Nice idea.. But copper..???
YouTube - Copper Toxicity
As I said, we are putting an extra plastic inlay into the device, so the copper material won't touch the E-liquid.
I have additional info about this from my partner (he manufactures the HELL'omizer™).
He says:
"For all of you who have concerns about using copper for e-cig parts:
Most of you are ALREADY inhaling e-juice which is directly touching copper surface or which is soaking in copper all day long.
- Most commercial atomizers in the market have copper connections. (I mean: the atomizer connector is made of copper)
Not just the outside of the atty connection is made of copper, but the inside too!
So if you're just using an average commercial atty, then your e-juice is already soaking on copper surface all day long.
- also most regular e-cig batteries have copper atty connectors. When you overdrip your atty just a little bit, it leaks out of the atty-hole and touches the copper surface of the battery. Then you suck it back into the atty, when you take a draw again.
- also many e-cig mods with juice feeding systems (I mean bottom-feeders) have copper rings on the top of the device to catch the juice. The liquid soaks in there for hours... sometimes for days. Then your atty sucks back the juice to re-use it (and the atty also have a copper connector).
So even with bottom-feeder e-cig mods with copper rings on the top... or if you just use average 510 attys or whatever... your juice is in direct contact with copper surface all day long".
This is what he said (I translated it for you). I think he's right, isn't he?
But still... as I said we're putting an extra plastic inlay into our device, which makes the e-juice unable to touch copper surface.
Dear mwa102464,
Please do not mention other suppliers on this thread. That is against ECF rules!
I don't feel your support constructive, neither friendly.
Just because you don't like something personally you shouldn't say bad things about it.
Why does copper bother you if we put a plastic inlay into the device to hold the juice? Copper will never touch the E-liquid.
So why does copper bother you? Don't you like its color or something?
Sorry but I don't feel your intentions honest. Especially after mentioning other suppliers and products here, mentioning they are better than our product. Please stop doing that, whatever is your true reason.
Thank you.
Sorry but I'm with mwa on this one, no thanks. Best of luck to you in your venture.
I don't believe copper is safe to vape from, you guys better investigate copper a bit more it's not safe and can cause serious harm. = http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...sg=AFQjCNFIlul584r7bNtnll0Vw5aawf7dLw&cad=rja
A high grade of Stainless steel would be a much better way to go !
We'll see what we can do. I'll discuss a possible stainless steel version with my business partner.
But I'm quite sure about that... changing the entire base-material will lengthen the process with weeks, or even with MONTHS.
It's not very easy to simply switch material just like you switch a drip tip. We'll see.
We'll do everything to make you happy.
Really does look interesting...Thanks!
As there are very few copper colored mods out there, and many stainless steel and aluminum mods, I would think that from an aesthetic point of view stainless steel would look so much better.
Its a neat looking device but I have to say... I agree with mwa102464. The are quite a few reasons that copper is not the idea material for this specific application.
I guess this would entail changing your cutter blades and setting up for stainless steel and a material change.
Demon I want you to know that I only posted what I did to help you not to hurt you
if it wasn't myself someone else with the knowledge I have from being around for a while would have also have told you the same thing as I. I have been investigating raw metals for sometime now and what is safe and what isn't. Pretty much unless your going to use something like Gold which I'm sure your not because it's not cost effective, a High Grade of Stainless steel is going to be your absolute best material to make your Hellomizer out of.! Again, I'm only trying to help and I am on your side with this
you have a good looking product from what I see of it and I'm sure it's design works very well
Wishing you the best of luck....I like the look of it...pretty cool!
