Hi
just wondering if any one can give me some advice
My vape tank cracked and I've went a cut open my hand. I did get liquid in it (1.8 strength) and just wondering if there could be any potential issues or if i should seek medical advice. Cut is pretty deep but dont need stitched up.
I'm a trained first aider so done a good job cleaning up and making sure no glass in the cut but dont know if im being silly worrying over nothing. Feel like i am since im alright smoking it haha

any advice appreciated, thanks ash

At first I thought the issue was where can I get a replacement glass.

For the cut, wash, rinse, bandage. Done. There really is not enough nicotine to worry about so long as you rinse. You'll probably absorb more when you chain vape to relax from the experience.

Don't know the tank, but if you run into problems finding a replacement, Fasttech is always a top source for odds and ends like that. The shipping takes a while and as @JCinFLA pointed out get a few, not just one. Sooner or later it will be used.

Ouch. Hope it heals soon. Don't know if it would have helped -- I use a vape band. I've only broken one tank and I think it was from me regularly knocking it over -- it just gave. So now I have a vape band and it helps prevent it.

It won't help if the juice cracked it but it will help protect from bumps and falls.

Lots of places have them - here's what they look like.

I use vape bands on the glass tanks I HAVE. I am sort of a big fan of protected glass (somehow though, seem to be having decent luck with the Siren V2 glass but otherwise? LOL, I always sort of hope there is a plastic tank included with some of my tanks. I've also gone "fancy metal overlay" on some of my glass tanks, if I can find one. Honestly not because I need fancy metal mesh over my tanks, but for me it is Cost Effective and etc.
