This is great info. Thanks for doing it.

I would assume the manufacturers aren't purposely using materials with lead in them -- it's more a question of quality control. As the effects of lead are cumulative (and we are shoving this stuff into our pulmonary systems), it's good to know that these manufacturers are obviously taking care to get uncontaminated materials.

I had tested for Lead paint the following atomizers and batteries both in black and white and they all came back negative for lead in all of them:

Atomizers and Batteries tested:

801 SLB's Originals
801 from Eastmall
BE112 from Best
RN4072 from Njoy
RN4072 from First Union
RN4072 from Puresmoker (old style)
510 from Joy
510 from Eastmall
901 from Puresmoker
BE901 from Best
901 SLB's Original's


Testing was done on the inside as well as the outside of each device.

I find this to be good news and worth the time and money.

Thanks, Sun. Good(God) to know, and your effort is well appreciated. This is good news, and worth the time and money. Definitely. This part of the job seems to be completely vaporized.

I have a masters in chemistry and ten years of experience with environmental analytical work.

Two things:

1) I can tell now that the Chinese company "Best E-Cigs" is open for discussion around here at ECF, a best as I can tell. I wasn't sure about that based on my sense of the forum rules. Until further notice, I want to discuss my experiences with this company.

2) Lead is NOT the only toxicity concern, folks.

I am male and my name is not "Debbie," BUTt(head-Beavis) this is a serious downer topic. ("How does timmah assume a "stealth Debbie Downer" and keep those frowns turned upside down?")

I want a safe and effective nicotine PV. (I can speak ONLY for myself. I am aware that the soliloquy of Malcolm McDowell in the character of Caligula is pertinent.)

Until I have better data to support the safety of PV attys, I remain skeptical.

  • What is the "true" composition of that metal wool in the atty?
  • Is the respiratory tract suffering vapor deposition of any toxic metal?
  • If the metals are safe, are attys standard across the industry?
As I said elsewhere at ECF, there better NOT be any cadmium. I heard "nickel foam" and it ought not be that either. Even if metal vapor deposition is negligible, it must not be a NEW health risk.

Will I stop using my PV? No! I don't want to inhale TOXIC, carcinogenic tobacco smoke to get my non-carcinogenic nicotine.

I am not a pig, if you ask me, and I'm not from Guinea. I frequently behave in ways that tend to my animal side. Mostly, I struggle with translations from my native Timmah. I'm also getting late for a performance of third-generation Jamaican ska(...ska, ska) music at the .... & Bull in support of an effort to revise local noise ordinances. This is a very poetical "situation" at several levels, if it weren't for the confusion induced via auto-censor auto-replacement of the venue's first name, which must be circumlocutionally described in run-on fashion to include but not be limited by many unnecessary sentence components as another name for a male chicken.

Do you suppose the FDA is gonna read this and offer me a job? Doh!

:cool:
