You might want to try Argentium while you're at it. Not as soft as pure silver but slightly higher silver content than sterling. Doesn't oxidize as quick as sterling either.

LG422 is just as tarnish resistant as Argentium, but it also has a higher Vickers rating at 1/2 hard than argentium. Full spring hard silver was not fun to work with.
My main concern is the contacts still being light enough but maintaining the springiness. I think the LG4222 (still sterling) will be just fine in the thickness I want.

I wasn't happy with the SS fused clapton I was using in the Hadaly so today I put a 28gx2/36g Kanthal fused clapton staged with 28g SS in there . It ohms at 0.36 ohms and life is much better.

Considering only about 100 mm or so of conductor would be used in a mod then the difference would be .01 between copper and sliver ?
silver plated copper for the best of both worlds?

Just make sure the silver is spring hardened or it won't spring back like it should

WTF???? AussieVapor is down?

yeah, again

somehow it got on some list for russian hackers. It gets flooded with requests until the server logs fill the HDD and it crashes until jato clears some space

Sounds to me like you could benefit from a rolling mill, they are really handy at times.
I had one for awhile and sold it along with most of my old jewelry making stuff, occasionally I miss it.
For these purposes I'd rather just pay to buy it hardened lol

plating is shit IMO

there is more to it than resistance too

Oh man, I'm not about to fire the first shot in a vdrop pissing match but I agree with this.
Contacts dictate only a small fraction of performance.

Here you go @BrewBear a TIGHT RTA, RDA, with Squonk Pin.
It looks interesting, but it lost me at ordering on FB or instagram and the $180 price tag. I'm perfectly happy with the Chalice III , the NoFear and the Cyclone. I have the AFC Cyclone that I will send to the chouder-man as soon as I find some spare time. BTW, @inspects , thank you for the look-out.

I saw it but it sounded too much like cretin so I passed. Upon closer inspection, it looks interesting but I'll wait for some of you folks to let us know how it is. I'm still on the lookout for a Nuppin!

I have a IL REÓ P67 and a french LeRÉO P67:vino:
French mods seem the fashion of late. Italian ones are dropping value on the second hand market.

That aulus chip looks nice if you are into regulated though.
