I just wanted to throw this out there, as I have made (and posted) a few mods using brass feeder tubes....
I have been using bottom feed mods for a few months now and have never seen any issues with the brass breaking down in the juice (until now). Some of my mods have 3ml bottles (which get me through 2-3 days) and some have 6ml bottles (which will last me 4-5 days).
When I was using these mods and changing the juice out every few days, I never had any discoloration of the liquid. And I was watching closely because I want to see if there was any backwash from the atty. The liquid always remained clean and clear to the last drop.
A couple weeks ago I had set aside one of my 18650 mods (with a 6ml bottle) and moved on to testing another mod. Yesterday I went to get it to use for the day and ... ... green liquid .
So I guess brass does not like to soak in liquid for a couple weeks at a time. Even though I never noticed any problems with the juice when I was using it up faster, I have to assume that if there is enough contaimination to see in a couple weeks, that there is probably trace amounts from day 1.
I would have guessed that this would happen with copper, but I thought I was ok with brass. Anyone tried aluminum?
Anyway, if anyone is planning on making a juice feed mod just keep this in mind (and maybe stick with plastic tubing).
This is a pic of the original juice and the same juice after two weeks with the brass....
