HELP! What did I do wrong?

[Spencer87]

K, So I wanted to try the cinnamon juice out.... from Killer juice... And I put some in My Cubica cartomizer. And I vaped. and it was the most delicious thing i have ever tasted in my life.... like ever.... I chain vaped that .... like a ....... I sat there and took a puff and another, instead of breathing vaped..... It was SOOO good


But I only put a bit in, and my wicks were a bit damp. so i wasnt getting anything out of the juice. and so I held the button down without drawing... and i did that for a few seconds. And then i was able to get vape. And then i pretty much smoked it almost dry.

And then went to wash. and it got... crusty... like this film.... that looks caked on, that ive managed to get a bit off by scraping.... its a white film. How can it be cleaned... was it from holding the button down, vaping too close to empty, not drying off well enough, or just the juice...?

I dont know!!!

 

[Spencer87]

Mainly I just wanna know if its the Juice... And what i did wrong, so i dont make the mistake with the new vape gear i just got today

A white film on what? Cartomizer or clearimizer? Cinnamon eats plastic. If it was in a plastic tank, the juice is eating the plastic. I'm totally lost on the holding button down without drawing thing.

 

[SleeZy]

Is the tank made of out of plastic?
Cinnamon flavours melts/cracks plastics.

It sounds like it when you talk abit this white film.

I'm with Asbestos and SleeZy up there ^. A cursory google search didn't tell me whether the Cubica cartomizer is plastic or not, but I'm guessing it is and cinnamon juice is known to be a tank-cracker/ reactive with plastic. I'd advise getting a setup with a glass tank if you want to keep using this favor.

Is halo tank plastic

 

[Baditude]

Is halo tank plastic

Yes it is. Polycarbonate plastic. If a plastic tank is clear, 99% sure it is polycarbonate. Polypropylene plastic has a frosted appearance; this is what medical syringes is made of, and this plastic is immune to the effects of cinnamon and citrus flavors.

Something Safe for Cinnamon & Citrus Flavors

Great. I found a great vape. It tasted excellent. And now I can't vape it.. back to the drawing board.

So everyone is sure that that's what happened.... like I got a thick kinda film on the inside that I gotta scrape off

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Im sure, like others have said some flavorings degrade / crack / haze / etch / ruin plastics.
You can vape it using glass or metal tanks, standard metal body cartomizers, drip attys or any delivery device except those with clear to clearish plastic parts.

 

[DavidOck]

No, scraping off is not an option. The inside of the tank has been etched and degraded by your flavor. You need to move to a pyrex topper or change flavors.

You don't say what battery you're using, but if it has ego / 510 threads, you do have a lot of options.

 

[tyancey00]

just get a pro tank. I use cinnamon all the time. they have a glass tank and it is not affected...

 

[Spencer87]

Do you mean I can't scrape it off....because I did...got a good bit off.

That was probably part of your tank you scraped off, and now it won't have quite the same structural integrity, if I'm understanding what's gone on correctly.

ETA--> What I mean is that the juice probably dissolved some of the plastic, which has re-hardened as that stuff you're scraping off.

 

[Spencer87]

Yea, that's what happened, touched a piece, it definitely feels like plastic

 

[DavidOck]

Well, while you can scrape it off, putting the same flavor back in will make it happen again. And no matter how much you do scrape off, it's likely to still taste like vaping plastic. Not something I want to inhale...

I pretty much switched over to all pyrex tanks so that I don't have to worry. They are only a little more expensive and last better/longer. I use Aspire BCD ES tanks that are pyrex on my small batteries. The glass is enclosed, so the tanks are not as fragile as all glass ones.

I'm doing halo. They are brand locked. Gotta do all halo products. It's a shame. It was so delicious. Ah Well, I'll probably end up spending more money on a mod or something so I can vape it. Lol my excuse. Only flavor I liked more than anything. In the world kringles curse with chocolate is alright.... Tribeca isn't my cup of tea. But Omgoodness cinnamon was glorious. It's a shame

You can get an itaste vv3 for around $35 or less (google) and then can use any 510 tank on it. It is a good step up. For a little more, you can get an itaste MVP, which everyone seems love. I also started with Halo and didn't like being "trapped." Here are links to both on ebay--sometimes with the free shipping, ebay is cheaper and if you buy from a vendor with a good positive rating, they are great.

Halo isn't brand locked, but you might need an adapter to fit different kinds of tanks.

Drop by the Halo forum and ask about, plenty of people there use Triton batteries with different tanks.

you could get a glass tank or sorts or even rock a carto tank or plain carto if you want to use the juice you love
