flooding when temp goes from hot to cold?

[ashabrown]

Took a vacation and noticed more flooding than usual in my set ups which normally give me NO issues (IBTanks with iken or smok cartos- various batteries etc)

I noticed that after a long day of ac in the car, hot car for a few moments at rest stops, ac in the hotel and travel in my purse in the hot sun i was getting leaking that I normally never get. anyone else experience this? I think it will just make me feel better to know its not my tanks or cartos but temp issues that i cant control haha

There was a thread posting your same issue about a month ago. I don't really take my carto tanks outside the house to experience this. But yes weather seems to affect flooding.

Three possibilities come to mind:
1. Fluid viscosity (Hotter = thinner, leakier)
2. Pressure in the tank (Hotter = more pressure)
3. O-ring expansion/contraction (Hotter = rubber contraction)
