Up, Down, or Horizontal? How do you do it?
Just a poll to see how most store or position their pv between vapes. Do you keep the LED pointed up, so no juice leaks down the cart? Do you keep the LED pointed down, so the atty stays wet? Or do you lay it horizontal and hope for the best? Or all the above?
Of course, if you have no LED, you know which end we're talking about... 
EDIT: These questions are based on a 510 model. Other models may vary.

I think I read that it is best to leave the unit horizontal even when momentarily not in use so that some e-liquid does not a) drip into the battery, or b) leak into the mouthpiece or away from the atomizer.
Good poll and important question, HighTech.

I store mine LED down to keep the juice from leaking out of the cart.

You mean LED UP? At least with a 510, keeping the LED down would allow juice to leak down on the atty. Keeping it UP would keep the juice in the cart.

LED down to keep the atty 'moist'!

I voted horizontal. The only time I can't is when I'm mobil and have to put it in my pocket - then I try for LED up, though it often ends up horizontal anyway.

LED down... or, more accurately, cartridge up, so I can pull the e-cig out of my PCC with my teeth one-handed.

Most often it's horizontal when I'm not using it. I just set it down on whatever table. I do find myself sliding it in my bra strap pretty often though (alot of women's bottoms don't have pockets
), and then it's at a bit of an angle.

When I've just topped up I keep it LED up so the atty doesn't flood. If I've been chaining it and the atty is getting hot, LED down to help with wicking. Other times, horizontal.

I go with LED down. If it's in my hand, even when driving, it's LED down. Same way if I put it down in my car, I balance it by my radio since my cup holders are all nastyfied and I'm not putting it in there! If I am at my computer and I put it down, it goes LED down, usually in or against the box that it came in.
