natural high voltage drop

[gomjabbar]

I have the natural and I love the look and feel of the mod but im getting a really high voltage drop. In the range of 3.2 to 3.3v with a full battery. Ive sanded down the contacts to brass but still terrible volt drop. any suggestions to bring this mod out the graveyard?

It's mostly the battery's voltage drop that you are seeing. Here's a great explanation from Manu: Voltage drop under load explained well.

I have 2 other cheap mechanicals. both are drastically better with a fresh battery on the same coil. they tend to the 3.7 to 3.8 range under load.

Yeah, I have the natural as well. I have found that it's natural for the natural to have a larger voltage drop.

I haven't done any voltage tests on it, but using the same battery with the same delivery system, it takes longer to get the coil heated. And that is after sanding down contacts. A stock k100 without any modifications/sanding, hits way better than the natural.

Wow, that's quite a difference and Danny is seeing the same on his. I also get around 3.8V at 0.6 ohms on my K100. Wonder if this can be fixed with the natural.

My Natural hits like a tank, but it's been modified. It has a silver plated brass negative post. The button has been modded, and I use a hybrid adapter and a RSST.
