Aluminum vs Ceramic heating element (atomizer)

[kaaayd]

I have been vaping for years before I heard of E-Cigarettes. It has always been said that metal heating elements are bad for your health. I've heard that metal heating elements (usually aluminum) cause Alzheimer's. I've been concerned that we're using atomizers that are made of metal (correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like metal).

Are there any E-cigs that use ceramic atomizers, or are there any plans to create ceramic atomizers? I'm sure ceramic atomizers will be more durable as well. I've been using a Vapor Brothers vaporizer for about 5-6 years (maybe more), and it hasn't broke down yet, and still produced great vapor. I've kept it running for many hours at a time as well.

If anything, I'm hoping this thread will be seen by the people that create the PV mods. Maybe they will experiment with a ceramic heating element for their next model.

Our e-cigs use an alloy of 80% nickel 20% chromium.

I have no idea if ceramics are in the works comercially but there's a group in the modders forum trying to make it work.

Very good news. If you happen to remember who is working on it, please let me know. I would like to follow the development.

i'm screwed. i know for a fact i have a crap-ton of aluminum particles along with various other metals embedded in my hands. part of being a manual lathe operator... somewhat interesting seeing an x-ray of your hand after working at a machine shop for only about 3 years. its actually hard to see the bones... should have seen that x-ray techs face when she saw it. lol they were checking to see if my thumb was broken. turns out it wasn't oh what was i saying... who are you! WHERE AM I!?
