Stainless Steel MOD hits harder than a Copper MOD

[tayone415]

I have two hcigar clones, 1 is a stainless steel Nemesis and the other is a black copper Stingray, that I just got picked up yesterday. I'm trying to figure out why my SS Nemesis is hitting harder than my copper stingray? I used the same rda and cap and tip and even the same battery, the only thing I can think of is the top vent holes under the atty, keeps it cooler than the Nemesis and it's reducing my cloud production.

Any thoughts?


Forgot to mention I'm using the same juice too.

What are the contacts made out of on each, and are the contacts clean?

This. Clean contacts, clean threads, and a properly designed switch have just as much (if not more) to do with "hitting like a beast" than the material the mech's made out of.

Black as in painted? If the coating is on the threads it might be adding resistance for the copper mod, thus minimizing its benefits.

The Nemesis has silver plated contacts and possibly brass for the firing button, the Stingray is copper and possibly brass for the firing button. The Nemesis contacts and threading I haven't cleaned in a few days, the Stingray was brand new, I just got it yesterday and noticed the first few hits, I wasn't getting as warm as a vape and my vapor wasn't as dense or big.

The Nemesis hits harder and would have the dirtiest contacts.

It's supposed to be black chrome coated and the threads are copper, not on the threads.


I don't know if the silver plated contacts is what is giving a much better vape, or the vent holes for the atty reducing size. heat and density of my vape or both.

silver conducts more efficiently than brass. That would be the first thing I would look at.
Of course, a simple practical solution would be to simply build a hotter coil (assuming you arent using one that is bordering the edges of safety and sanity already)

Take the mod apart and clean everything - Twice for luck.
Something is reducing current and the Mod should be hitting just as hard!

Are you running one of the very Few BOTTOM air flow RDA's? If not, the Stingray air slots cannot have an effect on anything.
Cooler Vape and less Vapor is Loss of current flow.

If you knew how to use a multimeter you could find the fault in a few minutes.

It's actually copper contacts on the stingray clone, I knew silver was better, but thought the copper body and threading would perform better than the ss nemesis. I actually just did a new coil set up, the original was 26g 5 dual wrap micro coils at .3 ohms and now is 24g 4 dual wrap micro coils at .21, it feels better, but still not a hot vape, and less dense and vapor.

I'm using 3 caps 1 is drilled out to I believe 9/64 and the other to 9/64 + 2 small original air holes besides the originals and the other is a cyclops style.

I was reading that the top cap features an atomizer venting system.

Take a multi meter an test the mod with a full battery and no atty.
This will tell you alot about where the problem is (mod or atty) and you'll k ow how bad the drop really is.

Then it's all about good connections and clean contact points.

Both are solid devices and can be made to perform very well.

Noalox will help if you put a SMALL amount on the parts that screw together. It contains zinc particles that cut through thin layers of oxidation that are often insulators.

A side benefit is that it will make the clone threads feel better.
