Hello , i wonder if a destop vaporizer i am using is harmful to my body?

I am using a stainless steel i just notice that it turn to rainbow corlor in small area. I have heard that metal release a harmful fume and adore when it turn rainbow color.

Does anybody notice a burning smell from metal?

There is an FYI that is on Reddit that addresses the safety of different materials. It also talks to the issue of material safety . There is something called the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that suppliers have to provide. Just google that and the material you are interested in and you can have fun for hours!

So to make Stainless Steel you need to have a small amount of chromium in there & that's why Stainless does not rust. But a lot of stainless steel is used in medical devices in general. So most stainless is considered safe. Similar for Brass, most brass musical instruments have used brass mouthpieces for centuries but people think that since lead is part of its alloy it is unsafe. Brass is used widely in plumbing world wide.

The thing you don't want to do is worry if you read something about toxic fumes at like 800 or 900 degrees for some material and worry about that, The internal temperatures in a Vaporizer doesn't come close to that.

The grade of the material makes a big difference when it comes to leaching.
