Yeah... I run Pluid in a Penelope with the stock
stainless tank. Other juices in Penelope #2 and my Kir Fanis clears and his PenelopeFatty tanks for the cracking reasons you mentioned. Wish I could run Pluid in a clear when the Ithaka shows up! Love to know.

So, they are no problem with the GG stock clear and the Kir Fanis tanks? That is good to know. Ive been avoiding putting my DIY orange/clove in my Odys. I just dont want to harm them, especially since parts are so hard to replace.

From what I know, Pluid is one of the most acidic/citrus , anise based juice out there. A notorious tank cracker. I dont know if Imeos special plastic manufacturers have tested with that. All I know is that I made a recent batch of my usual light orange 50/50 juice, Ive used it in my Kir fanis tanks before, but this time I made it a bit stronger than usual. I filled one of my Kirs and over night, it cracked and leaked all over.

All I know is that the Pluid is much more acidic

Maybe a Pluid fan can send Imeo a small bottle to sample and test in the Ithaka tank just to be sure.:)

WOW, I'm not sure that I want to vape something that cracks glass!

In my opinion they shouldn't cause hot spot may occur.

that's what I thought, but I believe Imeo said in the video they can touch. I know there was a big discussion about it, but I'm still curious as some people were saying it's ok and some were saying no.

The only problem with pluid is that if you want to change liquid is tooooo difficult.

I change to other anise based flavors all the time in my Ody's no problem. But yeah, changing it to a totally different flavor doesn't work too well. Although, rebuilding is so easy, just pop a new one in, and you're good to go.

I guess different people have different skill levels, I had not had too much experience other than Vivi Novas and the steam machine before, and I found that the Odysseus was so easy to put together. It was a dream for me. Great performance and such a quick rebuild compared to all the other atomizers I tried before.

Once a week I get my wires all set up. I cut about enough NR and R wire to the size I need , I then do all my twisting during the evening. I have about 40 wires at all times ready for use. I also have 4 extra rebuildable units always setup so when I have one that is really worn and dirty I just pop in a new one. Dry cleaning is also such a breeze.

I have 2 Odys at use all the time, and I have an extra base so I can have that for when I dry burn. I like being prepared. Most of my juice is NET so I have to clean my wick/coil after a tankful.

Im trying not to be a "collector" I already have a room full of odds and ends that Ive collected throughout my life and then all the odd things I bought as photographic subjects in my bedroom/ studio such as toys, glass ware, old broken dolls, bones, insects ( mostly specimens, but did end up with a scorpion and a tarantula) guns etc.

I have 2 non-GG PVs, the Odys, a few cartos and lots of carto tanks. I have another special non-GG PV coming soon. It did for me what the GG PV just doesnt do for me. I will get Achilles and most likely the Achilles tank. I have way too many drip tips( my weakness)

Im know there are going to be a lot of critics saying "why dont I have a GGTS or Stealth" but though I know its beautiful and its the height of form and function, it just doesn't stop my heart.

Its like me and cars, though I would love to have many cars, lets say a 1960s ferrari , Id say I love it, but what stops my heart and makes me weak in the knees , honestly would be a 1966-68 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia . Its been my love since I was a little girl and watched Get Smart.

So how do we get rid of the Pluid. Ive cleaned my Pene twice and still the new juice taste not right. Is there a trick. I almost dont use my Pene anymore because of it. Eventually I will take the time to figure a way but I have so much other stuff I havent bothered. If there is a simple and safe trick Im all in :)

Well maybe you can soak it apart into anhot milk for 10 minutes.
Then put it under water and soak it again into hot water with lemon juice and some soda for an hour.
