My 500 mesh came in today. I plan on setting it up in my ac9 via the fused quartz method so I won't be oxidizing it. I'll let you know if I get that "funky" taste some people have reported.
Please clean it! I don't know if you missed that post or not but the supplier verified that it does in fact come in contact with machine oils.
This is common in factory produced items so, you should always clean any wire, mesh, atomizer, etc, before using them. I will be putting this warning up on my site on all products it applies to when I restock but please, for you health... wash it at least
