I've only vaped in winter too. Left my pv in the car the other day, left work looking forward to making some nice fog on the drive home and the carto was flooded. Stands to reason- the heat expands the air in the tank and it has nowhere to go but into the carto, PLUS the liquid is hot and thinner, so it flows better.

Juice will be thinner; especially a concern when using carto tanks. Last summer (it hit 100F more than a few times...) I was vaping 80PG in single-hole cartos & didn't frequently have problems... now I am using PGA-based flavorings at high %; my juice was water-thin in the winter, I am hoping summer won't wreck my tanks.

With tanks, I have found they seem to work fine when temps are consistent - it is in transitional seasons, when temps and atmosphere pressures or whatever go all over the place, that my tanks go haywire.

That's a trick here in CO. I'm going up to the mountains for the weekend, curious to see what effect it has. I'll go from 5300 ft. to probably 10,000 ft. My cartotank is my primary, but I have a Nova and solid cartos packed as well. Low pressure front moving in too.

I'm not sure if it was the cold weather or the altitude or what but my carto tank leaked while skiing. Multiple times. And this tank never leaks. The altitude threw off the pressure maybe. The novas seemed to be fine.
