Airplane proof tank?

[Harplayr]

I'm going on a trip soon and was wondering if there is any tanks or clearo's that can withstand the pressure changes of an airplane without leaking. So far every bottom coil device has leaked when taken on an airplane.

Any suggestions from you frequent flyers?

Harplayr--I'm really surprised that you have had this problem. I fly quite a bit, and I've never had a tank leak due to pressure on a plane. I had one leak in a carry-on, but it was because it came apart (i.e., I didn't tighten it well, or it came undone from being moved around).

For what it's worth, I've had success with all of these--Protank2, Protank2 Mini, Aspire BDC mini. My new favorite tank (evidently I don't need a lot of bells and whistles to be happy) is the Kanger T3s--but I haven't flown with it yet.

If pressure is really a problem, I wonder if it would help to not fill a tank completely?

I primarily have flown with T3's, EVOD, Phoenix bc and Pro Tanks. All have had issues from the pressure in-flight both with baggage and as carry on.

I live in a rural area and these are small planes, so maybe the air pressure regulation is better on larger planes.

Bottom coils all work off of pressure... so I'm not certain they'd be the best direction although I had thought I remembered the Phoenix BC's were mentioned as being pretty good... I also suspect that was on larger commercial flights though. So, for the trip at least... you may want to consider going with a top coil instead.

Personally I quit carrying any juice in a carto, clearo etc with the exception of the one I was vaping at the time. Now I carry around a few 3ml bottles instead and just fill/refill as needed. Of course, if it is an extended trip you'd probably want larger bottles ( mine were just for the day at work etc ).

I have read stories here where tanks leak from the pressure during take off and landing. One member suggested during this time to open the clearomizer a bit.

I'm going to Mexico next month and plan on bringing a cheap clearomizer and an ego battery to vape in the bathroom at the airport ( will not vape on the plane ). Right before boarding I plan on throwing out the cheap cleaomizer.

Once the plane lands ( have to wait anyways for the plane to taxi and ppl in front of you to get off ) I plan on filling up my Aspire Nautilus to use on my Provari. Once I'm outside the airport I'll be ready to vape.

I fly every week, and don't have any issues with mine. I use MT3's and Evods, but I make sure to keep them upside down in my purse. That allows for any expansion, without pushing the liquid out the bottom. I may have a few drips from the wick that leaks out the top, but I allow for that by keeping them all wrapped in a paper towel.
I fly twice a week, every week, and have not had an issue yet. The only problem I ever had was with a 5ml bottle of liquid that I did not tighten the lid on. Everything still smells like popcorn that was in the bag with it.

I had leaking just driving into the hills! By the time I got to about 5000 feet, it was a mess.
But it's SOLVED it thanks to someone else's advice.

TURN YOUR THING UPSIDE DOWN.
Tested with ProTanks - I swear - with the tank upside down, it allows the pressure to equalize, and you get no leak.

I just flew from the US to Iceland and back a couple of weeks ago.
I took 10 filled Phoenix BC's in my carry-on, and had no leaks.
When I travel I cap the ends with 3/8" screw proctors, and I've never had one leak in transit.
