I hope they stay okay! My snickerdoodle has been in the stardust for about 4 days me just refiling several times with no problems. Same with the Strawberry Shortcake in the Phoenix.
Two things: Is TPA a brand name or an ingredient? And how about having the list sorted by brand/vendor. That way if I shop by say Mountain Oak, I can browse the list and see if there is a certain flavor to avoid as I'm sure this list will continue to grow and become a bit cumbersome trying to find a particular flavor from a vendor.
TPA stands for The Perfumer's Apprentice. They make flavoring for folks who diy their juice.
Well, the list started out small.
I agree that it has gotten too long to easily navigate. I do plan on organizing it, but it's hard to find the time.

Just a thought I am having. If a juice attacks plastic or melts plastic, what is it doing to us when we vape it?? My tobacco flavors never attack the plastic but cinnamon sure does and I see alot on this forum about many other flavors. I know alcohol will not melt plastic but toluene and nail polish remover will, and from what I know just breathing the fumes from chemicals that melt plastic is bad for you. Just wondering what some of the flavored E-Juice might be doing to us. Just a thought.
Well, I'm not a doctor, nor a chemist. I will say that some types of substances are not safe to store in all types of containers. Plastic is no different and there is a wide variety of plastics. Polycarbonate (the most common tank material) is just not compatible with whatever the ingredient in that flavor is. There's many other types of plastic that would not interact with the same flavor ingredients. Polypropylene is one such plastic that is also a food grade plastic. There's many other plastic types that aren't food safe that would (I'm sure) be fine as well.
I've never seen a tank (of any type) "melted" by a flavor, cracks? leaks? yes.
Likewise I've heard rumors of O-rings and grommets "melting". I've never seen such a thing happen, and I would have to wonder what material it was made from.
I read this and I didn't want to believe it...but yeah...you speak the truth. I found out first hand.
One that has melted (frosted) the plastic, is the star dust or vision ego clearomizer and cinnamon e-juice. It also softed the plastic mouth piece so much so that I could hardly unscrew it and get it out. This took about 2 weeks with the e-juice setting in it.
I was brought here after explaining my problem over at the newbie section:

Mine did melt. >_<
You can add mtbakervapor's Black Licorice to the list, It clouded one of my stardust's in about 3 min and started melting the tip I unscrewed it after noticing the cloudiness and rubbed the tip on the inside of the stardust and it left a black streak tried to rub the tip on a paper towel and it seamed that it got glued to the paper towel.
I'm adding RY4 Double and Rootbeer (both TPA) to the list.
Both of this melts my V2 clearomizer.

Haven't read through the whole thread, but I am seeing issues with Vape Dudes lemonade. I had it for a few days in a clear 1.7 Smoktech Resurrector, and today I noticed some cracking of the tube. Not sure what kind of plastic it is, but I wouldn't trust it in a tank or Stardust. It is delicious though...
Thanks all for your contributions. I will be adding these new ones to the list soon, and I am hoping to get it more organized as well, by separating diy flavorings and various vendors, also by alphabetizing. Never thought it would grow like this. I hope it has been useful to lots of folks.
I really have to wonder what materials these manufacturers are using... from my reading up on stuff before I started making tanks, I never saw anything that would indicate a flavor could melt polycarb. Plenty can haze and crack them though (as evidenced by the growing list here) Makes me wonder if they're actually using a type of nylon or something, but all I can do is guess.
I have had 2 clearomizers crack. One using V2Cics Menthol and one using V4L WOW Peppermint Nobaccojuice. The peppermint cracked it in 2 hours but the menthol lasted a week before cracking.
Something does not make any sense to me. Perhaps someone can explain.
Don't most of these "damaging liquids" come in some sort of plastic container? All of the ones I have received do. I know some vendors have a glass bottle option. I've yet to see a plastic e-liquid bottle crack, discolor, melt, etc. Has anyone else?
I'm new to vaping, have a j-tank on the way. I've been using an EGo-C setup and the little plastic cartridges that come in the kit have not shown any signs of cracking. Sure a bit of minor leaks around the snap-on cap occasionally, but no cracking.
With that said, it seems this chemical reaction or tank cracking may be do to the heat generated by the cartomizer.
Just a thought.
Can anyone comment on this?

Wow thats strange. Ive been messing with my computer for hours updating, scanning, and changing settings. When I logged on I was signed out of ECF and it said that the post above was from yesterday at 10:27pm. So I logged in and it says today 5:24pm. I guess it was the default time zone?
I have had Cola flavor juices cause trouble. I use Juicy Vapor's Vanilla Cola, put it into a gotvapes vision at night, used it a little, and woke up in the morning with an empty vision and juice all over my mod and tv stand. I heard it was the acidity in the cola flavor. It also doesn't play very well in cartos.
