why can vape juice crack plastic tanks

by Clarissa Beer Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

While some vape reps and scientists believe that plastic materials in vape tanks melt or break during use because of the acid in the juice, and others think that the durability of the plastic is the problem, there are still others who believe the problem is caused by the heat that comes from the batteries.

It's simply a combination of natural acids and extremely hot plastic that can expose flaws in the plastic, causing the tanks to become damaged. Although cracking and fogging can occur in your tanks, it's very rare for extreme cases to happen.May 8, 2016

I just started vaping within the last month or so, and love it. I enjoyed smoking, but of course figured this must be healthier, and even if it was just as bad I'd probably still vape instead because of all the other advantages.

It's a common worry. Basically, there are known (and unknown) flavours that will crack or "leech" into plastic tanks.

I know you can find a list of common tank crackers. I think one of them is cinnamon. Also, some company's add a list of the liquids that their customers have had issues with their tanks. I would read up on the liquid you have and then avoid the tank crackers if you are worried.

As you noted anything is safer than cigarettes. When I stopped smoking, I cleaned everything in my music / computer room. What came off on those paper towels told the story. I feel pretty good about my chances with e-juice.

I've been doing tank crackers from mbv, though other companies same flavors don't crack tanks (who knows about peach).

It tends to be citrus, cinnamon, and strong menthol juices that do this though not all of them and there are other flavors as well. There are a few lists here on the forum, this being one: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/219179-lets-make-list-juices-flavors-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos.html

Thank you mods!

I just wanted to publicly thank the mods for implementing our new no medical questions rule that I suggested a few days ago. Hopefully it cuts down on some of the clutter, questions we're not qualified to answer, and just dumb shit that's in no way related to vaping being blamed on vaping.
