I've got a bottle of vapor beast Razzmattazz, which lists citric acid as an ingredient as a "flavor preservative." Loaded it into my iclear 30 (polycarbonate), but I've heard issues regarding tank cracking when citric acid is an ingredient in juice. Left it overnight and it looks fine visually, took a drag this morning tastes good. Is this safe or should I toss?
Citric acid in Iclear 30...safe?

^^ This. Tank "cracking" is a chemical reaction inside of your tank between the liquid and the poly. This reaction leaches BPA out of the poly. It can take days to begin to fog or deteriorate visually.
It's okay that you took a few drags, but I recommend that you put that juice into something else. I don't buy any plastic toppers at all anymore. I don't want to worry about what juice I'm putting into them, and they just aren't worth it to me.
I would not reuse the juice out of the iclear. But in general, you can put fresh juice (any tank crackers) into a cart 
Is it an iClear 30 or an iClear 30S tank?
The 30 and the 30S use different types of polycarbonate. The 30S is specifically made to stand up to most "tank cracking" juices. The 30S will stand up to citrus just fine. I would avoid putting strong cinnamon or anise in it though.
