Metal Drip Tips - Great Deal

[emsmom]

For those that like the metal drip tips, Heaven Gifts has just posted on their site two new models of metal drip tips. The price on these is fantastic and they are also discounting their shipping due to the Labor Day holiday in China. Since these are brand new, they couldn't be reviewed yet, so if a mod wants to move this, that is great! Had no idea where else to put this?

I would be worried about them not being cleared sealed or what metal they are

Metal posion=No fun

yea at least i know Nhaler and Super t have coated ones for safety

From heavens gifts not so sure

Or maybe im being paranoid

 

[emsmom]

I thought about this too and asked. They are made of the same metal the adapters are, so should be totally safe.

amajn, what do you mean by 'coated' drip tips? I've never heard or read that anyone puts a 'coat' of anything on the metal for 'safety'. And I'm not aware that these metals used for tips are unsafe. Could you expound?

Puresmoker has their stainless steel tips for 9.99, I think thats a steal, best price in US. I think.

jcamacho, it looks like the metal tips at PureSmoker are now $5.99 each. I see that Heaven Gifts has a great price on a 5-pack of metal tips.

$5.99 is for the delrin tips, please read again +$4 for the stainless

 

[thewomenfolk]

I stand corrected. I didn't see the dropdown Menu which says to add $4 for the stainless steel tip. Thanks for the clarification.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered two of the atty plus drip tip deal, plus a low resistance atty and an extra eGo cone. I needed the attys anyway and with the sale shipping is only $2.

Well simply put any metals in your mouth are unsafe and if they are not Anodized "coated"
you are putting a raw metal in your mouth

Anodized ones will prevent ppl who have allergies or developing a allergie

Nhaler and super t both are anodized

I personally would not be comfortable using aluminum of any kind. Even the anodized can get scratches on the surface, making contact with the aluminum likely. Since many use their teeth to hold these in place, scratches are common. I am more comfortable using a bare metal that does not tarnish or rust, known to be safe to use.

so you're more comfortable using a metal that doesn't tarnish or rust....yet you're for the HG tips that are nickel platted copper?

aluminum annodized or not is safer and tarnishes less than copper (since the plating is prone to flaking and chipping from contact with skin..) not to mention the people with nickel alergies...oh and both aluminum and Stainless steel have lower issues with toxicity than copper too

Just sayin

 

[thewomenfolk]

That's great sheep. Looks like you got in on the holiday shipping sale. Way to go!

I just love when people offer arguments and have no pea picking clue what they are talking about, in trying to substantiate sub par products.

... and this has nothing to do with the fact they come from China.

 

[emsmom]

I didn't start this thread to get a flame war going. If you chose to spend 20 bucks on a tip, be my guest. I just wanted others to know there is another option out there!

This is what I was referring to. Please find out what anodizing is and does.

 

[emsmom]

Switched, maybe you need to do a little more research on the subject?
"Anodized aluminium surfaces, for example, are harder than aluminium but have low to moderate wear resistance that can be improved with increasing thickness or by applying suitable sealing substances."
Might also want to do a little research on aluminum and the health effects from using it?

 

[sheep]

Ah well I eat dinner every night with a metal fork, so I'm not too worried about these things.

I used to swallow pennies as a kid too, and I'm still around!

When did Super T start 'coating' or 'anodizing' their tips? I ordered one a month ago and it was a straight hunk of machined stainless. No coating and I had to polish it myself to get the nasty metallic taste off it. You wouldn't believe the amount of tarnish that came off.
