Is anyone familiar with these brands? I really want to switch to a metal free atomizer at this point. I know this was “tank style” carts or whatever, but, this must apply to any type of metal atomizer.
Gets worse every day.

Yeah, full-ceramic. Seems like the best option. I’d like to see some data on those too though.

This study focuses only on “Tank Style” carts—so the typical vape cartridges used for cannabis products are not lumped in.
In my opinion, as long as you have a pure metal—something like 316L steel—and that’s the only thing that gets above the temperature threshold for releasing metal particulate, you ought to be okay?
Edit: ““These tank-style e-cigarettes operate at higher voltage and power, resulting in higher concentrations of metals, such as lead, nickel, iron, and copper, in their aerosols,”
316L Threshold Compositions:
No nickel, no lead.

That means if the appropriate grade material is used in a conventional (low battery) vape, then you ought not release metals—and definitely not release lead and nickel, because they’re not present.

Fair enough, I don’t know as much as I’d like to about the composition of all of these different manufacturers’ cartridges. Time to start figuring all that out…

I have 400 of @Ascent .5ml ceramics left. I can send out a few samples if you wanna test them.
Aboit to reorder 500-1000 more and stockpile

You ought to ask for CoAs for their materials of construction.
Even companies in China have records of where things are coming from and where they’re going

I really find it amusing how people who put such a high value on clean meds will only test a cart if it’s free.

more than willing to buy any ceramic and/or quartz cart samples as well
In my case, I’ve been pushing for this kind of stuff internally where I work. The burden of proof falls on me to convince people that certain things are worth the expense. If I just have one of these carts and let them try it, the odds are better in my favor.
