aal, lets talk further about this
Alumina in so big quantities (we vape all day) may harm us or will harm us. No one made a research, only suggestions to burn wires. Thats crazy if you agree.
You are right about small parts that come out with cough but we worry about parts that dont come out with cough and thats the very small pieces of components that can be produced from burning metals.
Αn alloy is produced under very special conditions while special gases are present, in a specific temperature and for specific time. Many times catalysts are used during procedure. If these conditions are wrong then the alloy will become unstable and thats what we do when we torch the wires. We destroy their metal structure with unknown results. Kanthal or nichrome can be disrupted to its components in really small pieces and maybe diluteable in our oils. So our concern is not only alumina or any other oxide that is produced.
You know that I studied all those things in university and I know what I am talking about. I am not just a modder that decided to make an e-cigarette to earn money because its still a hobby for me.
And if you want to see what is going on out there, I will remind you the plating procedure. Did anyone said that plating is useless in e-cigs except me? Its because people believe whatever they hear or whatever they think they know.
Another example is the SS mesh on genesis atomizers. Only me says that its not healthy at all when a lot of people are still vaping it. But the last months enough people realize that I was right. A small example is this: Do you eat from a burned SS pan? The most possible is that you will throw it away for several reasons. And imagine that we dont eat from a pan like this when eating is much less harmful the most of the times than inhaling components.
I am not saying something strange, just οbvious things
I'm sorry to go against the current. But here it goes.
The metal oxide of kanthal is alumina Al2O3. The melting point of alumina is 2072 degrees and the boiling point around 3000 degrees. Alumina is also insoluble in water. I'm not saying oxides will not produce fumes but even if they did they will be negligible. To have a considerable amount of fumes the wire would have melted a long time before. Alumina can be found in dirt as well. A match of soccer on dirt can produce more alumina in the air than vaping. Take what I said with a grain of salt. I will do more research and everyone should.
