So i just picked up some new wintergreen juice the other day and upon vaping it I noticed the tank I was using became all cloudy. After doing a bunch of searching online and through this forum I realized what had happened and that the juice was actually MELTING the plastic tank. The only thing i couldn't find doing my research was how safe it was to vape the juice as it was doing the melting throughout the day? I probably vaped the whole day on the same cloudy tank. Is whatever chemical reaction thats going on inside pretty harmful to vape and what if you were to keep vaping? Guessing that can't be too good!

Sounds like you were using a Kanger Evod clearomizer? Those have plastic windows which are susceptible to crack, melt, or etch when exposed to certain flavors.

This is a chemical reaction between a specific kind of plastic (polycarbonate) and certain flavoring agents. It changes the molecular structure of the plastic, and I wouldn't recommend vaping from that tank again.

Kanger makes the Protank and Protank Mini which is made of pyrex glass which is immune to those flavors.

I'm actually using a kanger t3D. I've never heard of this happening before! Now its just sitting there waiting to be vaped but that can't be good for your body. I'll be getting a mod with a glass tank soon anyways.
