Well, I have confirmed my suspicions about what this juice was capable of.
First victim my liquinator, then "mysteriously" a drip tip started to get all gunk up inside, and it broke yesterday, and now my jonboy tank, but this time I ordered a spare :)

Will attach pictures, but I noticed the tank frosting up, but the light haze became a really dense haze, so I took it apart to clean it, then the caps were starting to show the same signs the drip tip had, and the tank .... oh man, it was already eating the tank.

Top and bottom of the tank remain clear, so I thought I might be able to scrape the haze from the tank, grab an xacto knife and the clear parts are still hard, but the part attacked by the juice is so soft that I'm able to make cuts on the inside with that blade.

Not sure if I'm gonna still vaping this RAGE juice, I love it, but I'm not sure it's good to inhale that after I saw what it can made to polycarbonate :) and not sure what materials the caps are made off, but it was starting to make a dent on them too.

That's crazy. I would stop using that immediately, if not sooner. I've run all kinds of juice (cinnamon, oily, both) through my jonboy's with no issues whatsoever.

Where's my customer service rep???? The Magenta Bliss on the purple Buzz is a 3ml tank. Strprswpr has posted a link to slotted/punched cartos a few pages back. They are extremely easy to change cartos, no tools at all are needed. Just slide the old carto out of the bottom cap and slide a new one in. Put the tube on fill it up and vape away. The top caps have a positive stop in them, so you can also fill them from the bottom while the carto is inserted into the top cap. Strprswpr has a video posted on how this is done.


Sorry, I had to sleep.....But I'm back now.

I'm new to carto tanks so although I've been reading through all the advice in this entire thread, I still goofed on my first fill. Jason from e-cig-city, a local vendor for me in southern cali, helped me fill it proper yesterday. I must say, carto tanks are the way to go. If you're having trouble, don't give up, try to find someone to help if needed. The end result is great, I got exactly what I wanted: not having to top off my carto every 15 minutes. Big props to Jonboy for making some solid eyecandy that vapes great.

Oh and if you're not using strprswpr's fill method, you can actually fill the carto first before putting it in the tank, even tho they have holes in them. It surprisingly doesn't get messy if done right. Well maybe you can with his method too. And yea those boge 3 ohm are good on 5v.

Thanks for stopping in everyone. I can't stay and play tonight. I have a multi year class reunion to attend. I'll get back to all the PM's in the morning. (Hopefully my head won't hurt too bad). I'm happy that everyone is enjoying these tanks. They are really a treat for me to make too. I work on machine parts and mechanical assemblies all day. It's nice to come home and make something that's beautiful for a change.

I'm gonna make a recommendation. I found that using slotted cartos does a little damage to the inside o-ring on the bottom cap. I'm gonna do a video tonight with a updated fill method that will solve this problem. I also found that using the pucnhed or dotted cartos are much friendlier to the o-ring. It seems that if there is a burr left on the carto it will damage the oring when you slide it over the slot. You might wanna make sure the slotted carto is smooth before you put the bottom cap on.

I've got a piece of material coming that's called liquid metal. I'm curious to see how it looks. This is the first I haven't picked out material in person.

That would probably be enough to get me finally order from you. I just got a black and SS Saber Touch, and if the liqud metal looks anything like I'm picturing, that would be a great combo. I'll keep my eyes out for pics of it.
