    I had the KayFun to Nemi hybrid connector which was brass.
    With the juice it turned a horrible green...
    I stopped using that quick sharpe...

    With teh tarnish and "stuff" (lol) that would be generated on the INTERNALS, of all things, I would avoid it like the plague to be honest. Forget the rest. I just wouldn't want to be cleaning the damned thing every time I filled it, and if I didn't clean it I wouldn't be wanting to vape it.

    I recall that one of my early, cheap RDA clones had copper or brass in it that made the juice start to turn green. I caught it quickly as I was always re-dripping and I threw it away immediately taking no chances.

    I can't say I'm surprised by the feedback I've gotten on this topic, and it is very much appreciated . You validate my concerns.

    I'm kind of confused as to what you're even asking. Brass plating would be some other metal plated with brass. That's a big no-no, I've very rarely seen anything made like that. Chrome-plated brass, on the other hand, is what the majority of atomizers out there are made from, and I have yet to hear of someone having an issue while the chrome is still intact, nor have I heard of any cases where the chrome wore off in an are that the juice would routinely come into contact with.

    I was confused as well when I read it. On the link it states it a SS/Brass plated. And appears to be all over the chimney and chamber as well. That's why I said I wouldn't use it at all.
