I was looking to get a brass dripping atomizer to go with my soon to be brass 4nine. But then i heard some talk about it possibly not being a good idea. And then i found this article...

How to remove surface lead from brass
A solution of two parts white vinegar to one part hydrogen peroxide (common 3% solution) will remove tarnish and surface lead from brass parts when they are soaked for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. The brass will turn a buttery yellow color as it is cleaned. If the solution starts to turn green and the brass darkens, then the parts have been soaking too long and the copper in the brass is beginning to dissolve, exposing more lead. The solution has become contaminated and the part should be re-cleaned in a fresh solution.

I wanted to get this dripper...

I could get a gold plated version from focalecig.
$9.78 Enigma Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - golden

But i want the least voltage drop possible and figured a brass possative pin would work the best. Also i heard gold plated atty's have the gold plating rub off pretty quickly after being heated. Am i over thinking it?

I have the gold authentic Enigma. So far the gold plating has held up beautifully. On the cap, the pin and post.
