Don't know where this year went, but as they say, the older you get the faster time goes, and for me they are flying by. :)
jup.....but even when my son was in HS time flew by for him. I think a lot of it that we're just wayyyyyy busier than when we were young. We didn't run around like chickens with our heads cut off so much.

The safest way to eliminate the minimal voltage drop from the spring would be to solder the spring were it is riveted together .You would gain back that almost unnoticeable drop and retain the safety of the spring . I will never make a mod without a spring its not worth the risk .

What I can do is make some of these springs up for people that want them . The only problem I can think of is what to call them

Done a little test on the soldered spring ideal.
Used an older Grand with gold contacts and spring "non adjustable 510"
Charged AW 2200 mAh 18650 battery @ 4.19 volts .9 ohm coil.
Soldered the crimp on the bottom as well as where the spring makes contact on the top side.
Paint removed where spring plate contacts the mod, every point of contact to the mod and spring was cleaned with Deoxit cleaner followed with Deoxit gold.
Two 2 second test lowered the battery to 4.18 volts so that was calculated in the second test with the soldered spring so nothing was changed.
I got 1/100th of a volt difference!

Hey Bob, since this would be offered based on request from very low ohmers... any chance of testing the welded connection on a .2 ohm? minimum of .4 ~ .5?

Even that is above what i normally do these days (on other mods), but the reo already does mighty fine on a 1 ohm resistance. .9 is pretty much the same.
