Do they exist?

I carry an old eGo box with me to work everyday that I keep bottles of ejuice and spare parts. Almost everyday, I have to clean everything off because juice is leaking from every bottle.

Are there any bottles out there that do not leak?

I had the same problem when I was using attys and carts. I still haven't found any bottles that won't leak when layed on their side or end up pointed down.

What I did was use one of those ziplock snack bags to put my juices in. At least the leaks were confined to the bag. And put those lids on really tight.

I finally solved the whole bottle leaking problem by switching to cartomizers. Just fill up as many as you need for the day. Put the condoms back on both ends. Switch out as needed. Leave the bottles at home. Or, you could do the same thing with carts and attys. Just don't overfill.

Here's a tip for those that don't want to buy new bottles.

When I recap my plastic bottles for travelling, I ever so slightly squeeze the bottle while replacing the cap tightly. If you're going from a lower temp environment to a warmer one (i.e. house to car), the liquid will expand a lil' bit. By capping while squeezing, you are creating a slight vacuum. As the juice warms, it will have room to expand without leaking.

I've been fortunate thus far, no leaks. YMMV...

Nice tip, works well. ;-)
