CE4 became cloudy

[knightx]

hey all, i was cleaning my ce4 the other day and the plastic tube on the atomiser became really cloudy and it doesnt go away! I soaked it in hot water and then dry burned it before rinsing everything out. After a couple of minutes it started to become cloudy and look like there was condensation on it. Ive tried everything and i cant get rid of it!

what flavor juice where you using? there are some flavors that cloud/crack that type of plastic. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos.html

Yep, that's the first sign of putting a tank cracker in there. Whatever juice that was needs to be stored and vaped in glass or non reactive metal.

I would say pitch the tank. If you want to use acidic flavors I would suggest protank/protank mini or aro pyrex tanks. Somewhat inexpensive to hand blown glass tank/rebuildables. Good luck and happy vaping

No worries, I have a few DIY tank crackers that are delicious - just need a glass tank for them is all. No harm vaping those, they just can't be vaped and probably shouldn't be stored in plastic is all.

My Mandarin sunrise, any of my colas (the cola I use is a cracker), my cherry limeade and, lemon drops are all tank crackers.

That's why they make cheap CE4 tanks (see Fasttech.com) - good place to put suspect juice overnight to test for that - just 1/4 tank is enough for testing, it will cloud or all out crack the tank by morning if it's going to do it at all. Just put a little in the cheap, disposable tank and set it on a saucer for the night. Not much wasted if it is a cracker and, you know not to vape it in plastic after that.
