clearomizer storage question

[joshonemoore]

can i keep my tanks (especially delta and kanger areo mega) upside down when full and not in use, as they sit better with the tip removed than right side up and tilted on the 510. i havent built or purchased a stand yet, and also for when steeping it would be nice to turn it over. i assume shaking is not advisable.

Yea upside down is probably best, cuz if it's right side up the coil may flood then it'll leak, take off the drip tip and keep it upside down. But I also keep my tanks laying on their side and haven't had a problem yet.

It should't make a difference in what position the tanks are stored. These operate by negative pressure (vacuum), not by position or gravity.

Early first generation tanks were suseptible to positioning, modern tanks not so much.

The only time where storing them upside down would be advantageous would be during marked temperature changes (going from hot summer weather into air conditioning, or vice versa) or marked barometric pressure changes (flying or driving in mountains vs sea level).
