Leaking tanks, hot environment

How can I prevent this? I recently started at a new jobsite and its very warm. Lol. I catch wiffs of the juice in my pocket leaking out of the take, and it makes a good awful mess when I'm on break. I carry another tank in another pocket to switch the flavor up, and it will leak also.

1 is an Arctic, and one is an MK Vision. My zephyrus is alittle messy too but that's not from just the heat. Lol

Bottom coil tanks are subject to leaks due to the expansion of air and liquid in them when going into a warmer environment, pressure increases in the tank and liquid gets pushed out the bottom. The opposite happens when going into a cooler environment, air and liquid shrinks a bit reducing the pressure and sucking more air into the tank. Can be a real pain in the ass if going in and out of buildings in winter and summer due to the possibly drastic temperature differences between indoors and outdoors.

Best way to avoid it? Keep the tank upside down.
With the tip down and the air holes up, then air will be able to leave it freely instead of liquid being pushed out.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like that's just the nature of the beast so to speak?
