limitless mods

[Cicada_3301]

hey ECF! just wondering which of the limitless mods are the most conductive, aluminum, brass, copper, 24k gold plated brass or platinum plated copper? Thanks!

Im looking for the least amount of battery drop off

I don't know which one's more conductive , but my copper one hits extremely well. Looks good too... Lol

Best conductivity for equal sizes metals, goes after silver, then copper, so either copper, or platinum plated copper. The least tarnishing/oxidating metal I believe is gold, but you asked for best conductivity. The platinum plating helps against oxidation, like the gold-plated brass.

Btw, not 100% sure on this, but I believe plated metals, like e.g. silver plated brass/copper, doesn't raise conductivity because the current travels through the path of least resistance, meaning not on the thin surface plating, but on the thicker lower resistance base-material, unless thin enough object so that the base material isn't least resistance anymore. Please anyone correct me if i'm wrong on this...

Plating doesn't enchance conductivity directly, metals like gold, rhodium, and platinum are very resistant to oxidization and corrosion so contacts and mating surfaces plated with them keep their surface conductivity longer.
The copper and platinum plated copper will have the highest conductivity/lowest resistance given all units are the same size and close in mass (which is another factor in conductivity, more massive objects are generally better conductors).
Common metals, conductivity in descending order:
Silver, copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, bronze.
