First ecig accident!

[BillyWJ]

I broke my drip tip! My new cool red swirly plastic drip tip!

Would it be safe to fix this with superglue? It was only a buck and a half, but I like to repair things, not throw them out!

If I can't, I'll have a spare drip tip o-ring, at least...

I don't recommend using superglue. I'm not too sure it would be safe to be inhaling vapor from your juice as it travels through superglue melting fumes as well. hmm....I dunno, just a thought.

If you could find food grade super glue I'd do it, otherwise I wouldn't. The fumes from some glues can be toxic.

 

[patkin]

No... safer to just toss it.

 

[BillyWJ]

Yeah, I tossed it. LOL. Hey, it's an excuse to hit the B&M tomorrow. Maybe I'll pick up a mech to go with it, they have a Smok Galileo there that I liked a lot...

 

[K_Tech]

Yeah, for a buck and a half, I would have tossed it, too.

I had a silicone drip tip that I really liked that I lost somewhere. It popped off my tank while it was in my coat pocket, and it's gone forever.

 

[Jenn Perry]

I broke mine as well and just tossed it....

A good two part epoxy would've had that fixed up nice. Especially a clear one.

Super Glue will work fine and you will NOT be inhaling ANYTHING once it is cured. Set aside for 24hrs to fully cure.

ETA - all those saying NO be safe, yet this is the forum where people have recommended using Super Glue on Clearo tanks to repair.
At least the tip is above the e-liquid, not holding it.

Cyano Acetate -- the clue is in the name. It give off cyanide fumes while curing. I'd be willing to bet it is safe when fully cured, and safe enough before that, but I'm not sure I'd put my health on the line to prove it.

 

[Zurd]

+1 for tossing it

Dermabond is actually superglue with a slightly different formulation. Personally, I'm not concerned with the health aspects ("regular" superglue has been used for years for affixing fake fingernails) but I have a box o' drip tips, it's not worth my time for $1.50.

 

[omyeyes]

Seriously, a $1.50 and you're upset? Why not just purchase another??

I'm not upset, I was just having a laugh.

Good choice.... besides, once in a while it nice to hit a B&M with a goal in mind.... lol

 

[locke2121]

I've broke several beloved tips...thats why I use stainless now lol! I'd love a ceramic or trippy tip...but I know what would happen!!

 

[Delarob]

+1 for fixing it. There's several fly tying glues/epoxy avail that are all natural and not toxic.

Anything to reduce trash in landfills is a good thing.

You don't have to put your health on the line to prove it. It's already being used in medical glues to close wounds. Cyanoacrylate, that is. Not sure if you typoed or if that's an entirely different kind of glue.
