Christopher Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Every so often I get emails about concerns that atomizers may contain lead. Given the lead scare a few years back in children's toys this is understandable. Many of you might not be aware but we test our all of our products for lead. (Yup!) We're not a million dollar company so what we use is quite simple. And something I thought I would share with everyone http://www.amazon.com/Leadcheck®-Lead-Test-Kits-Non-toxic/dp/B000Z8BCAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1283336831&sr=8-2 These kits are cheap and easy to use. You pop each side of the pen and a yellow liquid is released. I run the liquid through the atomizer. I also scrape the paint off of random eGo batteries and mix it with the liquid. If the liquid was to turn pink, it would be a sign of lead. Of course I've never once seen the liquid turn pink. The kits also come with tester pads so that after your done testing, you can rub the "pen" onto the tester to make sure it's working correctly. (In which case of course, the liquid turns pink) I highly recommend you keep a pack of these at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 No no, don't mis read the post. There has never been a case of lead found in atomizers. EVER. This is just for peace of mind for those that are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 You should always be worried about lead in any product. This is the reason I posted a link to the lead testers. They are dirt cheap at 35 bucks. Did the Youtube user state where he purchased the lead tips from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
