umm.. is that the only glue you have??
I'd be a bit scared to even try to glue an atty back together..

I have gorilla glue and straight super glue. It is a glass to stainless steel connection on a pro tank.
I used aquarium glue once on a stardust when the plastic separated from bottom threading...says after its dry its non toxic
I'd be afraid to use it.

Seriously....post in the modder's section. They know all there is to know about what to use and what dissolves in e-juice and what doesn't.
I use an epoxy in my mods...but I don't have it in contact with the juice. It is used to seal the connector so juice leaks don't get into the mod. But....IDK if it is juice-contact safe so I won't name it.

I agree with ingerri, if it isn't safe for living organisms, assume it isn't safe for vaping gear. I used to have aquariums, and any little thing could kill fish. So if it is safe for them, I assume it is safe for us.
careful with the gorilla glue, it is a polyurethane base that expands as it cures. In applications related to wood it has proven to be quite useless. The company claims it is amazing, but then again what would you expect them to say? Any test I have seen makes Elmers look superior. (for wood anyway). I would still use the super glue.
I will ask a moderator to move this thread. You are right, it really belongs there anyway.

Wow, not really. Gorilla glue has a different application in woodworking, namely to hold a joint in moist environments. Its widely used in woodworking. Once cured, its impervious to moisture. Therein lies the rub, give it full time to cure, and then 24 hours to be safe.
However, it DOES expand like crazy so I don't know if I'd risk it expanding into the tank interior. That'd be hard to clear out.
There are certain properties in adhesives that need to be comprehended for the intended usage. For vaping, I would study the coefficient of thermal expansion, transition temperature, surface properties, adhesive outgassing, cure time, strength etc. DO NOT just summarily pick an adhesive to put in a device that you use to inhale/ingest material from.

I've been told super glue is safe(cyanacrolyte), I imagine aquarium sealer would definitely be safe. As long as they aren't near enough to the coil to melt. I would not trust gorilla glue
Whatever you decide, be very careful to not get any glue inside. I've read of some here on ECF using super / crazy glue to reattach the head or base back on the pyrex of the Protank. Remember that these glues are NOT filler type glues, so make sure both surfaces are clean and smooth.
Apparently some early production runs of the Protank had a faulty glue, but later runs seem to be ok.

Actually, I repaired a split coffee table with Gorilla glue and a scraper.
Just wet both sides (very dry wood on a 40 yo table) and used bar clamps to keep it together.
Scrapped off the stuff that expanded out, and was able to even STAND on it the following day.
But for anything you are going to put in your mouth... I would not use gorilla glue. I will stick with my suggestion of silicone fishtank glue.
Probably not safe for an atomizer, since it's not impervious to extended heat
