IME, no, at least nothing I've noticed. Vaped at sea level and a mile high, sometimes in the same day. :)

Rapid changed of altitude will cause most bottom coil toppers to flood and leak (unless upside down), but I think that's not what you were asking :)

Does anyone know if altitude affects your vaping experience? I don't know why I just thought of that, but now I'm curious!

Interesting question, and I have no idea. Having cooked at sea level and a mile high I know that water boils at different temps depending on altitude. I think the lower air pressure at higher altitudes allows water to boil more quickly at lower temps but I'm not sure. It's possible that your juice could vaporize in the same way that water boils.

I'm just wondering about any effects ,makes sense about leaking. As usual , your answer is helpful![emoji4]

Yes, it's the lower air pressure that makes water boil at a lower temp.

Bottom coil tanks rely on a slightly lower than ambient pressure to keep them from leaking out. After all, it's a can full of liquid with a hole in the bottom and another in the top :lol:

What happens with a rapid rise in altitude is a simultaneous rapid lowering of the ambient air pressure, so the "suction" inside the tank is no longer sufficiently lower than the "new" ambient to be able to keep the liquid in.

It gets a bit gurgley and leaks a bit. Temperature and humidity affect me more.

Ahhh, made it through moving day and I’m still alive! My hands hurt and I’m in desperate need of a shower if I can find some clothes and towels but for now I’m kicking back with a beer and a vape. Well deserved, IMO ;) Soon the hubby and kids will turn back up, and the kids will be in awe and wonder to see their stuff in a new place (they were stashed at grandpas all day).

ChelsB, I'm so happy to hear your house is still standing, that's fantastic news. I hope you can enjoy your "vacation" a little more knowing that's the case :)

Trig, I don't know what it is with you and flavoring, but keep at it. I found DIY impressively easy, but I finally built my first tank start to finish without leaking (a Kayfun clone) and it took me months to get there, so just persevere, LOL.

Rainsong, congratulations, that's fantastic. I so hope you enjoy your new home!!!! :)

No Doubt I am a flavor fiend...Always amazes me that some people give flavor so little value...I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum and want each and every hit to be satisfying...I couldn't agree with you more on just how easy DIY really is...But I guess a part of that is being a good cook and having some idea of how to layer flavors together...And I'm careful & thoughtful...A recipe on paper floats around the house for days prior to mixing up a batch...I think I've done rather well on only having one true flub for my taste buds...On reading a bit more on "Butyric Acid" I found this interesting Thread...It's Not For Me !!!
Butyric Acid - Alternative to Diacetyl, Acetoin and Acetyl Proprionyl but Toxic by EPA?

Now...Who'd Like A Nice Tank of Tea Garden Cookie ???...:D:D:D
