I should have been more precise Deb. 
You wouldn't take it off every time you lay it down. You would duplicate what you did with the carto on, that is turn if off and lay it down just the same but without the carto to see if the same thing happens. Just once would be enough to see if you have a residual voltage draw from you pv with the carto attached.
FWIW the battery will heat up if it is being discharged rapidly though I doubt you are vaping fast enough and long enough to create that condition.

Yep, capellas. Did this deal...
5 Flavor Super Deal for 19.95
As to the sealed question... powdercoated ones I'd say are sealed. The chrome stainless have a pin design with an ego native 'channel', so I'd call them relatively unsealed. Aren't a ton of issues from leakage, though, because people clean the connection. Sorry to be so obtuse.. rather weird answer to a simple question with the all metal tubes. However, the Young June v2 tubes (at crystal clear vaping) seem to have a 'closed' connection.

Thank you so much orach. It gives me something to go on. I am always cleaning connections. Dripping is still my favorite form of vaping, and invariably I'll forget I had just dripped some and drip again.
Hiya folks,
Do I need any adapter to use my ego clearos and Vivi Nova tanks on the V-Tube?

I just got this Xtar and a few AW 18350's for the SS Vtube mini (which I guess were charged prior to shipping cause it took maybe 10 min to finish). While the charger is safer than most at that price, and I think most of you are using 18650 batteries (among others, which I'm sure fit great) the 18350's require 2 spacers in order to work with this charger, which is no big deal. HOWEVER, using 2 spacers on either side causes the battery to basically sit at the midpoint of the battery slot, which is where there is no wall on either side. This leaves the 18350 free to JUMP out when the wind blows too hard. Really though it always happens when putting the second battery in and the slightest nudge will cause it to slip out, or slingshot out the side when the spring releases. It may not necessarily be considered a problem by most, but it sure is annoying having to align each one carefully every time and slowly retreat without causing the "Operation" game buzzer to go off. Anyone come across this issue with these or other batteries that use spacers?
orachel,
I figured out the vivi nova tank problem. Mine didn't work on two seperate occasions after I took it apart to clean and change flavors. Other times it worked like it used to. As you might have gathered from chatting with me for some time now I wasn't going to let that happen without figuring it out!!!!!
I haven't eaten dinner yet (playing with the damn tank). So I am going to feed the dogs, eat myself and think about the best way to state the solution so everyone can understand and fix their own. Be back soon!

yes the 510-510 shorty and 3.5ml tank cone adapter. Orachel explains the adapters needed for vtube in this tutorial/
18350 batteries sitting in no man's land...
The spacers work to charge the 18350, but that size is not listed on the box for whatever reason
No, well yes if you want! But it is NOT needed!
Here is how to use the Vivi Nova V2 (air hole above the 510 threads, not on knurled ring that makes up bottom of tank) with the chrome or SS Lavatube (L-Rider V2) WITHOUT an adapter (510-510 shorty) or 3.5ml tank cone.
You should only need to follow these directions once. After that you will know where to point.
1, put a mark on the lower knurled bottom ring of the tank (I used a Sharpie) directly over the air hole.
2. screw the knurled bottom ring on to (or actually into) the Lava Tube (Vtube) firmly but not tighter than where it stops.
3. either mark the place where the first mark rests on the top of the LT or (if your lucky) it will line up with a button.
4. simply turn the slit (groove?) in the brass colored center pin to that mark (or place).
Now you should have perfect air flow. Mine is not too tight, not too airy. Each time you want to put your tank on your LT simply turn that slit to the same spot. If you used a mark you will soon learn where the spot is in reference to something. For instance my spot is approx. 1/8 inch to the right of the right edge of the fire button.
OR use an adapter or tank cone. But I knew it could be done!!
While the 18350 might not be listed on the XTAR WPII box, Orbtronic.com, the battery and charger supplier, has added it to the write-up of the WPII on their website. They also found out who was buying all their WPII's and Panasonic 18650's because the website also now specifically mentions ecigs and vaporizers on the write-ups for these products. As of 7/17/12 @12:30PM EDT they were out of stock on both these items but Sal from Orbtronic.com says they are both ordered and he expects them in shortly.
That makes sense and should work if the threading on both is precise, however my Vivi Nova threading is SLOPPY and the diameter of the 510 connection is slightly smaller than whatever it should be. So I have to keep it centered while screwing it in because it wobbles quite a bit until tightened all the way. It has become skewed or warped or misshapen after having to do this on various devices and adapters. This makes the brass center pin rotate when tightening the tank, so it will not stay aligned where the mark is. When I unscrew the tank the slit is in a different spot almost every time. Also the center pin on my SS vtube seems to be slightly off too.
So ideally your method SHOULD work if manufacturers had to adhere to any quality control standards. Even with the 3.5 tank cone adapter I have to adjust it 1/4 or 1/2 back after tightening.
Maybe that's why they include the 18350 in the description, and yes it charges just about everything. It was also listed on every other site that sells that charger - I just thought it was funny that the spacers cause that size battery to sit where where they can easily pop out all the time, and noticed it wasn't advertised on the box. Probably not related, or maybe it is? Could be why they make the Xtar MP2, but I'm sure I will need the 18650 for something soon enough so I got this one.
A bit off top but what the heck, sue me.
An interesting new VV PV from eGo, Super Variable Voltage eGo
If this unit works a well as the eGo twist it should be a great beginners VV PV with adjustable volts from 3v to 6v just like the big boys.

Holy frijole! These people never want to see me actually save money, I swear. When that comes in 1000 maH I'm on it like a fly on a cow patty. I have two Twist's and they are fantastic.
