What now? Can I dry-burn Kanthal wire or not?

Many, many studies have been done that show vaping is much safer than smoking. I understand that some of this stuff can make you crazy trying to figure out just how safe vaping is. My take is that if you are able to do neither, that would probably be your best bet.

Just using common sense while reading the above article tells me that I have little to worry about when it comes to dry burning. People have been heating metal pots for years to cook and inhaling the vapor/ fumes produced. I have yet to hear of anyone having health issues from cooking with metal. Most professional cooks/chefs would likely inhale just as much as I do in a day. If it is something that greatly concerns you, don't dry burn. But, please don't go back to smoking. :2c:

If folks put everything under a microscope like they do with vaping and vapor products, I think that we would all be confined to a sterile room breathing pure oxygen. No clue what we would eat because it would all be too dangerous ;)

Especially consuming the teflon which falls off all those junk chinese cooking pans. Kanthol would be the least of my worries using Teflon as one example, in which there are thousands of examples.

From what I can tell looking at the melting points of wire there's probably no apparent issue with wire that's designed to be heated for that purpose. Does it cause micro-particles of metal to be inhaled?

Edit: You need to get a phase change diagram which shows the states where the material will physically change state dependent on excitation.

Ya, I know but people talks about micro particles, scary metals, chemichals, etc... I wonder how is nobody dead jet because of this scary things in vaping gear and liquids... And I wonder even more when I think how can a person smoke tobacco cigarettes for 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5 decades if even vaping is so super dangerous on its own without all of this freaky chemichals from cigarette smoke...
