Hi, all.
i recently purchased a copper Nemesis and, until this point, MCV's Panzer has been the most effortlessly hard-hitting mech mod I've personally come across.
the Panzer is stainless steel/brass, which have relatively high resistivities and relatively low conductivities.
according to the graphs I've been consulting, copper has a real low resistivity and impressively high conductivity.
Now, in my head, the properties of copper seem to explain well enough the impressive performance of my Nemi. But then, the contact pins in the mod are silver-plated brass (I'm aware that silver plating doesn't make much of a difference). It would seem to me that the metallurgic composition of the pins - rather than the tube body - represent the fulcrum upon which the conductive properties can be attributed. But i can't get it out of my mind that the copper body plays some role. I don't doubt the dual nano dragon coil + sub-ohm resistance of my build contributes as well, but there's just... Something different. That build doesn't kick as strongly with the Panzer or any other mod except the copper Nemi.
Can any one elucidate this for me? I'd be most appreciative!
PS, if copper really is such an effective conductor, why aren't more people using copper contacts? I saw a set of copper contact pins for the Nemi for sale on ebay, am considering going for them (hinging on what I learn from this thread, that is, as it'd be $10/pin).

PS I got mine on ebay for $33 with free shipping... I don't deal with FT any more, I got this thing for a comparable price, the 1:1 clone, arrived in 3 days
