Hey TK - I remember you saying you had a clearo that disintegrated but I don't remember if you said what flavor was in it. Is it one of the known clearo killers?

I've just been following the links/threads (thanks Toke) about the polycarb clearos not reacting well with certain juices. One showed a video of a few drops put on the outside and minutes later it falls apart. Scary! I agree that the problem has more to do with the materials the clearos are made of - there is other stuff that won't react like that with the juices in question. Aw well, still a young industry, eventually it will evolve as we beta test.

I have never met a fruit flavored vape that I liked, until now. I recently got brave and tried a couple versions (Blueberry Banana and another multi-fruit blend that has banana). I really really really love Banana! :banana:

If SI ever decides to expand their flavor offerings, I do hope some version of banana will be among them. :nun:

Yay you! :) Banana is a surprisingly difficult flavor to get right. I have one banana-tobacco (really!) that I love (Prime Vaping's Kong's Vape), and I just received a Banana Milkshake from AltCig that smells wonderful, but will have to steep a few weeks before I personally can render a verdict. :)



Just thought I'd stop by and share something I found that would hold clearomizers. It's called a bottle buddy from EliteVaperWorks. I have mine filled with a small bottle of my favorite vape and two clearomizers filled.

What a great idea! I have one of those bottle buddies that a vendor sent me with an order and I've never used it. Now I have a use for it. Well, I will have a use for it when I get more clearos. Right now I just have two of them. lol

I have two of those bottle buddies -- from the same vendor as you, I bet, Marlou! :D:D Likewise, I'll now have a good use for them! (NiteLiteVapor sells them.)

We had a discussion going in the clearomizer thread about this stuff...I think he said cherry blossom (?) from PA. The link I posted there (and Toke here) said something about one or more of the ingredients (starts with a T...drawing a blank) reacting with the polycarbonate, and TK is looking into other things these flavors have in common, if we can post the problem flavors...
FaniFox, sorry to say, but your favorite Ultimate Vanilla from TV is on the list, so be careful with that one...

Sweet-Vapes does too, I think. That's where I got mine for free! :)
Wow, perfect fit! Much better fit than the bottles I had in there!

Does this mean you finally got clearos? Last I heard you hadn't tried them yet.

p.s. I am terrible with remembering things and still need to find a shipping envelope....

Nope, not yet...just amassing all the info while I'm waiting for a job...
Not bad, huh? I'm gonna be a pro at these things by the time I get some! :)
Don't rush the shipping thing. Rosepetal just surprised me with a bunch of stuff too, so things are looking really good here! Thanks!

Good morning!!
Nice to see you back Esoterica3! Hope you are fine!!

My hubby brought me coffee at the office today (he is a sweetheart!), so it's plenty of time for me to browse through all my fav threads!

Tina, I loved your idea about the buddies!! I also have a couple of them.
Are you sure these clearos don't leak at all?

The juices I have in them now cause no leaking problems. I'm using a cheesecake from ECBlend and Mint from SI. Only problems I've had so far is the Strawnana, but it didn't leak in the bottle buddy, only while on my X2 battery. Go figure! :-/

Thank you both! :)
And one more thing: do you notice any e-liquid in your mouth, not often but at least once daily? I have that with my CE4+ claros and I was wondering...

Ummm, maybe, but not in the general sense... Not in a pouring in the mouth sense - just a small amount of juice flavor on the tip and that could be condensation from the vapor, but I get a little juice flavor on the tip with every PV I use. It has happened so rarely it is actually hard to say - I clean my tips at every refill so that helps. I kind of have gotten used to it...

The cartos with the rubber tips were the worse, but with the advice someone gave about cutting a groove in them fixed that and now it does not happen anymore... So I am a happy camper all the way around... ;)

Yeah, one of mine cracked and fell apart. The flavor I had in it was a mixture, but one of the ingredients was Cherry Blossom from TFA, which was mentioned as a clearo-cracker. I just didn't know that when I put it in. :)

I'm hoping that SI will make their next version of the clearo with a different plastic. Most of these liquids ship in plastic containers don't have a bad reaction, so it can be done, right?

I think the best solution would be to use a impact resistant glass, but that would be expensive, I bet.
