Travel and Vaping Has anyone flown with a Nautilus tank and have they leaked?

[mctess]

I'm flying tomorrow and trying to figure out my tank situation. I have a few Nautilus tanks I'm using right now and really hate the idea of throwing out the juice in them beforehand so that I can fly. The tanks aren't full - probably 1/2 full. Any major leakage issues with a 1/2 full Nautilus while flying?

I always fly with my Aspire Nautilus Tanks empty. I usually vape in the bathroom and when ready to take-off I rinse my e-liquid out and dry my tank out with paper toweling.

Upon landing while taxing to the gate I fill my Nautilus back up so it's ready to go as soon as I get off the plane.

I have heard to many stories about tanks leaking on planes. Some say if you turn them upside down they might work....I would rather dump the e-liquid then to have to clean up the mess that the tank leaked.

You could always take the tip off your e-liquid bottle and pour out the e-liquid back in the bottle...put the tip and cap back on and you'll be able to save our juice.

Good Luck to You!!!

Great - Thanks for the info.

As an aside, my wife recently traveled with 3 Nautili (lol) and all 3 were filled. The one she kept in her purse on her mod was fine. The 2 she put in a plastic bag in her carry on both flooded (but didn't leak too much). I found that odd as I would have almost expected the reverse.

Better to drain them altogether!

I've had mixed luck with the nautilus leaking. The last two times went OK but I took it off the battery, closed the airflow and kept it upside down in my carry on.

I flew with a half full Nautilus mini yesterday. Closed off the air flow, wrapped it in a paper towel, and stuck it in a baggie. Didn't leak a drop.
