Determining which juices require glass??

[jaytex1969]

I currently use acrylic tanks. I have a Pyrex ordered for those juices that require it, but I frankly prefer less fragile gear whenever I can opt for it.

How does one tell which juices require glass (other than the "trial & error method)?


Thanks.

Jay

Here is a great resource regarding "tank cracking" eliquid by ECF member Baditude: Something Safe for Cinnamon and Citrus Flavors

Make sure to open all his links! Two of those links are:

* A blog post by ECF member The Ocelot titled "EEEKKK it's Melting".
* A "HUGE" list of juice and flavorings that may cause problems as far as cracking, fogging, or etching polycarbonate tanks (compiled by ECF member my4jewels).

Personally, I prefer to avoid the whole issue of tank cracker eliquids by using glass clearomizers. My daughter killed a week old Kanger Evod clearomizer by using Wild Cherry eliquid in it - she did not see the notice on the vendor website that the eliquid was a known tank cracker. With glass, I can vape anything I like and not have to worry.

Im on the other side, if its strong enough to eat /breakdown polycarb/plastics
why on earth would I want that in my lungs. Very few chemicals can actually do this and they are usually pretty harsh

I would think it's easier to find a glass tank with a metal shroud and just be done with the issue. Secondly, if you have a glass tank, put a couple of O-rings around the tank to help prevent breakage if you drop it on a regular basis. It seems to help mine. Glass doesn't impart any change to the taste of the juice and I can tell a big difference from the plastic tanks I used to use.
