but understand... your not using stainless in where the post contact the battery... All I'm saying is stainless tubes and telescoping section, and avs ... which none of them conduct electricity ... Unless you didnt get my comment about being shock while vapinig ...
Actually, there isnt enough current to shock you, even if you vape at 10 volts.
The only 'small' battery that will is a 9v battery and thats only if you put your tongue on the connector.
As an fyi, silver is the best conductive material but also corrodes very quickly. This is why copper and gold plating are most commonly used (it also is significantly cheaper).
And yes, aluminum conducts electricity but as I said before, there isnt enough current to shock you. Try it - wet your fingers and put the negative end on the tip of your thumb and put your index finger of the same hand on the positive end. It will not shock you.

ok so your saying I need the whole thing to be a conductor to actually work ??? Wow, thats new to me ... so how does my plastic flash light work with the whole damm tube is made out of plastic ???
@Ripp that's how the GGTS works... it uses the metal of the body as the conductor, so when the switch touches the center post the circuit is complete...
in a flash light you'll typically see a strip of metal inside (copper usually?) which runs from bottom to top and when the switch is on it lights up.
So if you want to make GG all steel but the same conductivity you would need to install this strip of metal inside made out of aluminium.... which would make the GG fatter I guess...

All circuits need a supply and return think of it as flowing water or a circle, current flows and returns so needs a low resistance in the case of an e cig to get good results, not very good at explaining things but hope this helps understand
GG body is part of the circuit so will only work with a metal body

Explains it well

Respectfully, This is completely untrue and clearly an un-tested assertion. This has been discussed and tested in depth elsewhere however:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...yth-busters-stainless-steel-conductivity.html
Yes, stainless steel is not as conductive as many metals, but the part many have left out of the equation in their haste to quote (yet not understand) metal resistance charts, it's conductivity is dependent upon length the current has to travel. It is NOT A FIXED resistor as the resitance goes up with the length the electricity has to travel through said material. Shorter distances equals less total resistance!
In our PV's, the distance the electricity has to travel (very short) and the gauge of material it is flowing through (large), makes stainless steel an excellent candidate for use in PV's. Futher more, it is more corrosion and scratch resistant (less polishing) has much greater tensile and hardness ratings compared to aluminum (superior thread strippage resistance) and, since one can run a much thinner wall thickness when using stainless without sacrificing strength, it can often times weigh the same or less then some comparable aluminum mods.
Also, this isn't a bash on aluminum as aluminum can also be a fine material for use in mods.

Interesting wonder what drop you would get with a GGts, any way still think a good quality aluminium is a better bet as far as weight and looks go
ps was surprised someone makes a stainless mod

I will be more than happy to answer your weight and voltage issues when I review the P18. I cannot comment on the GGTS however. Imeo should make one and test it out.
PS: Billet aluminium is far superior than extruded aluminium.

aluminium is one of the best contuctors. Its very light too. It can contact heat better so heat is coming out easier from the batteries extending their life. Its the recomended metal for our applications. Simple as that. No reason to talk about this more, its useless.
I just love the way some folks deal with controversy. It never happened... please make it go away.
First of I stand corrected. I didnt know exactly how the GGTS works I never was good at anything electrical. I can put together a 980 whp 4cylinder motor but if you asked to wire it your ... out of luck.
But, my arguement was if the prodigy v3 was stainless steel why cant a ggts be one as well...
either way I stand corrected... Ok back to Sea World with the kids and the wife
Rip,
As far as the connections go....Aluminum is a better conductor then stainless steel(In most cases). That is why Imeo tends to use Aluminum or Brass because the conduct better the stainless steel.
Imeo could make a all stainless GGTS....But as he has stated before, its a lot of added weight...he prefers the aluminum...

Speaking from an aesthetic standpoint, yeah, I'd like to see PVs made from stainless. But speaking as a machinist and tooling engineer for 40 years in the aerospace industry, 308/316 stainless is a royal PITA to machine. Aluminum, as said in the trade, "cuts like butter."
FlyerTom,
Yeah, I hear ya man, I like stainless too....Its very nice to look at....but aluminum is too...I really like em both...stainless is heavier, but that doesnt bother me....
But for contact points I would prefer aluminum or brass even if the PV itself was made of stainless.
And like ya mentioned, Aluminum is easier usually in most cases to work with....

I would like to see Silver for the contacks, Batt & switch, that would really be hot and make some awesome contacts as well.
for some reason my other post didnr post.
either way I would like to say I stand corrected. Didnt know that the GGTS was working that way. I just like a heavier unit but thats just my opinoin. Either way I polished the crap out of my GGTS and man does this thing look good. If imeo ever came out with an all brass one I would buy it in a heart beat...

Alu : Better conduction but also required regular mantain, it's what makes its charm 
But i was wondering about a plating silver (alu) or gold (brass)...
Someone knows if it's decrease conduction or not ?
