Will these vapors ruin my tank?

[Ziconic]

So I'm new to vaping, and I got a eGo One about 2 weeks ago. I'm still on my first 15ml bottle I got from the store I got it from, but I'm getting sick of the taste. So I found Mt. Baker Vapor and saw that it was really cheap, and I could customize the VG/PG content. So I just ordered 3 different 15ml flavors. I got Ecto Cooler, Demon Energy, and Hawk Sauce. I watched a video and it said that some liquids can melt or ruin tanks, and that worries me a little bit since Mt. Baker Vapor is really cheap stuff, I'm not sure if it's good or not. But have any of you had bad experiences with certain ejuices? I head citrus can be harmful, but that kinda sucks because that's the flavors that I feel like I'll like the most. Any thoughts on this?

Welcome to ecf! If you use glass tanks there's nothing to worry about but yes, citrus and cinnamon are called tank crackers if you use plastic tanks.

I want to say i remember mbv putting a warning on the flavors that could Crack tanks.

I wouldn't rely solely on my answer but I've noticed most reputable juice websites will mention whether or not they've heard complaints of a certain juice damaging tanks on a juice's description.

However, like I said, I wouldn't rely on it. The majority of it doesn't cause problems but the moment I see it's a potential tank cracker, I don't take the chance (Even though, i'm positive it would not damage my stainless steel tank, lol). Even when I had a cheaper one, the chance just didn't seem worth it to me. However, doesn't mean you can't, I'd just make sure you have a back up just in case.

I agree with what others said, Citrus and Cinnamon are the two most common ones I hear about.

Just the idea of using a plastic tank creeps me out, tank cracking juice or not.

How can I tell if my tank is plastic? The ego one has tiny little slits for windows, so I can't really tell if it's glass. It's a pretty solid ecig made out of steel or something, and it comes with a glass tip, but idk about the windows.

Welcome Ziconic (and other newer folks!)

Most of the starter kits will probably have plastic tanks. There are a BUNCH of glass tanks out there, and there are versions of the eGo/EVOD tanks which have glass. Glass tanks are a bit heavier, and you should be able to tell pretty readily if your tank is plastic or glass. The plastic will not be quite as clear as the glass will be.

Is the tip truly glass or just "clear"? I'm guessing you have the plastic ones, but without actually seeing it, I'm not sure.

ETA - I have used Mt. Baker juices before, and I think they're pretty decent (especially for the price.) And MBV has a link (or at least used to) on its site listing its flavors which are potential crackers....

Ecto cooler is actually a tank cracker. I suggest you run water and rinse thoroughly before refilling.

The Eleaf Air GS is a nice cheap pyrex tank that won't cost you much... Ecto Cooler is great!

Try Liqua Citrus Mix, a great citrusy vape that doesn't break tanks and retails for about 11 bucks the 30ml
