Atomizer goes dry if left a few Hours?

[catwoman]

I work in an unsupportive (to vaping) environment and I want to stealth vape. But I find if I leave the riva in my pocket or on a lanyard for a few hours and then try a puff, it's dry even if refilled just before I put it away. So I have to take it apart, take out the fluval stuffing, fill and restart, and there goes my few minutes of peace and quiet. Should I just give up? go back to the old 510 and drip? any ideas? Will I have the same problem w/ a cart? I don't like them as well, though.

Just keep your Riva and drip. Keep a small bottle of juice in your purse, take the cart off and give it 3 drops. Or switch to a drip tip.

I'm curious why the carto would dry out in just a few hours. Shouldn't do that.

You really need to use cartomizers instead of carts for the type of environment you are describing. They hold more then a cart and you can easily carry multiples. Also - you covering the ends holes aren't you? You really do need to cover the hole to prevent drying. You might also think of carrying a smaller pv's with less mah when stealth vaping - easier to hide and less vapor

I keep my 510 in my shirt or pants pocket at work. I semi-stealth vape only because I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. Never have any problem, don't take any special care.

Glycerine and PG don't evaporate quickly nor easily, so I don't see why capping an end would help. If you don't believe this, put a drop of e-liquid on a mirror (then put the mirror someplace safe so pets/kids don't get into it) and see how long it takes for that drop to disappear.

To the OPs issue, I keep mine in the pocket stored cartridge up, gravity and wicking keep the atomizer moist. That's about the only thing I can think of to help.
