It's great when it cools down enough to be able to keep spare in the car. My purse gets very heavy during summer months! Been trying to talk myself into a canvas military go bag. Have also been looking at camera bags.

I use a camera type bag for a go bag in the summer. also fits my Kindle Fire in there :)
this summer I have gone to all squonking for out and about which makes things simpler.
No leaky if upright in a hot vehicle.

Of course my Subtank Mini V2's are not leaky with the RBA.
But if out with one and hot I put it upside down in the car.
Better safe than messy.

I'm too paranoid to leave batteries in car for any length of time in the summer. I usually carry 2 setups and spare batteries to work or if out all day. I use Nanos so I wouldn't have to worry about leaks nowadays. Wish I would have thought about pill bottle when I was still using minis and only had one mod. Had to mop up a few messes back then. :giggle:

Whichever way you want to set it, right side up or upside down..............it is NEVER a good idea to leave the batteries in a hot car, and just as bad to charge or discharge such batteries when hot.

There are rta's with juice flow control that don't leak. The kayfun v3/5/5 squared. Whenever i go to the city i just turn down the juicecontrol locked and no leaking at all. Those are all mtl/restricted dl devices tho, my high airflow rta's have always leaked on me.
I found this however a couple of days ago > https://www.geekvape.com/project/zeus-rta/
I dont know if it is released yet, but its basically marketed as "the leakproof rta". Pretty interesting.

Leaving a MOD or Tank in a Hot car really isn't a smart thing to do and I am surprised no one has mentioned it as of yet. Not good for batteries in the MOD and heated e-Liquids thin out and can run passed seals to short out the MOD. Just my opinion you know.

I pre ordered the Zeus. My go to rtas are my Nanos, I 've also never had my SMM leak. Almost impossible to get it leak other than over filling.

Haven't you read my post xD. My kayfuns are all leakproof lol.
I have only had 2 leaks in over 2 years from Kanger Subtank Mini V2's using the RBA.
In one case I had lost the Oring on the bottom of the RBA assembly while cleaning and not noticed.
The other was due to bad wicking job on my part.
I just them daily.
