the glass of my Prince tank cracked, I put sello tape around it and elastic bands at the top and bottom, it’s a temporary fix but I still plan to use it while I wait for the replacement to deliver. Will this be okay to use?will it leak no matter what I do? Will it ruin the coil? I’m fairly new so I’ve no clue whatsoever
Another stupid question

I agree with above. It will still likely leak, but it won't do any harm unless it leaks on your mod's electronics. If the tank is no longer air/liquid tight, the tank won't work properly.
Always have a backup. Backup battery. Backup battery device. Back up coils. Backup tank.
Never give yourself an excuse to buy another pack of cigarettes. They are too easy to get.

My money is on it will leak.
I had a tank glass that got a single crack so it held together fine. I also had tank bands on it to help protect it in a fall (I think this must've been a heat or a pressure thing that caused it to crack). I'd fill it fine and then later it would randomly dump.
The tape goo may help plug the crack long enough before the liquid breaks the goo down.

Most definitely going to leak, especially if left with juice in overnight. Always have a backup plan...
Will it leak? Yep. At the o ring/crack point if nowhere else. If you leave it filled overnight there will be a puddle come morning.
Check the box your tank came in, it should have came with a replacement glass. It's only 5ml, but it will work better than the McGyver setup.

Yes, there should be a spare glass included with this. Every tank ive bought, smok and others, have a spare.
This is why I have multiple tanks. They do all come with spare glass though, so there should be one in the box. Tape is bound to leak, and the pressure in the tank will be off, which could cause a coil to flood or not wick properly.
If it is going to leak, take it away from the mod when leaving overnight. I had a very similar situation last week and I had to say goodbye to my new wismec rx... 
Ah that sucks broIf it is going to leak, take it away from the mod when leaving overnight. I had a very similar situation last week and I had to say goodbye to my new wismec rx...
It should leak, yes. Use the replacement glass while you are waiting on your order. Otherwise you will just be wasting juice and exposing your mod to the possibility of a leak.
Best of luck, McGuyvering may work under certain circumstances, but probably not in this one.
I also kind of go "ewww" any time my tank breaks or cracks and I just worry about glass pieces. It's not really a "logical" worry, you aren't, in all likelihood going to be inhaling glass shards (probably) but I just.... the idea of using a cracked tank is so unappealing, in so many ways.
When you can afford it, a backup, then a backup for your backup.
Best of luck though I hope you get it resolved soon.

Definitely going to leak , my SMOK I sub ohm tank cracked once , after dropping. Made the decision of orderingand new glass, while I stick to my RDA.
It will likely leak, but you're the only person in a position to find out how much it will, because while all happy tanks are alike, each unhappy tank is unhappy in its own way. I'd second the recommendations about not leaving it on a mod when not in use, and having backups. I'd store it in a high enclosed place in a container that will catch any leaked fluid when not in use, until you can get a replacement- but I have cats who get into everything I don't specifically put out of their reach. I'd use the container even so, so you know how much it has leaked overnight.
And if you get juice on your hands wash them, especially before touching children or pets. Probably no biggie, but better safe than sorry.

The prince tank ships with two glass tubes; the bowl and the non bowl. Don't you have the non-bowl to use while you wait?
