I it ok to fill a few clearos if I won't use them immediately. I witch between flavors so one tank might take a few days to finish. I anted to go ahead and out my favorites in a few clearos and change them out over the next few days or so.

wanted to check to make sure they would be ok with juice just sitting in them if I don't use them ASAP.

thanks for the feedback

I've left clearos full for quite an extended time unused.

As long as the juice isn't caustic to the polycarbonate plastic, I don't think there is any issue with it.

The liquid may get exposed to an unnecessary amount of light and/or air depending on where/how its stored, which could oxidize the nic and/or flavorings (giving an off flavor & lower potency).

I am also filling a clearamizer with each flavor and do not expect to go thru them daily or anything probably not going to be any longer than a week before refilling, should I be keeping them in the dark?

Is there a way to tell if the juice is going to affect the plastic?

Do the open bottles need to Refrigerated?

I've found that as long as it isn't direct sun light, your good. So maybe a carrying case, small box, drawer, etc. I used to keep mine just off to the side in my closet in a tupperware with no noticeable effect. Now they stay in my 'gear' toolbox or in my carrying case.

If it has citric acid or cinnamon in it, there is a good chance it'll effect the polycarbonate. For these its best to use glass, metal or polypropylene tanks. There is a thread around here somewhere I'll see if I can't find it. edit: here it is http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...uices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos-2.html

Some store 'em in the fridge, some don't. I generally get through them pretty quickly so I don't bother, but if I were going for long term storage (months) I would go straight to the freezer.

I was thinking the newer stardust and viva novas were made of stronger plastic and should be fine to use juices like cinnamon in them....I might need to go back and do some more studying :)

No, they aren't. Check out my blog about plastic and juices: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/the-ocelot/3786-eeekkk-its-melting.html

ETA: You have to read the fine print: New reformulated tube on the newest version of Stardusts, stronger and virtually impervious to juice leeching. (from gotvapes)

"virtually impervious"...Definition of VIRTUALLY: almost entirely, nearly

and if their spelling is correct, the plastic is virtually impervious to blood-sucking worms.
