The actual glass that holds the e-liquid on any SMOK branded tanks is made from Pyrex. Although it holds the juice well and fits in line with kitchenware glass, to make it safe to vape from, the glass itself can become easily damaged. If you drop your SMOK tank directly onto the floor outdoors, chances are you have broken the glass. Even if the glass has a tiny crack inside it, it is recommended that you change it right away. This is because the crack can become larger and expand over time, this will eventually cause e-liquid to leak through the glass. You also don't want to risk the chances of vaping glass particles is found in your vape tank. Changing the glass is a straightforward process, it is quick and easy if you know how to do it correctly. Before changing the glass, it's essential that you follow this guide. I have changed glasses in the past and I have cracked some doing so.

You may think a Pyrex glass is just a glass, however, there are original replacements by SMOK and third-party companies make them for half the price. You tend to get a lot of unofficial glasses come up on eBay. They are usually cheap for a reason, they are constructed very poorly and made from cheap materials. This results in them being more prone to cracks and being damaged. I had purchased a cheap one from eBay a non-official product just to test out the quality. I got 5 replacement Pyrex glass for $10, not bad for the price, right? Well, the first one I fitted cracked within a day and majority of them didn't fit correctly in line with the SMOK TFV8 baby tank causing nothing but leaking issues. If you don't want any problems with fitment, then I suggest you only purchase original parts by SMOK.
You might not even have to purchase a replacement SMOK vape tank glass replacement part. They always provide a spare in the box. So, if you still have the cardboard packaging the tank came in, have a look because there is most likely a spare glass inside there. This will save you having to purchase a replacement from your SMOK tank. Five pawns is the first American super premium juice brand that are made with high quality ingredients, its something to consider once you have fixed your broken vape tank.
Once you have obtained your replacement glass for your SMOK tank, you will need to fix it. This guide will help you.
1) Unscrew the SMOK vape tank with the broken glass of your battery mod.
2) Hold the top part of the vape tank, just below the bottom of the mouthpiece and twist the bottom part off anticlockwise. Keep doing this until the bottom half comes off.
3) Pull the glass off from the top of the vape tank and throw it away. While you have now already taken your vape tank apart, its recommend that you clean it, as you don't want any unwanted glass particles in your vape tank. This can be done by rinsing all metal parts under the tap. Please don't wash the vape oil, as this will damage it.
4) Make sure the rubber seals, also known as 'O' rings are attached to the top and bottom half of the tank firmly. It’s good to check these are seated properly now, as later it can cause leaking problems.
5) Place the glass carefully onto the top part of the vape tank, connecting it directly onto the top part. Don't place any strong force with your hand, this will not make it fit any better and could risk cracking the brand-new glass. Something that I have done before in the past when changing the glass on my vape tank.
6) Reattach the bottom half onto the glass and screw it clockwise until it tightens. Remember don't overtighten it, as once you have done this, the glass will harder to remove later when it comes to changing the coil. Which means you will have to apply lots of force and pressure when you try to remove it off, again risking it breaking. You need to be careful with the glass when handling it.
7) Now that you changed the glass, you will need to test it for leaks. Fill up the glass up to a quarter of the tanks capacity. Close the bottom air holes and let it sit upright for at least ten minutes. This will give you sufficient times to identify if the vape tank will leak or not. This way if it does, you can recheck the seals and not waste lots of e-liquid.
