The smaller the voltage drop, the harder the mod hits. It's about efficient power delivery.

Except that a lot of people use the phrase without backing their opinion with facts. To compare 2 mods side by side in terms of "hitting harder", there needs to be a constant. Same battery, same voltage on said battery, same atomizer with the same coil, etc.
IMHO it is an irrelevant term when describing a mechanical device unless the proper steps are followed to validate it.

There are plenty examples of voltage drop tests proving some mods hit harder than others.

i don't know I can't really tell a major difference between the majority of my mods. My chi you, nemesis and caravela clone all seem to work close enough to each other that I can't tell that one outperforms the other. I switch toppers too much to really pay much attention to that stuff.

I am more concerned with wacky 510 connectors, mods that go off without being locked, toppers not matching flush, wacky firing buttons that loosen over time, etc than what mod hits like a larger freight train.

Indeed there are, but those very same tests can be flawed outside the test environment due to dirty contacts, dirty threads, battery type / age / voltage and coil resistance to name a few.
As a rule, your newest purchase always hits the hardest. :D

I agree. The difference is going to be so minor with most mods that it doesn't even matter. Unless there's a major design flaw, it's a non issue.

With that said, there's 2 mods I'm lusting after right now and one is because it's beautiful, comes with a magnetic switch and has a seriously low voltage drop, the Stingray.

My Nemesis clone has an engraving of a train on the switch. Does that mean that a large freight train is hitting me everytime I press the button?

Mech Mods "Hitting Hard" - What does that mean exactly?

Slang
Conjecture
Assumption
Personal opinion

Mod delivers Power from the Battery.
This is either Very Efficiently delivered with minimal Voltage Drop or Not.
The more voltage drop the less efficient the Mod is and the less enjoyable the vape may be.
Those fighting for .001 increases are simply Tweak Freaks more concerned with Current flow perfection than Vape enjoyment.:)

Yes and it hits harder than a passenger train for sure. I am not certain if it hits as hard a circus train, but it is debatable.

I let my wife hit my Nemesis with a freshly charged 18490 with a KFL clone set with a dual barrel .8ohm. She almost hit the floor, it was funny. She always made fun of my mods, saying the size and weight was ridiculous, and all she'll use are automatic cigalikes, and now, she told me yesterday that she wants me to take her to some B&M to look at some mods.

I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully now she'll quick smoking!
