Looks like the cat is out of the bag, so lets address it.
From that I understand Grimm issued a warning about these coils in a VLOG.
I’ve actually known about the POTENTIAL issue for some time after the review was complete. As a matter of fact, the vendor who told me to take a serious look at the coils due to their performance, is the same vendor who later told me about the potential issue. Ugh!!
I’m not one to raise concerns and create scares without proof, so I’ve been waiting to issue an official warning until the vendor finished their testing and had the scientific proof to back up the claim and the issue.
The manufacturer is telling me the coils are safe, the vendor is telling me there is a potential issue.
The vendor in question would like to remain nameless at this point, but they’ve been known to do independent testing on the things they sell in the past. I’m sure they will come forward soon enough. They’re in the process of further and independently testing the coils including inhalation tests. The issue is with Magnesium Oxide (and potentially something else) and the vendor has informed me that the results should be available next week.
So what have I been doing behind the scenes?
- I’ve been pushing that vendor for results as hard as possible so I can issue the warning should it become required.
- Any other manufacturers who have approached me with ceramic coils have been asked to provide MSDS sheets and inhalation tests.
I will keep you informed as I get more information and post any results I get.
In the meantime, if you don’t feel comfortable using them… DON’T!!
I do have an official (and unsatisfying) response from Vaporesso.
We proudly present Target 75VTC, an electronic cigarette kit designed for everybody.
By everybody, we mean people who enjoyed vaping, who currently enjoy vaping, and who will enjoy vaping. The concept underlying Target 75VTC is to become a universally accepted device with its specialty that distinguishes itself from other vaporizers. To achieve this goal, design and vaporization process are heavily focused area where we search for improvements.
In a market where box mod and pen-shaped batteries are predominant, Target 75VTC challenges the current standard and seeks to redefine the shape and size with an ergonomically designed battery that fits both right-handed and left-handed users. The battery surface is painted or polished to exhibit bright and delightful color with smooth texture.
The tank combines the bottom vertical coil structure with ceramic core to address the concern of toxic chemicals from burnt cottons. The material used leads to longer coil life cycle with the ability to clean up burnt flavor when e-liquid runs out. The unique structural change eliminates the spitting problem that most tanks has. The final product for our consumers is consistent aroma of e-liquid in a more enjoyable vapor inhaling process.
This new ceramic material used to fuse with metallic coils has been repeatedly tested out of safety concern. The material has been approved as safe for use and certified with a Material Safety Data Sheet authored by an independent third party.
Since the beginning of Target kit sale, we have received a lot of support and approval from our partners and customers. We want to seize this opportunity and express our gratefulness through the never overly used, thank you.
