A thing to watch if you are flying.

My trusty Ego Twist with 510 atomizer and a small bottle of liquid.
That has gotten me through many flights through the years.

I like to use old pill bottles, put a bit of cotton in the bottom, the full tank in upside down, and then a little more cotton. I've flown to European a couple of times now and never had a problem with a leak. Seems the pill bottle helps protect against pressure changes as long as you don't open them in-flight!

Another thing for me to try. I'm on the flight now and put an almost empty tank double bagged. Let's see how it fares

I love experimenting to find a easier option

That is a great idea! Brilliant. Thank you for sharing. I'm doing this when I fly now.

I fly around 3 - 4 times a year and have found that if I don't fill them right up AND more importantly have the tanks upside down, I get no leakage. Tried it with different tanks with success

 

[Zakillah]

Yeah, +1 for upside down.
I never had leaks this way.
A friend of mine did it on the first flight, no leaks, decided to chance it (or forgot) on the flight back, bam, leakage.

Update (now that I have a second) the double bag trick didn't work. Upside down works every time.

Merry Christmas everyone

Another option is to fly with an atomizer that uses filler material instead of relying on pressure. Cartomizers use a filler material so your cigalikes won't leak. RBAs like the GP Spheroid, GP Heron, and Prometey use a filler material instead of relying on pressure and will not leak.

You know, I always wondered...why doesn't this happen to the cans of carbonated beverages they're constantly opening in flight?

Because the can itself is highly pressurized. If you ever get on a Dreamliner the newer Boeing based planes people have reported that due to he high pressurization of the new cabins tanks don't leak.

I have yet to ride one.

Altitude changes, pressure changes, and drastic temperature changes can all cause leaky tanks. One of the many reasons I drip

Although, last time I drove through the mountains with a bf device, I ended up with a flooded atty as well.

Tanks are NOT sealed storage containers. If you could fill one completely, it would immediately start leaking and likely continue to do so if not attended to.
Any air(normal bubble) will expand and push liquid out.
A less than full tank, upside down, with wicks fully out of E-liquid has the best chance of Not Leaking.
Partially filled, upside down - Safe simple solution.

My upside down trick works for me every time. Watch, tomorrow it will fail

you know it will Robin.... you have the Karma

 

[Robino1]

Ha!!! It didn't fail

Very interesting topic and I feel like I will need to add a link to this in the description of my latest video on youtube

Like others have said, just flip the tank upside-down. Of course, this is assuming the juice feed is at the bottom, which is the case for most (but not all) tanks nowadays.

Personally, I vape A LOT out in the parking lot before getting on the plane to kick up my nic, so I usually have somewhere around a half-full tank getting on the plane. I just stick the whole thing (tank and mod) upside-down into a narrow side pocket in my laptop bag and have never had any sort of leaking. As soon as the plane lands, mod is out and ready to go.

To my mind though Seville is The City to visit - beautiful fusion of the modern with the classic and a fantastic cathedral and the Plaza De Espana designed to look like Venice for an international exhibition in the 20s....and of course there is that river with its walks and jazz bars

A friend spoke highly of Seville, too. I had just forgotten about it as the plan got shelved anyway. I enjoy doing partial plans with not too much travel involved, yet some travel to see more than one city/area. Which may or may not involve seeing more (or less) cities than originally planned based on gut feel, mood and "the way the wind blows".

Seems I will have time to travel during January/February, so I may just go then. Or rather, I will go... somewhere... but in the meantime my imagination has run wild and I may end up somewhere else entirely. Hopefully Taiwan. As I'm just a "short" (and quite cheap) flight away from mostly anywhere in Europe, it's easier to do the Spain thing later when I may have less time. Or just jump on a plane if the Taiwan thing doesn't pan out. Which it will... *knock on wood and fingers crossed*... I hope
