fishguy1123 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I'm wondering how you all feel is the best way to store your tanks while filled? I've read drip tip down, right side up, just laying around etc... Is there a proper way to keep them overnight or for a cpl days?
bcartervol98 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Standing up, laying on their side, upside down, doesnt really matter imo. I keep 4-5 filled tanks in my case laying on their side all the time. I have never seen any difference in performance or failure-leaking rate because of the way tanks are stored. I grabbed a tank (KPT 2) of a flavor I only occasionally vape that had been laying on its side in my case untouched for over a month last night and popped it on and no problems at all.
bcartervol98 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I think it also depends on what kind, or more to the point what quality, of tank you are using. When I first started with Ce4s before swiching to BCCs and never looking back, the Ce4s would leak around the part where the mouthpiece screws in but since upgrading I have never had any problem with Davides both regular and mini or the KPT 2s.
fishguy1123 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 The 2 I bought to start out with were the mini pt2, and an evod. Only noticed slight seepage or possibly just condonsation running down so far. I decided when I'm done for the night I'm takeing them of my batt just to be safe for now.

I mean do what you feel comfortable with. I leave them on top of some of my batteries for weeks at a time, not gonna really hurt anything. My Vamo that stays at home now has a KPT 2 of Unicorn Blood on it that stays there for days at a time. It takes me all week to go through one tank at home as much as I am at work. I will have to post a pic lol. I now have a huge mug full of fully charged batteries that have full tanks on top of them. I use them till I have 5-6 dead at the same time then charge them all at once. I HATE messing with filling tanks and I would rather do it once every week than every day, plus I have my wifes to do as well. That means I have 6 KPT 2s, 6 Mini Davides, and 8 T3S's all full and screwed onto their own battery. The tank almost always outlasts the battery unless it is on a 1300mah Spinner or my Vamo but even if not, the battery gets topped off once the tank is empty. I always have 10-20 full tanks, on top of batteries, and (knock on wood) I have yet to have a battery issue. The battery arsenal consists of 6 18650s for the Vamo, 6 Spinner 1300MAH, 4 Spinner 650mah, 4 EgoT 1000mah non VV, 2 Ego 400mah minis, 2 650 mah Carpax batteries, and 6 650mah Designer Bedazzled batteries for the wife. The only ones showing signs of dropping in charge time are the bedazzled ones that my wife has used, abused, jumped in the lake with, she never cleans them before charging resulting in my chargers looking like they have scrambled eggs on them until I clean them. Long story short, this stuff is tougher than many think it is. Edited March 8, 2014 by bcartervol98

I do not want to seem like I am bragging, I am just pointing out everyone starts out trying to be careful and worry too much. I did. In fact approaching a year ago I made a post asking if it was ok to leave liquid in tanks for an extended period of time. You eventually realize there is only so many things that can go wrong and really none of those are things that can be planned for. Like I said everyone is different but I have had some of my batteries for over 10 months and as a boater that basically lives on the water in the spring, summer, and fall I have abused the hell out of them. Just last week I dropped a Spinner 650mah with a glass Davide mini on it in the paved parking lot and then accidentally kicked it into a puddle about 6" deep. I grabbed it, poured the water out of the mouthpiece, dried the battery off with a paper towel, ran a q-tip through it and blew out the coil and used it all day. Edited March 8, 2014 by bcartervol98
bcartervol98 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Oh and as far as the equipment goes, all my batteries, tanks, chargers, and everything hardware combined is still less than 6 weeks of smoking did and I will celebrate 11 months the 23rd of this month! My wife and I were spending over $550 a month on analogs all told. Now we use coils and liquid. I estimate our combined daily cost to be about $3. Edited March 8, 2014 by bcartervol98
fishguy1123 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Nah, no bragging felt! I too spend the my time afloat as I told you. I will gain more confidence as I get further involved in vapeing. To date, I started this monday afternoon. Had 14 analogs since and today a big fat 0! All due to the help and guidence of the group here.

I remember doing this with a full pack of analogs, it didn't turn out that well LOL
bcartervol98 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I remember doing this with a full pack of analogs, it didn't turn out that well LOL No doubt between breaking them, people bumming them, and getting them wet I lost more $$$ on analogs than I ever will on vape gear. I submerged a 1300 mah spinner on a lanyard around my neck for close to 30 minutes and I still use it all the time. I was hammered and forgot I had it on and jumped in my chair float. My wife noticed my lanyard and I was sure I had killed it but nope. Took off the tank, put on a new one and worked fine!
Compenstine Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah when it comes to vape gear it can in most cases take a licken and keep on vapen. I had dropped a 901 once around Halloween and didn't find it till that next spring LOL Dried it out and vaped just fine.
Bebop Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Lol. One time I found a clearo under my car seat - full - musta rolled under there who knows when. Fired it up , oh yeah, hadnt tasted that flavor for months, lol. It was fine.
