So I recently ordered my first rda, a mutation x v3 from kidney puncher in copper. I went with the mx because I read the deck is easy to build and learn on and I went with copper because I think it's a great color. But I was unaware of the concern in the community from using copper rda's/drip tips. Have any tests been done yet to determine how detrimental it is for you health if at all? Heavy metal poisoning is the last thing I need.
RDA a concern with my new purchase

another question. How do i clean the copper parts if there is any machine oil on them? Will soapy hot water be fine?
I've always stayed away from copper simply because of how it can tarnish from contact with skin etc not sure of health risks and can't quote any facts so won't even try, as for the machine oil yes hot soapy water should remove it
Thanks. I wasn't planning on it but I may pick up another rda as well to be safe. Wish I knew about this copper concern sooner.
Don't worry about it, you will be fine, you got an awesome RDA. Some people love the look of a full copper mod/atty. I love my Mut X V3. It's basic, simple, and performs like a champ.
No one says that out of actual proven fact. It's just a preference thing and everyone's entitled to their oppinion. I honestly think when grimmgreen said he wouldn't vape copper attys that kinda brainwashed the community. You'll be fine.
Just the barrell part will be copper most likely SS deck....
A good percentage of household drinking water still runs through copper piping...been using copper RDA's for over a year without any issues whatsoever.
Generally speaking the people who will tell you something is bad will be unable to tell you specifically why they think it is, mostly this is because they heard the information second hand without verifying it themselves and just pass it along as gospel when the reality is their justification is just that "it is because I heard it was".

Thanks guys for putting my mind at ease a bit. My main concern came from an old thread here were the copper was flaking off into the juice well and turning the cotton green. But the copper rda would just look so nice sitting on my black sigelei zmax haha.
Do I need to treat the copper barrel or top cap any differently to maintain them? I've never dealt with copper before.

Nothing wrong with vaping out of copper. As a plus, in my personal opinion, it also looks awesome tarnished or clean. Entropy in general is beautiful.
I also like the look of old tarnished copper which is why I got it in that color.
