OK I put my DIY Wintergreen juice in a tank and it looks like slushy ice???
I vaped it a few times and it has good flavor but I'm thinking I shouldn't be yaping it???
It's the Lorann flavoring, contains: Methyl Salicylate.
Any thoughts?

Yep, Wintergreen contains a chemical that completely destroys Polycarbonate tubes on tanks, you are going to have to replace the tube on that tank and you are correct, do not vape it, it can potentially be very hazardous to your health.

Any menthol juices made with actual menthol crystals get 'slushy' like that. You can run the bottle under warm water for a ffew mins, and it'll liquefy again. But that's totally normal.. just the natural crystalization process. I was FREAKED the first time it happened to me, though. I thought it curdled or something. rofl If you aim the water right, you should be able to get it on the glass/plastic part of the tank, not the carto part, and do it right in the tank.

Specifically with Wintergreen it causes a chemical reaction with the tanks. You are correct about most menthols causing some cloudiness at times, none that I have have ever done this but I have heard of it happening. However with Wintergreen it is dissolving the tank tube itself and that leaves trace to heavy chemicals in the juice as the tank tube itself dissolves.

A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.

A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.

Rounds may last anywhere from 6 seconds to 36 hours based solely on our whim. There are no rules. Life is unfair. Good luck!

We call it a "reset" when we go into a new round. You still keep all of your previous picks. If you miss a round you do not get to back and make up picks. You can only make picks for the current round.

The game ends when the sheet is filled. We then announce the winning pick.

Theses aren't rules. They are guidance. And they may change at any time. Without prior notice. Maybe even without ensuing notice.



If you can't see the spreadsheet, here is a link to an alternate view of it. However, this view may be up to 5 minutes out of date, and you must refresh the page to see the most recent update.

I wasn't even thinking about the plastic tank issue. Lets hope its pyrex. Anyone who does diy, is there a way to figure out if its process of the tank being destroyed or just crystals from menthol added to the wintogreen flavor? I don't mess with wintogreen, but I've had the crystal thing happen with lots of 'mentholated' stuff. Annette from VV explained it, and I looked it up, so I wasnt worried after that.

But wait a sec... So are you saying the JUICE is dangerous, that he made from loranns, or the juice put into a plastic tank is dangerous cause it contains degraded plastic? Just curious. I have some organic wintogreen flavor I've never used. Wanna make sure its not toxic.
