Hi, Have a question. I'm gathering my trubo stuff and I found copper IC - it is quite small, but as far as I know copper will better tranfer heat, should I go for it or find aluminium one? Are there gonna be any benefits of having correr IC?

Thanks

copper prices are much higher than aluminium, and it weighs more.

I'd turn that sucker in to the scrapyards The price of copper by me is worth it's weight in gold...we're up to $2.60 a pound and it's still going up.

Ya ALum is like .60-.70 CAN per pound, Copper is outrageous!!!

yeah, but what if I can have one for $120, didn't ask whether it is cheap or not I just want to know if this is a better choice since I know copper has better heat transferring capabilities?

yo! cloud -> this is my first project OK, but come on - copper spray on IC ROTFLAOBTC (Rolling On The Floor Laughing And Occasionaly Bitting The Carpet)

Foowee

For that price I'd try it out. Does it maintain its heat transfer properties when tarnished?...
