Poldiacs are a quality mod, I'm unsure if the clones are up to snuff. My favorite is my brass Stingray. Compact, super low voltage drop, looks great, wonderful magnetic button. It seems the Stingray clones often have issues with the button.
I have a copper nemmy already, I feel as though that's basically the same thing as the stingray, no? I know the FT version of the Poldiac says silver plated brass contact springs, but who knows if it really is. I feel like that has a big job in making the mod hit as hard as it does. Thing is, I want whatever mod i get to hit harder than my copper nemmy.

Umm... you do know that a mod is really just a tube for batteries, right? And the APV kind have some electronics, but still just a battery tube (or box as the case may be). "Hitting harder" is up to whatever you put on top of it. The batteries power that, but without an atomizer the batteries don't do anything useful.

I'm under the impression that some MODs conduct the electricity better than others, thus changing the power thats given to the atomizer. Is that incorrect?

Kinda-sorta this.

I guess if some measurable number is important to you go have at it, but all this voltage drop shenanigans is a bit of an over-hyped misnomer. It's not the most important spec by any means.

Want it to hit harder? Wrap your coil resistance accordingly, or buy a new generation 120W adjustable device.

Anything measuring at or below .4V voltage drop on a 1Ω coil is perfectly vapable; and there are virtually no mechs out there that perform worse than that. So I would suggest looking into craftsmanship, features, and other things that appeal to your sensibilities, instead of being so focused on voltage drop.

Just a thought to implant between your ears...

The coil build in your atty is 99% of your vape experience (from an electrical standpoint). Having a low voltage drop vs. mediocre will give you a little more oomph on the same build. If I put the same build on my Magneto and Stingray, the Stingray fires a little hotter and faster. This can usually be compensated for with the build. The low voltage drop will just be a tiny bit more efficient.

Gus Lord is my daily use. I have Chi You SS , Tahiti GP, Luxe Copper , all authentic mods but Gus is the one I normally carry and use for everything. Its telescopic , easy to adjust to different batteries. Just a very good mod.

Hi aage. Just curious about how you like your Tahiti? I've been looking at it for while now

Umm... ever hear of voltage drop? The tube actually makes a difference. And, well yeah, of course, without an atomizer nothing (not even the best $500 mod in existence) does anything useful.

lol, I can't believe she just told me that I can't vape without an atomizer lol. Do I need to elaborate about how this post sounds?

Okay guys, I just went and ordered a 69 for the feature of the side fire button.

You should have gone with the Roller by Atmizoo if you are intent on a side button. I have both and the Roller's button is superior by a hundred fold. The only advantage to the 69 is that it can be configured for either top or bottom button side fire, but in reality once you've chosen a way it never moves.

At first, I was completely against the idea of a bottom button, but they really are just as easy and comfortable as a side fire, you don't have ten billion contacts to clean regularly, and there are many more options to choose from. Once I tried a bottom button I saw no need to insist on a side fire unless there was a particularly cool design I wanted.

I thinks she was just trying to emphasize that the "tube for batteries" doesn't have nearly as much effect on performance as your build.

No, but it has a bigger effect on your vape than her post gives credit for.

I'm a MOD ..... and switch atties around like my 3 year old changes his underwear, and I can emphatically say that some MODs hit harder than others, even with the same atty and battery.

I know it doesn't have "nearly" as much of an impact as the build I have, that's obvious lol. I notice the drop in voltage when I compare my copper Nemmy, to my SS, so it does have big enough of a factor for me to feel "throat hit" and visually see more vapor, though. Maybe other people don't notice it, but I totally do.

Yes, thank you. I can totally notice the difference.
