JB Weld / JB Kwick, are both non-toxic when dry, JB Kwick drys to usable in 5 mins (completely cures overnight)... That's what I've been using...
They are both just epoxies. Calling them non-toxic for our uses is a stretch. I doubt if there have been any toxicity tests when it's heated and soaked in e-liquid.
There are food grade epoxy coatings, but again these have been tested for use in potable water supplies. Heat and e-liquid tend to soften epoxy and compromise it's bond.
This.....
Can use with potable water so that's as safe as it gets
hey what store sells this?
From JB Weld's FAQ page:
Q: How much heat can J-B Weld withstand?
A: J-B Weld (Part # 8265-S, 8265, and 8280) can withstand a constant temperature of 500 degrees F. The maximum temperature threshold is approximately 600 degrees F for a short term (10 minutes).
Q: Is J-B Weld toxic?
A: No. J-B Weld is non-toxic. However, we do not recommend consuming the product.
Q: Is J-B Weld resistant to water and/or gasoline?
A: When fully cured, J-B Weld is completely resistant to water, gasoline, and about every other petroleum product or automotive chemical. For wet-surface or submerged water or gasoline repairs, see our J-B Stik or Waterweld product information.
Q: Is J-B Weld microwave safe?
A: Yes.
Q: Is there anything that J-B Weld WON'T bond to?
A: J-B Weld will not adhere to, or bond well to:
* Any flexible rubber surface
* Leather
* Vinyl
* Canvass
* Polypropylene plastic <-- This is the main reason JB Weld 'breaks down' with exposure to propylene glycol
* Polyethylene plastic
After drying, it is non-toxic, at any temp below 500 degrees F, even once the bond is broken...
It's no 'strech' to read the manufacturers specs Willy... I'm not just pulling this outta nowhere ya know... I did do some research before I used it....

I think you missed my point. Potable water tests do not include e-liquid and heat. Have you ever noticed the term 'safe when used as directed'?
