You stepped up to the plate for everyone !
You are the man for sure .......looking forward to seeing you at Vapestock !
Y'all can pick up kits and test your equipment any time....might be a good idea......

I've got five virgin tests left and a storage box worth of gear... I know I have some Boge cartos, and some Joye attys in LR and HV. I was going to donate them all in PIF and such but I guess I can pick some out to sacrifice here.
Right this very moment I really need a break. I'm partially disabled and this took a lot out of me so I want a lemonade and some food. I'll get back to this within the hour though and call it a lead testing lifetime for me. Next time I want to test stuff it'll be for cuteness or something. -Magnus

I've been thinking about this since I first tried vaping 3 weeks ago. Not only the solder but the plating that presumably is on some of this stuff.
On the other hand, I still remember 30 years ago when all the solder sold was leaded, and everybody used it in copper pipes. So all the water I drank in my childhood was contaminated with lead. I still remember a plumbing repair I made on my first house and how I learned to use leaded solder on all the drinking water fittings, lol.
If I survived that hopefully my atty won't kill me.

Ahhh thanks Magnus, next time I promise if it's up to me it will be playboy models for the testing and what size Bikini works best 
Cold tall glass of Lemonade on me !

FYI most lead type solders will NOT solder to stainless steel or nickel ! you have to use a silver based solder with the correct flux , this does NOT mean that in China they do not have or use a silver solder mixed with lead !
COMPOSITION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ALLOYS
this is a common composition table , just search for silver

I'm not so sure the water running through a cold drinking pipe with soldier is the same as using a heating element like an Atty, it mat compare if you where breathing the smoke while soldiering back then but I just done think its the same as using an Atty and breathing the warm vapor when it comes to this test as drinking that water with the old soldier joint on a copper pipe. I could be wrong it wouldn't be the first time but I'm just not sure if it's the same
Considering it has already been found by Mangus though I'm not so sure that "a common composition table" matters to much here Buzz. Just saying,,,, What if some of the major Atty/Carto manufacturers are using the bad stuff, I know I would like to know about it and have a choice to use the manufacturer that wasn't using it

I don't remember eating leaded paint when I was a kid in the 1930's and 1940's. Maybe that's why I am still alive today. One thing's for sure. If the lead in my ecigs kill me, then I will die happy.
OK... so the last five lead tests and here is what I chose for the atty crowd mostly:
- Joye HV (4.6ohm) 510 atty
- Joye LR (1.4ohm?) 306 atty
- Two Boge cartos in 510
- DSE801 atty (6V?)
I broke them apart because I wanted to get inside the atty mesh and the Boge's just had to be anyway. Tested only the interior facing bits this time. All NEGATIVE.
I didn't do any adaptors or anything that wouldn't touch liquid for the sake of using the last five tests I bought the best I figured.
One fringe benefit of doing this is I got to re-bag and label a lot of my set aside stuff. Win. -Magnus

I Love br !!!
I used to build leaded glass windows....about the 4th year in I got my blood lead level checked and it was a 4. I had it re-checked about a year later and it was a 6.
That is when I started using a respirator when I soldered. (10 is toxicity level). Fumes matter.

Wow Magnus ! You read my mind ! I was going to get stuff and test attys tomorrow !.
You know what occurred to me? Why the FSCK SAKE were the Chinese lead poisoning TOYS but managed to keep the smokers safe from lead?!?!!!!!! SERIOUSLY???!!!! -Magnus

If I thought the lead tests and gear cost me a penny, the resulting divorce settlement from this would probably put me under a bridge. ;-) -Magnus
Leaded glass windows. Very interesting. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe it would make me as mad as a hatter, heheh.
Try welding galvanized or zinc plated parts if you want to find out what fumes will do. Or spray zinc chromate primer. There have been a few times that I have lain in bed at night and thought about dying to get me out of my misery.
Poor guy...from nervous about what he was vaping to wondering about where he's sleepin...you can pull up a cot here...you've earned it...granted the puppies might not like it...they'll get over it...you'll have to shed the sunglasses and the sonic screwdriver though...
