given the volumes involved, would not be even measurable using commonly available means. ;)

I have the reference mod, and while the 510 is nice, it needs to be deeper. The depth of the 510 on the vt200 will keep people from cranking down so hard on the threads that they would prematurely wear them out. Am I happy it's brass, no...but at least it's of good quality and design and it will surely outlive my ability to keep from buying the latest mod that comes out..
I am still not interested in the material debate...fact is that it is not based on the reference design for a 510, which IMHO is a breakthrough design. Moving to a retaining clip and 5+ pounds of pressure is the end game solution.

Got mine yesterday afternoon. Spent two hours with it on Escribe last night. I've got my Goblin Mini with Ti wire on a preset with the SweetSpot .4mm profile downloaded to that preset. This is close to if not the best vape experience I have ever had.

Very impressed with Hcigar VT200, the DNA200 chip and the Ti wire build. Happy camper am I!

Right behind you...
A video review of the VT200 that describes the Brass 510. At 18 minutes.



That's about the most asinine review I've seen in quite some time. Blaming Hcigar for a dead pixel on a board supplied by Evolv, whinging about the menu system and blaming Hcigar for Evolv's decisions, whinging about the standard DNA200 button placement, whinging about it being not big enough, and thinking a bit of silver on the brass is a sign of impending doom.

Sheesh.

No description or a review....at all....of the brass 510. He only commented that he has other mods with brass that he hasn't stripped. His comments mean absolutely nothing cuz he's not talking about the VT200.

I hope we get some better than "base on my previous Brass 510 mods.." opinions soon.

All im trying to say is I didnt have any problems with Brass 510s in past (just like guy on video).
