Yes, most of the clones are 304. I've seen two using 316. I don't even know why I remember these things.
In an atomizer, there is no difference.
The differences would be extreme slight during milling, and unless you were told, you would not know the difference.
It is. Its less likely to develope any rust even when exposed long term to salt water. And its harder.
I can usually tell, but only because I taught machine trades students for two decades, and spent a lot of time in the shop learning to use the machines. And my grandfather was a tool and die maker.
As for whether an atomizer needs to be made from 316, I don't think so as most of us aren't exposing them to salt. It may help if you live near the ocean or work on a boat or ship. I know with the 304 SS parrot cages, some have developed surface rust for owners living near an ocean, so they seek out 316.
316 is designed primarily to be used in saltwater applications and other high corrosion applications. It is overkill in vaping equipment and can break if dropped when parts are relatively thin, like vaping equipment.
So it's a toss-up really, either is fine, 304 is probably a bit more appropriate but hardly worth discussion; unless you are trying to impress people by saying the corrosion resistance of 316 is relavent; it's not for vaping equipment.
if you still question this, do your own research but you'll end up at the same place.

Maybe.
If they are finished/polished the same Id bet you can't.
Maybe a slight difference in color, I don't know.
But in this application, there is no noticeable difference.
Attys shouldn't be stress points or exposed to the elements for extended times.
The differences are irrelevant to vapers.
Threads are stress points, the worst kind of stress points, ideal stress points in fact. But in the larger scheme of things, the differences are so small that they don't matter for this application; chalk it up to one thing we all seem to agree on; for the moment anyway.
And I'll bet she can tell the difference, experience means a lot.

It can be hard to tell. Its hard to describe. Its more like you need to have seen it many times.
Do your homework before you lead people into thinking all SS is the same.
SvoeMesto uses 316L grade stainless steel. Clones 304 grade. What does that mean?
Type 316L stainless steel in a molybdenum bearing austenitic. It is more resistant to general corrosion and pitting than conventional nickel chromium stainless steels such as 302-304. It has the following characteristics:
- Higher creep resistance
- Excellent formability.
- Rupture and tensile strength at high temperatures
- Corrosion and pitting resistance
I don't care how much steel China makes SvoeMesto uses German high grade 316L grade Stainless Steel.
Sometimes. And I've been moving away from them, but yes, lately I've been feeling that way
I guess like when people would harp on me for smoking. It had the opposite affect, and I would think less about wanting to quit. Its not sensible, of course, but I am human.

I know right??? Sheesh.. Since some authentic have dropped in price and I've learned to know what to look for in an atty I slowed down with the buying clone to test stuff. Like the aqua. I knew I would love it so I blindly bought the authentic.
But threads like this and the attitude of some, make me wanna go have a clone party, someone call darth Vader!
I can see that you simply copied (plagiarized) that off the internet. None of it is relevant to vaping equipment. This is another example of someone going way outside of their area of expertise and misleading good-intentioned people coming to this forum to get relavent information. You really should be more considerate to them and everyone else here trying to help.
Oh, by the way, to everyone else here that even cares, he plagiarized the above info off the
Lenntech website, directly (that's illegal) (and immoral). Just copy and paste his text into google, hit search, and you'll see it on their website.
My info and Roxy's info come from experience. We're trying to help people.
