Hi guys. I got so much help as a noob last post I thought I'd come back for more. First, thanks so much. Got my setup and loving it. Haven't smoked a cig in 5 days. Small, but a beginning! Now my question. I know certain juices like cinnamon or citrus degrade plastic. What should I be using for these juices. Right now I'm using plastic clearomizer. Thanks ahead of time.
Another noob question

Maybe u can start using a Kanger T3 Rebuildable Clearomizer. I got mine from Mt Baker who gave good advice
I've heard that same thing here and there. I'm a newb myself and have some sort of an issue, if you will, about those liquids. I use citrus in my clearomizer, which I think is plastic, and I don't notice any issues. Is there something in certain brands of juice that we really shouldn't be vaping? I mean, Florida orange juice comes in a plastic jug. I can drink it many times from the same plastic cup with no issues. The juice I use has PG, VG, flavoring, and nicotine. What's in there that would eat at plastic?
Not exactly sure what causes it in the juice particularly. I have had it happen with a citrus juice. The tank goes cloudy then will crack. Here is a link to another thread where it gets discussed more.

Best bet is a pyrex tank or a good ol' stainless steel cartomizer.

The reaction of the aforementioned flavors is a chemical one with the clear plastic used in clearomizers and tanks with clear plastic. The plastic is polycarbonate. The said juices are safe to vape in an appropriate juice carrying device, such as a pyrex glass tank, a tank that uses polypropylene plastic, or metal tubes.
The above polypropylene (frosted tubes) cartotanks are safe to use, as well as the all-metal replacement sleeves for the Vivi Nova tanks. Also, just using a metal tubed cartomizer solo is safe to use.
Sorry, Berry. No, a Kanger T3 is made of the clear plastic polycarbonate, too. The same goes for the metal tubes with a clear juice window for the Vivi Nova tanks. You must get the all-metal replacement tube to be safe using these flavors.Berryeclaire said:

I really wish when people offer advice on advanced equipment, that they would take in consideration the likely experience, knowledge, and skill level of the person that they are offering that advice to. It's quite apparent to me that the OP is new to vaping for just 5 days. Probably using a starter cigalike kit, and then someone blatently recommends an extremely advanced and complicated juice carrying device.
These rebuildable atomizers require a high level of technical skill, a knowledge of resistance, ohms, voltage, and watts. How to work with metal mesh wicks and building a heating coil from scratch from wire. This not something to recommend to a beginning vapor. These can be dangerous if attempted by unknowing people.
Voodoo, I'm not attacking you personally, just asking that you pay attention to who you are giving advice to and use some common sense.
No offense to the OP, I'm just looking out for your best interests.
