T-tips!!

[Nach]

Hello again Super T team. Today I received my Velocity brass T-tips and they are lovely! Normally, don't care for this particular design, but the brass option is what gained my attention.

I have always been a fan of stainless steel because well, it's stainless. However, getting into brass accents has been a new venture for me and as it turns out, I quite like it.

Looking forward, I would like to express to the Super T team, how much I would appreciate your full line (and future) T-tips to be offered in brass as well.

I feel in the case of the ELA, teamed up with brass accent rings, a brass T-tip could really "tie the room together" like an oriental rug in a California condo.

A SuperTContoured Wide Mouth Brass T-Tip...that I would like to see.

I received a brass Velocity yesterday as well. Way cool.
Brass can sure look pretty and it can sure look bad. Brass tips are just a novelty show item for me, I'm still unclear about the health ramifications of putting that alloy in my mouth.

Yeah, brass looks good when all shined up, but it definitely tarnishes so darn fast. I just did up a few brass Velocity more as a novelty in this case since i had some brass bar. I'm not sure if i'll do more or not at this point.

I kinda wondered about that also?

Brass does contain a low amount of lead (even so called "lead-free" brass contains lead) for machinability (typically .25 - 4%). The maximum lead blood level allowed by the fda is
25 (µg/dl) and food and medicine products consumed are not to contain more the 1 part per million. How much of a tip would actually dissolve away and enter the body and would it exceed those recommended levels? I don't know at this point, and since i don't know, to error on the side of caution, i'm going to pull them from the shelf until i can research it more.

I love the way brass accents add a two tone look. Ill be doing several brass accents for the ELA

Pulling them from the shelf is *exactly* why I jumped all over it when I saw them on the site!

I havnt tried any metal ones becuse I always figured you would get a metallic taste from them I would also think some juices would kuroad sp? It and if there just brass coated the base metal could be anything just a thought if didn't no how they were made for sure

 

[snork]

Oh, no. You don't get any metallic taste from a Super-T stainless tip. No corrosion, best tips there are. You need one.
The brass is not plated. Solid brass.

I think if we swallowed one of these brass T-tips, then there might be reason for concern. But just by sucking vapor through them, I don't see how we can "extract" lead from it. I used to eat paint chips as a baby and I turned out fine!

The vaporization of e-liquid might do it as it passes thru the Brass tip???

Of course I tried to order one as soon as I read this...

I ordered 2 when I saw this thread - since it was a "I had some spare brass" run. Curious what becomes of it.

I for one am liking the Blued T-tips as well now. But why just Velocity? I would really REALLY like to see these offered in the models as well. And you already know how I feel about the brass.

The Velocity's look nice and all, but they feel really awkward in my mouth. Don't flame me, but it feels like a large tip in my mouth.

I also dont like the feel of the Velocity tip in my mouth....its the cut out groove that feels stange...

 

[snork]

I don't mind the Velocity at all, but the best tip for me is the shorty Contoured.
