If the 510 on the new Drone is exactly the same as the OG, it's not a matter of if it will leak, it's when... The tube going into the 510 is press fit and it will come loose over time.

The mod can accumulate a fair bit of juice inside before it starts showing on the outside. ;)

No TC here, I stick to wattage and I’m at 52 watts. That’s about as high as I take it with the wire I use, anything bigger and the resistance gets real low. As it is, tri core fused clapton 28/36, 5 wraps.

All my experience has been with 18650’s so I’ve been overlooking 21700. Under identical use what would you say the charge life is in comparison between 2 18650’s and 1 21700?
I love 21700 mods. The 40T has 4000 mah which isn't as much as 2 18650's but will easily get me through a whole day. It is perfect for around 50W (I believe it is 30A and can do up to 90W) I am not a fan of big mods so it is nice having that much life and amps in a mod that is just slightly bigger than a single 18650 mod.

I agree...there's something about copper and it's verdigris/patiner that's irresistible....and they polish up really nicely too :)
I love it when they develop a natural patina from handling. Makes them look like something from long ago. I also like the forced patinas people do on mods too. I would never do that to the RF though.

I didn't do this, I found it on google images.

I did buy Brasso and I have cleaned my mods. But I’ll bet I just embrace the patina. I do like a bit of rustic charm, plus, I’m a lazy slob.

I think it givs them character, especially brass. The copper will make your hands smell like pennies after it gets brown.

afternoon all.
torrential rain so stopped into the pub and got us a cider.
the 3Avape luna win that was dripping in juice? 'maybe the photographer put it back in the box wrongly' i was told. really? is that why i also had to pull the squonk tube out of it with pliers? done win 3Avape then.
my billet box. turns out the up button is stuck on rendering everything else useless. had it apart twice but no fix yet. really rather annoying.
won't be around for a bit but have had a catch up at least hope you are all well.

Lol yup... which is part of the reason I don't have a copper rda on mine,
Here's the other reason. Brass is also to a lesser extent.
Copper toxicity - Wikipedia
Both are antibacterial, which is why a lot of high contact surfaces (doorknobs) are made of brass.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties_of_copper If you buy a copper rda try to find one that has
AF control insert of a different metal and minimize the amount of copper that comes in contact with the vapor. Keep it clean as green patina is the worst from what I hear.

Get a Conoisseurs polishing cloth. They are like 5 bucks at Walmart. It will greatly extend the time between needing brasso

It's a floaty day. My Kayfun is on the truck, so that will be a new thing to build. Gonna have to decide on the coil after I see the deck but right now I'm thinking simple clapton.

That Root Beer Float is one of my top favorites. I just can't stop puffing it.
