Keep EVOD vertical or upright when not using?

[Hotwire]

QUESTION - leave the ego with EVOD standing upright so no juice gets in the central tube of the tank or can these be left on their side (I'm thinking not, at least with my DEKANG 100% pg juices....?) What about when take off the EVOD with juice still in - leave upright or on side?

I use the t3s which is similar. and when its not in my hand, its laying on the table.

you can side lie these. they are bottom fed. There is no opening at the top that juice can get in.

Have had one of the evods vertical not connected to battery and ull with juice for 20 minutes now and zero signs of leakage, so I'm assuming vertical is best? Horizontal could let juice seep into the center tube?

That worries me, leaving them horizontal.....

if anyone can explain why horizonal storage (when still filled with juice is better) like they would to a 5 year old, I'm up for listening!

Doesn't matter, as long as your gasket is in place, it should not leak.

I would store it upside down when left in a warm vehicle though.

Well to answer my own question - store them horizontally.

Woke up this morning and both that I'd left upright had leaked half their juice content onto my desk!

If I was more careful I would keep vertical. As I lose my remote control when laying in a stationary position, means my ecig is in every position but vertical unless im at work(in pocket).

As above person said, ive lost tons of juice from laying my devices horizontally. That was with vivi novas and other ce4 types but nothing at all with my Kanger t3s or my protank x9 clone.

my protank lays on its side, zero leaks from it

I've heard that exposing the wicks to the air inside the tank is one of the primary causes of leaks... it lets the pressure equalize, which could draw too much fluid into the coil chamber.. Which will either work it's way down into the battery, or up into the air tube.

I try to store my eVods upright and I've had good luck

My APVs with Evods on them are lying all over the place (usually horizontal.) If they are connected properly there should be no leaks.

Lucy raised an important issue with the eVods and T3s... When the wick looses contact with the juice there's depressurization that causes the liquid to enter the coil chamber. I've had the same issue, been searching for answers and I'll go ahead and leave the eVod upright from now on, I believe that it'll do the trick. If it doesn't, I'll write here.

i leave mine upside down when im not using.......with cotton it can get over saturated and you might have some gurgling on the first few vapes......but not always so like everyone has said as long as all your seals are in place and tightly screwed together (but not wrenched tight) you should be good to just lie them around anywhere with no issues

Mine all stay upright every day all day as they sit atop an MVP 2.0, and when not in use they stand on a table on their own. You must have a bad seal in there.
