Gdeal....I'm going to armchair QB out of boredom.
Are you using both magnets?
I would be interested to see what if anything changes if you took some solid copper wire and made a "spring".....basically something just to bypass the spring. And take readings with and without the magnets.

So folks, back to the question earlier. If you had a #19 or #20 in your cart but only had the funds for one. Which would it be? I ask because I have the #20 already, and a #19 coming. But the opportunity to get either at a real good price for a backup/spare. Undecided which to grab.
What doesnt make sense is that the only thing I really changed was the NR wire mod. I even restest with a fully charged Panny CGR 18650CH and giving a .18v drop from 4.16v. But this really seem too good. With the out of the box unit this thing dropped 2x (~.4v) with fully charged batts?
I guess I shouldn't question it. If its working...just vape it.
Bap...I have both magnets in place... I'm gonna pull them tomorrow. Also gonna wrap the brass post with the silver wire to see if there is any additional pick-up.

Gdeal a 0.18v drop is great man I think you got the golden mod!
I made a few changes to mine(not done yet, ran out of steam) but am getting a 0.5vdrop on a 0.6ohm coil with a 4.0v charge, just out of curiosity what is your target vdrop?

So either my batteries really suck or your 19 is on rails.
I took and welded some 28g nickel leads on a 0.8ohm piece of 28g kanthal and hooked it directly up to fully charged AW IMR 18650 and got the exact same numbers. Even if you had a brand spanking new battery you would likely only pick up a couple of tenths I would think.
The 19 sounds like a pretty solid performer for $30

I'm not getting it either, brand new efest IMR 18350 direct to coil gets me 0.2 V drop. Is that #19 a superconductor?
.......ing magnets, how do they work...

The 19 is looking like a really nice device now that I have it in my hands. Tomorrow I'm gonna replace the NR mod with a copper plate, replace the spring, tap the bottom plate for a brass screw and close the 510 gap.
I'd definitely rather buy two of these, two rssts and enough mesh and wire for a year than spend the money on a single mech.

What ohm coil are you running? You also have to remember that 18350's usually don't have as high of a discharge rate as 18650's. 0.2v drop really isn't that bad.
Everyone thinks that any voltage drop is horrible. It should be expected. As long as it is hitting good to you, there is nothing wrong with it. The buzz word of the day is voltage drop and everyone is fussing over nothing. I don't see what the big deal is. I really wish people would stop worrying about a little bit of voltage loss that is supposed to happen.
You gotta look at it this way, you've got a coil with a resistance. You also have a device that has a resistance. Then there is the internal resistance of the battery along with the discharge rate in amps of the battery. These all play a part in the voltage drop.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I've just seen so many people making a big fuss about voltage drop and yes, sometimes you can do a few things here and there to help some, but really it probably isn't even enough to be noticed while vaping.

^You're not understanding my post, and you're making the same point I am. Look back at gdeal's post, he's showing a 0.8 ohm under load on the device, with only a 0.19 V drop.
Either its not being measured across the load, or the #19 is a superconductor.

Ok, I got you now lol. I measured my iSeason with a 1.3 ohm coil the same way as in gdeals pic with the neg at the bottom of the mod and the pos at the pos post of the RBA and got 3.5v and when I did it with the neg at the neg post on the RBA and the pos the same as before I got 3.4v. This is on a 3.95v battery with no load. So there is a little of a variance by doing it one way or the other.
Please post pics and supplies used. I really want to get mine running tip top.
Those are the modification that I've done on my NR:19. I hope you can tell from the pictures what I have modded on it.
It's pretty simple, I have removed the magnets and replaced them with brass screws.
Also a little advice from my side: Its easier to remove the magnets if you heat it up with a Jet flame lighter.

Are those standard or metric bolts? Do you happen to know the size? Anything odd about getting them in? Have you noticed a dramatic performance increase? Sorry for all the questions, I want to fix this once and fix it right. Great post with great pics, this is a huge help, thanks!
