Copper RDA turning cotton green...

[EquivalentExchange]

I recently got a Copper Broadside mech mod and a Copper Kennedy 25mm RDA and the RDA seems to be turning my cotton green. Have only had the RDA since Saturday and have cleaned it with vinegar but it keeps doing this to the cotton. Is this normal?

Yikes I don't believe it's normal

Nope, is the Kennedy authentic or Clone?

I'm positive, I've been using these juices forever now and have never had this issue

What metal is your build using?

Strange, I've got a few copper RDA's and no issues with them turning the cotton green. As @SirRichardRear asked what is the wire you're using (brand and type), I'd put suspicions on that.

Also post a pix

yeah if it's not the juice, I'm thinking it's the wire. but i mean if the wire was turning the cotton green you'd think the flavor would be nasty?

Acidic juice I guess.

Not that anything will happen to you, under normal use, even with the oxidation, but why would you vape on something made out of uncoated reactive metals? We don't even cook in copper cookware any more and they were supposed to have a non-reactive coating in the first place.

I have an authentic K25 and have had a K24 clone and neither turned the wicks green.

I've had it happen a few times. Usually with Kanthal on copper decks or under copper toppers. Since switching over to SS, the problem has seemingly gone away. I chalk it up to reactivity between wire, juice, and atty.
