A technical clarification again, because I read for second time notions that maybe we had a batch of inferior steel and this is something that I will not let it pass EVER. We don't cut corners in quality and we like to call things with their real name. In our job we don't play with possibilities regarding materials and suppliers and we triple check everything, even the authenticity of a MSDS. If something is made from a plain material, we won't hide it. For example all our post screws are SS but they are plain Philips screws. Our GPin springs are designed by us and custom made in Athens by 302 SS hardened for stiffness. The spare ribbon wire we provided with the Spheroid until recently was made in UK. The switch springs are custom made and they are from high quality brass as the contacts. The black insulators of the PAPS switch and of the GPin are food grade plastic, made in Germany. The insulation of the posts is made from PEEK type II, reinforced with glass fibres, manufactured in Germany and we were the first we used it in the vape industry since 2012.
We use rods of European certified 316 SS, for which our importer provides all the certificates and this means that our SS has been made in Europe solely and the grade was measured at the place of manufacturing, in Germany, Spain or Italy under very strict procedures. I say that, because the steel importers in Eastern Europe due to recession, brought alloys from India originated from recycled reactors, called whatever grade you like and of course these rods are radioactive. An article with a polished finish can hide its grade, but a brushed finish will reveal it due to higher percentage of nickel. A
mod from these alloys was found 2 years ago and reported on a European forum as radioactive. A year before this incident, we were already checking every rod for radiation, we still do it as it can be seen on our
Vapourart video, although we have proofs of European manufacturing for our steel. Our O-rings are imported directly from Viton, from France to Athens, no middlemen.
I will continue with an off topic discussion about a global fraud.
In order the exports of China to remain unaffected by the contamination issue created from the Fukushima reactors, false meteorological wind maps for China, Japan and Pacific ocean were published since 2011, a transatlantic silent consensus. Moreover, American EPA and the European Union EC decided to change their radiation safety standards at the same time (2011), which of course is a "coincidence". The new standards result in a nearly 1000-fold increase for exposure to strontium-90, a 3000 to 100,000-fold hike for exposure to iodine-131; and an almost 25,000 rise for exposure to radioactive nickel-63 in drinking water.
Food for thought:
1. It is known in geophysics that the air currents directions match statistically with the water streams.
2: From the Southern Japan start two hot water streams with direction towards north. One travels through the Japanese sea between Japan and the Korean peninsula and other one passes at the east of Japan, the Kuroshio current.
3. At the height of the north Japanese Island of Hokkaido, these two hot tidal flows turn east, constituting the warm stream of the north Pacific ocean, which moves to east along with the 40th parallel and when it arrives in the American continent, it opens like a fan with the half current to turn north tangent to the coasts of Canada and the north US and the other half current tangent to the southern US coasts and Mexico.
4. But the southern section of the hot stream (of the north Pacific ocean), about 1000 kilometres east of Hokkaido, detaches from the mainstream of the 40th parallel, turns south and after passing over the northwestern underwater basin of the Pacific ocean, turns west to the Mariannes Islands and south and north of Philippines and through the isles of Indonesia finally contacts the sea of south China, i.e. the coasts of Indochina and of south China with Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Yellow Sea, i.e. the coasts of northern China and the Korean peninsula.
5. Statistically speaking, the corresponding aerial streams follow the same paths which have identical course with the stream of Kuroshio and the hot stream of the north Pacific ocean at the 40th parallel.
6. Therefore, the southern section of these winds points south and back, i.e. again towards west and inbound to the soils of China, Indochina, Philippines, Indonesia and Korean peninsula. The ill-fated Fukushima reactors have already contaminated with huge amounts of radiation the inland of China, Indochina, Korean peninsula, Indonesia, Macao, Taiwan and Philippines.
7. This is the reason for which the Chinese government and the governments of Taiwan and South Korea have suggested many times to their people since 2011, to consume much sea salt in order to have adequate supplies of non-radioactive iodine in their thyroid, so the radioactive one won't be stored.
Why they increased the safety radiation levels and why they falsified the wind maps? In my opinion, they expect more cancers due to radiation and they don’t want us to hold them responsible, while at the same time, they'll continue to sell myriads of contaminated products, even baby food without any problem.
EU ordinance 297/2011 raises the Maximum Levels of radiation and radioactive isotopes for food and feed to rather serious levels. In some cases, such as the case of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137, the levels are actually twice the amount of previously acceptable levels. Many of these increases are allowed in products such as infant formula and baby foods. Foods forbidden to be consumed in Japan due to their high radiation level, are considered safe in US and EU ...
