I haven't had a coffee flavor crack a tank yet. In fact, I've never cracked a tank using any flavor and I've been using the Stardust type clearos. I did just get one mini Protank and am liking it a lot so I'm going to switch over to those on my Egos. I've had my Halo sitting around for over 2 months, though I didn't steep it. I got hooked on Mudslide and couldn't stop vaping it so all my other juices have been sitting around for a while. I'm only now getting a chance to try them.

I only use Morning Vape in my metal mini vivi novas. I think most coffees are tank crackers. They are dark juices. On the Halo juice, my second juice ever was Halo's Shamrock, which is a chocolate mint. At first it was all mint. A week later, the chocolate was there, especially at around 4.2-4.8 volts. Don't give up on it yet. Halo's flavors are complex and take a bit to meld together.

Your pkg. from my house was sent out this morning. They said you'll have it on Monday...hope it does arrive by then for you!!

I feel your pain. At least somewhat. For some reason the USPS has decided to start routing EVERYTHING to me through Fort Worth, and they hold on to it for an extra day or two before they send it on. So my MBV orders that used to take 2 days door to door now take 4 and sometimes 5 days to reach me. I may or may not have my juices tomorrow and I am running scary low.

We can start a club. I haven't cracked a tank yet. But then I'm probably not going to since I'm moving to glass tanks. :)
you guys talk a lot about "tank crackers" here. what kind of tanks are u speaking of? cause i use kanger T3's almost exclusively and have never had one crack from any of the dozens of juices i have put in them. am i just lucky or what? :unsure: i hate to be left out of the cracked club!

Well, I'm really batting 0 with some of my juices that I thought I would love.

Got Udderly Nuts 3 weeks ago. Just tried it and it is straight up butter vape...and slightly sweet. Ugh, I can't stand it.
Tried Cinnamon Bun, also steeped 3 weeks, and all I get is some cinnamon with a yeasty taste..not even sweet and I got 2 shots.
Peanut butter cup is not great - not horrible but it doesn't taste anything close to the real thing.
Berry Creamy is ok, not as rich as Boo Moo but that might be because I got it in 0 nic?

I still have not tried the tiramisu and banana cream pie so I really hope they don't disappoint. I also have not tried mixing the whipped cream with my caramel coffee yet.

Hawksauce for me is grapey watermelon thats got a little tangy. I get no mint or menthol coolness as I have seen mentioned here and elsewhere. To me it tastes nothing like a sweet tart or the sweet tart juice I have. I get a lip gloss flavor from it that has kept me from really enjoying it

Okay, you're freaking me out now. Maybe our tastebuds were switched at birth? :laugh:

That is almost EXACTLY how I would describe Thug Juice. (Except for the mint part. TJ is *very* minty.)

I'm a chain vaper too and my 2 1300 Vision Spinners have stood up for me great for going on 4 months!! I usually change them out once a day charge wise...sometimes 2, but it's no bother at all. Very happy with them from day 1!!




If you want to stick with a stick style batt, you could try the Vision Spinner with the 1300mah batt. I gave mine to my wife, and even though she isn't a heavy vaper it seems to really last. I only charge it up 2 or 3 times a week.

I'm a chain vaper and mostly use my iTaste MVP. With it's 2600mah batt, I get about 3 days on a charge. Plus, you can charge your cell phone with it!

If Cinnamon Roll is too cinnamony, maybe try Sticky Bun? It is FABULOUS. One of my ADV's until I let myself run out.

What ratio are your juices? VG has absolutely no sweetness for me by itself. I don't think 0 nic would have anything to do with lack of sweetness. Perhaps it does affect the richness though. I haven't bought any 0 nic in a while, but I do recall that it wasn't nearly as hard hitting as it's nicotine-rich counterpart.

Maybe let them steep for another week? I haven't tried any of those, so I'm probably not terribly helpful. I'm sorry you're having a bad time. : (

I use EVODs pretty much exclusively, and have only had 1 tank crack, and oddly enough it was from a juice that is not a "known tank perpetrator"....it was from MBV's Toasted Marshmallow, of all things. I think that you are lucky, the same juice in the same tanks seem to crack some, and not crack others.

....and Kelli, nice avi.....like a dragon!


Hrm....I use Evods and iClears exclusively and I've never had a tank crack at all. Definitely an unsettling prospect though. Stinks, too, because there are a handful of known tank crackers that I'd really like to try.

my last MVB order, i ordered several flavors i had already tried and liked, and a few new ones to try... only this time, i ordered one flavor shot on everything.

the flavors i liked previously had changed, definitely different. im thinking of that DIY tool, where you have to specify which flavor gets a boost. of course with complex flavors, if you boost one and not the other, the overall taste is going to change.

im getting used to the stuff i ordered (i have little choice), but i reordered my favorites with no flavor shots this time. cant wait to see if i will get consistency with the flavors i know and love. if so, big bottles here i come.

kinda unfortunately, one of the ones that was a new flavor (with 1 shot) was graham cracker, and it tastes nothing like a graham cracker to me. it may be due to the extra shot, but now im hesitant to reorder with no shots, since im not wild about what i got. its okay... just not so easily identifiable.

i did get johnny chimpo, and i like it! good morning vape for me.
also tried sticky bun, its like cinnamon roll with less cinnamon. i like. i probably prefer cinnamon roll.
swedish fish is a no go, unfortunately =D kinda pithy, bitter fruit. steeped caps off for 2 days with some improvement.
kahlua isnt bad, evening vape. funny, im not 100% sure i know what real kahlua tastes like =D the vape is almost almondy.
got black clove as a freebie, again. i will now start requesting flavors for samples, i hope they dont mind. =)

even the worst flavors from MVB are 100% better than anything else ive tried elsewhere. thanks MVB!

Tucson, it's a dry heat
I was doing good with all of my EVODs and no cracking for 3 months, but lately there have been a rash of EVOD casualties around her. The first was MBV's Cola - ATE the inside of my EVOD within minutes. Then, while soaking my cheap fasstech EVODs in vodka, the rubber coating on one just bubbled up and peeled off. Then, I found another one that cracked while soaking in vodka as well. I never had a problem with vodka and EVODs in 3 months, so I am stymied (but officially in the "cracked club"!)

ha ha i am hardly glam. but i don't usually like my pic taken unless i am "fixed up" some :)

well, this thread today only goes to prove how different everyone's taste buds are. nothing taste the same to two different people, and one person's heavenly vape is someone elses hell. it obviously is not an exact science!

Maybe so maybe so. I see you ECF join date month is November which was my birth month. The really weird thing though is the TJ mfg date is the same date as my very first MBV order 6/22/13. Twilight zone music yet?

95% positive it was from Bananas Foster. It wasn't on the list at the time.

I tried to clean out the one on the right using a green scotchbrite pad.

well, i always heard that cola is very acidic and corrosive. it will even clean the battery posts in your car. so i have no doubt it's not good for anything you put it in, except maybe glass. you are officially "cracked" :)

Im really shocked at how different people are when it comes to what they use for tanks. Seems just about everyone is on the evod. I tried the pro tank, iClear 30, and Vivi nova and absolutely hated them all. To much gurgling(vivi), flooding(pro tank), and the iClear would out of nowhere give me a mouthful of juice without warning. I have been on carto tanks and RBA's and love them, plus no worry about tanks cracking!
