Question: Tank killer Liquids in catomizers?

[DaydreamingRobot]

What effect if any will a tank killer liquid have on a catomizer? I was thinking about getting a Catro tank.....which one I dont know... but pyrex abouve all for tank crackers.
I was just curious is the tank killer juices had any effect on the catomizer fillers or the cartomizers them selves.

I've been using Smoktek cartos with Atomic Cinnacide 80/20 (a very aggressive tank killer!) for years and have never had an issue. However I don't use a tank on the carto. There are a lot of glass tanks for cartos out there if you want to use a tank, but to answer your question, citrus and other known flavorings that crack plastic tanks have no determinable affect on the filler in cartos.

Hope that helps.

Thanks I was wondering if it would melt the filler material or something like that. I hadn't seen anything on topic and im kind of a noob still so, I wanted to make sure I wasnt gonig to inhale some chemical reaction other than what vaping typically provides.

Any pyrex cartotanks will be fine and juices do not effect the cartomizers at all. I use Smoktech pyrex DCTs and love them. Good luck and have fun!

I made a super cool menthol/mint... My carto fell appart... BUT it was a FT carto tank
And my turkish pepper/apple liquid cracked a pyrex tank

A less expensive alternative is a polypropylene tank. Just stay away from polycarbonate. And some plastic drip tips will melt also.

No not ANY pyrex tank. You need one with metal endcaps. If the endcaps are plastic you are back to melting.

I'm going out on a limb here to assume that the borosilicate was deffective in some way.. most resistant glass on Earth.
Did you see spider web patterns in the crack?

To sum up what the previous few posters said: You need a stable, non-reactive tank material (borosilicate glass and stainless steel being the ideal) to prevent cracking.

I don't use tank-killers myself, only because those flavors are a little too harsh for my tastes. A lot of what I say is based off of what I view as my version of common sense, having a little knowledge of reactivity, tinkering and amateur research. I'm the farthest thing from an expert that is extant on this forums and I spend a lot of time dragging things on and talking out of my ....

Take what I say with a bigger grain of salt than most.
