Glass on my atomizer/clearomizer

[Chris Rodriguez]

I bought the kangertech topbox nano yesterday and just a bit ago i dropped it, nothing appears broken except that the glass part of my atomizer seperated from the bottom part and now its hard to fill because the glass keeps moving off the piece. ive tried applying pressure while i twist but the glass doesnt seem to want to stay in place, is there anything i can do or will i have to buy a new atomizer?

I would say attempt to take it apart and reassemble it. Maybe you can tighten up the entire thing that way. If not Throw some more money out there for a new one and a Holster

thanks so much for the reply. so what exactly is the term for what i need? do i need a whole atomizer like that whole tank with the mouth piece and the bottom piece with the air flow regulator? is that called an atomizer? i googled "atomizer for kangertech topbox nano" and all that came up was coils. im very new to this whole thing i just got it yesterday so idk if im ready to replace a coil and besides that the coil on mine is fine its brand new

Keep the old one for a learning tool though. This way any problems crop up and you'll have a little better understanding on what makes these little things tick. Here is the link to one of the ECF Suppliers that I've dealt with for awhile. Good spot.

Did you buy it from a local shop? If so, I would try going back to see if they can help you fix it.
We have a great shop here in the Sacramento, CA, area. Their prices on the very few pieces of hardware that my daughter and her boyfriend have bought there are comparable with pricing I have found at trusted online vendors, they don't push you to buy something you don't want or need, and they are very helpful and knowledgeable about the products they carry. If you have or can find someplace like that fairly local to you, it is well worth your while to patronize them.

Some tanks have a glass tube which is 100% unattached to the metal frame (and sealing O-rings) of the tank.

Maybe you could dismantle it completely, check out how it works, put it back together and make an assessment. If the glass is undamaged and you have the O-rings and metal components, you are in with a chance.

Yes, with most of them the glass just sits there, clamped in between two o-rings and held in place by pressure applied down the barrel/chimney when the tank is assembled. I would try taking it apart and reassembling it. And if you bought the Topbox kit, the tank is usually comes with is called the "Toptank." You could search for "Kanger Toptank Parts" if you need any. There should be a diagram for the tank on the Kanger site.
