I've been reading about tanks leaking. And that scares me, I'm starting to doubt my currant supply I mean I'll only be gone 3 days, but I remember our smoker group and it was HUGE every class let out and it was just a huge cloud. I've been in contact with one of the managers who used the ecig last year but even he bummed a few when his battery died in nervous when I should be haha

Tanks leaking is a minor concern, but easily fixed.
First, take only a tiny amount of liquid in the ecig as you board the plane. Just enough for the time in the airport and the flight. Keep the rest in the sealed bottle it comes in. The more air and less fluid you have in the tank the less likely it is to leak.
Second, as your taking off, give the ecig a small suck every 4-5 minutes until you're at altitude. This will help keep the air pressure in the tank the same as outside. Leaking is caused by the air pressure dropping as you gain altitude which acts like pumping compressed air into the tank. The pressure inside the tank is the same as ground level, but is much lower outside the tank. The air wants to escape and balance the pressure and forces the liquid out along with it. An occasional quick suck (Don't fire the batteries) will equalize the pressure.
And finally, refill the tank after you've landed.
I had a LOT of experience with changing air pressures and tanks while I was in Colorado. I would bounce between 7,000 and nearly 13,000 feet altitude several times a day. It required constant equalizing of the air pressure in the tanks to prevent leaking, but that's all it takes. A quick little suck on the drip tip and it's good until the next 1,000 feet or so of altitude.
