Does Turkish crack tanks: 3 times is a pattern?

I've put a considerable amount of most Halo juices through my Triton tanks....you won't look back. Halo is too well run to put out juices that are incompatible with their tank. Side note: I've been literally begging for them to produce a pyrex Triton tank for months!! Such a wonderfully matched system would be perfect with that one upgrade! ;)

I would love to see this too, but it would either have to be much wider than the stick bat to maintain that 2.4ml, or a much smaller volume tank. Since pyrex will be a lot thicker than currently used plastic. Either way it will be very top heavy and prone gravity related accidents then.

BUT YES!!! I want a pyrex tank.

Now that I have the Triton it's hard to remember why I cared about mini-tanks! They are good for trying flavors, though, and I still have the G6. Gonna avoid the smoke minis for a while, since my other colors are fine and I have enough of them for now. Pyrex would be sweet!

69CamaroSS, my dad has a cherry red '67 Camaro convertible that he bought in '68. I can't remember if he is the second owner, or original owner. It needs a lot of work at this point because he stopped restoring and maintaining about 10 years ago. But back in the day, that was one amazing car!

More bacon and booze! By order of Dr. wheezal! Life is good...

I told ya!!

Once I got the Triton, my G6 type cigalike is seldom used.

And @69CamaroSS regarding Pyrex tanks? Get an adapter.

I don't think Halo will ever make a Pyrex tank. It'd be against their strategy. They want you to use Halo eliquids, which all are compatible in their tanks. The only need for pyrex is for a competitor's product.

Having said that, I'd buy a Halo Pyrex immediately. lol.

I have used Turkish in my Triton tanks with never a crack...after one year, my first Triton tank still is just fine.

As an ejuice blend, there is nothing in Turkish that should cause a problem with a plastic tank. Some citrus flavors and licorice can definitely break down a plastic tank (Not Malibu, by the way).

Having said that, you can get unlucky and a run of tanks may be more, or less prone to cracking due to heating/cooling. I suspect that this is due to the glue that holds the tanks to the metal top and bottom of the clearomizer expanding/contracting too much from the heat.

The Mini Tanks can be prone to cracking where the silicone seal on the tip goes into the tank.

Thanks, PeteC2. It does seem like a bad run and my bad luck. The cracks were around the silicone seal, and I don't think mishandling them was the issue. As everyone says here, it's no worries because they are relatively inexpensive. But 4 of them at $4 each plus tax and s/h... that's nearly a 30 ml bottle. As long as my beloved Turkish isn't a problem I'm good!

Mixed with Torque, it takes me back to the cloves I loved - until the no ciggie flavor ruling in '08 or '09 that took them off the shelves. It's good to have that flavor back - without the stink and harm.

I too will vouche for the Turkish blend as I've used it in Halo tanks as well as others and never had an issue. Love the TT :) But I've had some sitting in a tank for over a month and others that I vape regularly and not had an issue. Will be interested to see if this problem persists for you though (Hopefully it doesn't of course!)

Well, a week and a half of daily vaping TT in my ADV blend in the Triton with no problems at all! It looks more and more like bad luck.

Of all the mini-tanks I've bought since early Feb, there are three clear tanks still going strong after cleaning and regular use. I suppose it's possible that the pigment affects the plastic. I'll stick with clear minis in the future for sampling new flavors. And Triton tanks for color coded favorites.

I know this has been posted elsewhere on the forum, but in the event that it may help you guys...

I have three of these glass tanks, using these coils. The threading fits perfectly on my Tritons, and I'm happily vaping my Hawk Sauce, Maraschino Cherry and Green Apple from Mt. Baker. :vapor:

Thanks for that, Teach08! Very good to know.

I just went with clear for all my tanks and use little strips of blue masking tape with hand written labels on them.
