RamyZ, your banner doesn't show your location, but most any vape shop in your town will carry Kanger tanks and most likely the actual replacement glass tank itself. People drop them and break them all the time. If they don't, then you can buy a new tank at the vape shop and order the replacement glass tank for the atomizer that needs it.

We all need backups, and backups for our backups. Then, there's no reason to want a cigarette when you are trying to quit. Every vaper needs at least two of most everything!

Thanks for the tip Chellie...I know people keep talking about dropping them or turning too tight...I swear neither apply to me..I can be clumsy but had been home sick in bed the morning after I bought it and I have a torn rotator cuff on my dominate side. I will check into those rings though!!
A torn Rotator cuff is no fun - get well soon. As far as the pressure on glass - I worked with slot machines that are built with thick and strong glass on the face of the machines. Folks would get ...... (or drunk or whatever) and punch the machine as hard as they could and it would not break. I've seen it. And then someone else would barely tap it in a non-violent way or at a certain angle and boom --it shattered.

So when I handle my tanks I just try not to touch the glass.

It is a good idea when you order a tank to order a spare glass tube if one is not included. Fasttech usually has most popular tank extras in stock so check them before ordering from more expensive channels.

Great info, Chellie! I'd also add that it helps to put a drop of juice on the o-rings when you install the glass or polycarbonate tank to help the cap screw into place easily without galling or twisting the o-rings. It's also a good way to prevent future leakage.
