Anyone else want plastic tanks to make a comeback?

[Beamslider]

Most of the glass tanks are Pyrex glass. Breakable but tougher than regular glass

I have never dropped a mod. Never.

Not once in 4-1/2 years.

I didn't break a single one.

But you're a better person than me.

You are all better people than me if not breaking stuff is the standard. LOL. I can't imagine ever NOT dropping something.

I might've dropped the ring at my wedding (the second one) but I definitely fumbled with it. Can't remember, that was the wedding I was actually nervous for and in the sense of, "I'm gonna change my name this time because I want to, and not just because it's too much work and I am going to have to change it back anyway."

I suppose I like to think I approach life with a certain amount of verve and gusto and etc., but lets face it, it's also super destructive. I mean, I get used to it. Took the husband awhile to get used to it. Like, especially before my ADHD was identified. One time, I balanced probably 2.5 gallons of pecan pie filling-ish stuff that needed to be rendered down, in this large glass mixing bowl. I balanced it on a very small thing. It didn't have a lid or cling wrap even.

The husband was not happy. LOL. In fact, when I DID get medicated he was all mournful and like, "Have I been nagging you too much honey?" And I was like: "What's that now?" and he was like, "Um it's just you have been screwing on lids and stuff and now I'm worried." LOL.

Things are way better. Except my car. My care is the last bastion of my ADHD and I give it free reign. I gotta have a "place."

I want some sort of see through titanium glass product to be developed. Although I have proved that titanium is no match for ME, apparently, so maybe not.

I really like plastic, I always have, I don't care about it's trashy qualities, I think it's an excellent substance and I use it all the times I can. The husband bought me some washable plastic dinner settings and whatnot. I was supremely grateful.

You know what's better than plastic & glass? Silicone.

 

[Dieseler]

Personally do not care for plastic for tanks.

...but the glass is so thin it breaks if you stare at it.

Well, stop staring at it!

That was easy.

I have one tank I simply refuse to use anymore. The Serpent SMM is a nice single coil tank, but the glass is so thin it breaks if you stare at it. Now I know why they included 2 spares instead of one. That's still not enough as every time you clean it it's time for another. I'm really gentle and take care of my equipment, but that design was just plain bad.

I have used my Serpent SMM all day every day for a bit over a year and only broke 1 tank. I was taking it off the mod to clean it, and dropped it from about chest height on a tile floor. That would have broken any tank. Still, it didn't shatter it just cracked and started leaking through the crack.

Now I will say that I >THINK< I heard somewhere that they changed the glass that they used in later production runs to something more durable. So maybe you have one of the earlier runs? If so maybe try some aftermarket glass.

Entirely possible, I got it just after release. I still have it, didn't toss it of anything. Maybe at some point I might do that but my rotation is awfully full right now.

I don't vape tank cracking juices so for me plastic tanks work very well.

They are tougher than glass meaning they don't break as easily as glass, and are they are easy to design into threaded tank designs.

Works for me, but as always YMMV
