Hey guys, first off, I'm not really new to vaping, although I definitely wouldn't call myself a veteran. I started 8 months ago, and since then I've watched countless hours of videos, I've tried my best to educate myself on everything, and I'm about to buy my fourth mech mod, but I have a few basic questions that I'm still sketchy about.
Connections
So, I'm slowly getting into the long process of learning about and trying cloud-chasing. But I want to know how much of a difference there is in voltage drop between copper contacts and 24k gold plated brass contacts, or silver plated brass, or solid brass, etc. Should I avoid mods that have copper contacts, or is it not really a big deal?

Clones vs Authentics
Now I've done a lot of research, and I don't feel like authentics are really worth it, but it seems to me each side claims different things. I look at it from a technical standpoint, and the only real difference I could imagine would be between the materials used in the contacts. So what's the big difference between authentics and clones? Is it just to be able to brag?

Difference between variable voltage/wattage mods, box mods, and mechanical mods
Obviously there is some aesthetical difference, and box mods can hold multiple batteries but I've only ever paid attention to mechanical mods, so is there some big huge great difference I'm not seeing here? And what is the difference?

Thanks guys! :)

contacts:

I prefer silver plated, but copper is fine, just needs more maintenance with cleaning any oxidation on contacts.

clones vs. authentic:

Clone are a crap shoot, lucky if 3 out of 5 are acceptable, usually turns out to 2 out of 5. Authentic, :D usually never a problem, only have one authentic that was a disappointment. Best vape value is authentic.

Diff btwn vv/vw & mechs:

the line gets finer daily. Regulated has circuitry for safety and protection, and can be adjusted to you vape preference. Mechs, the vaper is the only safety device, relies on ones knowledge and skills. The ohms of the build determines the watts vaped at. Both can attain very high watts in vaping. Regulated delivers consistent vape at level desired, mechs, watts drop off as batt voltage drops.

Vape is progressive and evolving daily.

Hm, I guess that's certainly something to consider. But when I can get about 5 clones for the price of 1 authentic, I have a hard time seeing the worth, even if they do run out after a while.

Black Sabbath has been a big part of my life. I have been to many concerts and have every (Ozzy - Black Sabbath CD). Though I do have Born Again with Ian Gillian. Zero the Hero is good tune :)

Vol 4. Is one of my favorites, I was back and forth with Vol 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as an albulm cover avatar.

Black Sabbath had a revolutionary kind of sound in my opinion, they were beautifully unique. 13 turned out to be quite a nice album too.
