I thought that might be it, or some of it, especially after just cracking one myself easily not long ago!
I've learned to hold the tip/top band ONLY between my thumb and forefinger while unscrewing the bottom, without touching the side of the tanks at all. I think it's a poor design that causes this, the think plastic in there plus no grip on that base makes for an easy cracking session just waiting to happen!
TFA one tastes good, so yes give it a try! VZ SC is probably better, or equally good, not sure, but I know you get to use a lot less of the SC so I've been waiting to try it and it just keeps getting pushed back on my list because I never have enough $$ to score at VZ at the right time (During the sales)
Hope the T3 test turns out OK for you, I'd hate to see a good tank lost just for this reason! Don't you have a older tank you don't use anymore that you could try instead? Should be OK since souldeaterzer0 said he's been using @ 2% in CE4's though, so hopefully it'll be alright!
