Plastic Clearomizers

[Tennjed]

I am a new vaper and have a handful of clearomizers and it seems all are plastic (Kanger EVOD, Kanger Mini Protank 2, and clone min protank 2). Should i worry about leaving e juice in them. It seems i have read that some juices eat away or harm the plastic.

Is this an immediate thing i would notice? Does it crack, start leaking, change colors? If it is a problem using these, how would i know?

Thanks

A Kanger Pro Tank mini 2 has a Pyrex glass tank so you can use any type of juice in it and it'll be fine.

Plastic tanks are fine for many flavors. Anything with a lot of citrus (lemon, lime, orange, etc.) can crack plastic tanks. That doesn't mean it always will or that it'll happen right away. Other juices with heavy mint (peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen, menthol, etc.) can also crack tanks, same with those heavy in cinnamon.

I've cracked more than a couple of tanks with one of my favorite flavors: mojito. That's heavy in mint and citrus. For me, the tank developed spider cracks that spread out after some time. The tanks never changed color for me, others might tell you different.

If you're using plastic tanks and are worried your tank might crack and start leaking, then use only those flavors that are not high in citrus, cinnamon and/or mints in them. Save those for use in your KPT 2 mini.

My preferred tank is an Anyvape Davide mini. These are very similar to the KPT minis, the Davides just perform better for me. These have Pyrex tanks on them. I also use the full sized KPT, full sized Davides, an Aerotank and Aspire Nautilus mini. All of these have the Pyrex tank in common so I don't have to keep track of what juices can go in them.

If you're using any of the tank crackers in plastic clearomizers, just keep an eye on them for cracks. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about it, just be sure to keep a spare back up so you can transfer the juice if your plastic tank should develop a leak.

Like Tam said, tank-cracking juices will slowly deteriorate a tank... I've seen only one plastic tank "pop" and leak juice (Vivi Nova mini - not mine)... and I'm pretty sure it was damaged to start with. Usually, a tank-cracking juice will slowly spider-web a tank, or it may appear that the plastic is fogging. Once that happens, it's only a matter of time for it to begin leaking.

Myself, I use Pyrex tanks (KPT2, KPT3-mini, AeroTank, and Nautilus) 99% of the time. I have a couple of EVOD tanks, but they rarely see any use anymore (will probably give them away to someone in need).

Just be aware of the juices you're using, and keep an eye on your tanks. Most plastic tanks can handle a tank-cracking juice for a while... it's not like you're pouring gasoline into a Styrofoam cup... it won't deteriorate immediately
