Summer flooding

[erratum]

The heat is here.

And, with the heat, comes thinning juice ... and it seems the flooding of every tank I have.

Is there any way around this? ... it does not seem to matter what I do, if I leave a tank in the car for any amount of time, here comes the gurgles & here comes the leaks. All my tanks ... Aspire & off brand EGO tanks ... Goblins ... EarlK ... ST Mini ... anything.

I know ... "don't leave them in the car" ... but I don't take my vape (and backups, cuz ya gotta have those) everywhere I go ... movies ... restaurants ... grocery store ... I don't want to tote around a man-purse or a fanny pack, just so I can vape when I exit the theatre .. ya know?

Is there anything that I can do about this heat related issue ... or even any tanks that do NOT have this issue with very thin (warm/hot) juice leaking all over the place.

I guess I could invest in a soft cooler & a ice pack. (shrug)

Hmm...use RDAs? For me, just knowing its summertime means there is 0 leaving a tank sitting in my vehicle, because it's gonna leak.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

I haven't found a solution yet either. Was thinking about the cooler idea myself, but was worried about keeping my mod dry.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Cartomizers?

If you're only going to be out for a few hours, I'd say carry one and keep it with you. Never leave one in the car on a hot day, you'll certainly have a mess to clean up.

I know exactly how you feel. I ended up coming back out to the truck after leaving a clients house and my armrest is saturated with juice. That's when it really hit me that summer is here.

Sounds like a cooler & one of those plastic freezer blocks with the blue liquid is in my future. No vaping of the blue liquid.

Just store any bottom coil upside down. The coil air holes will be above the juice and can't leak. Same with flying.

 

[DavidOck]

Depends on your chosen topper, but maybe leaving them upside down?

But excess heat will damage your batteries, so it's really best to NOT leave them in a hot car. Bad things other than leaks of juice can happen...

Yep one advantage to not using big rigs for vaping. I always carry mine with me. 2 spare Ego batteries and 2 spare filled tanks in a little case that fits nicely in my pocket. What I am vapin on in my shirt pocket.

Don't leave it in the car, the battery probably doesn't enjoy it any more than your juice does

Will still dribble just a bit.
And with the juice all hot in the car as soon as you put them upright they tend to flood all over.

Can't really recommend leaving anything with a battery in it in your car for an extended period of time on a hot day (even a cellphone might start acting funky if it's in direct sunlight or something).

In regards to the cooler, that's not a bad idea. A cooler does a pretty good job of actually staying "cool" even without ice in it. You might be fine putting your backup in a cooler sans-ice (I'd be worried about ice melting, water, etc., which would be a whole 'nother issue on its own).

Happened to me as well,if i'm using a tank i no longer leave it in the car i will just carry it with me.

Already had 102° over the weekend already. This isn't my first rodeo for vaping during summer heat.

-don't leave Li-ion batteries inside a hot car unless it's a Tesla.
-use four smaller holes rather than four larger holes in cartos inside my carto tank.

It's amazing how warm a carto tank will get vaping outside when it's over 90°.

Yep the issus is not JUST with leaving them in a hot car. I upped my VG content in my juice a bit to help compensate for the heat.
Always carry some Vaper Towells and Qtips you will need em.

No need for a manpurse or satchel, carry your mods/juice like a real man and show everyone whats up! Can easily fit 6 mods/5 rds/ and a plethora of juice all in a stylish vest.

So if heat is so bad for LI-ion batteries how come the hybrid cars aren't bursting into flames in +100° weather. The auto makers must be using better batteries than us.

I run 95% VG all year long. The other ingredient is 5% water. Like multi viscosity motor oil, I can use it all year long.

I left my tank in my truck last winter and at 10 degrees with 50/50 it would not even vape but one little puff then burned the wick.
Yeah we vape "antifreeze" but it gets thick.
