Between my wife and I we have over a dozen mods and probably twice that number of top and bottom coil tanks and RBAs they all are kept vertical.
I've heard (never tried it) that upside down helps to avoid flooding. Still vertical but upside down. Something about having the drip tip touching something that ain't me, I guess.

I lay my gear on their side (horizontal) all the time and very rarely do I have any flooding or leaking. This includes all of my kayfun RTA's. The only time I've had a kayfun leak was when it was really hot outside (100+) and I was carrying it in my pocket. I think the high temp thinned the liquid too much. From then on I carried it upside down in my pocket when it was really hot and... no more leaking. Pressure changes and temp changes can cause tanks that are vacuum controlled to leak. Keeping them upside down during drastic pressure changes and high temps will prevent them from seeping juice from the air holes.

I've always laid my glass tanks on their side if they are on a tube type mod too easy to knock over and damage. On our box mods they are vertical. I've never experienced any issues with our nauti's both full size and mini except as stated temp extremes. My dripper stays vertical period of course it's not out of my hand long at home either.

Grab a 2X4 and a drill and make one of these.

The wife and I picked up two stands with a place for 3 30ml bottles and a mod that the local B&M gave away on a facebook post. They're nice,Texas shape plexi with chrome standoffs from the black bottom plus two free 15ml bottles of juice. We put them on the end tables in the livingroom. The guy down my street makes furniture in his home shop and he gave me a nice piece of mahogany for the wife and a piece of red oak for me. I've got the layouts ready just got to spend some time this weekend and get all of the holes drilled and cutouts for the box mods done.
