I have a knock-off of a protank(made by "L-Smoke") and I noticed it was leaking a bit around the base so I put electrical tape around it to stop the leak....

Today I noticed the tank was 'leaning' to the side and I took the tape off to check it out and there was a hole in my tank almost all the way around where the plastic meets the metal that looks like someone took a saw and made a cut.... Is my juice melting the tank?! I use a house blend from a shop in Chicago of a 'marlboro red' type flavor with 24 mg nic level... I have also put the 'Haus' e-juice from walmart(tobacco flavor) in this tank.

I am worried.... I put more tape on to secure it, but I don't want to inhale the plastic from the tank or the electrical tape if it is leeching into my juice.:mad::mad::mad::vapor::vapor::vapor:

It IS melting your tank!

Plastic tanks are prone to melting depending on the juice you put inside 'em. While it's rarer, NET's can indeed melt the plastic!

I suggest you STOP using that tank IMMEDIATELY. Get a new tank, chuck the melted one. Consider investing in a glass tank. You said you have a knock-off ProTank, why not go ahead and get a real ProTank (or Aerotank)? They're only 20-35$, and they're certainly reliable. Also glass.

Key point is though: Do not use plastic tanks. Especially ones that have already begun to crack/melt.

Wow, yeah they have all organic flavors so I would say it's a safe bet they have NET flavoring... damn. I just spent all my money on a mechmod and I cant drip this 24mg!!! I took a few hits of 24mg from a dripper the first time I used one, thought it was a 0 bottle.... That was a fun few hours shaking and itching and laying down to not puke. GAH
