Melted clearomizer safe to use?

[Elizabeth]

This might seem like a silly question, but is it safe to continue using an evod clearomizer that was melted/warped from the juice I used? I stupidly filled it up with a pina colada sample I got, not realizing there was pineapple in it. I noticed the plastic getting wavy right away and dumped it and rinsed it really well. It doesn't leak or taste off, using different juice of course, but I don't know if the melting causes toxins to be release during subsequent use. No big deal to chuck it, but it's my favorite color!

The integrity of the material has been damaged... while I do not pretend to know what chemicals would have been released. Probably no big deal short term, but also probably a good idea to find a temp fix until you find your favorite color again.

If you melted your favorite coffee cup would you replace it?

I know exactly what you mean about it being your favorite color. I'm the same way.

Unfortunately, I can't help you. Personally I would continue to use it but I'm not saying it's the smart thing to do.

If you've cleaned it and it doesn't taste off you should be fine until you can replace it, just be careful storing it in case it decides to start leaking on you without warning. Generally once the solvent (in this case the flavoring originally used) is removed and the item in question is cleaned no further breakdown will occur on the chemical level and you only have to worry about structural integrity, especially if areas around rubber grommets or o-rings have warped.

I would toss it.

Pina = Pineapple . They are cheap to replace so I wouldn't risk it for longer then need be. Could easily damage your device or battery from leaking juices or short the atomizer.

It's going to break sooner or later. Toss it

When one of my vivis started to degrade I considered using it until my glass tank arrived, then changed my mind. It occurred to me that I didn't know if a by-product was being produced. Vinegar and chlorine bleach are fine by themselves, but mix them together and there's a problem.

I guess you need to replace it, but if it ain't leaking I would probably still use it (but I'm broke).

If you can replace it you probably should.

I have plenty of other ones to use, so I guess I'll just chuck it. No reason to risk my health any more than I already did smoking cigarettes for over 20 years - or ruin my batteries. Thanks everyone for the replies!

No way - bin it.
