Recently after filling my tank and screwing the bottom on the lower metal started to spin and came off the glass. What can I use to reattach that would be safe around my ejuice?

How old is the tank of new if be calling the vendor back. I'd be sending email to kangertech too.

Jb weld might work but Idk how it would react to juices is got to be something good cause it's metal against glass

I have one of the newer protanks version 1.5 for lack of anything else to call it and the glass tank is loose. I'm going to try sealing it with silicone aquarium sealer. It has to be non-toxic or it wouldn't be usable in aquarium's and silicone is used all over in these tanks.

I wouldn't recommend using other types of silicone adhesive since it could be possible that there are toxic additives in them to provide better adhesion to the surfaces they are intended for so why risk it.

you can use epoxy adhesive. it is safe when it solid because it can resist chemical and it can stand the temperature up to 177 degrees C.

Wikipedia said:
Epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives" or "engineering adhesives" (that includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and other chemistries.) These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and other applications where high strength bonds are required. Epoxy adhesives can be developed to suit almost any application. They can be used as adhesives for wood, metal, glass, stone, and some plastics. They can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque/colored, fast setting or slow setting. Epoxy adhesives are better in heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. In general, epoxy adhesives cured with heat will be more heat- and chemical-resistant than those cured at room temperature. The strength of epoxy adhesives is degraded at temperatures above 350 °F (177 °C).[7]
