Heh ...put a Cinnamon flavor into one of the polycarbonate clearomizers at 100% strength and you can practically watch the thing melt.
Frustrating thing new Vapers should know in advance...

Well, lets assume you now know what to watch out for and what to use for certain juices. You have just made another step toward saving money.
Remember, when you smoked all you had left at the end was a crumpled package heading to thee trash bin.
Add Banana to your list of problem liquids if you like. Known to swell rubber/seals
Some problems are Vender specific as stated. I mixed Black and blueberry to use it up. Blackberry was to tart for me. No clearomizer issues after 20 ml.

I have been using EVODs that are polycarbonate and have been very lucky. I use Key Lime, Pina Colada, chocolate bases and lots of different tobacco blends and all tanks are still functional. I do have a Pro tank and have ordered the new Vision Victory with the glass 5ml tank. I have started putting the more dangerous juices in the glass tank and trying to save my EVODs from the problems. I didn't realize that the tobacco flavors would cause any problems. I will research! 
Had that happen to one of my two evods... tried to find out more info by looking around the 'net... couldn't find that at all. Posted about it, everyone seems surprised LOL. Think mine was due to a orange flavor.
The awesomeness of VV is out of my reach for now. The price is just too high at the moment.
To be fair- I think the majority of the vets and others, and ecig suppliers do a great job here at ECF guiding new members.
There are a ton of tips and tricks involving the use of ecigs and no one can cover all that info for another.
If you're interested in purchasing an item, ask what the Pros and Cons are. People here are more than happy to put their 2cents in on damn near any subject- ecig or otherwise.
Never heard of this. [enter into google, click on link] "COOL!" Definitely will look into these when I have a little money to spend. Phiniac makes neat looking stuff!
From what I can tell, the blueberry is the problem. Haven't heard anyone having much problem with blackberry. But blueberry is known to melt drip-tips and some gaskets.
This is good advice, though I use my cartos until they get really gunked up, maybe a month or so. Flavor and vape really degrades using old cartos.
Another thing new vapers should know.......1 carto=1 pack

You have to get an organic vape liquid. I use blackberry all the time and never have an issue. I have cheap to expensive tanks and they all work well. I vape literally all day. I have tried lots of vendors liquids and I am addicted to just one now.

Absolutely! ECF members have been nothing but helpful in my quest for the perfect....well as close to perfect as I can afford right now...vape. It's the local retailers that I've had a problem with. Every time I've had a problem or a question, I've googled it and 90% of the time, I'm linked to an ECF post which answers my question. And if I don't find the answer here, I post it here. Part of my problem is that I didn't do any research before I bough my first PV. Got an ego battery with a CE5 and all I knew was "Hey, this will keep my from smoking!" Didn't even know that I had an ego batter with a CE5 clearomizer. And that clearomizer is still in use, as opposed to two G-Hit 2.5 ml tanks that I got a week later which are now toast, and one other "I don't even know what it is" with a crack in it because nobody told me about the potential problem, and I didn't think to ask before hand.
I already ordered a Kanger Protank, 2 ego batteries, and 7 T3 tanks from fasttech last week, but they aren't here yet, and I've had 3 tanks die in a blaze of goopy glory since then. I've only been doing this since June 13th, so I'm still trying to get set up so I can finally spend less on this than smoking....assuming I can resist the urge to buy every cool thing or interesting flavor I see online.

I'm glad that you're staying upbeat about this, it can be rather frustrating. And rather expensive.
I really don't need another hobby or frustration in my life, so I just stick with the basic tried and true Ego and Boge set-up with unflavored juice.
Happy vaping!

GOOD ADVICE,OP!!! As im sitting here surfing the forum my freakin clearo is bubbling and sputtering hot liquid into my mouth, not making very much vapor, I got 2 new clearos 4 days ago and it seems they arent working very well already. I keep finding juice in between the clearo and my ego battery, keep cleaning it out and it keeps coming back. The tank part isnt foggy or anything and theres no external leakage but it just keeps gurgling when I try to hit it. I got a new blueberry flavor from myfreedomsmokes.com. maybe that is causing the problems. The other flavors I had before werent doing that. when I get paid in a week Im gonna get a nice big battery for home use and switch over to a pyrex rebuildable tank system. hopefully I can keep the supplies I got goin until then, Im 6 days without an analog and I would like to keep adding to that number Im also wondering if the current heat wave has anything to do with the leaking. Its been right around 100 here in montana for a few days and it seems to make my juice thinner and more prone to leaking... I didnt have any leaking problems before when it was 75-80 degrees. So its either the juice messing with my clearos.... or the heat.

i'd say about half that really.

Actually that has never been proven. your carto will last depending on what you vape and your nic level. and as long as you clean them. my cartos usually last about 2-3 weeks depending on the flavor and the amount I vape
New vaper frustrations to be aware of;
1) All liquid containers that have a hole in them will sooner or later leak, usually at the worst possible time & place.
2) The droplet or two of liquid on top of the battery post is usually a combination of condensation and a tiny bit of juice from the warm vapor passing through a tiny hole then the residue cools inside the air tube and returns to liquid state which then drips down on top of the battery, you can dry this off a dozen times a day or once, doesn't matter.
3) If juice aint running down the side of the battery into a puddle and the juice level isn't dropping rapidly it aint considered a leak.
4) Most if not all delivery devices will flood and or leak when rapid temperature and altitude changes occur.
You'll notice this when going from a heated or cooled area to an outside temp 20 ~ 30 degrees different, after you clear the flooding it will happen all over again when you return to the heated or cooled area.
Flying with a delivery device in your pocket or luggage will usually result in a spot/stain wherever the device is located.
Driving across country and or through the mountains will make you lose your temper, up in elevation = flooding/leaking, clear flooding clean up leak, down in elevation = more flooding/leaking clear said issue and repeat.
A properly filled carto is about as leak proof as it gets. Even then re read #1.

Good info, Topwater Elvis. Thanks. Sounds like I need to get some cartos for traveling. I prefer clearos for day to day. But just to be clear, the leaks I'm talking about the the G-Hit tanks I had were MASSIVE. I was losing almost 2 ml/day just to leakage. And both of them lasted less than a week. And if I let either of them sit for more than a few minutes, upright or on their sides, I had to spend 5 minutes or so just clearing the liquid out of the tube so I could use them again without getting a mouthful of juice. Most plastic/acrylic tanks are designed to be ultimately disposable. Even the rebuildable ones will only last for so long before they need to be tossed. But you shouldn't have to replace them after only a few days.
