Thank you! I clarified I'm comparing the POTV One vs. the Fury Edge model.
May I ask, why don't you see aluminum as an issue? I've read arguments on both sides, and research seems fairly split between inert and dangerous.
You're welcome.
Glad you corrected your post, at least part of it? It still says "they are honoring the 4/20 discount price of $125 for the Fury", shouldn't that say 'EDGE'? As long as you know what you're doing it should be OK.
I recognize material safety in formal terms. MSDS and all that good stuff that
quantifies the threat in terms of how much for how long is problematic. Too much alcohol is fatal, but lots of folks enjoy beer? Some even like a nice Single Malt Scotch from time to time. There's one number for guys who work around a hazard 8 hours at a time, another for shorter periods and so on. Rated on what exposure sickens half the group. No such information exists for Aluminum exposure (not that it hasn't been tested a LOT). To me, that ends the concern. If there was such carefully tested data, that too would end the discussion the other way. And we'd fall back on 'ALARA' (As Low As Realistically Achievable) like we do for radiation and other established threats.
In practice Aluminum itself isn't really involved. Aluminum instantly oxidizes, to Al203 IIRC), a very hard layer a few molecules thick. Ironically a ceramic as I recall. Very hard, we make 'sandpaper' out of it, you can actually sharpen you knife on it, even though you can ironically carve the Aluminum with that same knife (once you cut through the protective layer). So that bowl really is lined with Aluminum Oxide, a bit like a perfect coat of paint?
As an observation, if the case that Aluminum was dangerous in vapes I'm sure the makers who use SS would make big deal of it, pointing the the documentation.......wouldn't you?
There are indeed two groups of folks on this issue, I'm just in the 'no big deal' group.
Your call, as ever. Enjoy your EDGE when it finally gets to you. BTW consider buying the dosing capsules for it, and maybe a bent stem? Many of us use that stem exclusively, very handy.
