I was going to post a final follow-up to my thread in the 'new members' sub-forum re: 'airplanes and leaking,' but that one's closed, so here's a new thread to finish it up:
I've used Halo tanks and now the (by recommendation) Kanger Mini Protank 2's, and.... on long flights (ie, 7+ hours), neither tank is proof against leaking. I've demonstrated this to myself now dozens of times. Once in awhile, I can get through a long flight without a leak, but that result is both random and surprising when it happens.
Personally, I far prefer the Kanger, but that baby leaks like a {moderated} just as the Haloes do. Because of its design, the Kanger *is* much easier to clean up and use after a leak than the Halo, but the pressure changes over a long flight still get to it.
So: putting the tank in a pill bottle is a good call and reduces the mess, but really the only solution right now is to empty the tanks prior to a flight and refill after a flight. You *may* get through a flight without a leak, but the longer the flight is, the less chance that has of happening.
