That's one way to spin that.
The fact of the matter is that atomizers don't reach a temperature that would melt lead. Also, people don't seem to get overly excited about copper water pipes with lead solder either. Do you eat? then you ingest lead. If you walk down the block in NYC, you probably inhale more lead than you would ever get in a year's vaping with an uncleaned Chinese brass drip tip.
The cleaning procedure outlined in my blog is still in current use, is considered acceptable, and was developed at the turn of the century. If you want to call that medieval, then cars and airplanes should also be considered medieval forms of transport.
Face it, our lungs are coated in radioactive sludge from the cigarettes we smoked. Do you really think that a fraction of a fraction of a percent of lead that we "might" inhale over the course of years from using a brass drip tip or a chrome plated brass atty is an actual health concern? I don't.
This all being said, we are all free to make our own choices. I merely posted one way to ensure that Chinese brass was rendered as safe as naval brass.
Dude, you need to LEARN how to talk to people on the internet.
Rule #1:
People have short attention spans. If you are replying to someone who has stated a foolish opinion, such as you are, try to keep the word count down. Too many words confuses them, and forces them to shut down and instead of opening their mind, continue to argue.
Rule #2:
People who post bias, opinionated, illogical assumptions, opinions, or beliefs on the internet are NOT likely to change their minds. It DOES happen, but rarely. If you catch someone saying something ridiculous, such as the idea of getting lead poisoning from a brass drip tip made in China, simply make a post (not directed at them, but quoting them) with a brief explanation of WHY this is impossible. THEY of course will never allow themselves to stand corrected....but to the other people viewing the thread, it'll make perfect sense.
Rule #3:
Once you reply to someone correcting their false statement, with a brief, non-personal reply, don't bother replying back to them no matter how many times they reply to you, trying to cover their tracks or make themselves seem "right". It will only end badly. Make your one reply with the accurate information, and leave it at that.
This has been a brief lesson in forum posting, brought to you by : SuperMarket.
P.S. - I just ordered some fasttech drip tips (about 3) along with an iClear30B myself a week ago or so, so I'm rather excited to see when they get here.
Oh, and for others arguing about the price of drip tips......things are only worth what others are willing to pay for them. When you start paying $15+ for a drip tip, you are no longer paying for materials and hours of labor...you are paying for a 'luxury' item. It is up to YOU, as a CONSUMER, to learn what exactly luxury items are, and if YOUR budget, along with your desire for the object is enough for you to purchase these items.
For me personally, I'm the type of consumer who goes for high end, but NOT luxury items. I like to buy products that are on the higher end of the scale, these products usually cost a more than above average pricing, but because of the quality and craftsmanship, not the allure. For instance, a $20 drip tip wouldn't be something I'm interested in, but perhaps a very well made one at around $7-10 might be. This is MY personal preference, everyone has their own
