I know juice could make a clear tank look frosted, but it had never happened to me until I got some "Fire and Ice" juice. I have other ice juices that don't have this issue, so it must be the cinnamon that is doing it.

So my question is, do I need to worry about the tank breaking or any dangerous stuff leaching out of the tank? This is a typical DCT.

Thanks,

Thanks, just got a tanks at valley view tanks. They seem to have really good prices and I could use paypal. Haven't used them before, so hopefully they are quick with the shipping.



I just ordered from them tonight also. The pyrex just came in stock a few hours ago.

I just did a review http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-valley-view-tanks-7ml-pyrex-tank-review.html of these tanks here.

I 've been using two 7 ml clear pyrex tanks from this vendor. These are a very affordable way to obtain a pyrex glass tank. They do what they were designed to do, which is hold your eliquid without leaking or falling off of your mod accidentally. They also are safe for using any of the liquids known to destroy clear plastic tank materials. Their only downside is that they are grommet tanks (use no end caps) and must be filled by inserting a blunt needle between the silicone grommet and the carto. End caps are one of the major expenses of a tank system, so going with these large grommets saves you some money.

Having filled my tanks a couple of times now, I have a couple of suggestions. Insert the needle from the bottom of the tank. Then, should you tear the fragile silicone a little it won't be as noticable from the bottom of the tank between it and the mod.

Also, pushing the needle into the tank tends to push that section of the grommet further into the tank. Using a blunt dental tool from the drug store, inserted just like the needle, you can "tease" the silicone back to the way it was. The grommets likely will eventually get some tears in them regardless how careful you are, so have some extras in reserve. They are dirt cheap from the vendor.
