The electron tar ball 'weight' is determined by the amount of perturbation happening in those atoms as is determined by the material/substance in which those atoms exist. The electron tar ball is like the 'sum' of the bare electron's mass plus the effect of the perturbation in the surrounding environment, resulting in an effective 'weight', or influencing force of more than the bare electron's mass. If I understand correctly, the electron which is surrounded by additional atomic components can be ejected into a vacuum, & in this case will only be able to affect another anything based on its own mass, devoid of additional forces contributed by perturbation in the surrounding atom componentry- since it left its proximity to go into the vacuum.
