willmon22 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well as the title says i'm back. I decided to come back as I am going to be vaping again. I just can't stand the taste of the cigarettes and cigars I have been smoking even though they are usually 1.50-2.50 a pack which is almost nothing since a pack lasts me weeks. Anyways I was wondering about polycarbonate tubes on tanks are they really at risk for cracking? As I have one and I just heard that they are at risk for cracking for specific ejuices. Mine hasn't cracked yet but I am going to try to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Welcome back. I believe you're supposed to avoid juices that contain cinnamon. Im sure others will chime in with what they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmon22 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks jeffb. I have never used any cinnamon ejuice so I guess I should be fine. I guess I will just have to get a tank that will be able to withstand all juices. If someone could give me a suggestion of what type and where that would be great. I have one of these: http://www.mister-e-liquid.com/6ml-dualcoil-carto-tank-in-silver/ if I could get one that has glass or whatever material it is that works best that is basically like this one that would be great. I really love these as it holds a good amount and it gives great taste as well as a good throat hit and tons of vapor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 When I first started vaping I had several clearomizers crack due to the high citrus content of the juice. With the newer ones these days that hasn't been an issue. And welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsune Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Welcome back !!! I haven't had any trouble with my tanks, even with cinnamon flavors. but apparently cinnamon and menthols can cause cracking, but I think thats mostly with the clearomizers.

willmon22 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 You may have one of the following then kitsune: metal, pyrex (glass), or polypropylene tanks I would find the place it is purchased from and see if it states what type of tank it is. As mine is polycarbonate for sure. Surprisingly though it has gotten cloudy or cracked yet. I am just hoping it doesn't do this as I am not wanting to have a plastic taste out of my tank. Here are the juices I have ordered: http://www.ecblendflavors.com/dragons-blood-eliquid-flavor/, 1 x 01 Create Your Own Malt (Bottle Size: 5 ml $2.50, Nic Strength: 24 mg - Strong, Base Mix: 50% PG / 50% VG, Additional Sweetener: Enhanced Sweetener, Add a Flavor 1: Add Vanilla, Add a Flavor 2: Add Root Beer, Add a Flavor 3: Add Cookie, Name Your Creation: rootbeerfloat), and http://www.ecblendflavors.com/stevens-surprise-eliquid-flavor/ which doesn't seem to say what flavors are in the eliquid other than sweet strawberries, luscious peaches and cream. I am hoping these don't break my tank after I just start to vape again as it would really upset me. The site I got my tank from did not state this warning so I didn't know before buying the tank.

kitsune Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 mine is the same one you linked to , just the 3ml size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmon22 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well I have left some eliquid in mine for several months and now that I am cleaning it the top and bottom came off and now they won't stay on snuggly but it doesn't leak surprisingly. Is there any way I can fix this and make it secure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
