Nickel allergy and Gen 2 Air: anyone with experience?

Hi everyone,

I ordered the Gen 2 Air but it hasn’t arrived yet — still waiting for the sizing kit. I’m now second-guessing my choice because of my nickel allergy.

I’m quite severely allergic. I used to wear regular earrings as a teen with no issues, but over the years my tolerance dropped to zero. For a long time now I can only wear hypoallergenic titanium earrings, no exceptions.

The Gen 2 Air is made of titanium steel, which may contain nickel. The Gen 2 is pure titanium, but the price difference is significant.

Not sure if it’s worth the extra cost, or if the Gen 2 Air is fine for most nickel-sensitive people.

Has anyone with a nickel allergy tried the Gen 2 Air? Any reactions? Or did you go straight for the Gen 2 to be safe?

Thanks 🙏
