Can you leave tank unused?

[seipher09]

Is it ok to keep a spare tank in my car? If I put a fresh coil and juice in it and just leave it there only if my main tank has a coil burn out on me?

Would I have to use it every so many days or change the coil every so many days or would it be fine to use even if it's just been sitting there a month or more?

i honestly wouldn't recommend it.. temp and air pressure changes can cause it to leak. i would leave some juice out of the sun in a bottle and spare empty, but setup tank.

I'd have to completely agree with this.

I bring spare e-Liquid and tanks with me but I never leave them in the vehicle for extended periods of time.

Dont do it... an empty tank yes...even still iffy.... it will pick up bizzare taste from elements within the car from heating and cooling...i only leave mine in the car for no more than 15 minutes otherwise it comes along...too many times it has gotten a funky taste if left in there for like say an 8 hour shift in 105 degree weather yea extreme but to make the point.

I have seen the interior temperature of my vehicle at 140°F in the summer. I used to keep a thermometer in the A/C duct because an older truck had an A/C system converter to 134A.

Yea, I heat steep my juice, if you go much above 130 for extended period you will scorch your juice too

I also use heat to speed the infusion but the temperature I go by is not over 150°F.

Gotta agree with Cheallaigh on this one

I've kept filled tanks for over a year in the house and then vaped them with no issues (other than really well steeped juice ). I've kept empty and cleaned tanks on the shelf for years, then filled and vaped them with no issues.

For storage in a car I would keep the tank empty and fill and use when needed. Temps in a car are not going to hurt the tank.

If you keep a filled tank in a car temperature change is definitely going to cause leaks. It's OK if you don't mind the mess ... but it would bug me.

Best of luck with it!

You can, but will you like it?

No problems (if you are not driving in mountains) with keeping filled up tank in a car for a month in winter. Or for 4 months in winter if you live in Minnesota.

The stuff does not freeze in my freezer. -4F, I believe.
From the other side (Wikipedia, Pubchem, etc.) melting point of glycerin is 64F (?!).
Go figure...

I wouldn't leave a filled tank in my car. Empty maybe. Living in the middle of the desert I don't leave anything in the car that I don't have to, it's usually too hot.
