Hey mates!
If you hadn't heard, a guy on youtube posted a video of the insulator on the subtanks rta module (not the coils) slowly being dissolved by his pluid eliquid:

Long story short, the insulator was having issues with at least one caustic eliquid., and while pluid is known to dissolve o-rings and delrin drip tips, people were concerned about what might be going on with less-caustic, yet still pretty-caustic eliquids.
I contacted Kanger about it, and got this back this evening:
So, looks like in a bit the new tanks will come with a PEEK insulator, and you can get a replacement in the mail if you already picked one up. I'll admit I'm surprised they spent the money on PEEK, as delrin in $70+ RTAs isn't exactly rare.
*gives the horns*

KangerTechUS said:Thank you for letting us know. We apologize for the inconvenience the product has caused you. Some types of harsh eliquid can damage the insulator of the original piece, but we now have a new version that will be able to withstand these eliquids. Could you please provide us with your product’s ID number, authenticity number, and store information? KangerTech HQ in China has just developed the new insulators made of PEEK, so we hope to receive them by the end of this week or early next week. Please also confirm your full name and mailing address.
