Volcano Tube Tank Cracking?

[xthestrukonex]

I love to use my tube tank setup on my Inferno. I am about to order some new juices and I was wondering if anyone knows if they will crack the plastic tube tanks sold by Volcano?
Flavors from PinkSpotVapors:
1) Black Mamba "on the rocks" 2)Blu Spot 3) Blue Raz Cotton Candy 4)Pink Spot 5)Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea 6) Rip Tide

Another question is when purchasing replacement tube tanks from Volcano, is there a difference in the black and chrome other than cosmetically? Like will one be more susceptible to damage from certain E juices?

Hi! This list keeps growing: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tanks/219179-lets-make-list-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos-32.html

Thanks for the reply! That looks helpful. Real quick though, they say citrus acid will cause cracking. Could this be in Pink Spot's juices? Or is this only in DIY ?

If Pink Spot has a citrus based flavor such as Orange such and such or Cherry Limeade it could have citric acid as a flavoring...basically if there is some citrus used in the description of the flavor it might have citric acid.

As to the Chrome versus Black, if you are using caustic juices such as cinnamon you might want chrome end caps.

Instead of the TubeTank you could buy a 3.5 ml Smoktech DCT tank (they are the same tank) except the Smoktech is 10 bucks cheaper. You pay 10 bucks just to have "TubeTank" printed on the side.

You also might want to check out a tank that is the same size as the TubeTank except that it is made from glass so you won't need to worry about cracking.

IBTanked makes a pyrex tank with stainless steel endcaps for $22.50.

i concur! and as a fan of citrus juices i'll also tip my hat to the IBTanked suggestion

Looking into purchasing an IBTanked pyrex tank. Question though, are all tanks pyrex? and will the 19mm fit onto my inferno? I'm a newbie if you haven't noticed

The tubes of tanks can be made of plastic; polycarbonate is vulnerable to certain flavors, polypropylene (same plastic that medical syringes are made from, and alway frosted in appearance) is immune to those flavors. They can also be made of pyrex glass or stainless steel (can't see the juice level).

The endcaps on either end of the tube are made of stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, acrylic, delrin, or other plastic materials.

The 19mm IBTanked is probably the best slim pyrex tank available. It will likely be slightly wider than your Inferno battery.

the tank will fit the inferno as long as you're using a carto with the proper threading...so in short, use a 510 carto, and you'll be fine.

if you're asking about aesthetically, it will be wider in diameter to your inferno by a couple of millimeters

This is good info I want to order some stuff to fit my Inferno. Ego stuff should work right, because it's 510? Just wanna double check before I order.

Hi again! The acrylic end caps at IBTanked are very pretty, but to be safe against tank cracking juices stick to the stainless steel ones (they come in colors too). I learned the hard way when my pretty blue swirl caps melted.

Since it appears that the Inferno is a rebranded eGo, this is what a 19mm XL looks like on a 650mah standard eGo and on a 1000mah Twist (both of them have a "B" sized thread cover):



ETA: The caps on the smaller battery are acrylic; the ones on the bigger battery are black stainless steel.
