    The end of microcoils?

    The problem is, it's pretty easy to go get some very sound inputs for your Stellite questions from provable expert sources, including the Stellite Group at Kennametal (thanks, Google). But dry burning vaping coils? Good luck. Meaningful answers have to be pieced together from a loose...

    Which is what you should do, anyway. It's your health. You owe it to yourself to make an educated decision.

    The end of microcoils?

    It's good to be skeptical. Heck, this is the interwebs - it's a necessity. Speaking only for myself, there's no good reason you should believe anything I present as an opinion. If I state something as a fact, you should check its validity. Google is your friend. I'm not selling a Metallurgical...

    The end of microcoils?

    I boil my JOC for two reasons. I want to be sure it is as clean as I can get it, and the way I handle it, I personally end up with the fluffiest, best wicking cotton I've been able to find. I strip the pads into 4 layers, boil them twice with a cold rinse in between and lay them out to dry on...

    The end of microcoils?

    Listen to this comment - there's a lot of wisdom in these words. I like this comment so much that I'm going to have to take a much closer look at rayon. And that isn't easy to say, because I really like my little "boil, boil, dry" ritual with my Japanese cotton pads.

    The end of microcoils?

    I REALLY want to walk away from this. I do. But what "mod" are you talking about? This is about the dangers of dry burning coils, and the "molecular degradation" that Dr. F. claims happen when you do it. Which I believe, based on my understanding of the scientific literature, is nonsense. Dr. F...

    The end of microcoils?

    Where, one might wonder, is Dr. Farsalinos while all this transpires? He surely noticed quickly enough when we all "overreacted" to his initial apocalyptic warning... I'm finished defending our current vaping technique against his irrelevant "opinions". As far as I'm concerned, dry burning has...

    The end of microcoils?

    As I go back and review the recent posts in this thread, I realize that I want to amplify my apologies to you for your defense of Pedro. It appears that Dr. F. has likely done him a great disservice by dragging his name into this issue. Unless Pedro steps forward and personally acknowledges his...

    Does he have a thread? Sorry, I haven't checked. Has he posted anything about this? Just curious... And I don't think there's anything "arrogant" about asking for an explanation. I think perhaps LouisLeBeau has given us the reply we needed.

    The end of microcoils?

    I don't know Pedro - honestly never heard of him before today (I've only been vaping for 6 months). But with friends like you who support him so passionately, I suspect I may like him. But that said, this just makes me even more concerned with how Dr. F. dragged his name into this sh!tst0rm...

    The end of microcoils?

    If Pedro is NOT supportive of Dr. F's inflammatory statements about the dangers of dry burning coils, and the molecular degradation of the metal, and the generation of Cr(VI) from coils during vaping, then I would have to say that Dr. F. has overstated his "support" and that I, personally...

    My favorite quote: "No further toxicity studies of stainless steel are proposed. The main hazards of stainless steels are related to some uses of the material, especially welding." Stainless steel, a chromium oxide former, is so benign that no further studies are proposed. Kanthal, an alumina...

    The end of microcoils?

    Could you please explain what you are talking about? What does any of this have to do with the original Dr. F audio? Did you read Dr. Farsalinos' post on his web page where he credits "Pedro" as being a materials science expert he consulted with? Who supported his "dubious" claims about the...
