Just because something chemically reacts with plastic doesn't mean it's not safe for human consumption (and the reverse is true: the fact that something doesn't react with plastic doesn't mean it IS safe). For example, hydrofluoric acid doesn't react with HDPE plastic but will dissolve glass, metal, and flesh.
tank crackers react with polycarbonate, but not polypropylene or silica and boron oxide (aka the components of pyrex glass). All it means is chemical A doesn't play nice with chemical B. Since you don't have any of those compounds in your body (at least, I hope not!), it's not an indicator of whether it's safe for your chemical structure or not.
There's a pretty nifty chemical compatibility resource here Chemical Compatibility Database from Cole-Parmer
Some compounds that react severely with polycarb are amyl acetate and acetamide, both of which are derived from acetic acid (vinegar) and are used in flavorings. They're fine with polypropylene. Straight cinnamon oil can react with both plastics, while orange will react with polycarb and not with polypro. You can also choose to check all products (on the left hand option box) and compare to a specific compound (in the right hand option box). Doing this shows that anise oil reacts severely with Acetal (Delrin®), orange oil reacts poorly with silicone, and citric acid is actually fine with the common vaping plastics (polycarb, polypro, delrin, and silicone).
