Hello, I just ordered my first starter kit from cighub, went with the Ego O (lcd) which comes with the clearomizer. I also Ordered the Kretek juice from Tasty Vapor.
I have read several reviews about Kretek/clove juices cracking clearomizers.
So here is my question. Anyone here have this issue, and if so, how long did the clearomizer last before this happened??
Being on a tight budget, I'm curious how long I have before I will need to purchase a better clearomizer, or look into other options.
Thanks in advance!

Hi

Clove is known tank cracker, but how long a tank will survive is difficult to predict. There factors like the recipe, extra flavor shots, how long it's the tank, etc. that have an impact on the outcome. You may find something here of interest:

You know, I dont know about clove, but I do know anything with citric acid in it can cause problems. Think Orange/lemon/tart cherry favors,etc. I got an awesome flavor from high brow called Orange De Sangre and it make my mini vivi nova start peeling on the inside after a few hours. I noticed it and put the juice back in the bottle. I love the juice, so I am just going to order a glass tank. You can get different juice for cheap. Try mtbaker vapors.

I have been using a Kanger T3 bottom Coil eGo Clearomizer, with clove from DFW Vapor. been about 4 weeks I see no ill effects what so ever.

I was thinking about trying those as well. Seems like every flavor I want to try are known tank killers so I'm looking for proven devices.

My only issue with the protank (other than being a bit large for an ego) is the likelyhood of it falling out of my pocket at work and landing on the concrete.. Glass and sudden stops while interacting with hard surfaces do not mix... :unsure:
