Question about Ceramic Coated Flat Irons

[audacious1]

I just bought one from CVS. I'm going out tonight, and I don't feel like roller setting it and sitting under the dryer. Even with the air conditioner, its too hott for all of that.

So, I was gonna purchase the 100% ceramic plated iron, but then I decided against it because it may encourage me to use direct heat whenever I don't want to set my hair.

Enough rambling. Are ceramic coated irons just as "safe" as pure ceramic? Or do they try to get you by advertising it as ceramic when its really no different than the gold plated one?

All I need is one response.

in my experience, the ceramic coated irons are pretty safe until the coating comes off then you are more likely to burn your hair. Plus, they do not last very long at all.. like a few months.
