NiCr for TC?

recently bought a smok Mag kit & in researching the coils, it seems as though all of smok's coils are NiCr: is this safe for TC?

I'm only asking because a co-worker had to have his artificial hip replaced because the Chromium was leaching into his blood & making him extremely sick: if chromium will leach into one's body from an artificial hip, I can't think that heating them up (to glowing) & then inhaling it would be such a good thing.

Smok has classifictions for voltages, temperatures & wattages, so I'm wondering if I'm just over-analyzing things

Like Kanthal, NiChrome will not work for TC.
What you need to remember is your coil is not inside your body, nor are you heating the actual coil hot enough to turn the metal into a vapor.
Like you can handle pennies all day but you wouldn't want to suck on them.

Its kind of like lead in pewter. You can drink beer from a pewter beer mug. Even if you are a hard core alcoholic you are far more likely to die from liver failure due to alcohol than from lead poisoning from the pewter. :)
