@Just Justin I understand you want to see certain vaporizers succeed, however I have noticed from many of the vaporizers you have reviewed that you don't seem nearly as sensitive as some others to plastics and silicones. There is nothing wrong with this, however I think you have to understand that as a community we should really pay attention to those that are sensitive as they may be saving all of our asses at the end of the day by picking up on something that those with less sensitivity don't notice.
Perhaps patience is a silent killer...and why invite it when the standard for a vape at this price has been set so high by it's peers.
@nosmoking Thank you for that point. I will go through all 3 of my reviews and put in some disclaimers saying that these vaporizers contain Silicone and Plastic;" Beware, those who are sensitive to these materials know that they may influence the taste and smell of the vapor." I thought it was fairly obvious that if a vaporizer uses either of these materials, that maybe, just maybe they will have a slight taste or smell attributed to them and that's that. In the case of my reviews, yes, all 3 use silicone but I didn't think (opinion again) that any of them had an issue with overly strong smells/tastes of these materials, so I didn't feel the need to thoroughly mention it, plus I didn't think it was a huge concern for health reasons because these materials are heat safe, just like the ELO.
This "community" needs to realize that I am not stating facts and that I am only trying to share my experience and opinions, so when someone disagrees with me, that's fine, its going to happen but that doesn't give you the right to say I'm somehow less sensitive to this issue when I don't think its an issue, at least from a health perspective. I know others might think its an issue and that's fine, that's your opinion and I love it, I won't call you out for it!
I wish people would stop telling me that I am less sensitive to silicone and plastic or smell blind when you really have no idea. You read other peoples negative experiences and blame me directly when their experience differs from mine, is that my fault? I never said that this vape is 100% pure silicone and plastic smell/taste free, we all know its there, we all now know where its used in the vape, so if you don't like these materials or you think its going to be a problem for you, then use your best judgment and maybe find a different vape that doesn't use these materials. I trust most of the vape companies to put out safe products and I trust Elo and I trust Ken that he and others use materials that may smell a little at first or influence the taste even though they are safe.
You can say I'm less sensitive, fine, well I think other people are overly sensitive to silicone/plastic and exaggerate something that is probably completely harmless, something that will get better and something that is used in a ton of vapes, why? because its heat safe! Maybe, just maybe I am also sensitive to Silicone/Plastic but I fail to see the point to mention the significance of a material we are all familiar with and that we know is used in this vapes, so I figured it was somewhat common sense that if a vape uses silicone, maybe it will have a silicone taste.
