I've recently purchased a Pyrex tank and have noticed that the taste of the juice stays the same throughout the entire tank compared to my old plastic smoktech tanks. I purchased my Pyrex tank from this fairly new company based in New Mexico for a very fair price. I got a 3ml tank kit for $16.99 and just placed another order for their 6ml tank kit for $19.99.

That type of cinnamon is fine. It's the "Red Hot" type you need to be careful with.


This makes a lot more sense to me. I was worried as I had put some pumpkin spice cupcake (which has cinnamon and ginger undertones) in a stardust just a day or two ago and I didn't want it to break down... I have tried some of the fireball/nuclear holocaust type cinnamon flavors and while they have a lot of flavor, it is no surprise that it might attack the plastic.

You can also look for tanks with high polypropylene content. PP is less prone to cracking or melting with the acidic juices like cinnamon. It's also less transparent and looks foggy. Best bet is glass or metal. I never heard that minty flavors melt the polycarbonate. I would question that. It's acid that does it, like in citrus flavors, cinnamon and a few others, like pineapple. Somewhere, there's a thread that lists all the flavors that people have had problems with melting or cracking their tanks. Don't recall mint being on the list. I have a CE4 right now that has had spearmint in it for a week without problems.

Is this the thread?
