Actaully those are just for reference.....Im working on a hotdog flavored e-liquid...![]()
This morning I went to the only remaining real hardware store in town to get some replacment screws for my Smoketch Atty. I wanted to get screws with a flat bottom on the head in lieu of the pan-head ones provided. The store did not have metric sizes in stainless steel, so I got zinc plated steel 2 mm screws.
My recollection from some time back is that when 'welding' galvinized (zinc plating) materials, a toxic gas is given off. Do y'all think this is a concern in the case of using in an atty?
Metal fume fever is due to the inhalation of certain metals, either as fine dust or most commonly as fumes. Simple compounds of the metals, such as their oxides, are equally capable of causing it. The effects of particularly toxic compounds, such as nickel carbonyl, are not considered as a mere metal fume fever.
Exposure usually arises through hot metalworking processes, such as smelting and casting of zinc alloys, or welding of galvanized metals. If the metal concerned is particularly high-risk, then cold sanding processes may also cause it, even though the dose is lower. This may also occur with electroplated surfaces or metal-rich anti-corrosion paint, such as cadmium passivated steel or zinc chromate primer on aluminium aircraft parts. Exposure has also been reported in use of lead free ammunition, by the harder steel core stripping excess metal from the jacket of the bullet and barrel of the rifle.[8]
The most plausible mechanism accounting for the symptoms involves a dose-dependent release of certain cytokines, an event which occurs by inhaled metal oxide fumes which injure the lung cells. This is not an allergic reaction, though allergic reactions to metal fumes can occur. [9]
I had a battery expolde on me today. I posted about it in the battery issue thread. I'm OK, lol
Bucky! Nothin' like that first vape off your first mod, huh?

I think Ive finally poped the coil on my ss wick so Im going to cvs after work and get some of the cotton you posted a link to and set my tank up with it...well ya know,its there...just gotta try it ...wonder if it will set up str8 like the ss wick out of the single hole?
I did that a couple of times. Once with it actually sticking up like a SS wick - it worked fine. The other time the coil/wick was horizontal (sorta like the original setup but with only one 'leg' going into the tank), this setup kept flooding the upper chamber; I had to blow juice out of the air tube a few times that day. I've been doing the factory setup with a cotton wick since that. Still can't believe how much juice I'm going through with this setup![]()

LOL! Any pieces left that may be salvageable? I'll take 'em.![]()
