If your tank leaks right after you fill it up, it’s because you left the airflow hole or the e-juice hole open.

This creates a path for the e-liquid to travel while you are filling up and even doesn’t stop after closing the tank. That is because a favorable path has been provided for the e-liquid to travel and leak out of the airflow holes. I can’t stress this enough, make sure to close your tank’s airflow and e-juice holes before filling it up.

BigBen2k is doing an experiment with glass, he might be able to help/take it off your hands. Try to find a B&M to replace it if your out of tanks.

They make "glass glue", but it would have to be a special type of glass glu /glass contact cement that would be "culinary safe" that way you know you are not inhaling some chemicals your body wouldn't react well too.

Why not super glue? Those CA glues turn to stone when they are cured. Dentists use CA adhesives to repair teeth, so toxicity cannot be an issue. I would clean that tank in an ultrasonic and use a toothpick and carefully put CA in that crack and follow with an accelerator. The adhesive will cure instantly.
