I am building an all brass hybrid, yes, an all brass hybrid!! The tube, connections, tank and cap will all be brass.

Since
brass can sometimes be a controversial topic in itself, I would like to
provide you with some information regarding the research that I have
performed on this topic.

Having been a welder / machinist / fabricator for over 25 years, I have a lot of experiences and preferences surrounding metals.

First
of all brass is only hazardous in its fume state, in order for brass to
get to fume state, which is not reached until the metal is heated to
1800 degrees. Lets take a moment to look at our coil set-ups in our
atomizers. I have personally tested the direct heat a typical coil
reaches (during chain vaping), and experienced temperatures peaking
under 400 degrees. This is nowhere near approaching any safety limits of
brass, nor is the coil obviously even in direct contact with any brass
itself. Even if it were, 400 degrees is a walk in the park for brass.

Lets
also talk a bit about any potential leaching effects of the brass into
our e-liquids. With gassing concerns out of the way, the next logical
test is to ensure that no harmful chemicals or metals can leach into our
e-liquid. To test for safety, I engaged a College Professor in the
state of NM. What these tests have produced, boils down to this. A
person could start seeing some side effects if that person would be
vaping gallons of juice per day, on a daily basis. Symptoms would be flu
like.

With that being said, and as with anything we are putting
our bodies, cleanliness should be first and foremost!! The cleaner
anything is, the better and less chance of any harmful effects. So
cleaning should happen every week or so (no different from any other
atomizer). Most of us like tinkering with our mods anyway and while
changing flavors, wrapping a new coil, new wick setup, everything should
get a good cleaning!!

I say all of that, to say this… My goal in
bringing you this Hybrid is to bring something new and exciting to the
market. Being a personal fan of brass (appearance, durability, and
performance), I wanted to bring something unique into the marketplace. I
have been using prototypes of my Hybrid for months and have gathered
feedback from several other avid vapers as well to develop the best
possible mod I can. My goal is to deliver sleek style, safety, and
performance. I truly believe that you find the pinnacle of those
attributes in my new Hybrid and look forward to sharing our combined
experiences with it, and that any safety concerns that may exist,
quickly subside.


Thank you for your time!!
