Leto.JPG

Really in love with this setup. The Leto RTA from Titanide, with a Leto 2 mod. The RTA is one of the few that can keep up with me (looooooong steady drags--chain vape--why I love RDTA's), and it's an easy single coil build. It shed a tear on the first day I had it set up, and hasn't leaked a drop since. Nice ventilation and vapor production.

The Leto 2 mod, also from Titanide (French vape manufacturer) is all titanium, except for the silver plated copper contacts. The switch is ultra smooth, but the locking ring takes about 5 turns to close completely. Titanium may seem like an odd choice of metals for a mechanical mod, since it's the second least conductive metal. It's twice as conductive as mercury, though. The voltage drop is better than I expected, but not great, about 200mV.

But titanium is also light and strong, and the crew at Titanide are truly awesome machinists. It's also hard to work with, since it's so strong. The mod is 24mm at each end, and tapers to 20mm in the middle. Where you see the Titanide logo cut out of the middle, the metal is only 1/2mm thick. This makes for a excellent ergonomic shape, as well as keeping it very light. It weighs 1.9oz unloaded, and the setup as pictured full of juice weighs 4.3oz

Didn't mean to ramble on, but I love this setup. Plus a big shout out to Le Petit Vapoteur (also in France) for their incredible service.

It's worth checking their site out just for the graphics. Plus, they give you both a piece of candy and a refrigerator magnet with your order. The loyalty program kicks .... as well.

Here’s a question, if titanium is a poor conductor of electricity is that why someone would use titanium for an electrical device probe?

Certainly not for conductivity. Carbon and treated mylar both have titanium beat in that area. Likely for its lack of capacity. It doesn't make much noise of its own, which I imagine would be very important in some types of medical equipment. The voltages involved are frequently very low. A clean signal is probably more important than a higher level of conduction. Copper is the "noisiest" metal and titanium is the "quietest".

Quietest in the sense that if I hit a titanium rod with say a drum stick it’s be quieter than a copper rod?

For longevity, titanium is tough. So tough Lockheed Martin had to pioneer ways to mill it for the SR71 Blackbird.

This is why they don't use copper wire in cars. You'd never be able to hear your sound system. Copper makes a bunch of RF all on it's own. Carbon and aluminum don't generate much RF at all.

I think that the copper rod would be louder. They don't make bells out of it for nothing.
