Tanks flooding in the cold

[PoeDung]

Hi,
Has any one had trouble with the e-juice flooding the tank onto the battery in winter time? I live in Rochester, MN where ecigs are banned anywhere real cigs are so I have to go outside at work. Now that it's winter time with temps in the single digits and windchills at -20 degrees the liquid floods into the battery. I'm using a vision spinner and have had this happen on a ce5 and evod clearomizers. Any tips to control or prevent this?
Thanks,
Mike

Welcome to the forum!

I don't have any experience in extreme cold to answer your question, nor can I think of any logical reason it would.

If all else fails, try a cartomizer for those cold situations.

Yup. They will. Both my protank II and unitank do if left in the cold. The seals shrink in the cold and floods out the coil. A dripper will do in the winter. I left my M16 and Trident in the car when it dropped down to 22 a few weeks ago... actually was a nice vape with a few fresh drops of juice. Cool and crisp.

Wow that's weird. I've found they tend to flood more in the heat!

Any kind of quick temperature change, hot to cold or cold to hot, makes my bottom coils flood sometimes. I've switched to a cartomizer and leave the clearos at home.

It was -5 this morning and my protank flooded from being outside and in my unheated car for 15-20 minutes

Yup has totally happened to me! When I have left my Aspire BDC in the car to go into the movies I came out the flavor was flat and totally flooded!! This was only 30 degrees here in the Catskills.

Do they make non dripping Cartomizers?

They make carto-tanks, not sure if that would leak in really cold weather though. Here's a review to a few: A PBusardo Review - The Gothic Vaping and Salt & Pepper Carto Tanks - YouTube

I picked up a couple cartomizers at my local vape shop & holy cow the flavor is much better and with 6mg of nic I'm actually getting a buzz again! They came pre-punched, if that matters for the cold? But the next few days will be the test to see if they flood. Thanks for the suggestions.
