Not only is cinnamon a tank cracker, but it also melts the glue used in some glass tanks, and the insulators used in MANY tanks. It also dissolve O-rings. It also can cause sore throats, and probably is MUCH worse to vape for you than most e-liquid in general.

I only say this because of my experience with cinnamon flavored e-liquids, and the recent post regarding a cinnamon e-liquid melting the insulators in a Kanger SubTank. (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...to-my-juice-what-should-i-use-make-one-2.html)

Personally, I love cinnamon flavored e-liquids, but I think I'm going to have to discontinue their use.

Back when I had the original kanger pro tank, a cinnamon liquid actually melted the glue used to hold the glass to the tank. The pro tank was advertised as a pyrex tank that was designed to allow you to vape tank cracking e-liquids. After the glue melted into my tank, I e-mailed kanger, and within a month they changed the design on the original pro tank, and manufactured them without glue.

Just a simple warning guys.

I have the feeling not all cinnamon flavorants do that supermarket. I have a cinnamon from Flavor West that I've used in CE4's, Vivi Novas and carto tanks with plastic outer sleeves and ordinary O-rings and had no issues with any of them.

I have not been able to drip cinnamon at all. Its is honestly just way too harsh. I might mix a few drops in the right tank with a dessert flavor but that's it. Its sad because I love the taste.

That doesn't only apply to cinnamon. I have some flavorings that I can't add at 2 drops per 6 ml tank (2%) or it's too much.

I've also had similar good with one the local shop calls Capella Hot Cinnamon. They had two cinnamon flavorings. The other was oil based.

By the way, Ryedan, I miss the Big Dog in the avatar pic.

I am not a cinnamon user per say, I like to mix cinnamon roll with blackerry but I was wondering if you can dilute your favorite juice down so that it does not crack your tanks but you still enjoy the flavor? Just wondering. I know you may have to add some nic to it or use it as a nighttime vape. I think the answer to most problems is dripping but then again I'm bias. Since I started, I unable to go back.

Thank you for the warning to all those that was not aware.
