that works too,but only if you rebuild the head ,which means changing the silica wick

you now need to either rebuild that head or vape a similar juice..something like cherry

MMMMMMMMMMM Cinnamon Chery! Ever Try Atomic Fish from elixor ? If its that much trouble why not just get a RBA dripping atty or just a 510 atty for the strong flavors? Personally that's why I like carto tanks a quick rinse and a new cart and Im off and running. ViVis were supposed to be so much easier but they seem like lots of extra work to me. Pluse a SS Phiniac with a cool DT looks way cooler than any ViVi;-)

No more work than an RBA (rebuildable atomizer for those who are wondering). Saying just get an RBA is saying you'll have to do extra work too. :) A new cartomizer is the easiest of all, I agree.

I have a Tabac BCC with a cinnamon flavored eJuice right now. I have noticed that the juice is smoking up the glass on the clearomizer. Is that normal? Is it something I need to be careful with?

As far as the look of it, I don't really mind because it is giving the clearomizer a frosted look, but I don't want to be drawing off it and it shatter.

John... were you by chance in the vapon.tv channel last night? LOL, there was a John there with the same issue.

My husband had the same problem with cinnamon. It was the flavor that ultimately got him to totally quit regular cigarettes, but he melted a tank. I tried it in a metal tank but had a really pretty plastic drip tip on it. Big mistake, it turned it into a goopy, sticky mess!

Cinnamon hurts my chest anyway, so I steer clear of it!

It is difficult to get the cinnamon taste out but NOT impossible. I have succeeded (with an atomizer) by doing the following:

Soak overnight in Everclear (PGA) or even 91% Iso alcohol.
Blow out the atty and allow it to sit for a few hours.
Do a couple of quick dry burns. Wear eye protection. (Be careful and quick on the [un]trigger finger here, alcohol burns hot and fast)
Now, soak the atty in white vinegar for a few hours.
Blow it out and then re-soak in PGA (NOT Iso this time).
Allow it to dry. Then drip about 5 drops of e-liquid into the atty and allow it to sit for 10 or 15 minutes. Add another drop or two of e-liquid and vape away.

The second PGA soak is to get the vinegar taste out of the atty. It might be worse than crab juice. =)

Haven't tried this with a tank or clearo but I bet it will work too.

Using the Evolution X w/ tank system. I ordered some new vaporizers online tonight but it will probably be Saturday before I get them.

Johnny, I did a search for 'Evolution X w/ tank system' and found this. I'll assume it's the one you have. Correct me if it's not. I never bought a eGo-T, opting for a eGo-C instead, but I think it's a re-branded version of the 'T'. Maybe someone who has one can confirm.

Here's a video of someone cleaning a T attie. Personally, I would use pga or vodka instead of isopropyl or rubbing alcohol for safety. Breathing or drinking non-consumable alcohol is BAD. This way you can blow out the attie with your lips on the cone and you should be good to go. With my C atties I can stick a 16 gauge blunt syringe into the hole at the battery end and use that to power flush the liquid through it. I am careful not to push the needle in too far as the coil is right there. HTH.

If the plastic is becoming clody and looks frosted then no, that is not normal. That is a chemical reaction between the juice and the plastic, and you are inhaling chemical by-products. The plastic is probably polycarbonate. Don't vape it in a polycarbonate clearo or tank. Get either a metal clearo tube/tank or a glass one.
