New To The Forum; General Questions

[TheRhetorician]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum!
Anyways... My first setup was an eGo-CE4 I bought from my local vape shop, it was $54 for a kit (2 tanks, 2 batteries, 1 charger and a bottle of VG fluid) which only lasted me about 3 weeks before they both cracked. The cracks were on the tanks where the fluid level was labeled. I was pretty upset so I saved up some more cash and bought a new setup from a friend. I now have a Kanger Tech T3S and a Vision Spinner. So I'm wondering... Is my newer setup going to last me longer than my last durability wise?

Hi and welcome! From what I understand some eliquid may affect the plastic tanks. What juice were you using? I have been vaping about month no issues with the t3s but you will get better info as this thread continues. Hang in there vaping is great hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to ECF. The vision spinner is great. You are going to love it. The ability to dial the voltage to suit the juice and topper is a good thing to have.

Do a search here on ECF for 'tank cracking juices' or 'tank cracking liquids' and several threads should come up. I believe that Baditude (and maybe Ocelot) has written a blog post about it also, you can check for that. I do know that Mt. Baker Vapor talks about it on their website so there is another place to check for a list of flavors that will and do crack plastic tanks and clearos and melt drip tips. The types of juices are the citrusy and cinnamon types and include lots of flavors that you would not think would crack a tank, like root beer. You should get yourself a Kanger Protank or Protank mini or a pyrex tank setup for any juices on those lists.

What juices are you vaping?

I found a couple of links to get you started on your reading:

Welcome to the ECF, sound like a glass tank may be the answer. Something like the protank 2.

I was using Two Peas In A Pod (local tacoma brand) VG Gummi Bearz flavor 24mg and then got Vapuro base PG 24mg with the Watermelon flavor add in. What I've been using since my new set up is Honey Melon 24mg that I got from a new shop called Up in Smoke. It doesn't say wether it's PG or VG. Could you explain how I use the vision spinner? Like as you said to suit the juice or topper

Welcome to ECF. I beleive the T3S uses polycarbonate plastic (but I could be wrong). If you plan on using suspect juices or you are unsure you can use clearos/tanks made from:

1. Metal - Stainless Steel or Anodized Aluminum
2. Pyrex (borosilicate) glass
3. Quartz Glass
4. Polypropylene Plastic - Supposedly better
