Okay, so at this point in my vaping career I have tried many different types of "toppers" atomizers, cartomizers, clearomizers, tanks, ect. I have about 10 in my collection to date. I am probably very soon going to try my first RBA/Genesis style atomizer.
So, before doing that (which i am very exited about) I have some questions and/or concerns about the wick material. I am aware that most people find silica wicks to be fairly safe. I have little concern about inhaling silica fibers in any amount that would be potentially dangerous. I am not sure what the cartomizer filler is made of, though. Is it silica? Or some sort of plastic material? Because there is a lot more filler material, is it likely that whatever it's made of, I may be inhaling more of it's components if it is repeatedly heated?
Because I am going to be buying my first RBA soon, I also am wondering about the SS mesh used to wick these devices. In short, am I inhaling some chromium dioxide or other component materials vaping with a SS wick? Is this a potentially better (safer) alternative to the clearo/carto wick material?
I have read countless threads here regarding these types of questions but I am hoping to get some concise answers or at least a better idea on the general consensus on the matter of wick material safety.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer/speculate here.
Happy vaping,
Alexander
