Can glue contaminate the tubing/eliquid?

[scemmer]

I recently rebuilt my Grand with the new sub ohm kit. My first rebuild, and it's rocking! I'm sure this is just paranoia, but I can't stop thinking about the little dab of glue used to affix the tubing. Does anyone know if there's any concern of the glue contaminating eliquid? Also, I used cement glue. Bad idea?

I had a similar worry so I did not use any glue.

Let's let the experts chime in on your question.

I am not an expert although I play one on TV. The way I see it and the way the videos show it, is that the tube is placed on the nipple halfway, then you apply the glue to the top of the tube and nipple and press the tubing on the rest of the way. I don't see how any glue can get inside of the tubing when you do it this way. It is all on the outside of the tube and just used to keep the tubing in place. This is my unprofessional opinion.

I don't use glue either, I pull the whole bottle/tube out for refilling.

My unprofessional opinion agrees with yours. But I've never used glue either, haven't needed to yet.

Another hobby of mine is coral reef aquariums. Live coral is very sensitive to anything in the water. We use super glue on live coral all the time. I have no worries with it on the outside of the 510 center post.

I too have been using superglue on my zoas for many,many years. Superglue is approved for use by the FDA for closing wounds. I've used it on cuts for years. Paramedics carry it in the field. Ingesting a little superglue will not harm you and you should not worry about a teeny drop used on the outside of the tube.

Thanks everyone! I'll be vaping easy, and next time I'll try it without the glue.

Super glue was actually invented for use during war time in the past for the exact reason patsfan already pointed out, closing wounds quickly... I don't think it would harm you in any way with the small amount we use to secure the tube.
