Tanks going cloudy

[ZadowSmAsh]

Hi ECF,

I recently purchased some melon flavored concentrates and mixed up a batch of it last night.

This morning I woke up to find the tank I have put it in (Boge F16) has gone rather cloudy. This has never happened to any of my other F16 tanks. I have heard of juices cracking tanks (never happened to me) but never heard of them going cloudy.

Would this suggest that the juice has reacted badly with the plastic tank? If so I assume that I should throw the tank out and only use this melon flavor in my kayfun without the clear window?

Any help suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

1: cracking/cloudy : basically the same thing.
Some liquids react with some plastics; if you keep using a liquid which reacts with the plastic eventually the plastic gets so thin it will physically crack / break.

2: best to use glass tanks.

If you use a white/fuzzy type of plastic you'll end up merely not seeing the problem.

You can give that thing a thorough wash.

Yes, that tank and the liquid in it has become compromized -- throw both of them away. There are a host of flavoring agents which can etch, crack, or melt polycarbonate plastic (the clear plastic used in clearomizers and cartotanks).

Something Safe for Cinnamon & Citrus Flavors

Thanks for the replies guys.

I will toss the tank and the liquid in it.

I'm not a fan of the protanks, my friends have them and I wasn't terribly impressed. I vape full time with carto tanks as they suit me best.

I think I'll have to bite the bullet and get an IBTanked or something similar.

Cheers.
