That is a great tip! This is the first flavor I have ever dealt with that did this to my syringes but I will defiantly be doing as you said in the future. Thanks.
I love Bananas and I ordered TPA ripe banana flavor. I would like some banana recipes.

yes great tip, i did notice that its the rubber that gets jammed on the aggressive tank crackers. been lubing the plungers with pg, but hadnt done the air barrier trick, gotta try that air thing and switch to vg for lube. I just cant wait to get around to ordering a decent digital scale so I can finally say goodbye to syringe hassles. Its the only way to fly imho.
Anyway, it makes me wonder if theres an issue to worry about in regard to whether or not using glass dropper bottles is really the best option for storing and despensing tank cracker juices. These bottles have a rubber bulb and cap seal, most of the amber glass bottles have black rubber similar to the syringe plungers and some (the cobalt blue ones) have a white rubber bulb/seal. I'm thinking the white rubber would probably be a better choice but have very mixed feelings about whether or not these aggressive juices are leeching anything out of this rubber. Obviously the mixed juices arent anywhere near as aggressive as the flavor concentrates, but aggressive enough to attack some plastics.
So the big quandry being... maybe there's less chance of having anything leech into the juice if we just stick with the standard poly plastic squeeze bottles with the narrow poly eyedropper tips.
I suppose the best way for the extra paranoid approach is to store in glass with a (dry) polycone cap instead of the eyedropper cap, and dispense with a glass dropper. Not very practical in practice obviously.

I love TPA Ripe Banana and as it was one of my first DIY experiments I have a lot of glass here by now 
Using a Protank for my 50/50 mix with 12% Ripe Banana and that's ok but it's killing my coils real quick and before it 'dies' I get this awful sharp kind of alcoholic taste. Best thing probably is to build my own coils for it but not ready for that yet
Now I was thinking of trying to put it in a cartomizer or carto (glass) tank. I read here someone is using it in a carto (lower percentage though) but I am not sure of what the material of the filling of a carto is? Do you think I can use it in a carto(tank) without problems?

Ok thanks I will try that again but I recall I made the first sample at 5% and thought it tasted more like a not ripe banana and like it tasted a bit like the peel of the banana but maybe I should let it steep for a bit longer.
