Definitely not a problem - was just referring to the OP only wanting glass.Is that a problem? Is SS bad for your health?

Good, as I'm thinking of ordering one myself!
What about the blue silicone gasket in the Fury 2, POTV One, Fury Edge, etc.? It's very close to the heating chamber, and I've read that silicone can give off lots of chemicals.
Properly cured high quality silicone, like what is used in the Fury, does not off gas at all. Some may be sensitive to the taste, which can also improve as it is cured and broken in, but Fury2/Edge silicone is some of the most neutral available. It also is further from the chamber than the silicone gasket that seals chamber against body of the vape (hard to see in pics) so if any would concern you it would be that one for that. The other one remains cool and kinda out of vaporpath as well since it just holds the screen. This other silicone above chamber is also out of path bc of how shape of the blue one connects, glass stems also get it out of path.
Silicone leaches at room temperature. Stick a silicone spatula in a bowl of crushed tomatoes for 10-15 minutes and watch what happens. If you want to talk about what silicone does when heated, anyone with an Instant Pot will tell you the silicone gasket smells like whatever meal you last cooked in it.
One of many reasons why I'm building my own glass vaporizer with a true isolated air/vapor path.
Thanks for all the advice everyone. So far the Fury2 or Fierce are looking like the ones I'm gonna get. Vapolution or e-nano have second place.

me, too!
when the WPA is instered into the Fury chamber the glass seats all the way to the metal screen in bottom of chamber... the herb chamber is about 3/8 inch deep so the WPA is 3/8 inch away from the silicone... and as @Shit Snacks mentioned... even the other attachments do not directly touch silicone...What about the blue silicone gasket in the Fury 2, POTV One, Fury Edge, etc.?

OK, but the silicone has two sides, right? One is on top, where the stem goes in, so no contact with the air. But the other is below the screen, where the air gets heated up before passing through the screen and the herb above.when the WPA is instered into the Fury chamber the glass seats all the way to the metal screen in bottom of chamber... the herb chamber is about 3/8 inch deep so the WPA is 3/8 inch away from the silicone... and as @Shit Snacks mentioned... even the other attachments do not directly touch silicone...

If you are willing to accept a ceramic heater in the air path and a cord then you might look at the ... Vape Xhale EVO.

But the part that seals the mouthpiece against the chamber is the underside of the blue silicone, isn't it?the air path leading into the herb chamber is a stainless steel isolated airpath with nothing but a heater in there. you can see the little holes on the bottom of unit... they start the air path tube that pulls in fresh air to heat and vape with... so with a glass insert the heated airpath is stainless steel to glass only, no other materials are there

See here:
So inevitably the silicone is directly in contact with the hot chamber and the air that leads up to the herbs through the metal screen.
