Juice cracking tanks

[bgibs1]

Ok I was on Mt Baker to try and find some new flavs and started reading about all the flavs that will crack the tank. Most of the ones I wanted were on that list too which sucked. But I was wondering why or how does it crack a tank? I know Im new at this but juice just sitting in a tank shouldn't crack it should it? Can somebody fill me in or point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Plastic tanks crack due to a chemical reaction with the juice. Certain acids (e.g., citrus) react with the plastic and degrade it. This is a known issue with any plastic product, not just vaping tanks.

Glass tanks, however, do not react with the juice and won't degrade (crack or melt).

Your best solution is to pick up a glass tank such as the Kanger protank (mini or full size). They're not that expensive, are generally mor durable, and won't react with the tank cracking juices.

if you use kanger protanks and/or kayfun tanks you can use any juice without worry. protanks are pyrex. kayfuns are stainless steel.

Thanks Papa! That makes sense, I wasn"t thinking of the acidity factor.
