never said aluminum...but yes, me and many others
there is something in the 3rd pic now that you mention it (of course insignificant)
But like you said
"IF there is shavings, theyre so microscopic and insignificant that they dont even matter"
wise up, there is no such thing as steel shavings in a concentrate that are insignificant or don't matter
even if you cant see it with your eyes
Most people would agree with that
im not selling this oil to "patients" as "medicine" this was my personal smoke. after smoking about 50 grams, the nail has barely ANY residue on it, let alone metal shavings.
ive tried scraping with just a plain, clean, sharp new blade in the dish for like 10 mins and came up with nothing.
I can scrape that whole dish in 2 passes, not going over the same area twice.
whats so bad about possibly having 5 ppm metal shavings in the oil? youve smoked off a metal screen before havnt you? the nail is metal isnt it? ever smoked someone elses bud? (what if it wasnt 100% flushed/clean... only 99.5%??) how about a hoot of non winterized oil?? im sure those alone are "worse" for you than 1ppm of metal in a 10 gram chunk of oil.... not like the metal is making its way into my lungs.
were inhaling massive clouds of thick smoke daily, sometimes not 100.000000% purged, sometimes its not off a real 100.0000% TI nail. sometimes made by some other guy. if you think 10ppm SS shavings in the oil is gonna kill you, youd better think again, there is more harmful shit in the oil that you should truly be concerned about, like plant waxes that truly damage the lungs, not a microscopic spec of metal dust.
I find it funny how people will find ANY tiny little thing to bitch about, then go smoke a cigarette and eat a double cheese pizza.
that first pic,,, "no I in team" I dropped on the carpet. I would be WAY more concerned about carpet dust/hairs on my BHO than 5ppm metal shavings.... why did you not catch that?
"smoking metal shavings" texas you crack me up. im smoking more waxes than metal shavings, let that sink in for a second and see what the real concern is here. think about it.
I am a welder, ive seen SS chunks of pipe RED hot, (the welding fumes are a diff story) whats the diff between me standing in a tent with a 316/304 SS flange thats glowing red hot, and a microscopic of SS steel sitting on a red hot nail?
no doubt there is the odd insignificant microscopic spec in the oil, ill agree with ya there.
BUT, is it REALLY that harmful and something to be concerned about? I think theres more important stuff to worry about here.
