Heat resistant/Metal tanks?

I'm no noob when it comes to vaping. I started with a pen vape and moved to sub-ohm about two years ago now. My issue is that lately I've been stressed out so much that I vape a lot more. It's still less nicotine than I was doing but the thing is that my tank glass keeps cracking when I use my vape that much. Is there a tank design that will keep this from happening, or would it just be better for me to go with a drip vape mod?

Glass should not be cracking from heat. Usually tanks are made of Pyrex and only break due to drops or banging them. Possibly a bad O-Ring allowing metal to contact the glass would crack it when heated but something doesn't sound right. Good Luck

What tank are you using?

You may want to look into RTAs with metal tanks or squonking @Witch4life

Dripping is a pain in the rear IMO
 
Lol thanks for the welcome @SteveS45 and @JuicyLucy currently I'm using a Stick V8 Smok mod w/ the original tank. The glass broke the first time while I was sitting in a chair just watching a movie. The second time I was at home and in bed. I started vaping and in about 15 minutes I noticed a crack in the tank. So maybe I'll look into those tanks mentioned before...does anyone have any suggestions?

Could possible have something to do with the juice you're vaping. Some types of juices, such as citrus, used to be hard on tanks. Not sure if that's changed as I rarely vape those types of flavors.

Interesting thought but from my memory I thought that was only plastic tanks that Citrus Affected? Making me think here~!

It has been a while since I had that problem. I remember glass cracking with some older Kanger tanks.

You might be screwing the tank together a little too tight.
