Just wanted to let everyone know that the tubes do not hold up worth a hoot or I just got a bad batch. I filled one with DFWVapor's Honeysuckle liquid, let it set overnight, and this morning had a cracked tube. I didn't even get a chance to vape it lastnight. The liquid does not contain any oils to eat the tubes up. I inspected the tube prior to filling to make sure that it didn't have any cracks. I have no idea why this happened. The cartomizer was new, unused, and inspected.

To fix the problem, carefully pull off the old tube (mine came off in pieces). Cut a BD 3ml syringe down to fit it leaving enough room for the mouth piece and a little space between the mouth piece and filler. Turn the tube as you slide it on in the same direction that the filler is wrapped. Fits perfectly and can better handle the heat IMO.

Buy Hair your the first to have this issue and everyone else has been using them with no issue ? could it just be a phenomenon that it cracked or maybe there is something in this juice you used, in fact what juice was it ?
The 3ml BD syringe does work well though I have to agree on this for sure

DFWVapor's Honeysuckle. I looked at the bottle sitting on the desk . No separation so I don't think there is any oils in it. I filled another one with VaporsEtc's Groucho and so far nothing has happened to it. I did that one lastnight also.

**Edit: The one with Groucho in it appears to have a split starting at the base. I am going to see what happens by morning. Again, it was only filled and hasn't been used.

Groucho filled one finally split out this morning. Hmmm...I don't know what gives.

I got an order from another vendor today. I filled one with strawberry/kiwi from FSUSA. I haven't used it so I'm going to let it sit overnight. Again, for the third time, I inspected the tube with a magnifying glass at the base as this seems to be where mine are having problems. Looks perfect....time will tell.
