Warning: may crack your tank! What does it do to lungs?

I would NOT vape any of those plastic melting juices. Reminds me too much of acetone and those scent canes that you can buy for the car.

The thing to be scared of is, will we still be able to vape long term period once our elected officials get a hold of it. Lungs will be the least to worry about not that I am, smoking didn't kill me neither will Vapeing.

I have ordered juices with warnings before, mainly cinnamons that come with a warning. I always mostly ignored the warning because I never had a poly tank crack/warp/melt before while using these juices.

Recently I finally got a juice, with a warning, that DID in fact damage the tank. It was nothing grand like a crack but it warped, tasted "off" and when I noticed the taste being a bit weird I took it apart only to notice the plastic drip tip partially melted/liquified in the catch cup. This was a new one for me and I was like "Holy sheet!". I wish I took pictures at the time...grrr.

So I chucked that tank and tip and put it in glass and steel. Unsurprisingly, all tastes fine again. I have since taken the flavour out of my rotation though although I did quite enjoy the taste and find it to be a solid juice other than the seemingly caustic nature of it.

My question to you guys (yes, I know you are all doctors and medical professionals haha) is: Do you think these type juices are wise to vape? My lungs haven't liquified to my knowledge but I have stopped vaping that flavour. The sight of all that melted plastic left me a bit scarred to be honest.

In my experience it's usually not a problem unless it's a spicy flavor in the first place. Unlike a piece of poly-carbonate or plastic, the human body can balance PH to some degree. I.E. If something is too acid, your body will neutralize it with base, and vice verse.

I do find that with something like a really strong Cinnamon bomb (the candy flavor kind) it can irritate my sinus if I sit there and chain vape it all day. So for those kinds of flavors...I set up another PV dedicated to them (usually a dripper with SS Mesh wick) and use them less frequently.

With the sour apple stuff...it hasn't irritated me so far...but it does make me THIRSTY.

As with anything that might be too spicy or acidic for an individual...moderation is the key. If it gets irritating...slow down or don't use it
