Help! Tiny crack in my Volcano Inferno Tank

[dvo352]

So I see a tiny crack at the top of my inferno tank/cartomizer. Its at the seal so its not a problem yet but I feel it will start to spread. For now it seems to smoke fine, maybe even a little better because of the airflow (or so I'm rationalizing). Is there any trick to fixing this? I thought about using a glue to just seal it back up but I'm afraid that could be toxic lol. It fell into the crack of my bed and I didn't think it was such a big deal till I saw the tiny crack. At first I thought it was just something stuck to it but after cleaning the tank, it didn't disappear so I know its a crack now.

Perhaps epoxy? I'm no chemist and have no idea what chemical reaction may/may not occur with the juice. I'd probably just replace the tank and not have to worry about it.

The crack is almost at the very top and not touching the liquid at all. Seems like I can/should be able to patch it up easily. But without any idea as to whether or not its safe, I don't want to try. Its my only tank and I can't go for a week without vaping.

I don't blame you. You should be ok as long as you don't completely fill the tank. Extra tanks are always a good idea, too.

It will likely fail sooner or later. I would order another tank asap.

Get a bottle of Ambroid Pro Weld to fix the cracks. Pro Weld is a plastic solvent, not a glue. So after it evaporates there is nothing there that can leach into the e-liquid. It costs 4$ and change for probably a life time supply.
Good Luck

Thanks! Where would I get a bottle locally? Hardware store?

You're welcome. Usually hardware shops or hardware stores. You could also buy a Metal Vivi Nova Tank.
Good Luck.

Do you know if epoxy or silicone will work safely? I feel like just a needle dipped into the epoxy or silicone and then dipped onto the tank might work. Its such a small crack. I don't even think its fully cracked all the way through to the otherside. I went to my local hardware store and I realized just how limited they were. Looks like I'll have to go to home depot and hope they have Ambroid Pro Weld.
