Plastic tube to glass?

[Brend]

Pretty new to all this ecig stuff and need some help.

My new tank has a plastic tube that is threaded top & bottom.

I would like to replace the plastic tube with a glass one.

Is this possible?

Are there glass tubes out there that are threaded top & bottom?

As a general rule, no. Threading on atomizers is fine, and machining or molding those threads on glass would be difficult and costly... in other words, not cost effective.
Even with expensive atomizers, like the Kayfun - arguably the most popular high end RBA ever made - no one has attempted to make threaded glass.
Recently in fact, glass tanks are being made for the Kayfun by small specialty shops - they include threaded metal fittings which screw onto the atomizer base and top, then the straight glass cylinder is sealed with o-rings - basically a carto tank type housing, that fits over the Kayfun base atomizer.

The cost of these Kayfun conversions (alone) would keep you in plastic clearos for 1-2 years. ;-)

Thanks for the information.
Conversion pieces I hadn't thought of.
I'll have to look into that.
ibtanked was mentioned on another thread - checked them - seems the
only threaded tube they have is for a ViVi - best I could learn searching around,
is those threads are on the inside of the glass tube not the outside as my new one has.
I was planning to pick up a couple backup tubes at local B&M place for
kanger mini II & hoped to do the same for my new unit, which they don't sell.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed that using the plastic tube is still better than analogs.

Might want to read that description again...

"This is a Borosilicate Glass tube for the Vivi Tank. This is not the Vivi Nova that has the threaded end caps."

From IBT page Vivi Tube​

There are plenty of glass tube clearos - or glassomizers available. Protank, Davide, Nautilus - to name a few. Might want to look at those.

Cheers
