Nickel is it safe?

[mjmurphy]

I know thousands of vapers are eagerly awaiting the release of the new dna 40. After watching Phil Busardo's video on it and finding our that kanthal will not activate the temp control feature in this PV I started reading about nickel. I looked at the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for nickel and it wasn't building my confidence. Look, I'm not a metallurgist and I am no expert, but does anyone else have any concerns other than me?

From what I have heard from people looking up research and evolv themselves

nickel(nichrome) is apparently already being used in alot of the atomizer heads of major companies. apparently the medical vaping equipment also uses nickel in their wires.

nickel doesn't degrade at temperatures under 600 degrees hence why the temperature control won't degrade the nickel and not cause dangerous materials to get released. Every wire might release dangerous chemicals but as long as we stay under that temperature we are fine.

apparently nickel doesn't leech into juice anyway.

And some fancy talk I am not smart enough for.

aaand I was going to post a link to research and shizzle but not allowed.

I've been using Nichrome 60 and Nichrome 80 for a little while now. I like it.
I get no off taste and it has good durability. The only ?downside?, is that it's lower resistance than Kanthal, so you need more wraps to equal the same resistance.

Welcome to ECF! haven't tried this yet. Or maybe I have and didn't know about it? heh.

I swallowed a nickel once.

Still kickin'.

Melting point is north of 2600F. What happens at 600F I don't know.
