!! WARNING !! Kanger Subtank RBA Insulator Dissolving Into my Juice !!! What should I use to make one?

[ErnieKim]

Kanger acknowledged this issue and is sending me a new insulator as soon as they are available.

In the meantime, can anyone tell me what material to use as a temporary insulator? I used glass but it broke when tightening.

I don't know what the original material was, Kanger won't tell me. I use cinnamon in my juice. They won't tell me what the replacement is made out of either.

I looked at my Ehpro kayfun and sure enough, it's doing it too.

Please help me out with a material recommendation and where I can buy it.

Also, Mr. Moderator, let me know or feel free to move this post. I put it here for lots of visibility.

Thanks,

ErnieKim

So what kind of "juice" did you have in your tank, eh? {MODERATED}

How is it kanger or kayfun's fault that you destroyed it under those conditions? Just sayin'

 

[sparkky1]

You make your own extract ? Is that the only juice you have ran through that tank ?

 

[Pocha]

Phil Busardo addressed this issue in his recent video and says Kanger knows of this issue and, going forward will sell it's tanks with a PEEK insulator. In addition they told him they will be offering replacement insulators for people who purchased the original SubTanks.

Oops...saw that you already know that Kanger is addressing the issue. Carry on.

dissolved ? or melted down ?

You got a link to the vid?

 

[underwhelmd]

You got a link to the vid?

So this guy in the video puts causitc fluid in his tank that is known to eat things like rubber and plastic and creates a video : bad news on the kanger subtank.
Then has to admit in the comments it's his own fault. Kanger actually joined in to let people know they were aware.


This dude reminds me of combo off breaking bad. lol

It doesn't seem to be fair business at all if Kanger offered to replace it even when they don't have to and then made a "warning!!!!!" post like this.

Are you an aspire employee, original poster?

 

[Kloudz]

It can cause health problems, but I'm still using it, haha...

 

[ScandaLeX]

Thanks Under!

I couldn't watch the whole vid but based on the comment section he's got a lot of people thinking the KST is a bad tank.
I hate to see it get so much negative press when in fact the juice may have been the problem.

 

[Kloudz]

I'm gonna say 80% user error
(common sense)
and 20% juice fault. If he's been vaping for awhile he should know that some juices destroy tanks over other juices.

Edit: not the OP, but the tool in the video.

 

[caramel]

If that juice dissolves plastic, I'm wondering what it does to your lungs.

1) I did not post any video
2) I did acknowledge Kanger for replacing the part
3) I use Dragons Breath which is a popular juice by the Mad Alchemist

Shouldn't your post be about how nice Kanger is to take care of your issue considering you destroyed the parts using non-standard juice it's not made to handle?

How is it kanger or kayfun's fault that you destroyed it under those conditions? Just sayin'

Sparky,
Nope, I only used Dragons Breath by "The Mad Alchemist"; Great Juice!

Can I get the Peek material to make my own insulator? I'm afraid it may be a while. I'm thinking about scavaging a kayfun, quite similar.

Didn't get hot, I only build coils around 1.4 and am careful not to dry burn and ruin my cotton.

Unlike you, I care enough about people to give them a "heads up". I've nothing to do with any of the accusations you mentioned {Moderated}

KLoud,

I agree, it kills me not to use it, it worked Grrrreeaaattt; as Tony used to say. That's why I'm trying to find material to make my own insulator.

Klouds,
Thanks. But my juice is pretty standard stuff, kind of strong but not that bad. I've tried to find out what cinnamon is used in it but they won't tell me; not surprising I guess.
I only ran one tank of juice through it, albeit its a big tank, but the material is clearly inferior. Kanger (China) even thinks it was a bad lot of material.

"Just Sayin"

From Mad Alchemist's website:
"A very strong & spicy Vape with some cinnamon heat. Rasberry and Cinnamon make a crazy good combo, who woulda thought? As with any cinnamon based vape this is NOT intended for plastic tanks."

Just sayin'

 

[VaPreis]

NOTE TO SELF: Don't ever vape "Dragon's Breath" it dissolves things.

As a rule, I refuse to vape tank crackers. If they eat plastic, they probably eat me too.
