Any ideas on how to carry a MAP tank?

Mine is made out of poly carbonate tubing (maybe just as strong?)

I'm not to worried about the tank breaking, I'm just worried that the rubber pieces will slide out somehow and all my liquid will leak out in my pants :(

I might be too paranoid, but I would feel much safer with a case of some sort.

When I got the tanks me and my bro were fiddling with them and didn't know that if the rubber seal gets lubricated with the liquid it will fall apart. We had quite a night last night at a concert with our map tanks slipping all over the place haha.

Of course we watched some videos on the web, and know what we did wrong, but I'm just worried that it will still happen if the rubber isn't drenched in liquid!

My plastic syringes are bending like crazy. I need to take off the top, fill it up and re-assemble. I make sure every thing is dry though. I'm going to attempt to find a metal syringe, which will make me look like more of a ...... addict with all my bottles and parts I have lying around.

I'm sure everything is fine, I'm just scared of getting all my liquid in my pants/shorts pocket!

I take it you didn't get a real MAP tank (only CoV sells them) if yours isn't made of the same stuff. But either way, as long as it's dry when you put the top on (both the tank and the top) it shouldn't come off at all. If it's loose right after you put it on (ie you can easily pull it off) it's not dry and try again. Once it's on there correctly it shouldn't ever come off. I've carried them in my pockets all the time, sometimes even without being on my ego/provari, and never had it pop off.

Only problem I've had is that one where they leak a little if you keep it on its side. (juice runs into the air tube and out the bottom)

I usually carry my pv in my hand while walking around. Sometimes I stash it in the inside pocket of my jacket, and sometimes I put it in the back pocket of my jeans. I have forgotten that it was in my back pocket and have taken a seat. That thing never came apart, although I think I was lucky with the sitting and not coming apart and this has happened a couple of times at least.

I take the top cap off to fill. I completely disassemble it (except I dont remove the CE2 from bottom cap) to clean it daily. I also find that I cannot get the top cap back on if I dont lube it up with some of the juice. I also find that once it's on for a little while, it does not come off easily. I have not noticed any damage to the o-rings and am still on my original set of o-rings. Do not lay them on their side as the juice will leak out of the tip. Very small price to pay for such a wonderful vape.

I have been using map tanks for 2 months now and this is my experience, ymmv.

I'll try carrying it around in my pocket once I get more juice. I really don't want to lose about 4ml of liquid if it busts open. :(
I'm running so low on juice because I lost A LOT when I was fiddling around with it yesterday. I went through SOO many paper towels haha.


and Yeah This isn't exactly a map tank, but it's almost identical, A LOT cheaper and looks better :p (thx emanguba!)
