Hello all, evod problems after 3 week use

[Terry1230]

Hello all,
I recently purchased a kanger evod starter kit and after 3 weeks of vaping I am noticing cracks in the tanks. The place I bought the ejuice from says
there juice won't harm/crack tanks. I have never dropped them but, I do clean them every 3-4 days with luke warm water, give them a quick rince with Iso alcohol 70%, warm water again, then let air dry overnight. Could the Iso alcohol be causing the issue, or is it more likely the ejuice?

ry4 double, fresh strawberry, nice & smooth tobaco, watermelon - flavors that I have been using

Hi

This is quite normal, actually. All of my original EVOD clearos (I bought 5 colours) have developed these cracks.

I guess I never came to any conclusion about tank cracking liquids, because none of my other tanks cracked using my preferred flavours (tobacco, citrus). Citrus is well known for problems, but most UK citrus e-juice is lame and if it didn't crack Vivi Novas and Kanger T3S, then it seems unlikely.

I bought some eVo (Halo) Lime (Limelight) 3 weeks ago... that had only ever gone in glass.

Go to glass... it's worth it long run.

Those look like the type of cracks caused by juice, I don't think alcohol would be the cause.
I've no experience of those particular juices but you might find them here......

I really like these evod's, but from what I've read allot of people have problems with cracks. I did buy a protank 2 mini glass, but it seems to go through more juice (1.8ohm came with the protank 2 mini instead of 2.2ohm that came with evod), and feels a bit too top heavy for the evod 650mah standard batteries. Also these aren't leaking yet so I'm still using them

I hah the same problem at first I thought it was the atty leaking because it would come out the air holes. I changed that it still leaked. I switched to an aspire BDC and have had no problems. Using the same juices as before.

how are the dual coils on these small units? it seems allot of shops my way are selling more of them then the single

If you don't mind the wait for these to arrive from China try the RGM2 glass tanks. They are a great inexpensive alternative to the plastic evod tanks and use the same coils.

They also come in 6 colors. I have been using them for over a year.

intresting i learn something new every day

Those RGM2 glass tanks look pretty good, and a plus if they use the same coils from the evod's (I bought an extra 5 on top of the 5 that come with the started kits).

 

[westhc]

Give the RGM2 a try. It is a basic tank, nothing fancy. It does use the same coils as the Kanger evod - easy to rebuild if you decide you want to try. Do a forum search for RGM2 and read what others have to say. And you do not have to worry if a juice will crack the tank. A typical order from fasttech.com takes 2-3 weeks from China to west coast California.

I don't like them, no.

I prefer v1 and v2 Protanks (mini, mostly) to v3 and the latest evod glass etc.

A 1.8ohm will use a little more liquid than a 2.2ohm. That is true.

Ya for the price can't go wrong

What ohms give the best flavor for these small batteries?

What ohms give the best flavor for these small batteries?

The one that makes the most vapour without burning, so almost certainly the 1.8ohm single coils.

The 1.5 dual ohm coils seem good on paper but rarely deliver. Not on a basic eGo anyway.

I've used a bundle of EVOD tanks. I only had one crack, and I'm not completely sure it was related to the juice, but I'll never say never. I would often soak them in vodka as part of cleaning them out.

I build my coils to about 1.7-2.0 ohms for these (well, the EVODs are retired now, as I'm using a bunch of PT2s, but they use the same coils) Run about 9W most of the time - pretty happy for *ME*

I didn't care for dual coils on my early batteries (Spinners and VV3s.) They just seemed to suck the battery down too quickly.

 

[Grimwald]

I only use unflavored liquid, but I still get an occasional crack in my plastic Evod tanks. (like 2-3 tanks in the last year or so) I agree that the PT2 mini is top heavy on an ego battery, and they don't seem to hold as much liquid as the Evod...thus they don't last as long between refills. I still like the glass better, however. The replacement coils are the same, so you can use the 2.2 ohm coils on the PT2 mini.

 

[Terry1230]

Thanks very much for the input guys/gals!! It's very much appreciated.

 

[Terry1230]

For what its worth, just got an email back from the supplier saying that "Unfortunately, when cleaning the tank with Iso is what will have cause the cracking. The Iso will eat away at the plastic over time. The tanks should only be cleaned with warm water. ". But I highly Doubt they would admit that their juice cracks tanks...

I seen a video earlier today on youtube that was talking aobut the "plastic" type tanks are prone to cracking due to citrus based juices. I would be interested to know if that is actually the case.
