Let's make a list of juices/flavors that crack tanks, ce2's/clearos...

I forgot about this thread. My list is available here: flavor warning list.

Again - If you stumble over some flavor that should be on the list, feel free to notify me

Nice work!

Just tried some Enchanted E-cigs Black Cherry Cola. Cracked EVOD clearomizer in less than 5 minutes. At least EVODs are cheap. Not sure must be the Cola in it. Popped the top and will let it steep till I get another glass tank. They also have disclaimer that says use caution with plastic tanks so I can't say I wasn't warned.

So this just happened. I'm a novice vaper, so maybe I did something wrong, or maybe this is a knock off Vivi Nova. Filled with Truth Serum and 30 minutes later it crumbled.

These lists confuse me. A year ago I bought pineapple and wintergreen concentrated flavoring and bought premixed juices containing them. Then I read a list that included both of these as corrosive/cracking dangerous when I was only using cartomizers so didn't give it much thought. Then I started using various clearos and refrained from using them based on these lists. Now I'm wondering why, a year later, they still show NO corrosion or cracking in the plastic bottles they're sold in and still sit in. Answer anyone?

Different type of plastic. Tanks typically come in polycarbonate which is more brittle and prone to leaching/cracking than a more flexible pet type plastic used for foods/oils/meds.

Organic Strawberry Lime Cooler E-liquid | Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette Organic e-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes

This e-juice flavor wont crack or melt plastic, but it will permanently stain your tank brown!

I haven't been able to see any reports regarding Capella's flavors. Would anyone know if any of Capella's flavors would crack a plastic tank? Has this happened to any of my fellow Vapers?

Just making a note in here so that I can reference back to this page [page 40]


I'm considering getting into glass tanks to avoid all of this all together. But I am very clumsy and I've dropped my devices many times. I tend to like the weight reduction with using plastic, but now I know that I probably need to upgrade as I like most of these flavors listed outside of my tobacco range.

I would really like to see a list of 'suspect' liquids that DON'T crack tanks.

I know right. I was thinking the same thing. Are there any left that are not on that list? (Rhetorical question)

I was only expecting to see one or two.

 

[misplacedsooner]

i read on the first page that mrs ts strawberry shortcake cracks poly tanks and this is 100% false. i used it and only it for a year solid in poly or plastic tanks and it never melted, discolored or cracked any of my tanks.

I've vaped many juices with a triacetin carrier in a plastic tank without any issues.

Good thread

 

[jelligyrl]

thanks for this information. great to know and appreciate the time that went into this.

Vanilla Custard from Gremlin juice did fine in the 2 weeks I had it in my iclear 30 but when I moved it to one of my CE5's, it cracked within 24 hours. Not sure why, maybe the 30 is tougher?

I have had a similar problem with cinamon red hots flavor in pg from tpa. I think this is what you are talking about anyway. Am I right? (see attached pics)



This including the pitting on the stem happened in a 24 hour period. The black plastic turned soft and slimy the tank just has the gooey white film that hardened in water

<edit for more info>

(I think I found the problem if anyone is interested...)

fireball liquid
Question: How does the fireball e-juice destroy the plastic tanks? It comes in a plastic bottle. What's the ingredients in that vape juice that causes this to happen. I know when i make my own. I use a mix of 30/70 pg/vg plus flavor. And none of the flavors i make have ever destroyed a tank. so what is the content in the flavor that causes this ?

Fireball
Fireball liquid contains cinnamaldehyde, the essential oil which gives cinnamon its unique taste. This oil attacks certain plastics, although it does not react with our plastic bottles, which are made of LDPE. Nevertheless, it will crack most of the hard, clear plastics that tanks are made from, including polycarbonate.

Our M7 Pro Tanks are made of steel and pyrex glass, which will not react with the Fireball liquid. It's a great solution for the Fireball fans out there.

Here's some more info on cinnamaldehyde for those who're interested:

Well interesting development at least for me hopefully for you to.

I shook my juice and it turned white like it has since I made it. White as milk. Then I added nicotine in a pg base and shook and wonder of wonders it instantly turned clear with a yellowish tint like the nicotine had instantly aged?

Anyone know why this happened? Obviously some sort of chemical reaction but...

will it reduce the potency of the nicotine in the juice?
did it make toxic chemicals from the cinnamaldehyde and nicotine in that reaction??
What just happened?
Very strange!!!
Will it still eat plastic?

Here is an interesting thread I started about TPA red hots flavor
