I've recently been using a little portable vaporizer (http://boards.cannabis.com/cannabis-...y-out-imo.html)

The construction of said vaporizer chamber is said to be copper with gold plating. The gold plating is there, but there seem to be extremely minutely raised bubbles on the surface inside the chamber now. They've been starting to slowly accumulate, the few large ones beeing about 1mm in diameter and raised maybe 0.002-0.003" of an inch. Pretty small... and dont seem to be affected much by rubbing a fingernail over them.

But is this copper oxide? Or some product of the THC boiling and getting under the gold plating somehow by means of seapage? Or some gold reactant even?

Is that enough to worry about or am I just paranoid?
