Where can I find clearomizer or tank that's safe for citrus e juices?

[Wow1420]

I'm a total newbie and I have a couple of orders of e-juice and ego batteries in the mail to me, but I don't think I ordered the right type of clearomizer to use with citrus-y e juices. I'm reading now that citrus or Mt. Dew type flavors will harm plastic tanks.

I'm sort of in web store browsing overload state right now, so maybe someone can help me find a vendor that has glass or metal (or citrus safe plastic?) clearomizers/tanks in stock. (low budget if possible)

My very minimal experience with cartomizers already makes me prefer not to deal with them any more.

IBtanked.com sells glass tanks at a reasonable price, the owner is OCD here on the forum. They can get you started, nice family run business. You put the cartomizer in the tank and it extends the life as they never get dry.

ETA: and they beat the heck out of clearomizers hands down

I've used menthol, citrus and just about everything in this tank.
There's also a mini available.

You can use stainless steel cartomizers and either a pyrex or polypropylene tubed cartotank with your eGo batteries. Don't use anything that has clear plastic material to touch those flavors in question. The below article is copied from my blog articles linked under my avatar:

If you are using a cigarette-size battery, about your only option to use the volatile flavors in question is a cartomizer. The other juice delivery devices are just too large to put on a cigalike.

View attachment 179898 View attachment 179899 IBTanked pyrex and polypropylene DCT cartotanks.

IBTanked and Valley View Vapes offer about the most affordable pyrex tanks available, and are high quality. The new Kanger Pro Tank (glass) is also an option.

Any tank that uses polypropylene as the tube material (frosted plastic) is safe also, such as the DCT pro tanks from My Vapor Store and the polypro tanks at Valley View. All-metal tanks can be used, but are difficult to judge falling juice levels since you can't see the juice.

View attachment 179901 Replacement all-metal tubes for Vivi Nova tanks

There are metal sleeves available for the Vivi Nova tanks, sold as an accessory. Only the ones made entirely with metal are safe, the ones with the clear plastic window are still made with polycarbonate, which can still crack with the volatile flavors.


View attachment 179902 Big Daddy metal tank with juice window

The Big Daddy and Lil Moma metal tanks have a juice window that the vendor claims is safe for all juices, so I assume the window is made of glass or polypropylene.

Thanks, the mini looks interesting. How hard is it to fill?

Thanks for the response. The thread references were very helpful. But for some reason the attachment links don't work for me?

Valley View Vapes makes polypropylene and pyrex tanks that are inexpensive and will stand up to all juices. Not many vendors make polypro tanks (most are polycarbonate), while VVV's pyrex tanks are much cheaper than most of the competition.

I would like to get a gallon jug to sit on the floor and use it as a bottom feeder. But the wick would be a little long I am afraid.

Update - I got Mini Vivi Nova Metal tube for now and I'm very pleased with the way it work. Filled it up with Mt Dew flavor and I'm more than happy enough with the performance to overlook the annoyance of not being able to see the juice level.

Thanks for all your replies!
