See if this works.

oh I forgot, you can go to SMOK’s website and punch in the authentication code to verify the tank. Scroll down this page and punch that number in. I think SMOK has always had ups and downs with their QC, so it could just be faulty glass, or something on the tank getting to tight, etc…

I have been using sub ohm tanks up until recently, switched over to an RTA.
Serpent SMM to be exact.
For all the sub ohm tanks that I have used, TFV8 baby and big baby beasts,
whenever I chain vape, the tank gets really really hot and I have always hated that.
Now, with the RTA, I never have that issue anymore which is wonderful.
I was thinking that it might just break the glass because of the change in temperature. Heating up and then cooling down so often but it never did. But glad I don’t have to deal with the hot tanks anymore.

Was actually able to find a local shop where I bought 3 glasses. Most of our shops only sell kits and liquid.

Is it possible you’re over tightening it?

Same base? it cant be round somewhere on either end…cut your loses man and get a new base or diff tank

You know, I think that makes the most sense here. There’s something wonky with the metal and its not sitting right with the glass.

I’ve got a spare tank so I’m going to put a new glass in it and see. It could be I’m over tightening but any looser and it would leak. Only me. 
I wonder if the flavorings could be doing it. This is my Area 51 clone, has a lot of caramel in it.

Flavors shouldn’t affect a glass tank…

You do have a top and bottom o ring? if you do I would suggest the Jesse has it right something is not quite right with either the top or the base or you a super tightening it

Yes and actually replaced all the seals (more than once) because of the leaking.

Does it keep cracking in the same place? The same way?
Have you checked for imperfections under the o-rings?
I think you’ve overtightened it I done it once on the kylin wasn’t paying attention and kept tightening them heard the dreaded crack

I have anouther friend who went through 3 glasses on a tfv12 too. He broke 2 out of 3 of them by just knocking them over on a table. Maybe their just super easy to break? I’ve never owned the '12 but don’t have any issues with the tfv8.

I have IJOY CIGPET ECO12. It is full analog of TFV12.
There is no any problem with glass.

I wouldn’t mind trying a clone as long as it works. I’ll check into that.
Has anyone had any success building your own seals? The one I have trouble with is the white one that covers the top of the tank.

So with this steamcrave, I will need to build the coils right? Fortunately Vapeymama has given me a head start on how to do that. I’m interested in a large reliable tank.

Yep, yep! And it doesn’t have to be a super complicated or complex build. 
@Cutlass92 and I played around making Clapton’s and stuff for a while, but honestly get better flavor out of twisted SS. (Psssst, it was mainly Cutlass. 
)
