I've got two ego batteries and a protank 2. I bought an eGo carrying case. I had a feeling that the protank would leak out of the drip tip despite situating it right side up in the case in my pocket. Well, that did happen. I have one of those jobs where you're frequently crouching and squatting, so it wasn't a huge shock when I went out for a break and it was gurgling to the max and hardly any vapor was coming out.

Is there an atomizer/clearomizer I can get that won't do that? Basically something that can be held upside down that won't leak out of the drip tip lol

Actually, bottom coil tanks like protanks and evods do better stored upside down. Stored right-side up, you can get slow seepage from around the coil and major leaking with temperature and air pressure changes. Upside down, the fluid stays in the tank and air pressure has a chance to equalize through any gaps around the wick. My evods became much better travelers once I learned that.

For that very reason, when I'm busy and out and about, or doing some kind of manual DIY work, I use an Ego battery with a CE4, (I've never had a CE4 leak other than after dropping it).

1. At home, dinner with friends or out in restaurants etc: MVP2/Protank
2. General out and about, in the car etc: Vision Spinner/Protank or Ego
3. DIY kind of work, out on my bike etc: Ego battery/CE4 around my neck

I'm wondering if it's something in the tank like the head isn't seated properly or not. Storing the thing right side up has never resulted in any kind of a leak for me whatsoever. Do you think that maybe something isn't fastened tight enough that would allow it to leak out of the drip tip?
