So Bird...what if, just WHAT IF, his moral obligation drives him to include material quality in his list of safety points? After all, a new vaper should be taught that there is a vast difference not only in the performance of different metals, but also in the safety of different metals.
I, for one, have done a lot of research on the safety of using different metals when they're in contact with foods or other consumable substances.
One of the things included in the high price of an authentic, is the transparency of quality materials used. All authentic designers I've spoken with (or purchased from, or have considered/researched), are open and willing to provide the list of materials used. Clone makers are not. And when they do, they lie. And I've seen it. Notice, I didn't say the "affordable authentic makers". Because even most of them will be honest about their materials.
When it comes to the safety of materials used, one must consider this dismaying observation...If you're using a device that is made of inferior/"mystery" materials, that come in contact with what you're consuming (e-liquid/juice/what have you), you are, in most cases, doing more damage to yourself than when you were smoking. And that fact cannot be refuted.
So when you, or anyone else on this thread, speaks of safety, don't be so blinded by another's post(s), that you forget about the safety of quality materials. Because they play just as big a part, if not the biggest part, in vaping safely.

I'm not joining this asinine conversation from either standpoint, as it's mostly just a humorous journey into the human condition, reserved for my morning poop time. But, you're firing arrows from the top of your moral high ground, just the same as everyone else is. I'm just highlighting on the idea that you may not have considered the issue from someone else's point of view. Again, I said "MAY NOT have considered"...I didn't say "HAVE NOT considered".
Please, all of you, continue. I had very spicy buffalo wings for dinner last night, and I feel a second trip to the porcelain throne approaching. I need more reading material!
boat I recon.
