I am reporting this thread. This looks like Troll action to me and if it's ignorance I suggest you think twice before posting garbage like this that can be searched on the general forum. Use some common sense!
Junk science.... No references, no verifiable reports. Oxygen is an oxidizer, yet you need it to live, even though it's killing you.
Using this information, Zippo's and Bic's , not to mention Any type of pot, pan or bakery sheet (and your barbeque grill) would have killed you faster....

They say the same about microwaves and cell phones, no scientific back up...rubbish
You're joking I hope. Anyway, looks like one less business for me to support. Yours.
Why would I joke about the spread of misinformation?
Oh my. You won't be driving to Virginia to shop at my retail store? Because I called out a troll thread for what it was? I guess I'll have to hang it up then and start selling used cars.
Watch and see if this thread doesn't go bye bye.
The metal mesh in atomizers sees no electricity and (relatively) little heat. It is there to transfer juice to the silica wick which is wrapped with nichrome (or Kanthal) wire, which is heated by applying an electrical current. The reason atomizers need replaced is this wire breaks after repeated heating cycles, not that the metal mesh is worn away.
This "article" shows that little if any research was done.

I have never been called a troll in my life! I merely asked your opinion on it. Wow! Forget I asked! I only asked for my own sake as a person honestly wondering if anyone else had seen it and what they thought about it. I thought that is what this forum is for.
The fact that the writer believes I still have the ability to taste a single atom of metal and actually be able to deduce that the atom I'm tasting tastes like metal, is enough for me to click the little X on the top-left (or right) of my screen.
And what is a troll anyways? All I've ever done is try to help people in this forum. So go ahead and report me because alot of people in here know me in real life also and know I am always only interested in supporting vaping and helping as many people learn about it as possible.
PLEASE. Research negative articles before posting them. Internet misinformation is re-post driven. There are some very wealthy and very powerful people who have made it their mission to take these devices away from you. Posting their propaganda articles on a site with tons of traffic makes their cause gain steam. It lends validity to their lie. This type of action can only hurt us. You may have meant well. But it is not advisable to post anything that can be used against us on this forum. This forum is one of the first things that comes up on neutral searches of the topic. Half a million Americans die every year from tobacco related illness. Crap like this will be used to harass and discouraged people who could otherwise avoid becoming one of those statistics. Further more if you feel you must post something horrible about this industry on ECF make damn sure you have your facts straight or you are part of the problem, be it unwittingly or not.

Thanks, Tomcat. That makes me feel alot better. I was only asking for myself and figured someone would at least make me feel better about it. I guess I shouldn't have posted a question about it.
Most of us are grown up enough that even if we think the premise of the article you posted is faulty, we know you weren't being a troll by posting it.
metal fibrils, metallic sponges, Nichrome Wire wrapped inside fiber wicks,
The fact that the e-cigarette is a drug delivery devise (for nicotine), it is classified as a drug product, which cannot be presented as a treatment, cure, or a diagnosis of any disease.
What a load of Bollocks!
And as for this: "Researchers at Stanford University have shown that rats exposed to these ions in scaled quantities of those emitted from electronic cigarettes via injection and inhalation, displayed significant changes in short and long term memory" - yeah? It probably got better! But they'd never admit to that either.

Show me some evidence that e-cigs have harmed anyone. Then show me some evidence that said harm is equal to or greater then the harm caused by smoking tobacco. If you can't then it is a bad idea to assert such. I'm sorry if I offended you but this type of behavior is harmful to our cuase. Point blank.
Thanks, gthompson. I've seen you around here alot. I just think it's kind of crazy that a person asks a question in here and everyone starts yelling "troll" and getting angry. Well, luckily not everyone. There sure seems to be alot of "troll" paranoia lately. <shakes head in confusion>
I have read that the metal in an atomizer would have to be approaching a molten state before it could give off toxic fumes. I have no proof of that, I'm not a scientist, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so take it for what it's worth.
