It is polycarbonate so yeah...you might want to wait for the stainless steel tubed Reactor tanks.
Yes some liquids will break these tanks down..I think Cuse has a list somewhere. I'll see if I can get him to post it here. I have used a bunch and never had a problem...Mostly Tob liquids but some citrus with no problems.
A list became impossible to maintain with the industry expanding so fast. Basically it comes down to any juice using >15% cinnamon, and any juice that uses >10% of these citrus flavors. Orange, Lemon, Lime, Pineapple, Grapefruit and Mango. But these fruits are usually ok: Banana, Cherry, Grape, Strawberry, Coconut, Blueberry and Blue Raspberry. On the fence: Kiwi and Melons. Very strong mints and eucalyptus flavors can also be a problem depending on type and %.
This is only a rough guide and it changes constantly as new flavors are coming out daily at this point.
Polypropylene tubings seem to have alot of promise for increased durability to these juices, but we still can't be sure how much more durable and if there are other tradeoffs with it.
CG, I've used the polypropylene tanks and, while they don't crack and are resistant to impact and crushing forces, they will cloud up a little over time from some of the more aggressive juices. They also feel a little flimsy to me, even though they are sturdy, just because it's a softer material. I never had any problems that I could see with thermal expansion, but over time it stretched out a bit and the caps became looser, so that could be one tradeoff for somebody who doesn't use juices that require a different material. Just my experience, though
I know what you mean about the list getting long, but that's a nice concise summary, there
One particular Root Beer has been a problem for me in polycarb, not as bad as cinnamon and the like, but over time it has given me noticeably shorter tube life (about a month of filling with that juice exclusively and it becomes a bit brittle). I've switched that one to my SS tube

Here is a quick snap of how Im using my Reactor Tank today. I need to either buy another tank to match my pipe better or get different color tubes. I sure hope some tubes will be around soon This one was bought to match my Satin Provari Mini with red lcd but now I like it on my pipe.

We are gonna have to work on Cuse for some wooden ones!! That looks pretty sweet, but the colors are a little outrageous!!! Nice...
You might see what mistinthewoods can do. I think that is the person doing wood veneer over tank tubes.
Drew or cuse I'm in desperate need of another tube for my reactor. Used a juice in it that I had no idea would ruin it but guess what. It did.
I know they aren't for sale yet but if there's any way I can get one or even two I would pay a premium - just not $67 to buy a whole other reactor!
Please help

Well that's good. If your juice was eating Stainless Steel, I'd be a little bit concerned
Just a word on some citrus flavors I have tried. I have used Highbrow Vapors Blackberry Limoncello and Orange De Sangre in my tank and both have worked very well with no notice damage or issues with the poly.
Thanks for the information. I have Limoncello and Orange De Sangre on the way and was a little worried about using them in a VPX cartomator tank.

Meant to say didn't want the stainless - but at least the original made sence and kinda worked in context
Hmmm battery acid flavored juice.....naaaaaa lol

has anyone trie 100% vg juice in these yet? always a wicking problem with a.v.e. juices. wondering if i should give this a go ?
Im currently running a 100% VG Sweet Georgia Peach at the moment but the maker states that he thins it slightly with water so it seems a bit thinner than typical 100% VG. Im on my last bit of it though so Ill try Bobas next but it will take me all day to get through this tank so maybe tomorrow and we can compare our results.
