Broke my third pyrex tank last night :(

[input_output]

As the title says, this is the third tank that i broke. Didnt even realized it was cracked till i filled it up and it just gave way. Wasted some of the juice too.

Serves me right for not paying more attention to the weight distribution of my ipv4s and limitless plus rdta.

Hopefully someone out there can learn from my mistake and be aware that if your rdta has a bigger circumference than your mod, the pyrex tank might crack even if it got toppled over by a small bump when no batts are inserted. Actually sometimes it topples over even with batts inserted.

get those rubber band thingies or just 3d print a widestand(if you're so inclined)

Now my setup looks like this. lol

LOL!
Yah, rubber bands. Wrap it round the glass so if u drop it, at least there's some protection. It may look like f**k, but its still better than a cracked tank.
Happy vaping.

I'm a newbie and cracked my tank by over-tightening the top. Even though I doubt I'll do that again, I've ordered a 5-pack of replacement glass for any future misadventures!

I ordered a 5 pack of glass for the RTAs I have which also came with extra glass. Luckily haven't broken one yet. But prepared anyway.

im afraid ordering them isnt as easy where im at. lol
those that actually can bring them in and sell it have it at such a high price im tempted to just get a new rda.

I kinda doubt the glass will be intercepted. I'll let you know what happens with mine that I ordered (from an eBay vendor). I think it was around $10.50 USD for 5 including shipping.

I vape every day all day on an rda. One of the things I like about that is no glass to break. I wrote to fasttech and suggested they comission some stainless steel replacement barrels for various tanks. If you use temp control you'll find out the liquid is low without making a dry hit. May be some of the top fill tanks let you see how much liquid is left in the tank from the top. I'm not sure about that because I haven't used a tank in several years. The manufacturers would prefer to use plastic instead of glass but the market doesn't like that.

This is why I treasure my eGo ONE Mega tanks with the RBA coils. Glass tank in a steel sleeve. I've dropped 2 of my setups on concrete from as high as 4 feet. Put some gouges in both mod and tank but both kept on vaping. They fall from the dash in my truck all the time. Haven't broke one yet.

 

[bombastinator]

Ive broken nearly a dozen over the years. It is the way of things. The all glass outside thing big is just not a good idea. The whole thing eventually drove me exclusively to RDAs

Liking @Foggy Road's ego ones though

Im actually looking into a new RDA, just sold off my mutation v4 cos i got the limitless plus rdta. I just googled/youtubed for new and current RDAs and goodness gracious me.... there's just so many i cant decide

I guess I jinxed myself! My five pieces of pyrex got intercepted. Maybe the package was labeled too honestly by the seller because I doubt anyone would have known it was for vaping otherwise.

the problem is that yeah on the packing list or invoice, items are too clearly labelled. so even if they are innocuous parts...as long as they are meant "for vaping", they fall about of the applicable legislation. haiz.

So much frustration and fiddling with them tanks, and those squonkers are so relaxed and enjoying themselves

 

[SteveS45]

I once broke 3 in a week so don't feel bad!

 

[stols001]

I tend to break glass tanks, not pyrex ones. I hope I just haven't cursed myself here.

Hmmmaybe i should

Hmm maybe i should try and order something and ask the seller to label something else which isnt for vaping on the invoice *idealiao*

 

[stols001]

You can try I guess, but you are technically asking a seller to commit fraud. I wouldn't ask a seller to do that if it were any kind of pressured situation, and I also doubt that many reputable sellers would do it. But, you can try...

No need to commit fraud. Just label it Pyrex glass tubes. The truth and not related to vaping for most people.
