Wow-I heard that cinnamon was a no-no-had no idea about the others. I just got a Liquinator and a JTank. Thanks very much for this post!
You want to see something really really bad....use cinnamon with the liquinator.....but be ready to buy a new liquinator. I bought 10 foot of polycarbonate to prepare for replacement tubes!
Granted, it would be nice to know what cracks the tanks, but a delicate, possibly useless tank problem still has to be addressed. As so many people like these tanks, how about simply replacing the super-clear tank with the softer, frosty plastic similar to that in the syringe mods. Maybe not quite as purdy, but what the hell. I'm not sure what type of plastic these two actually are, but instead of replacing it with more of the same type, is the other plastic available?
Anyone know the exact types of plastics to look for when buying replacement tubing?
I looked at the VA tanks before, cool that they offer them but they are clear about no warranty, variances, etc. They won't have chemical-related cracking, but I wonder about longevity due to basic mechanical stresses.
Hey folks, Just a heads up, there is One Tube that you can get for your tanks that WILL NOT CRACK with any juice, and that material is Pyrex. Pyrex tubing is laboratory quality and will not crack by putting a juice in it. The only person that I know carries them pre cut for their tanks is Jonah. I am not certain if they will fit other tanks like my MAP DCT but I am going to order one from Welcome to Vapor Age - Step out of the smoke.....http://www.vaporage.com and see if it does fit. I will report back when I do the test on it in a few weeks.

Edited to Add: Crud, Out of Stock on the Pyrex, so when he does get some more pyrex tubes made I will order some and give it a shot and get back to everyone.

I feel the same way.
I'll be looking forward to your opinion on these.
Interesting, never seen or heard of this. What exactly happens? Are we talking a lil dripping after crack or a mini explosion of sorts where juice gets all over?
