Well, my back up tank (the Kanger mentioned in the subject line) took about a three foot fall onto a wooden floor. When I picked it up it looked OK and the glass hadn't broken so I continued to vape it. After a few minuted I noticed it was leaking slightly and on closer inspection it appears that it is bent at a 10° angle allowing the glass on one side to not seal completely. I'm assuming it's the chimney that is bent, so my question is are there replacement parts available or am I stuck replacing the entire unit? Seems awfully fragile to have sustained damage from such a short fall.

Update - Turns out it was actually the part of the base the chimney threads into that was tweaked. Using a pair of alligator forceps and a clamp it appears to be back as straight as I can get it without having a pair of calipers available to check it and everything seems to be sitting flush. Leak has gone away anyhow. Just glad I didn't bork any threads getting it apart. Take great care if you have one of these tanks. Obviously they don't hold up well to even minor abuse.
