Wondering how long I can leave a tank full of juice not being used?
yup - Lucy is spot on - keep in mind, typically if it is sitting out in a tank, there will be exposure to light and to a lesser extent air (in the tank) - both of which cause nicotine to degrade (and darken color) over time - this can impact flavor... that being said, i have had some tanks sit for a month or more with no major issues, though i have gotten to the point where i try and keep them in rotation... if i am not vaping on em regularly, i go ahead and vape em down, clean em out and store them empty

A clean used factory coil should be good for quite awhile if kept in a clean, dry place. I don't know, but I would imagine a hand built coil would be good indefinitely if kept in the same conditions.

I think a tank starts to taste stale if stored uncleaned for a week or so. Shorter than that, no problem.

I had juice in some of my tanks for over a year. Same battery(s) in the mods they are sitting on too. And I would say at least in my case, the juice last about the same if it was sitting in a juice bottle. Coils and wicks doesn't change in this amount of time. Although if you are using Kanthal and dry burn them, this cause micro fractures in the wire (you can see them with an eye loop) and they may rust. Otherwise I can't think of anything else.

Remember changing barometric pressure and temperature = Leaking.

Very true! I have personal (very messy) experience with this

Yes I hear this a lot, especially those who travels by air or travels through the mountains. Although living in the midwest sitting on my desk, I never had that problem with leaks. And these are Subtanks (all using the RBA) and I used to have Nautilus tanks too over a year.

I've had tanks half loaded for months.
Frankly, I can't remember what they originally tasted like. Good,,I vape. Bad,,I dump..
