Since I don't expect to be around in 30 years this is not a big issue for me, but it still bugs me a little. Once I found out that I could rebuild ViVi Nova heads (and lots of other kinds are also rebuildable) with cotton cheesecloth wicks, and that most people review these as tasting better than the original silica wicks, I decided to learn how to do that. Still working on it, I'm getting 50%+ success and even failures can be rebuilt again.
Now I get to hope that Kanthal really is made out of what they say it is and not lead, heavy metals, etc.
(BTW, they DO taste better than the originals, and now I'm also going to try stainless steel...someday)
Please let us know what you find out.
