It's a really long thread, but if you start at the end and work your way back you'll find the most recent updated list on post #339

Green Apple is on the list, but it might depend on where you get it from. To be safe, it's probably a good idea to use a carto or metal/glass tank.

Thanks, I was looking for something like that. Also, is there any certain way filled clearos should be kept when not in use? Like standing up or does it matter?

It kind of depends on which clearo you're using, but most should be fine no matter how you store them, though I usually try to keep mine upright. But I also carry spares in my pocket and as long as they're filled properly and tightened they don't leak. I use Kanger T3s and a Stardust(CE4)

Yippee! I get to post my blog about "tank cracker" juices again! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/the-ocelot/3786-eeekkk-its-melting.html

When storing clearos, there's no right way (except not upside-down). Even though vivi nova/CE4-type of wicked top coil devices need to have the wicks wet for the juice to flow well, which stay wetter if left on their sides, they often leak out of the seams where tube and caps come together. Bottom coils, like Kangers, I've heard have less of a leaking problem, but keep in mind these products are all little pieces of plastic designed to be disposable, so they aren't that well made anyway. Carto tanks should be stored upright to keep the carto from flooding.

Some people have very cool sets-ups to hold their tanks/clearos, etc., but I use medicine bottles, small jars, teacups, bascially anything I find around the house or at a thrift store - I also sometimes just throw clearos in the back of a drawer on a paper towel if I don't like the flavor that's in them.

Most of the flavors I like are potentially incompatible with polycarb, so I don't buy unsafe gear anymore (I still have a lot left over from before I figured out why my stuff was melting). I primarily use carto tanks, but for small amounts of juice I've started using the CE3 XL (a.k.a. "Phoenix bottom coil") clearo (called a carto by some vendors). I thought they would melt, but a member told she has used them for a long time without a problem, so I gave them a try. So far, so good - and I have some very strong juices. They hold about 1.5ml and 6 of them (filled with different flavors) will fit into a medicine bottle I can throw in my purse. They are interesting little critters. The liquid is held inside by a vacuum, so they either don't leak at all or fail epically (imagine pulling the plunger out of a syringe).

I use CE3's, too, and they hold up really well.
(they're my fav delivery system, actually)
And I've used them with my green apple many times and have not had a problem yet.

Since they are clear (instead of frosted like polypro) I thought for sure they would melt, but I soaked an old one for a week in juice I know can take down a vivi nova, and there was no sign of etching or anything. I just ordered 3 more boxes.
