My glass tank fell and cracked

[dubctor]

Hey guys,

I just recently started vaping and was recommended the eleaf ijust2, it's got a nice big tank that shows all of the liquid in it and recently it fell of my desk and landed right on the tank. I heard a very light crack, not the usual glass shattering sound and when i checked, the tank glass was cracked. The crack is not huge, when i swiped my finger i felt some liquid, possibly a very small leak.

I bought this from a vaping shop in town and I'm not sure if they replace it or will fix it, it's hard for me to go there again because i work nights and they open late in the morning (usually when I'm already sleeping). So I just surrounded the glass with regular tape, the seethrough plastic one and just added a very tight layer around the glass to make sure it doesn't drip.

So my question is. Firstly, do you think the shop will replace it? And secondly, will there be any harm of vaping with the tape around the cracked glass? I think that the glue itself may melt through the crack and I'd be inhaling glue mixed up with e-liquid. So far I haven't noticed any difference, possibly because I'm still new to it.

Also, the button is somewhat different since it fell but I don't really want to complain about it since it's actually smoother than before and it seems to be less sensitive, it doesn't make that "tick" anymore, it's like a soft cushioned button.

I wouldn't expect them to replace it since it's not defective, just broken. You might want to use plumber's/teflon tape against the glass rather than scotch, although you may do more damage trying to remove the tape you already applied. The shop may sell replacement glass and might be able to inspect your mod for damage (and it should be looked over, if something inside jarred loose the safety features may not be fully functional.)

Sorry your vape took a nosedive!

I'm sorry to hear that you cracked your tank.

We have all done it, several times.

The shop will not replace the tank. You broke it not them.

If you're lucky they may sell you some replacement glass, but it is not likely they stock it.

You will be able to find a replacement glass tank for sale online. Try the tank manufacturers website first, then FastTech, then general 'google' searches.

I doubt the small amount of glue from some tape will do you any harm, but I wouldn't personally like to vape on on taped up cracked tank.

Thank you guys, you've been very helpful. I guess I'll sacrifice some hours of sleep to see if they sell that glass replacement. If not, I'll just look it up online.

Thanks!

They aren't going to replace it. your going to have to buy new glass.

I have an iJust 2, and I haven't been able to get the tanks apart. I like taking my tanks apart to clean them but haven't had any luck with these. I quit trying out of fear of breaking then, so I don't know for sure.

I've unscrewed the tank a couple of time, more carefully now that it's broken. But the glass seems very resistant.

Just be aware that FastTech doesn't always live up to their name when it comes to shipping.. You know the old joke about a slow boat to China? They ship some of their stuff on that boat.

There stuff takes at least 2 weeks to ship, at least to the US. That is what I have found

Those are for the Lemo Drop though. Are you sure they fit the ijust2?

I've been there myself - had a tight coil when I was new to my Nautilus Mini and trying to free it the thing flew out of my hand and hit the marble floor shattering all over the place. It was my fault, I dropped it, so I bought a couple replacement glass inserts as spares to keep as well as one to fit.

The first Law of Vaping really does apply - always have back ups for your back ups!

I'm now more careful - bet you will be too!

Oh yes. I definitely got a kick to the balls.

Sorry dubcor if it came across like that - was attempting to show that I too learnt the hard way - as a determined ex smoker I quickly got on board with the idea of plenty back ups rather than heading for the tobacconists if something died.

Actually here in Spain at this moment, I have two iStick 30ws topped with Nautilus Minis ( spare glass shells held in stock in my drawer plus four packs of coils for same. Then there's my Kamry K1000 e pipe with another Nautilus Mini tank on board ( and two spare battteries) ...and just in case, 6 small ego batteries and two clearatomisers. Add to that God knows how many chargers, as you get one with each iStick, and vape pen set and there's the one my son in law bought me with the Kamry.....

AS for supplies of Juice....welll
