tarnished tank

[joeyzx2]

hi all, i have a little issue that maybe you all can help me with..
i read a reddit post that said a good way to clean tanks and atomizers is to put them in a bowl
of hot water with some coffee pot cleaner and let soak.. well i did this with my subtank mini.
all the parts including the rba base.. let it soak for about an hour, then take all the pieces out
and to my surprise every piece of the tank, (except the little cage part where the glass sits)
is tarnished!!! it actually looks pretty cool now, but im just wondering what could have caused this.
and is it still safe to use. i dont want to be vaping it if its breaking the metal down or something.
thanks for any help

What an odd advice but okay, reddit

Once put back together, check if the resistance on your mod is what you expect but otherwise the tank should be fine to use if it did not sprung a leak ....

What kind of atomizer is that?
"Stainless steel" ?

 

[joeyzx2]

doesnt leak, reading resistance at .57 was shooting for.5 so thats close.
tank is supposed to be stainless steel, its an authentic kanger subtank

Hi mate,
What "coffee pot cleaner" did you use?
Some are more aggressive than others and may contain extra ingredients to remove oils, stains and mineral scales.
In future, a qwcpc (quick wash coffee pot cleaner) of 30 seconds or so may work better than doing the soak thing.

cheers

Sure it's not a film of cleaning residue left on the inside of the tank? I'd personally give it another clean now.
