New Pro Tank Glue Issue

[tcgenius]

Last week I received a visa gift card for my birthday. I used it to buy a kanger pro tank. When the pro tank arrived I washed it out with soap and water and let it dry. Once it was dry, I put some tobacco flavor juice and was about to smoke vape it when ejuce started to pour out between the glass and the chrome. I was not able to vape it even once. I have read that some ejuice can break down the glue. The tank is made out of glass. What kind of glue can I use to glue it back together?

Send it back to the vendor. They will happily replace it for you im sure.

I just sent the vendor an email. I was worried because a lot of vendors have a disclaimer about atomizers. I wasn't sure if it would be considered DOA

Same thing happened to me with my first one about a week after I bought it, so at least, I got to vape with it. I don't think it was your tobacco juice that did it. It was probably just a bad one from the manufacturer. I would contact the vendor. I did, and they got a replacement in the mail that day with a pre-paid postage label for me to send the defective one back. The replacement is in rotation with no issues (almost a month now).

Sorry to hear about this...nothing more frustrating than gear that goes kaput. Good luck.

I agree with the others, it's not the juice. It's a defect. I have 5 pro tanks. I specifically use them instead of my Evods when trying out likely tank busting juices and I've never had a problem. If you bought it from a reputable vendor, they shouldn't have any problems doing an exchange.

I was told not to clean the Protank with superhot water - it causes that glue melting issue on the metal. Weird huh? Hot water?

I can't say that I used "super hot water" but is was on the upper end of warm. I had to clean it because it smelled like a milling machina and oil when it arrived. Anyway, I sent an email to the seller. They were extremely nice and helpful when I placed my order. I am sure they will do what they can to help me.

I had one leak like that also, same place, same reason, within 6 hours of taking out of the box. My local vendor thought I dropped it, but gave me another anyway.
My second one I did drop and the threads that screw into the battery absolutely came apart inside my ego type battery.
I read on this forum that this is a common problem.
I still like the smoke it gives me though, although it is a bit airy.

yeah mine did the same thing. Sent it back, gotvapes exchanged it. Never used it again anyway, cuz its a POS, but...

The Pro tanks seems like a bad tank,all i hear is it falls apart.

My.protank has grown on me but mine came slightly crooked like the leaning tower and bugs me but otherwise works. I just like them for the glass tank as allot of my liquids are tank crackers. On a side note I somehow got my iclear30s to actually vape decent so my protank is getting a little less use.

A glass vivi Nova would be perfect for me anyways. I just don't like the plastic and even the metal vivi novas have a plastic window except for the minis that I have found so far.

 

[Hippieangst]

MyVaporStore and FastTech have all metal Vivi Novas... MyVaporStore also has just the metal tube to replace your plastic one.

I don;t know usually I have the worst luck but I've had 0 issues with my Protanks. One of them even survived a fall from the table to the hardwoods. QC dropps the ball sometimes thats why every retail store has a returns counter. Don't let a few horror stories dissuade you from trying IMO a great clearo.

Wow, I'm going to blame the keyboard for that last post. I know I can type better than that.lol

We've lost too many to the hardwoods.

Venders are dumping Old Stock hot and heavy right now - Known issues
Newly released Updated Protanks are now arriving in the US.

I bought the pro tank based on some good experience I have read about on this forum. It also got a great review from PBusardo. It sounds like they are great when they are free from defects. Too bad...

Had the same happen to me. Replaced it and it seems good after a few weeks. I have cleaned it but only use warm water.
