As of late I've been using clearo's. Loved the things: so easy to fill, kind of cleanable, decent price. But now I'm becoming worried about these things. I had one that litterally separated the clearo from the clearo. Doesn't make sense? Literally, it decided to come apart at the seams. Then in another, juice ended up SOMEHOW getting into my mouth. The almost turned to vapor warm kind, not the "eh wash your mouth out" kind. Is this a normal clearo happening? If so I might as well safe money and buy a tank..

There is no way to answer your question. Because there is no answer that fits All Clearos.

I can say this, it Isn't normal for anything to "Fall Apart".

Citrus and cinnamin are known to cause failure in clearo's. I'm not certain about what you mean when you say coming apart at the seams, but if you mean the clear tube separating from the base, yep, the lime I was using did exactly that. So did the melon, it just took a little longer. I've stayed away from any orange flavor because of that experience. No problems with strawberry or blueberry.

What type of clearo are you using? There are hundreds of different types. Not all clearos are created equal. Many of them are just press-fit together (a plastic tube pressed unto a metal collar),and can fall apart if you push them from the side...even "quality" clearos. One solution is to use a "collar" that fits over the Clearo (if it's the smaller type) and attaches to the battery; such as the Volcano Inferno has.

A tank is a different matter...I use both & each has their pluses & minuses. A small (3ml) carto-tank might suit your needs, but you have to make sure to keep the carto full of juice or you will get burnt tastes. If you don't want to mess with a carto, be sure to try a Vivi Nova tank also (I really like them), just make sure it's a real Vision Vivi, the knock-offs are junk.

Lots of options, pick up one of each & see which one works for you.
