The State of Confusion
There is a link at the bottom of the blog that goes to an article about what causes certain ketones to react to polycarbonate and acrylic.

Drip tips were the first thing I noticed was affected. I was confused when they got soft on the bottom.

I hate when that:vapor: happens!

Cinamon

Cola

Red Hots

I am melting, I am melting..........

I have to laugh ....

I bought a couple of Evod' at Rogue Vapers, using Cola in one.....Ruh Roo


Gives "drip tip" a whole new meaning:p

There are a lot of factors involved: different vendor recipes, flavor shots, the type of plastic the tank is made of (many are polycarb blends), how thick the plastic is, how long it's left in the tanks, etc.. Not every tank cracking juice will crack every tank, but cola, cinnamon and banana are pretty universal. You also may not notice if the tank starts to degrade. With my CE4s the drip tips got mushy, I didn't notice anything else. And the Vivi Nova had what appeared to be tiny hairs coming away from the threads when I screwed the top cap off. I didn't know anything was amiss, I was just curious, until I looked at the Vivi Nova next to a new one:

I have about 60 MBV flavors. Just a hint. Most of their juices need a 2-3 week steep to be at their best, unless you can speed steep them, like with an Ultra Sonic cleaner. The tobaccos are best after a month. They're all mixed fresh as you order them and need that time to meld. I have found it to be worth the wait in most cases. Hope that helps.


And a little update. My MBV order came fast..... Don't laugh at my choices, I find favorites in the oddest choices sometimes

Blackberry
Milk Chocolate
Root Beer Float
Get Razzled
Banana
Tobacco

And they threw in Green Tea. All are 24mg except for Tobacco. 36mg.

I tried the Blackberry, yuck. Needs to steep. Tried Milk Chocolate.... Not bad and should get better. I ordered all with 3 flavor shots, figuring if I found a flavor I thought Id like to re-order, I can make adjustments from there, either more or less.

Ok, this totally convinced me that I am up wayyyy too late.....must sleep....hate bananas.....


Great Blog! Wouldn't have even thought about the drip tips being affected. Also it has me second guessing whether I should be vaping so much banana.

PMMA appears to be an acrylic polymer as well, so know banana for my KirF.

But I'm a banana.

Stuff gets weird after mid-night.:laugh: That is a concise summary of how my single life was.

Thanks for the heads up on steeping MBV. I can tell some of these flavors have a long way to go. However the Milk Chocolate is quite good right out of the mail.... The TH is great. I love having some strong TH options around for my analog craving moments.

Also I'm glad I chose 3 flavor shots for each. Some I can barely taste, some are way too strong. The later should calm down after steep. But if I had not chosen extra shots, I wouldn't be able to taste some at all.

Milk Choco may be getting 1 or 2 less shots if I decide to order more.

What does the Milk Choco taste like? I mean, yeah, duh, but I haven't found any chocolate vapes that actually taste like chocolate. And I misread you first post anyway. I thought you were getting Chocolate Milk and I got excited for a minute.

It definitely tastes chocolatey. I'd say a little on the malt side like good old fashion Ovaltine™ and milk, which I like.

A couple cons..... It is really dark. Maybe unnaturally dark, like too much color additive. TH is almost unbearable. Even at lower watts, I can't chain it for very long.

I did order it with 3 extra shots, so maybe that is the culprit for the color and TH. I also have not let it steep much so it may get better with time. I DO plan to order more when I run out, but maybe with only 1 extra shot, and less nico.

If you interested in an accurate chocolate juice, I'd give it a whirl. I will try Tasty Vapors chocolate soon to compare. So far I have liked every flavor I've gotten from TV more than any other vendor...... But then again, I haven't explored many.

I have the milk chocolate also, as well as some other chocolate mixtures with other flavors. I get mostly 'tootsie roll'...not a bad thing if you like tootsie rolls, but not quite like a Hershey's bar or even cocoa powder.....more artificial chocolate candy taste. I hear Halo has a great Belgian Chocolate that tastes like real cocoa, but I've yet to try it.

Welcome.

I come from car forums where people tend to create build threads as a home where they can always be found and where they catalog their progress. So if you ever have a question you think I might be able to help with, stop by. I will always be here in this thread.

I am keeping a record of when and where I got all the lesser found ProVari accessories, so if you need a link or other info just ask.
