Carla Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I would like to know what juice not to put in my EVOD. Why is there some that should not be used in an EVOD?
cany Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I wouldnt use high VG juices they wont wick very will in that tank
Carla Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 I was looking for what flavors not to put in it? I saw something somewhere about certain flavors doing bad things to the glass part of the tank, but can not find that info again.
Earthling789 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 EVOD tanks are plastic, so don't use any juice that contains Cinnamon, Spearmint, Wintergreen, (other mints), Menthol, and high Citrus content juices. These are considered tank-crackers. Also, CANY is correct... juices with high VG content (probably anything over 60%) may not wick well.
Carla Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) So.... no lemon, lime, orange, Am I missing any? Edited March 4, 2016 by Carla
Compenstine Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 When it comes to tank cracking juice, you may want to consider a glass tank, then you don't need to worry about it. There is Glass version of the EVOD. Google Search Link

There is Glass version of the EVOD. Google Search Link Thanks Comp, I meant to mention the EVOD-Glass, but honestly, for the price and performance, I would suggest the Kanger ProTank III Mini. They look better, break down more fully for cleaning than the EVOD-glass, and they accept the air-flow-control base from the Aerotank mini. They don't come in pretty colors, sure, but they perform better, IMO, and generally are easier to find. The AeroTank Mini is a KPT3-mini with an air-flow control base, for better air-flow control. Also, the original EVOD is a single coil (BCC), and the EVOD-glass (Pyrex), EVOD2 (plastic tank, covered by stainless steel), AeroTank Mini (Pyrex), and KPT3-mini (Pyrex) are all dual coil (BDC), which again, IMO, perform better.
Compenstine Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Very good points Earthling. Yes I agree there are better tanks than the EVOD. I was just pointing out the EVOD because that is what she is using now. You can get colored glass for the KPT 3 mini too.

Nope, those are the biggies Cinnamon and Menthol are the two that will destroy a tank the quickest. You'll notice the plastic going "cloudy" rather quickly, as the juice starts to etch the plastic, eventually breaking it down to the point they crack/break/leak. Really, any fruity juices will mess with a plastic tank, but usually fruits are in a lower concentration and not quite as volatile as Cinnamon, so you could use a fruity flavor longer without issue, but they WILL eventually destroy the tank. So, if you're going to use mint, Menthol, or citrus juices... switch to a Pyrex tank
Tam Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 13 hours ago, Carla said: So.... no lemon, lime, orange, Am I missing any? Like the guys said, anything high in citrus and/or high in acidity. I'd also stay away from grape flavors as those can crack plastic tanks.
BirdDog Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) EVOD does make a glass tank, EVOD Glass. The glass tanks are hard to find now. The EVOD and EVOD 2 are plastic tanks. The only difference is the mouth piece. These tanks will crack if you use citrus or heavy menthol flavors. But it took a long time for me to finally crack those tanks. Pretty sturdy with my experience. 50pg/50vg mix works well, but anything with a higher vg content doesn't wick well. Edited March 5, 2016 by BirdDog
