I like the idea of using as few metals as possible to build an atty. Many attys are made of 15+ different materials that carry their own stash of chemicals from their respective manufacturing processes... for example mesh, wick, wire, plastics coating the wire, tape, ceramic, kanthal, cotton, fiberglass, silica, sotter, brass, steel? wool , other unknown metals, rubber? o-rings, etc all carry extra chemical/organic/inorganic ingredients inherited from manufacturing, storage and distribution processes ...
In my view, an ideal atty would be made of as few materials as possible ... namely just medical grade stainless steel/anodized aluminum and kanthal in order to prevent any leeching of chemicals into the
juice... This way, only the
juice ingredients are taken in cleanly with no other surprises...
