Cinnamon Danish Swirl

[Chiku]

I got a 3ml sample of Capella cinnamon Danish swirl and it came in a plastic bottle. I've read that cinnamon doesn't react we'll with plastics, so I am guessing that I need to transfer the sample into a glass bottle? Or is it diluted enough in the "Danish swirl"part that it's ok?

It doesn't react well to stressed plastics like Lexan. It usually does fine with HDPE and the like.

 

[Cookster]

It's more the Cinnamon "Red Hots" types of cinnamon that react, not so much the "Warm" cinnamon.

Hi Hoosier! What's HDPE. ?
Im still preferring glass whenever I can get it. Was glad to see some flavors I wanted to try at The Flavors Apprentice because they are using little glass bottles. I do that with my beverages too. Glass or cans. Can't avoid it always but I do try for the most art.

Polyethylene, either high or low density. HDPE is high density polyethylene. After I typed that I realized more of my squeeze bottles are LDPE, but it was the PE part that was relevant. Polypropylene, aka: PP, would be better as it is even more resistant to more chemicals, but I've never found drip bottles made out of it.

I like glass too, but I give too much juice away to convert completely. If I have a plastic bottle of something someone likes, then I don't feel any pain in my wallet giving them the bottle. (And if someone wants to return the favor with empty Halo bottles, I get very generous...)

I've been doing this so long that I remember when TPA/TFA use to ship the glass bottles with drippers. Man, those were the days. But I still use old flavoring bottles from her with the drippers that came with them.

What does the cinnamon do to plastic? Cause it to break down?
So far, flavors like cinnamon red hots seem to be more trouble than they're worth.

Cinnamon "Red Hots" type has "esters", which will leach/cloud polycarbonate plastic. It's sooo delicious though...

BTW, a lot of citric eliquids will also destroy polycarb, as will spearmints/wintergreens. Awhile back, I was using a Peppermint Ice Cream eliquid, which totally clouded my Vision clearomizer. Come to find out, it was made with TPA's Vanilla Ice Cream, which is a major culprit in clouding plastic.

Its' always good to check, just to be on the safe side.

Lol, I'm still using the amber 3ml sample bottles from Johnson Creek that I got over 18 months ago!

I've had some cinnamon in a bottle for over two years and it did nothing to the bottle.

I've had that long because I hated it and forgot about it. I have no intention of ever vaping it, but the bottle looks fine.

I use special equipment when it comes to cinnamon flavors. Many manufacturers sell alternative tanks made of glass and or metals. HDPE bottles are great for non-leeching plastics. Your best non-leech material would be glass but the draw back is its a bit more costly and sucks when dropped.

Gl and happy vaping.

That is my lovely Wife's flavor. She has been vaping it for over 2 years. She likes it at ghastly 12% and we never had a tank crack. It's a different flavor compound than Cinnamaldehyde.

I am about to make a batch of Capellas Cinnamon Danish Swirl. Does anyone know if it will negatively effect my kanger t3 tanks?

TY Cookster, does it need time to "mature" or is it good to go. Slight delay in mixing because of the darn snow.

Ya, saw all the snow on TV today....it was 80 here lol

I give all my mixes a hot water steep, then let them sit, at least, overnight. It's good out of the box, gets better with some time.
