Hey I want the kind where it screws on to your pv and atty to. Because it would be easier for me not knowing what the hell I'm doing LOL do you know where to get that kind?

A couple of things will impact spring and contact resistance. The area of contact must be great enough to be a minor part of the path resistance. Steel spring are hard and may only contact at the sharp cut end. A copper alloy (pure copper while a great conductor may not maintain pressure over a long period) is not as stiff and can be formed to make a longer contact area.
Wire gage used to make some steel springs, like in little battery boxes increases resistance.
Modifying a mod may not be a good thing. Some modders have advertised "a collapsible spring" as over current protection (how lame) and replacing that spring may eliminate that protection.
madvapes sells a screw on meter.

To do an empirical test you need 2 of the same mod with the same batts and the same atomizer and the same juice, everything would have to be exactly the same except the copper spring. In other words its next to impossible. I think you are probably overlooking something else.
Well that's ok I needed a volt meter anyways because i'm getting a Genisis LV and would like to see the ohms.

They are more than likely beryllium copper battery springs or a brass (or some other conductive metal) plated ...not a solid copper spring. Like rocketman said pure copper just doesnt have enough tensile strength for a spring. But in any event it sounds like you have a good spring since it handles the current more efficiently.
You cant get your masters modding degree until you have a meter anyway!!

looks like the meter you ordered will only read voltage....wont read ohms if you want to measure resistance of the LV coil
No LOL I just want to make my atty then test to see what ohms. this won't do that? great now i got two wrong things coming.

The meters that screw onto the top of your PV are all designed to measure voltage only. You need a Multimeter to measure ohms.
They are simpler to use than they look. Set the multimeter to the lowest setting in the section with the Omega symbol(which stands for ohms). Touch the red pin to the center pin of the atty, and the black pin to the threaded outside part.

Ok sounds easy enough. So why would one want to measure voltage ?
To see what voltage your pv is putting out, at least unloaded. That was the start of the thread, how one mod was performing better than others...
The meter you ordered, at least the second one(not sure about the first), will tell you the loaded voltage, and that is where the real difference lies. Screw the atty into the meter, and screw the meter into your PV, and fire the PV. That will tell you the voltage passing through the atomizer. Most 3.7v mods for instance only get about 3.2-3.4v through the atomizer.
yes I want to see the difference between my BB and three other mods. So all is good. But I also would like to know the ohms reading on my rebuild atty.
