Tank glass broke by itself

[swish]

Something strange happened yesterday where I had a OBS MTL tank already filled with ejuice for about a day and all was good.

The tank was sitting on my desk had not been dropped or anything. Then I noticed the glass has cracked. Was wondering has this happened to another of you?

Maybe you over tightened it when you put it back together after the last rebuild?

How do you transport it? Could have clipped it, done it myself.

Ahh possibly, didn't think about that.

I just put it in my coat pocket most of them time or in the car door holder thingy, when I'm driving.

Someone else recent blamed the cold weather for the break.
It could have been broke before and not noticed.
That is FT best product,real cheap but does take planning ahead.
BTW welcome to the glass break club.

When I clipped my tank and cracked the glass, it was in a jacket pocket. Must have caught it against something when putting on or taking off.

But in your case swish, could be similar or entirely different.

Glass is annoying in that a tiny crack no matter how small will eventually expand to traverse the entire surface. It’s possible that it was cracked earlier but the crack was too small at the time and not visible until it propagated.

There is nowhere stated that it utilizes pyrex or PMMA tank.
Tanks from PC may crack if your juice contains cinnamon,citrus,menthol,etc.

I actually have had the same thing.

I look down one day and it looks like there is a Hair in my RTA. But it Wasn't a Hair. It was a Very Fine Crack in the glass.

No Clue when it Happened? Or what Caused it? But there it was.

Fortunately replacement glass is cheap. You should have a second on the box. I usually order a bunch of extra glass as a just in case for my tanks from FT. It's insurance against events like that, which always happen at the most inconvenient times.

That (to Me) is where FT really Shines.

For something you Don't need right away. But when you Do Need It, you have it. And it Didn't cost you much to Get It.

It has happened to me too. The problem with glass is it's so brittle, you can relatively easily stress it so it takes a bit of time before it finally cracks. Plus there can be stress from the manufacturing process. I don't use any plastic cracking flavorings, so I can get away with and much prefer plastic tanks for durability.
