Most likley what they are Talking about is certain liquids will cause a plastic tank to Crack or melt. Like cinnamon or banana. If your tank is glass no problems though I would not want to sub-ohm 18mg nic, that would give me a nasty headache and nausea. you could however get some VG and cut it in half to make it 9mg,(still high for me)but you probley lose quit a bit of flavor.

Howdy Luke, pineapple juices have been known to crack a plastic tank too. Using 1.8% nic in a pen may work, but I recommend 1.2% and preferably lower when sub ohm vaping. 1.8% would give you a mighty harsh throat hit and indeed may make you physically sick. I do have one friend who sub ohms 1.8% nic but he is a rare and different breed of Human.

If you really like the flavors that you have in hand in 18 mg nicotine, you could always get the same size bottles of the same flavors in 0 nicotine, and mix them to get around 9 mg nicotine.

What is the pg/vg ratio of your current eliquid? You might want to go up a bit in vg with your new rig. When my daughter and I switched from cigalikes to Evods, the higher pg that was just fine for us in the cigalikes with cartos was way too harsh for us. We wound up going to 50/50 for most of our eliquids. We do have some in 70 vg/30 pg that work for us, too.

As long as you are using a glass tank, you should have no problem with any eliquid breaking your tank. We are regular users of vendors in the lower price range for eliquids, and the only breakage we had due to eliquid was when my daughter put some Wild Cherry in a week old Kanger Evod tank. We now use glass tanks. Problem solved.

There are lots of juices that will all out wreck an evod. But those are cheap plastic ones. The ijust is glass. And I haven't encountered a juice that will destroy a glass tank, ever.
And good lord man, 18 on a sub ohm is nuts. I've tried some 12 in my isub and mini subtank with the 0.5 coils and I'm ready to puke after like 3 hits. lol.

So I'm switching from an evod to an ijust 2, and I have 4 bottles of 18mg liquid, but a friend says to not put cheap liquid into it, because it will 'mess up my ecig' I know that 18mg on a cloud machine is a lot, but how will high nicotine/cheap liquid break my ecig?
It's not the nicotine.

It's the flavors. There are a whole series if flavors such as Cinnamon, citrus, etc that will degrade PolyCarbonate and acrylic tanks.

Glass tanks there are no problems.

There isca thread here somewhere called tank crackers. That thread will explain what happens to tanks and a list of flavors that ruin tanks

Thanks, but now, I have another important question. I have 2 bottles of this Cloud9 liquid from poundland, and apparently there is some bad stuff in there. It causes nausea, vomiting and strokes. Is that true?? I've already used some of it without knowing this and it just made me lightheaded.
Could be just the nicotine, but I've seen quite a few warnings on it on the internet. It's a cheap brand with no known manufacturer. I suggest you get some better quality liquids and according to you saying you went to poundland, I'm gonna guess you are somewhere in the UK.

Uk Ecig Store - E-Cigarettes, E-Liquid, E-Cigarette Kits There's a site I've ordered tanks and batteries from, so I think they have good-quality liquids that don't break the bank.

Premium E Liquid - Liberty Flights is also a great UK-based company, not that many ready-made e-liquids though. If you are willing to spend a larger amount to buy liquids at once, I prefer Alt i e-cigaretter & rygevæsker | Europas største udvalg | pink-mule.com for that.

PINK MULES SECRETS Those are good ones from Pink Mule, and quite cheap also. about £4 for 15ml of liquid but Pink Mule has got a massive selection of liquids in various nicotine levels: E-LIQUID READY TO VAPE. Shipping from Pink Mule is quite expensive though, so you might want to concider a group buy with friends who vape or buy large amounts of liquids at once to counter the expensive shipping costs. There's also lots of great vaping gear on the Pink Mule site, so you might want to spend a few moments just to check the full supply of mods and so on :)

Also:
Tank crackers liquids/flavors:
Cinnamon
Strong menthol
Absinthe
Anise
Liquorice
Salty Liquorice
Citrus fruit
Cola

If you have a plastic tank, which the iJust 2 doesn't have (iJust 2 tank is glass), then be aware of those flavors. If you have a glass tank, which you do if you have the iJust 2 kit, you're safe to use whatever liquids you please.

Not sure about the nausea vomiting and strokes

The light headed feeling can be caused from too much nicotine.

NOOOO!! If the Cloud 9 is this stuff don't use it!!

From a Forbes article. Just Google Cloud 9!

Yang described Cloud 9 as “a clear liquid” with “no aroma other than a faint fruity smell” that can be discreetly consumed in an e-cigarette and “cannot be detected by standard drug tests.” According to Yang, the drug’s effects “include hallucinations, agitation and severe vomiting,” as well as “seizures, strokes and heart attacks.”[\QUOTE]

It won't make you sick or anything. I have vaped all those flavours.
The most dangerous thing about them is the revolting taste.:cry:

Nobody likes that liquid as the company that stole the name from the 'real' Cloud9 refused to back down. It is made by one of the lesser-known big Chinese companies.

In reality, if it's that or smoking, that wins.

Thank you for posting this. I had no idea stuff like that was being sold as ejuice.

Cloud9-drug was never sold as a nicotine e-liquid or even a vaping liquid. It was sold as "air freshener/bathsalts", a synthetic drug or as a research chemical. If I'm allowed to post the full chemical content of the chemical: methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) or 4-methylmethcathinone, better known as mephedrone. Nothing even close to being VG/PG. Also, you would notice the instant high MDPV or mephedrone produces. It's nowhere near to nicotine overdose or headache. Also, original poster bought the liquids from Poundland. MDPV and Mephedrone are both on druglist over in the UK, so there's no way a fully fledged store would stock illegal items for a pound, most drugaddicts would've bought the shop dry of those if that was the case. Also the liquid research drug is nowadays illegal over in the states also. Pretty please, Cloud9-synthetic drug was posted like two or so years ago and it was outlawed pretty much in couple of weeks or months...
