Perhaps some of you have noticed that I talk about switching to tanks like the PT2 because they are glass, metal, and have no glue. As some of us know, there is juice out there that can break down plastic in tanks. PG, VG, Nic, and flavorings are of course the main ingredients in the juice we vape and I care not to have additional unintended ingredients in my juice like plastic and glue particulates. I'm no chemist but I can only assume that the plastic and glue are fairly toxic. I think Kanger made there PT2's glueless to eliminate the problem of juice deteriorating the glue that attached the metal to the glass. I also think they too realized the potential of toxicity.

Any tank that is clear plastic runs the likely risk of breaking down and contaminating the juice you are vaping. I think this is something the FDA would love to harp on to justify regulating or banning juice, tanks, etc.

People freaked out about carcinogens in plastic bottles and containers making products that are BPA free. Imagine what potential toxins from plastics we could be vaping in juice that is being heated by a coil and ingested into the lungs.

Perhaps I'm looking too much into this but I'll stay on the safer side of caution and use glass and glueless tanks.

I don't believe you're overthinking it at all. I one of the reasons I purchased PT2s was the fact that you can break them down and clean each part. You wouldn't clean a tupperware bowl, but not the lid, right?

I still use my PT1 and my T3s, but I'll be purchaseing more PT2s in the future. Probably two or three more. I'm gonna do colors so I can dedicate specific tanks for types of juice.
