copper packing essencia

Postby Mad » Thu Aug 27, 2015 6:42 pm

Hey guys. So i went to the local hbs and he said yup got xopper packing. So thought id help the local guy out as the price was reasonable i thought. Anyway this is the gear i got http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221802475420&alt=web
No as its legit essencia packing i dont doubt its usable. But why is it SO golden and not copper looking at all. I packed it around my condensor coil. The bottom of it has been effected and changed colour even just after a cleaning run with the boka. Wondering who uses it any info on it...

If it looks like brass, and feels like brass, it will probably taste like brass because it's brass...
