Super serious question...

[Fidola13]

I’ve got one on my aromamizer plus, but only because it came with one and it’s a whole lot of glass. I have nothing against them though. If I happened to have one that fit my berserker mini I might use it. I don’t though.

Yeah I use one on both my Aromizers and Supremes v1s.

 

[DeloresRose]

Ive never used them because I’m simply too lazy to be bothered. I’ve only broken two glasses in the last three years anyway, also because I’m just too lazy to be bothered.

 

[AngeNZ]

Used to use them on my first 22mm mtl tank, was paranoid about it breaking

Then I got a 24mm Zenith tank which broke my favourite vape band

Now I just keep my fingers and toes crossed that I won't break my tanks

 

[Coyote628]

I am not big on them either. Of course, I started back when mods were carved from stone with flint tools and atomizers were hand crafted by coppersmiths.

Wow. We used to chew tobacco and spit on a hot rock to get vapor production.

 

[Jet Knight]

Have a couple of them, thought I'd give it a shot, but dubious glass protection and just got lazy. Besides, I like the looks of my tanks without much decor.

You're going to drop a lot of mods that way.

Funny, I was just thinking about this.

For awhile I used smaller tanks, the 18mm Mini Buddha (same size as a Protank 2) and there are no vape bands that fit. I still got some freebies with orders over the years. Found out that some cellphone retail boxes use small rubber bands on their packaged USB cables that fit 18mm perfectly, so I've been using those. Now, though, I'm on to a 22mm Simba tank and I can't find any of those old bands for it.

I’ve been lurking and vaping and vaping and lurking and I noticed in the picture of your setup thread no one has those band things on their atomizers to protect them. Do you guys not use those or are you taking them off for the picture?

Curiosity. It gets me every time.

I havent used them in a long time.
i think most of my broken tanks I had them in the cold too long and would use it and I would use it and the heat would make it crack or vise versa.. i used the bands even two and it kept happening. idk if it was cheaper glass (SMOK) but havent had that problem with my kylin (even with bubble tank) and zenith so far and I vape in sub zero temps but I try to not have it in the cold very long.

I started using them around a year ago on Lemo tanks. The main reason though was to help keep track of what juice was in each tank since I had 3 identical ones. Never did break a glass tank. The bands are pretty ugly with stuff like JUST VAPE IT and FOG MACHINE printed on them but I'm not vain about my gear.

 

[Philabos]

Same here.
I have two identical Ares. Vape band on only one so I can tell them apart for juicing.

 

[muth]

I use one on a Freemax Mesh Pro. The top slides for the ability to fill from above. The problem is that the top slides, hence the use of a vape band. Looks ridiculous but was the only way the top wouldn't slide, by keeping the band around the top and the glass.

Oh hey, thx for the tip. I use a band on the original Bachelor RTA because of the swing away top fill. Problem is, it always swings away. Lost a lot of juice in the past. Just got a Freemax Mesh Pro so I'll keep an eye on that slider

 

[Jebbn]

They mess up the clean flowing lines of a good looking atty.

 

[sonicbomb]

Own them, never used one. If I break a tank I just replace the glass with a spare.

 

[madstabber]

I don’t have any and have never used one. I think all my tanks came with spare glass and I’ve yet to need them. I probably shouldn’t have wrote that because now I’ll most likely break several over the next few days after six years without issue.

 

[Letitia]

Haven’t used one since I put the tfv4 in the closet, used it to keep top fill closed when out and about.

 

[United States]

Yup, every one of my tanks have at least one. Some to keep track of the flavor, some to add logos from my favorite vape shops and some to actually give the Zenith tanks a fighting chance if dropped since the outter metal shell makes replacing glass less than easy.

My pods get them as grip assistance, my edc flashlight has one for a grip ring and I wear them on a finger every now and then.

I started to use them after I broke a tank and they work for me. Tip you vape over and where the tank would hit the surface is where I position it. I like them. I even bought a different kind that has a mouthpiece attached.

 

[bubba106]

I have ten tanks,everyone has a vape band. I say better safe than sorry, as far as looks, ehhh, this aint no fashion show as far as I'm concerned.

 

[gpjoe]

I have a pile of vape bands but never use them - RDAs don't break

The bands are handy for getting a good grip on stubborn RDA caps though...
