Manufacturers/Suppliers: What's in your cartridges?

[sanneke]

WOW.........................


well I used some of materials I have in the house here.

I showed a pic here on this forum earlier.

I tried to set it in fire.
But it would not take, until I realllllly put the flame under it.

I like the material I have in my house better than what they use in China.

But................I think we're getting a little too concerned here, we're not setting a fire to our cartridge when we smoke with an atomizer, not what so ever.
I think this is getting a litle out of control.

I know that Ludo smokes what we smoke.

Oh, absolutely. I'm curious whether the Ruyan filler really is any different, but I'm not especially worried over the filler.

Yes, please set fire to the "silicone" fiber. I'm interested to know if it's different from E-Cig's material. I am certain E-Cig uses polyester -- exactly the same stuff in your local pet store used for fish aquarium filters.

And you don't have to BURN something to get vapors. Ever see smoke begin long before an object bursts into flame from a heat source? As a reporter for many years, I've watched houses next to a burning one start smoking -- but they weren't yet on fire. With e-smoking, we are pushing fiber up against a 400C heat source. And users are reporting "burnt" tastes. That's enough to warrant at least SOME degree of concern that the taste might originate from particulates in the vapor. If it's polyester in our cartridges, a lot of concern.

So BOB are you still e-smoking?

I must be loosing it. I know I posted earlier.

The silicone I was refering to is the adhesive at the bottom of the filling. Not the filling itself.
The filling is plain ole polyester and or nylon combo. I am certain of that as a fiber artist and hand spinner (the yarn you dolt -not the hands) :P

Yes, still e-smoking. Using according to directions. I want my wife and children to have one hell of a large settlement in the lawsuit they bring against the manufacturer.

I understand. We'll make last year's medical x-rays, etc., Exhibit A, then go for an out-of-court settlement like everyone else! I'm kidding. :roll: Yes, I e-smoke. No, I don't think the health aspects are fully known. Yes, I accept them because I'm an addict. But the rest of what I do has a proven safety and health record to view. E-smoking doesn't. So I'm a gambler ...

Inhaling burned plastic -any kind of it- is worse than tobacco for sure. Without any knowledge about chemistry, I'll try natural sponge at times combined with plain "old" dry smoking. I suppose it has be less harmful than smoking any kind of burning plastic.

hey did you ever try that natural sea sponge in the filter? did it work out? i hope you were careful to buy an unbleached sea sponge if you did, cause they bleach some of them to make them more attractive. i just read that somewhere and thought...oh no i hope s/he didnt....any please tell us your results...i do think that the fibre is dodgy. loose strands are always falling out.

thx
