E-Juice making my tank cloudy??! What would it do to my lungs??

[johnny604]

i got this juice from mapleleafvapes called banana, i got the triple shot and it makes my tank cloudy...

if it makes my tank cloud up what would it do to your lungs??? even the rubber thing on the coil started expanding... starting to think certain juice could be bad for you!!! i should of just bought juice of well known venders

Yea what happens with these types of e liquid is that the juice starts to eat away at your lungs just like it is on your tank. Sooner or later your lungs will disintegrate into nothing and you will need an artificial lung or gill replacement (note with a gill replacement you will need to live the rest of your life under water).

In other words I am clueless on what and if the side effects are but now that you say something I am wondering too!

What kind of tank?

Some juice reacts with polycarbonate and actually melts it. It doesn't necessarily mean that's what's happening to your lungs (unless you continue to use it and vape melted plastic, of course!) It's a chemical reaction with the plastic.

Polypropylene tanks don't suffer the same reaction and will hold up fine to tank cracking juices. Glass or pyrex is fine as well. Do a search here on the forum for tank cracking juices and you'll see its a fairly common thing. Don't panic just yet!

Edited to add: polycarbonate is clear and polypropylene looks like frosted glass. If you're using a clear plastic tank it's probably polycarbonate.

I'll bet it makes your lungs cloudy too!
No. Wait... Lungs aren't made of plastic, they're made of meat. Hmm, quite the quandary... i'll have to research "Banana Lung" further.

Banana is a known "tank cracker". You need a glass or metal tank for some flavors. As for affecting your lungs? You're kidding, right?

This should be a sticky in the eliquid section but for now I will keep posting a link when needed.

If you find a liquid that has caused a reaction and it is not on the current update, please post it in this thread.

thanks, i searched up cloudy tank but nothing poped up, just a bunch of other threads that were not related to cloudy tanks....

since we are here why does some juice smell like nail polish??? that stuff smells poisonous, my buddy had some juice that smelled exactly like nail polish, my banana kinda smells like nail polish too

yeah i have some paranoid problems..

What you're probably smelling is the alcohol used in extracting flavors. Take your caps and dripper tips off the bottles for a couple of days to let the alcohol evaporate out. Shake them every so often. Cap and dripper back on after two days. See if that makes a difference.

Sometimes a Google search works better than the search function in ECF. I mostly use Google and pick the ECF thread that invariably is the thread I'm looking for. I've finally subscribed to the Tank cracker thread after having to google for it too many times.

Wait, I got some nail polish that smells just like banana e-juice. What the H#$% is going on here!!?!?!?!?!?

It's a conspiracy..... BT is behind it I just KNOW it!!!!!

Maybe some juice heats faster and hotter than others? Cloudy plastic is a result of oxidation. My best guess is: since your lungs aren't made of plastic, then they shouldn't be cloudy.
I wouldn't chance vaping from a plastic device that is deteriorating or altered; especially since it is being heated.
Also, those juices sound like they need to be Vaped slower and not as "hot".
Can you adjust that with your device, or get one that doesn't get as hot for those juices?
Another way to see it is: have you coughed up anything funky or funkier than usual? Do you have a cough when you vape those juices?
Coughing is our first sign that the lungs aren't happy.

Another thought: heat and oxidation cloud the plastic. Even if you do have plastic lungs, the vape isn't as hot in your lungs as it is when it's in your device. It should be considerably cooler by then.
