I never thought of this but it happened to me this evening. I am visiting family in New Mexico and we are at about 4200 feet give or take. We took a drive up into the mountains and peaked at about 9200 feet.

I took one pull on my Vamo with AGA-T2 and it gurgled like crazy! I popped the top cap off and it spilled all over my lap. It makes perfect sense, I just never had the presence of mind to consider it. I have all my fill screws in and use a SS cable wick that fits snug in my wick hole, so with the air pressure change inside my tank as I climbed in altitude it must have just been spilling through the tiny gaps between my wick and the hole.

It left me wishing I had brought my syringe and screwdriver kit so I didn't have to waste all that delicious juice! Maybe this post will help someone in the future!
