Vapor lock is caused by the fuel being heated to it's boiling point in the fuel line and I doubt that whether you use copper or steel (the thermal conductivity is high for most metals) it would make any difference. If you increase the fuel pressure or reduce the fuel temperature, you can eliminate the problem. Most practically, it's easier to reduce the fuel temperature. See if you can find a way to re route the fuel line so that it is in a cooler region and you can eliminate the problem. You can also shield the fuel line by running it inside another larger tube or putting a piece of sheet metal between the fuel line and the heat source. Hope thsi helps.
