That feeling I ya get when something went wrong

So yesterday I made a big opps, and put some, unsafe for poly, liquid in my tank, and well you can see the results.. But, it's more that I don't have another tank... and I came to realize I have zero XL cartos for the other tube...... so looks like solo cartos till tuesday. Anyways good lesson in remembering to check your liquids.. but what has happen to others that has got them down ?

Yikes. At least you have some backups so you're not totally out of the fog.

What liquid did this dirty deed?

Oh yeah. When I was a noob I had cinnamon juice in a vivi nova. Went to get my PV out my pocket and the whole tank came right off in my pocket. Now mind you this happened as I was going into work. It was interesting smelling like cinnamon all day though...

John, it was Arnold Palmer from MBV.. Like I didn't even think about it, even though it say on the site it does it.. Alcarl, I got lucky and noticed the top cracking and had time to run to my sink. Ha, Sure your co-workers liked you "cologne".

Weird, I've had Arnold Palmer sitting in a cheap plastic tank for about a week, since i rotate flavors and dont use it as often. No issues yet, but I may go home and empty it out now.

 

[ohmyidontthinkthisworks]

Yeah.. idk maybe it was the extra flavor shots.. like it started cracking then full destruction in about 4 hours.. but now atleast I have something to put liquid on over night to see if it's safe. lol

Not emptying my clearos while on a plane... tons of leakage...

I quickly switched to Pyrex when I saw a thread about tank cracking and all the pictures of gobs of melted plastic. Not to derail your thread but how was the Arnold Palmer from MBV?

Funny, I've been using the same plastic tanks since there have been tanks (about 2 years). Not all plastics are created equal.

Not a major disaster but I was mowing my yard the other day and had forgotten that I had a clearo full of juice in my pocket. As I was mowing, our neighborhood walkers were out for their afternoon stroll and giving me what I thought were funny looks. I looked down and their was a giant wet spot on the front of my pants. The clearo had somehow unscrewed from the bottom and all the liquid drained into my pocket. What a mess!! ............... ;-)~
