Are there any tanks that won't leak on an airplane?

[Zelesnikar4789w]

The only thing I have found that will not leak or flood is my cheap ViviNova...I just wish I could find one that produces a better flavor for my travel gear. I have tried kangers, cartos, a Russian 91, and a kraken with noooooo luck...just a juice filled pocket and a ruined shirt. Before this turns into a "don't vape on an airplane" thread, I already know that. I'm looking for advice from people with their own personal pressurized aircraft, pilots, or people that have noticed their set up hasn't leaked or terribly flooded. Also, I know about the tip it upside down or open it until altitude trick...it doesn't work
Thanks for the advice in advance!

Not my favorite vape, but try the mega dual coil cartos smoke makes. 2 of those should be ~10mls and get you through most plain trips.

No tank is leak proof. The cabin pressure drops when the plane ascends causes an increase in the volume of air in the tank and displaces any liquid through any opening. You could prevent "leaking" by ensuring that a top coil tank is right side up or a bottom coil tank is upside down. A pressure sealed tank is unusable since the liquid is also prevented from wicking. Your best bet if you are unable to properly orient you tank, is to drain the liquid into a sealed container (like your juice bottle).

My Phiniacs don't leak as long as they are full to the top (liquid does not expand/compress like gases do with air pressure changes). You can also try "burping" the tank a few times while ascending by sliding the tank up off the carto...

Spheroid.....

I travel quite a bit for work, and keeping my MT3s BCCs upside down until we're over 10k feet seems to do the trick. I've seen quite a few threads in the travel forum about this, including some from military and commercial pilots, and they swear by it as well. Descents never seem to cause any issues, just the climbouts.

This I'm going to try, once I get a little safer set up on my dripper (and better at building)..and I need to remember to build it a tad bulkier...no sub ohm on a plane! One hit at altitude and I'd probably be light headed!

I have one of these and while the vape does taste better, I can't be trusted to walk around my house with out pulling out the carto and ending up with a lap full of juice. Last time I used it, I lost a full tank of my fave kiwi juice into my fave jeans! I have just tried dripping into the carto and that is basically the only way I trust myself to use this thing....unfortunately I usually end up with too much in there and then it comes out the bottom....basically I suck at these things. Maybe a locking carto?

The only thing that hasn't leaked on an airplane for me is a carto.
I had some luck with turning bcc's or carto tanks upside down while ascending or descending.
IMO, leaving a little air space in the tank while inverted helps.
I tried the completely full carto tank last trip, didn't work for me.

The simple solution is always the best one

If the Russian leaks....won't this leak too? Or does that filler help? Also, where the heck do you even get one of these? Or that filler stuff? They look a bit wonky on a provari, but shoit if it doesn't leak, who cares?

I usually make sure the tanks I am taking are pretty much drained, Protanks will self empty regardless of if they are upside down,sideways or right side up. my last few flights I've had good luck with right side up top coil 30s tanks. almost empty at take off and if nessecary excuse myself to the bathroom and add a bit of juice after at altitude if needed. for a few stealth hits here and there just a bit of juice in the tankand what is in the wicks will work. I fly almost weekly, 4-6 take offs a week so I have plenty of time to test methods and countless hours to ponder the pros and cons of pressure changes, wishing for morre knee room, watching how they can get 27 drinks poured out of a single can of coke etc

The Russian, which is a clone of the Kayfun, operates with pressure so it would leak. The Spheroid does not use pressure and is 100% leak proof. They can be purchased here GP SPHEROID V2 | Domo Vapor Co. or at Vapourart.com when in stock (currently o.o.s.). They hold about 2mls and use Sera Wool as the filler. May look a bit "wonky" on a Provari but the flavor and vapor are IMO far superior to any carto.

Used T3's, MT3's, CE4's and CE5's on take off and in flight, and never had any leak..and never turned one upside down either..and have over 5000 flying hours, while vaping too....mostly all military flight time but also on Jet Blue, Southwest and Delta..
