Copper posts

How often do I have to clean them? Just got the freak show RDA and it has a copper pos post.

I have the Doge v2 and it has a copper center post and I just rinse it off with water every time I change out my coils. Usually about every 2 weeks or less. But honestly I dont think it's too big of a deal, i wouldnt worry about cleaning the copper or anything all the time

You don't want to see any bluish/greenish discoloration. That would be copper sulfate, which is toxic.

Just give them a good wipe down. Dont worry about polishing or using water.

Do you know why this happens?

Is there a way to prevent it or remove it?

Thanks

The best way to avoid this is by using SS center post if available

The dis-coloring is a sign of oxidation (like rust on iron). In other words, the metal is combining with oxygen atoms. It can't be avoided, 'cause oxigene is almost everywhere to be found, including water. However, it will take a long time, before you'll see it. To gently remove the oxidation, (as silly as it may sound) you could use a regular tooth paste put some on a vapor towel and polish, rinsing it off with water, when done.
My grandmother used to polish her Gold wedding ring and her Silver utensils with tooth paste. I'll do the same on my RDAs when it's time, as well as polish my copper mech mod.

Would never-dull be a bad idea if you wash it off with soap after?

As long as you rinse it well and dry it, no problems

I would be concerned with juices with citric acid in that atty as well. When I was like 6 or 7, mom made a fruit salad to go with dinner in a copper bowl. Halfway through my portion, mom noticed the copper bowl turning green.

I spent all night puking up ipecac syrup in the bathroom. Not a recommend experience for anyone.

That's what they call a forced patina.

I'm just curious about the way the posts patina, because if there was some sort of coating on it, and I use the never-dull, would I have to clean it more often after said coating coating is gone?

If there's a coating on the post, it shouldn't oxidize. In addition, I wouldn't use never-dull. Who knows what's in it, and it could dissolve in your liquid. Therefore being inhaled.

I'd wash it thoroughly if I used the never-dull.
