Cinnamon flavors gunk up tanks?

[withravenoushunger]

After leaving Hell Frozen Over in my Protank for about I week I emptied it and now theres all kinds of residue lining it. Simply rinsing it didn't do anything. I'm currently leaving it in some very hot water then in rubbing alcohol. I just hope the tank isn't ruined. Do all cinnamon flavors do this? If so I should probably avoid getting any other cinnamon juices.

I love cinnamon but its not good in plastic tanks. I'm not sure what the protank is made of but make sure you're using poly or glass. There's no way I'd be willing to part with mines!

Yes, that's what I hear of cinnamon and licorice and citrus.

If it was a T3 or evod or other plastic tank there wouldn't be a tank left. Be grateful it's just has a residue

Protank is made of glass. Makes me wonder whats in the flavoring.

Hummm! I've never tried that particular juice but I wonder too! Also what mix is it? Mines are this since I vape 70/30.

I believe they use either 30pg/70vg or 35pg/65vg.

That could have something to do with it. I just started doing some DIY and I didn't realize how thick vg was but it is very thick compared to pg. I can imagine it might lead to more gunk & combined with the cinnamon that could be your issue.

I was able to get most of it out. I filled it with rubbing alcohol and shook the hell out of it then did that again a few more times. There was residue caked on to the back of the tank which I had to scrape out. And somehow some of the juice got behind the glass and I can't get it out. And there is the problem with not being able to disassemble Protanks.

My all-day, every-day vapes have included several bakery cinnamon flavors for a year. The liquids I vape have at least 50% VG and as much as 90%. I haven't have either "gunking" problems or breakage/melting of any tanks or clearos/vivis plastic or otherwise. Hot cinnamon (oil?)
has been cited as a potential problem for plastic liquid delivery systems- I've not heard of it being a factor in gunkage. Personally, I would wonder about the ingredients of any juice that left thick residue on my stuff.
