How safe is it to vape, (Not a troll)

[Spencer87]

So, Not talking about General vaping.

I just popped some cinnamon in my glass clearomizer, which has a plastic covering, and some juice leaked out of the glass in to the plastic part. Happens all the time. But... Forgot this was REDHOT, (I loved it before, Now I dont really care for the taste....) Anyways, It got me thinking. If a Juice Can literally melt through Plastic, and make the plastic degrade within an hour or two, How safe is vaping it really? It honestly, Cannot really be safe? Can it? I mean for the Body? It melts PLASTIC!!!!

Second Question Part of My question.
Since the inner glass is not degraded, I assume I can still Vape with the tank right? Cuz I kinda got all my coils for this one (I have others, But, This is the best one... I mean, Should be okay, Until I get to a B&M in the Philippines this saturday right (Travelling there)

If your body was made out of plastic, then yeah you'd be in a world of hurt vaping those juices that crack tanks. Think about this... your body produces much more corrosive chemicals. The acid in your stomach will etch concrete, but is perfectly safe within your body in the area in was designed for.
The issue amounts to an incompatibility. Certain esters, keytones and acids just aren't compatible with the plastic (mostly polycarbonates) that a few manufactures decide to make their tanks out of.

However, the issue isn't the juice. The issue is the plastic. There are other chemicals that it's the opposite-they will eat through almost anything except plastic.

As for your tank, if it is not leaking I think you would be fine. Just wash it.

Also think about this... Freshly squeezed orange juice will also crack a plastic tank. It's a natural acid, not a highly deadly chemical.

If you think that's bad then consider that your stomach acid (pH 1.5-3.5) will eat metal at a rapid rate but doesn't affect your stomach lining? As mentioned above it is the chemical composition of the plastic that makes it susceptible to melting not the liquid.

Citrus oils will also melt poly. It's used as an industrial solvent, and considered environmentally safe. It also smells nice and can be consumed safely to a point. Eating too many bananas will kill you, peach pits contain cyanide, even things we all accept as safe and consume can be fatal. So, nothing is truly ever totally safe, there's always a degree of risk involved with anything. That being said, I think vaping is at least as safe as sky diving.

Yeah, and it can also give you a deviated septum. Ummm.... Oh, sorry my bad.

Is it really melting your tank? Or is there just a leak or flooding like 97% of the tanks on the market? Remember, you are also heating a fluid to the point where it becomes vapor. Hot things tend to wear on other things, especially plastic.

Ya no, we make a pretty good team you and me. Maybe we should take this act on the road. Do a few gigs, have a few laffs make a few bucks. Whadda, you say sweetheart?

it's making the plastic cloudy so the plastic is starting to melt or degrade...

Cinnamon will definitely do that, The hubby vapes cinna-bomb and yes it will strip paint off an old ego atimizor, ego battery, ( I learned that back in 2010..lol) And when we started back up this year, The CE5 my husband started on it clouded it right up, Now he strictly uses a PTmini.

As far as any side effects. He's been vaping for 2 1/2 months and no bad things yet, Just good. He smells like a hot ball....lol

Tank cracking, etching depends mostly on the plastic used to make the tank. I've been using genuine Vision Vivi-Nova top coil tanks since they were introduced about two years ago. Vaped lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit in them (yeah I love citrus) with absolutely no effect on the plastic, clear as the day they were bought.
