I am in total agreement with you. I am not a scientist either, but I am extremely curious. The ones we took apart we put into a calibrated oven we use at work to test polymer flashpoints to help determine what they are. One of our counter guys had been warned about sucking silica from a local guy that hangs out in the vape shop... So he went and got some new coils. You could see visibly that the material was cotton, but he thought it might be blended so he stuck it in the oven. At 450 degrees the cotton was black and smoldering. We sell silica blankets and tapes for that is used for industrial applications it is good for 1200+ degrees and it will not even discolor at 450. I shouldn't go off like that, but it upsets me when people on the internet (not you) like to spread fear. I am glad they inform us that their could be hazardous materials in the coils, juice, wire, ect. I don't like when they take other studies and try to make them fit our applications. From what I can find there has been no real studies that replicate real world conditions that we vape under. If someone thinks something is not safe, don't use it. If someone thinks vaping is dangerous quit vaping. I know for a fact that my health is much better, and I feel better than when I smoked.

Oh they are and mr. Tugboat is gonna be my guinea pig and try 3 of them and let me know how he likes them.

Also can't go wrong with an IPV mini,I've only had mine for about a week and I love it.

I smoked for 20 years. My track record shows Im rarely concerned with health

Vaping is about making an informed choice. Information like this ^^^ helps in making that choice, thank you for posting this.

My fiance surprised me with a IStick 50w with a Kanger Subtank Mini. This thing is A BEAST, I LOVE IT!

Had to add the labels myself. This must be from a first run. Others I have seen have the sizes already marked on them. This is one of the coolest tools I have bought.

+1 Jason, that is what I meant, tired and beer = slow brain

Apples give a smooth ride just like Bui...wait. Or was that a pumpkin?

I would have asked if 2 dollars is the same in his shop as 18 dollars would be in another shop.

Ok so i made 6 different flavors of juice, Mr. French Fruit Extreme ApB - apple pie bomb Honey Banana Nut Bread Choco-Nut Blueberry Pie

This is really gonna pi$$ ya off then??

I feel the question is unanswerable except by opinion. IMO I feel it is a better health choice than smoking. Will I die sooner from vaping, possibly, but I feel I would die even sooner If I kept smoking.

You asked for questions. I gave you one. As for how it can affect my health? No clue as I'm not a doctor or scientist.

That is what I can get out of a spool of wire not what I would sell them for. The wire and wicking would cost around $5.00

I would use a cell phone charger or similar charger. I don't like anything that that uses that much power hooked to my computers.

Finally caved in and bought an Atlantis and running my 90vg/10pg this thing hits like a freight train even on the smallest air hole...next step will be grab an extension tank either the 7ml or 8ml.

I will agree with you that silica is nasty stuff. I have read many articles about it, and gone to many safety classes as we make products out of it. Like I said no one has tested it in Vaping environment to prove if the fibers can even become airborn. Can you imagine the feeling in your tounge if you get what is basically fiberglass in your tongue? I guess I could test it at work, but it would be a moot point because the Nautilus coils have been 100% cotton since January (At least that is when I got my first batch from an online retailer) Now please don't think I am an Aspire fan boy. I am not. I am also using a SubTank. I do think the fact they marketed a tank as one material and made it out of another is reprehensible. I don't think it is dangerous, but dishonest. I also agree with your stand on juice. I think we should be far more concerned with this. It is what is getting into our body. I buy all of my juice from one place now and I think he has more concern and safety for his customers than anyone (Thanks Comp!) I have seen at least 2 people drop vaping as a hobby over this issue and the bad California study. It is very sad to me, because they are still smoking. Just something totally anecdotal: We have 2 original owners in our company who have made products out of asbestos until they banned certain uses in the '80s and they replaced some of those products with silica fiber (fire insulation/fire seals) they are now in their late 70s and perfectly healthy. I buried a good friend last year from COPD related lung problems that was 100% caused by cotton fibers/dust from the process of ginning cotton he was in his 50's. I am sorry I came off as a jerk (I can be, ask my wife). I am not defending the use of dangerous products. I don't want them in me. I am just very sensitive to the subject. I have worked in many industries that have had the general public totally vilify when they are not informed. I know it isn't the case with vaping, but most industries are so regulated that it would amaze people. I just finished a project at our company that required us to prove that all of the minerals that are contained in our products have not originated from "blood mineral" countries. We don't manufacture the raw materials, but we have to trace it all the way to the source of the minerals that go into the manufacturing of the raw materials.

If you look closely at an older version of the Nautilus BVC coils they have smaller wicking holes. The newer ones have a bigger hole. The older ones were first reviewed by pbursado(Taste your juice.com) and others ( I believe riptrippers). They took the coils apart to see what they are made of. The newer Nautilus BVC coils come with a warning card that tells you to let the cotton absorb the liquid for 2 minutes before vaping after a coil change. The fibrous material in the older ones, when dry, disintegrated when rubbed around into a powdery, flaky mess. Once wet, this material didn't seem to react that way. I believe this material was used in the Atlantis coils as well Just my two cents, I am not scientist. Mad yes, but not a scientist. I wrote a post about the Nautilus coils here...

I vape a dark, very sweet juice so my coils don't last very long. That's why I'm probably more aware of this issue than most.

thanks guys,, I wasnt gonna try it anyways from what I've heard & read, it wood be dangerous,, I just wundering the more technical aspects of NICKEL I knew you guys wood know the answers,,

I hope they don't kill me.

a guy txtd me & ask'd what I thought??? I said that bale came from a New Holland baler that needs his left side belts tightened up cuz its raggy!!!!

Let's see you have a kanger pt3 and an ego V v2. If you are looking for more vapor from that setup. even if you were to go with the istick 30 or 50 watt you would want a better tank setup. I would suggest the aspire Nautilus mini or the full size. Use the smallest ohm coils you can buy for them, which is the 1.6 ohm coil. Other than that I would suggest the Aspire Atlantis sub-ohm tank with the eleaf istick 50w. that set-up chucks huge clouds. I have the 50w and love it with a Nautilus mini. I am looking at the Atlantis tank for the future. The eleaf istick 50w is great. The battery lasts for days with a standard tank setup running 1.4~1.6 ohm coils at 10-12w. Also, for better vapor production. a higher VG blend juice will give more vapor. something like 70-80%VG. 60% does a decent job as well.

Well all of them are good right now. But i plan on steeping all but the mr. french and fruit extreme as they are my only juice's for now. Here is what they all consist of... Mr. French- strawberry and french vanilla creme with a hint of cinnamon Fruit extreme is Strawberry,apple,dragon fruit,blue raspberry,black cherry,peach, blueberry and pineapple Apple pie bomb - apple pie, graham cracker Choco-Nut - chocolate,coconut Honey banana nut bread- banana nut bread, honey Blueberry pie- blueberry, graham cracker. And thx everyone

Fuzzy Vanilla is not the same as SB Mother's Milk 2mg is not the same as 18mg.... Are we comparing apples to Buicks again?

....and a line of carp is not easy to eat! Ba dum ta! ...I'm here all week folks!

Silica is like fiberglass and can fray. These frayed bits can get into your lungs and cause damage just like asbestos. (Fiber Glass) At least that is the concern. It was one reason I went to cotton. There is no real proof that it does, but the possibility is true.

You can get test kits that will help you find out what the NIC content is. If they are not testing it and telling you this it is IMO a load of BS. You can not know just by taste what the Nic content is, and to say it to customer, is irresponsible.

I found that when I tried juices high in glycerine. When I say, "read: blah, blah, blah" that means to take the phrase "I tend to only taste the glycerine" to mean "it (sic) tastes like sucking on a glycerine bar."

Haha. " got to find a reason why my money is all gone" .....

load up my nautilus and ill strap shoes on my feet

Tahiti EVO and polished Tuboat v1

Vape on the Water...

I have two favorite sayings around the office... "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine" and "I will be happy to 'manage my anger' as soon as you manage your stupid"

Bacon would be good just sayin

BACON!
